It sure does! Would you recommend the restoration patch?

Oh, I'd forgotten. It's been... Like 20-ish years since I last played, admittedly.

It could be seen that way, but since we never learn if that warping us permanent, it's hard to know if your impact will be lasting. For characters we explicitly guide back to the light through their story, there's a stronger chance. The ones pulled along by force (hah) may revert when you're gone.

Exactly, just as she asserts thoughtless service can do harm, she asserts thoughtless cruelty serves nothing at all and exposes the weakness in your character. She's a fascinating villain and it's why she's one of my favourite videogame characters.

Hell the whole companion influence system is horrifying when you think about it. You're practically bending your companions' wills like a black hole bends light.

I'm glad somebody else sees it as a meta commentary and not her literally saying "Charity bad". She's specifically calling *you* out because taking on the struggles of others (via sidequests) is making you measurably stronger and putting you in a position of power and influence over them.

the quality of each star trek show is directly proportional to how often you see the characters engaging in hobbies

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u

There are voice actors who will voice your stuff for free.

Imma repeat myself for any Dev/Creator that is considering AI.

THERE ARE VOICE ACTORS WHO WILL VOICE YOUR STUFF FOR FREE.

Signed, a voice actor who did voice act FOR FREE for almost NINE YEARS.

Don’t make excuses. Stick to human talent.

And he's so good as a villain in terms of his writing. Just so smug, condescending, and self assured. Makes it soooooo satisfying to finally beat him and shut him up. One of my all time favourite antagonists (May he never be brought back for like every sequel like Ridley).

THAT SHIT GOT NUTS IN IT #TADC

can u not post not safe for woik 🥺

a sketch of a smartphone with tactile buttons for home/window/back, headphone jack, no AI BS, sim card thingy you can open with your nail, camera that doesn't cover the damn screen, and a 5 inch/127mm screen which is a reasonable size

I wouldn't say I'm massively into phones or anything but I sketched this out of frustration bc why are there no modern phones with these features, it would be so perfect and I'm mad the only ones are old and slow

That would've been something. I missed the first one in theatres but I still reckon Jackass 3D is one of only 3 movies to ever earn its use of 3D cameras. The other 2 being Dredd and Avatar.

It's a tie between one of the great Preston / Wee Man switcheroos (Preston goes into the toilet, Wee Man comes out dressed exactly the same) or this one. Just the noise Pontius makes as he's being launched cracks me up every time.

Henry Rollins got SO into that one, it was great.

Anytime, bro~

Rowan's awesome to work with and he has great range as a musical artist in terms of what styles he can create for. Absolutely hit him up if you need music to punch up your game or stream!

I never wanna ask for help, I'd rather work or provide you with work I've done.

If you wanna help with this and some stupid medical bills, grab some music from me this #BandcampFriday

ppl who still commission their favourite artists even in this era where everyone is broke and genAI is being pushed on us at every opportunity—you are appreciated more than words can express!!!

A screenshot of an email from an ad agency to Evil Hat Marketing: Hey Evil Hat team, Promised this is the last time you’ll hear from me. We are wrapping up generating content on the house. The AI studio is starting to get fully booked with our paying clients, and I have strict orders to stop promoting this come the weekend. I figured Evil Hat might as well get some work out of us at no cost while you can. Want in before we close it up? Best, [redacted] And then our reply: Hi [redacted], We will never use AI for our games or for our marketing. It's toxic to our customer audience and it's an ethical violation of the hard work put in by the human artists we hire to illustrate our books and the human writers who design our games. In short, it's not "free work" it's theft. Feel free to take me off your mailing list. Hope you turn around your business model because frankly, your current approach sucks shit. -Tom

sometimes you have to be clear about your values

Science Stopped Believing in Porn Addiction, You Should, Too Research finds that porn-related problems are predominantly caused by religious conflict. Clinically, this means people need help, but not necessarily with the porn.

Yeah they're finally starting to acknowledge that porn addiction is pushed by the church and really just means "I'm not supposed to look at porn bc it's a sin, but I do it anyway so I must be addicted" But the data shows that mental health struggles come from the guilt, not the porn by itself.

As a Leftist, this is technology I am pretty excited about!

I think more billionaires should keep trying!

The five words every girl wants to hear

"You're gonna turn people away from you if you make such a big deal about being against GenAI all the time."

I guarantee you that the most powerful microscope in existence could not fathom a small enough fuck that I could give.

Fuck Generative AI. 💖
