"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it" My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

This made me snort so now you have to see it

Dicking Around

Storytime!

Halloween a few years back my mates and I were dressed up for Halloween and my cat furry roommate (good guy, furries are entertaining folks) was wearing his partial suit out with us. We were in Boston proper and all of us were on a budget at the time, so the only option for a late night drink and dinner open to us was a place called Dick's Last Resort.

If you've never been, the big draw at Dick's is that they're dicks to you. The staff are sarcastic, they throw your menus and straws and shit at you, and they make you hats that say mean stuff.

*image of a white male wearing a crude paper hat that says nobody likes me*

I don't get it either. So anyways, we've got - I'll call him Frank - the cat with us, and Frank's 100% ready to go fuck with Dicks, so we head on in.

The waitress starts doing her bit, but the cat in the room has thrown off her game and she doesn't really know how to handle Frank in Full Cat mode.

He points out the drink he wants without speaking, with a paw, on the menu and she asks for an ID and starts saying 'I swear to god your ID better have a big fuckkin' cat on it or-"

*image of a NEW YORK State drivers license featuring an image of an orange tabby cat with a. Furry in the background with their arms up in excitement *

She threw his licence back at us and walked away speechless. Didn't talk to us the rest of the evening.

Anyways, I dug up this old photo today and thought it deserved to be preserved for posterity. So here you go, the day Frank broke Dicks.

For those unaware, "bean mouths" are a term linked to a term called "CalArts style," which has actually NO connection to CalArts graduates and was coined by former animator and rapist John K. to criticize artists who opted to Disney's style. And NOBODY really knows how they got connected.

For years people have been asking me why I can't "separate the art from the artist" when it comes to Harry Potter, and Princess Weekes perfectly illustrates how intrinsically tied Rowling's fucked-up ideology is to EVERYTHING SHE'S MADE. Highly recommend watching this video!

important life hack for video games

With video game prices rising, AI is a critical tool for developers and gamers alike.

By seeing which games use AI, gamers can save money by not buying those games.

Capitalism yearns to create the "apolitical consumer"; one with no principles, no morals, no red line that they won't cross, no issue too big for them to ignore. We should commend all media that pierces this veil, because the veil is dangerous and lets fascism creep into every facet of our lives.

KEEP CREATING! That’s what they don’t want. Art. Poetry. Songs. Theater. The arts are the most accessible way to reach the people and to vent your own feelings and thoughts on current events. That’s why the arts are ALWAYS the first to get defunded. Please please keep creating! The world needs it! ❤️

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

amongussexgif

...

Instead of being in settings its in the google app. Also, google, not chrome. Icon is a G, not the circle thing. Click on your pfp to open a menu

From there, go Settings > Gemini > Digital Assistants > Switch to Google Assistant. This disables Gemini, google's Al assistant, and switches you back to the old one. We aren't done yet.

Go back to Settings. From there, we go Settings > Google Assistant > scroll to find General > Google Assitant on/off > turn it off

They really tried their best to make it a pain, but you can eventually disable it. Holding the power button on your phone still pulls up a menu and asks you to turn it back on, but this is the least intrusive you can make it.

Applies to all non-apple phones afaik. For sure Samsungs and Pixels but idrk about others

Edit: thank you my friend @/teeth-kid for confirming that this also works on Motorola

One thing that really stuck out for me was the quote at the end about being how being unique makes you feel alone. I think that's what the movie should have ultimately been about. And it's kind of ironic bc nobody seems to share my sentiments and that makes ME feel alone lol.

I saw Elio yesterday, and while it was a beautifully animated movie with some cool characters I felt it was a little... jumbled? Like there were several different plots kind of interspersed throughout the film and they never got the full attention they needed. Does anyone else feel that way?

I can’t really explain it but the lack of color in contemporary movies, the need for realism, ai being pushed as art and people accepting it as art, mainstream movies/stories becoming very on the nose and surface level, and the rise of fascism, are all related
