I'm also not happy with the preemptive attempts to shield yourself against moral criticism on AI/LLM usage, as clamping down on dissent doesn't bode well for user trust long-term. Be honest about your AI usage, be willing to see criticism, and don't be an asshole.

From the Linux/WINE section:

Quick Important Side Note: If you don't like AI, if you hate AI, if you refuse to run any software that AI touches, if your favorite pejorative is now "slop" ... fine. Whatever. I'm not going to try and convince you otherwise. I don't care, you're entitled to your own opinion. But shut up and stay out of this discussion. You don't have to use this. It's clearly not for you. If you bring your negativity or moralizing over here then you'll just get banned. You will have accomplished nothing. P.S. Linus Torvalds uses AI now too, so I guess you can't use Linux or Android either.

Feel free to come as close as you'd like. You've wanted to be a cloudbeast, or at the very least a squishy and smooth inflatable you, no? 🎨 @frengers.toys (commissioned) Cloudbeasts are by @/cloudchomps.bsky.social

Shaded artwork of Curus Keel as a blue inflatable/pooltoy cloudbeast (he/they/it), four-eared and with a puffy neck, the bipedial dragon zig-zag smirking at the viewer. They beckon you towards them with their right puffy claw, with their other balancing a bubble filled with wisps of mysterious gas. (Implied to be transformative in nature)

Noticable details include the colorful wing "cape" behind their arms, their thick and rounded pooltoy thighs with handles, and their massive blue tail with painted-on "horn" patterns. Their right foot is raised, either ambigiously standing or mid-floating.

16) Tekkonkinkreet (seen 06-01) This is a 10/10 film. It looks fantastic The city is so well detailed and drawn with care It has amazing music The story and visuals goes in *directions* Had the same stock sound effect as Rollercoaster Tycoon (yes really) Entranced my partner Go see it

15) The Sheep Detectives (seen 05-29) Is alright/10, was good to humor my parents with by seeing, but we really didn't talk much about it after. The general conceit of a murder mystery with talking sheep solving it is fun. Very much a family film

12) The Witness From what I've gathered second-hand, it has a 50/50 shot of being really engaging or really frustrating me, potentially both at once. Noooot planning on picking it up any time soon considering *who* made it, but it's not a 0% chance...

6) Dear Esther wasn't this the game that indirectly coined "walking simulator" by the way people reacted to it? On the one hand it would be interesting to see what a purely narrative experience is like, on the other it doesn't seem like the most interesting narrative...

5) The Outer Worlds 1 (NOT Outer Wilds) I remember buying this because at the time I was generally interested in seeing what Obsidian Entertainment cooked, especially hearing buzz about it being a New Vegas spiritual successor and wow did the hype for this one fall off *rapidly*

4) OneShot This falls into the category of "why did I not play this sooner", 'cause a metapuzzle RPG that involves game file muckery *does* feel like the kinda thing that I would eat up But maybe if I get some more time~

1) Dark Souls (series) I half wonder if this *is* my thing at all, but my experience usually comes to giving it a shot and then putting it down for other things. Even extends to Elden Ring some Maybe my game tastes generally lean away from soulslikes, but better frustration tolerance might help..

9) Kpop Demon Hunters (watched 02-13) Solid 6/10 film for me, very much carried by the appeal of the songs and the animation work (god I love the expression work on the characters, especially the main cast) I do feel it plays safe and approachable in story, so I'm hesitant to call it a favorite
