random encounters exist because the combat is fun you are supposed to enjoy it, if you dont enjoy it you should be playing a different video game, i dont understand how this conversation keeps happening

It's funny that for years now people have been saying that using generative AI very obviously deskills you, and people kept going no no you're wrong you Luddite And now all the genAI CEO's keep coming out in public to announce they forgot how to read and do math and can't remember their address etc

I saw the Resident Evil movie, but nobody else was in the theater, so really I was Alone in the Dark.

Every so often, someone will comment on one of my videos with something to the effect of "I don't get it, this is just a bunch of your opinions," and I have to say that I am truly honored to be the one to introduce them to the concept of a review.

People need to start having more problems with authority. If a computer ever presumed to tell me what to do I would simply not listen to it. "You have to press the button or I will be sad" Then be sad you sack of bits, why is the RAM I bought 18 months ago $500 now?

oh your art is messy and full of mistakes? it doesn't mirror properly? the proportions are weird because you grew up on a mix of anime and 3D platformers? you drew on the wrong layer and now the highlights are weird? that rules, dude, show me more; a horrible computer could never make that

If a generative AI CEO is telling you something, take it with a grain of salt the size of an iceberg. So if they want regulation now, it is more likely something to do with finances than an immediate existential threat. These dipshits do not care about existential threats other than going bankrupt.

A week ago at Dragoncon I met Richard Garriott at a panel about his new Ultima game. Long story short he wants to use AI. He already has for concept art and ChatGPT generated fantasy language. I wrote an account with the hope that this could spread to the right people. Please pass this along.

I don't really know why this season of Strange New Worlds is all episodes with a weird gimmick, but I do appreciate when that gimmick is "being a good episode of Star Trek."

Got a new thing up on my MMF page! Check out this cool zappy crystal thing! I wanted a memorable place of power for my AoS games, so now you can all have it too for a mere five United States dollars, or half that because the summer sale's still going on. Woo! www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-pr...

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.

In a time of videogames never shutting up, finding something that's such a dedicated throwback to Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 was great. Lords of the Fallen 2023 really delivered and I hope I can help get a couple more eyes on it.

Been a while, but I recently finished up another squad of 10 Bloodreavers for my Khorne army! Ready to rock, roll, reave, and die to get me blood tithe points so my other units can do cool stuff. #minipainting #aos #ageofsigmar #nerdlings
Ten Bloodreaver miniatures from Age of Sigmar. They're classic barbarian dudes with big muscles and bigger axes, with patchwork armor in patina'd red and brass. They're standing on fresh snow and their axes aren't metal but some kind of magical ice.

I guess a PSA for newer creators, if you get what seems to be a legit offer, you are totally ok to go to the agency’s real site, and email them directly in a new email “hey i just got an offer from you? Is this real?” And they will answer yes or no. They are just as pissed by the scams, I imagine!

Today's spacewalk seems like it's going perfectly fine, everything's exactly where it should be.
A view from today's (2026-08-18) NASA spacewalk to replace a failed space-to-ground antenna. We're looking from an astronaut's helmet camera into a stretch of stark white metal and golden tubing, a controlled chaos of wondrous human progress that is the International Space Station hanging in orbit. To the bottom left is a wedge of the Earth, showing crystal blue ocean and whirls of clouds that look tiny from above but stretch for miles and miles in the truth on the surface. Far off in the distance, the dual towers, one in white stone and one in gray, stand across from each other on the shard of an asteroid that creates a wobbly figure-8 path between them, just like they definitely, totally, for sure always have. To really put yourself in the mood, fire up the track 'Foregone Destruction' by Michiel van den Bos.

As someone who still really hopes that FF9 remake leak is real, and who has generally enjoyed the FF7 remakes, I don't want 9 to be like that! Update the visuals a bit, give certain characters the little bit of expansion they need, help the pacing in the back half, add the cut dungeons, boom.

Annihilation is probably only about halfway recognizable as events from the book it adapts, but manages to hit perfectly on major themes from across the entire Southern Reach trilogy. Meanwhile, Watchmen *looks* almost identical to the comic but misses almost all of the points.

I'm just saying: if you described this room to your D&D party, you could throw out whatever other encounters you had planned for the session. They're spending all night investigating Area 27.) Pink Brick Square Floor Hole in Wall with Panel.
A basement room with blue walls. In the middle of the wall is a large brick wall painted pink. To one side the brick has a round hole in it filled with brown insulation. In front of the wall is a square area in the carpet that is tan brick. To the left of the pink brick section is a blue panel which sticks out from the wall. The place most likely had a fireplace in it at one time but now there's just enough emptiness that the whole thing looks vaguely ominous.
