Picked up Clair Obscur on the Steam sale, because Jennifer English is in it, therefore as a neurodivergent lesbian it is my duty to play it

Silksong was developed the way it was because the developer didn't have to worry about money.

The only way you get more games developed like Silksong is if Universal Basic Income becomes a thing.

Yes, there is technically nuance in the tech world and development of machine learning. That does not mean the plagiarism machine is fine actually.

And of course, we cannot forget that: We already KNOW how to fix climate change. Climate scientists actually are very clear on what causes climate change and what is needed to reverse that. The issue is finding the political willpower to execute on that.
We have to legally enforce climate mandates.

The argument I'm most frustrated about, is when someone argued against people boycotting ChatGPT with "but what if AI will solve climate change?"
First of: ChatGPT and other LLMs are CONSTANTLY making the environment worse, not better.
Second: explain how? you're just bullshitting.

There are very valid usecases for Reinforcement learning, the science field of AI has a lot of different fascinating ways they handle data processing. And there are amazing applications when these processes are applied by specialists. Stealing images or written works are not one of them.

You know what really annoys me about LLM/GenAI arguments?
The faux-naunce position of: "But GenAI must have some good use cases" merely because it seems to be a nuanced middle of the road statement, rather than because they actually understand GenAI. There is no valid usecase for LLM's/ Image GenAI

"Phil needs coffee" Phil needs to take a seat and shut up actually.

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls.

we can beat them

The job market in northern Thedas sure is cutthroat

Rook: Let's calm this wisp down.
Rook: And then immediately make it get a job.

It's impossible to rewatch sense8 without being in physical pain that the show never got 5 full seasons.

Just please don't smash all the diamonds next time.

An Extremely Personal Lord of the Rings Retrospective YouTube video by Ladyknightthebrave

(For real, go watch the new video by @ladyknightthebrave.bsky.social right here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=As0R...
Extremely proud we could help provide some insight for it!!)

Screenshot from LadyknightTheBrave's video on Lord of the Rings. The background is a greentinted scene from The Two Towers, with Treebeard walking through the remains of the destroyed forest. In the center of the screen is a text in pink letters with white details reading "Special Thanks Aranock Triss from the Garden Gystem"

She's about 3 or 400 away from her goal of being able to afford a decent heater for the coldest part of Canada because her furnace is broken again. Please donate so my friend is not freezing her ass off

Im gonna stream today and tommorow to hopefully raise the money to go get another space heater cause the current amount isnt enough and the furnace wont be repaired for 2 weeks. I also need to raise some money for medications. Will post when I'm live! If you feel like supporting ahead of time:

It's going to be a massive project, I am juggling 7 different character saves at the same time. But I hope I can do the game justice! And I hope people will like when I put out more about this project! (8/8)

I don't think, necesarily, reviews focussing on one playthrough are incomplete, not at all. It is a very valid lens and focus for the purpose of a review. But I want to make something to share how varied the game can be, covering all classes, origins. As much of the companions as I can. (7/8)

Often I find a review or retrospective on the games that has clearly done a single playthrough, and presents that as the full picture. But there is room for more! Different character arcs, directions for companions to go in, how build interacts with character. (6/8)

I love making new characters, exploring their worldview and challenges through these games, their bonds with people and the world itself.
It's honestly what bothers me so much about a lot of coverage on the game I've seen come by. (5/8)

My main love is for STORYTELLING! That is also why games like Dragon Age resonate with me so much, and why I wanted to stream and share them! And that is what I want this video project to focus on, how the game tells it's story alongside the Player AND my own story with it (4/8)
