“I like FF7 but I wish instead of a JRPG, it was a generic ARPG” said an SE exec at some point, apparently.

Given the number of people who know what a cassette tape is, I always find these jokes about floppies unrealistic. But a shitpost is a shitpost.

We’ve simply evolved our methods, although it’s crazy spending any amount of time on a mainstream social media because it’s remarkable just how many people seem to have no idea you can pirate things. Limewire and Napster were so mainstream, comparatively.

Quiet city montage… lol.

I’m old enough to remember an April Fools Day bit Adult Swim once did where every show just had consistent, random fart sounds including serious anime like Ghost in the Shell. I’m certain this LLM would approve of such a work of (f)art.

We did ours as soon as we had the documents, around mid Feb. Despite how incredibly awful everything is lately, there’s still child tax credits and daycare credits from smarter times. No reason to procrastinate that, especially as we can invest it in a long term fund for the kids.

Win the cyborg over by accident with my overwhelming charisma and together we overthrow the BBEG.

Of a high school of 600 people, they all know that one kid who is dating their AI, just like we knew that one kid who was emotionally attached to his anime body pillow.

It is hopeless…

Because it’s the fucking red coins BEFORE you get the that star so you need some fancy jumps to get it and no matter how hard I try I can’t seem to do it and ugh I’m never gonna get that sweet RA badge-- hopeless.

A little unfair since Chevron is often 50 cents to a dollar more, but it’s still pretty bad. 5.60 a gallon at the cheapest. We still tax our gas though.

Yeah, I always thought that was neat since it’s mostly a happy accident from needing to allow freed slaves citizenship. I much prefer that over some sort of bloodline metric.

Weirdly, nothing so far with my latest swap has needed extra attention, but having to manually mount drives every boot (or adjust the config) might confound a former Windowsian. At least with my distro, anyway.

“Yeah, but the Epstein fiiiiiiiles” followed by death.

Kidding. I’m with you, but more “ah, fuck.”

There’s something rich about this coming from Nippon Ichi’s former head, the company that brought us the artistic masterpieces known as the Disgaea series. Truly visionaries, lol.

(PS I like the games and tbf, they’re… unique).

Lol, I can’t believe you’d say Love Hina since that was the first anime I pirated for a friend on his request and it ended up being the first one I saw that wasn’t like, Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon. It wasn’t great, but the second one I pirated and therefore saw was Chobits, which was.

I guess my childhood isn’t too different from others, although we’ve never had the money to actually buy anime until streaming was a thing. Back then, it was like 30 dollars for a few episodes on dvd l…

My wife’s at a major video game company that, oddly enough, hasn’t gone crazy over AI. Since she’s in localization, she uses DeepL which has some machine learning, but not really an LLM and LLMs aren’t really being pushed on her since it’s a downgrade. From what I can tell, their dev team is also just keeping things human made, although they’re in Japan so that might contribute.

They aren’t saints, they did try to union bust a few years back, but their stance on AI, as well as creativity first mentality and recent pay raise guarantees and whatnot, kinda show they’re paying attention.

It’s kind of wild but Fortnite makes (or made?) way more money than UE royalties, like magnitudes more. UE is a boon to the industry to be sure, but somehow 5% of games’ revenue simply isn’t the same as insane people spending money on stupid skins and dances.

Now is UE was used for 20 games as big as Fortnite, they’d be fine but most AAA companies won’t use UE if they expect a huge haul, with a few exceptions of course.

Fake, since real Minecraft fans very much were not into it. Unless they’re kids, I guess.

Is that why my podium computer on campus restarted randomly during a students presentation?

I will say it would have been a good advertisement for Linux except they’re almost all Mac users… Lol

I feel like they’re just covering their asses because the c-suite wants their AI summaries in emails and shit, but the devs know using it for anything is creative suicide. That, and maybe localization still wants their AI tools, which predate LLMs but probably get lumped in anyway.

Don’t worry, Riolu doesn’t get their weakness to fire until after their evolution! Plus, he’s wearing his protective Focus Sash, so he’ll be fine (assuming he doesn’t get severe oil BRNs)!
