Trans people get called extremists for saying “hey don’t watch a wizard tv show.” Meanwhile people out here literally calling for legislative bans on our existence are propped up as feminist icons. Really just shows how those who make people uncomfortable or disrupt consumption are vilified.

I think what I resent the most is that all of us, especially the women who worked with him, were a part of his rehabilitation (at least image-wise) without us ever getting to choose if that was something we wanted to participate in. He didn't let us or his audience make a choice. How ironic.

Did you notice that when the woman youtuber was a confirmed plagiarist everyone was happy to end her career forever but when the man youtuber is a confirmed rapist we suddenly get dozens of posts about how "disheartening" it is that people don't believe in restorative justice

it's pretty impressive that the ocarina of time trailer managed to show next to nothing and still make me less confident that it understands the material it's working with

of the two furry games that got release dates announced today, im most interested in the one that is $20, on everything, has cute pixel art animals instead of creepy Unreal 5 ones, and isn't a game that has already existed for 30 years.

side-by-side comparison of Resident Evil: Requiem with and without Nvidia's new AI upscaler DLSS 5. The left image is of protagonist Grace Ashcroft standing on a busy sidewalk, with DLSS off and looking incredibly polished. The right image is the same, but with artificial detail added by DLSS 5. Overall the image looks brighter and less moody (bad for an RE game), but worse yet Grace's face is completely different (looks like Aubrey Plaza which is way off).

oh goodie! the pragmata fanbase has more than proven themselves capable of being trusted with a figurine of a child small enough to fit into a mason jar.
new announcement of an Amiibo figure of Diana from the upcoming Capcom game Pragmata. Diana is a small child with a big poofy jacket and a short skirt.

Drink some water. Go for a walk. Put your phone down. No amount of doom scrolling is going to make things better. If you want to do something, make a plan to protest and call your representatives. Dont run your nervous system ragged on socials rn

ok maybe im getting a tad conspiratorial but im thinking that the ram shortage is probably an intentional aspect of the ai boom; creating a vacuum where people need computing power and must rent it from the five companies that will be able to afford the components for it. shit blows man.

I love Talking Heads, but it's remarkable that Stop Making Sense makes all their studio recordings sound a little worse in comparison. Can't think of another live album that is such a clear upgrade.

democrats: "we need to build a big tent!" the tent they're building:
a big tent at a ku klux klan rally, with a crowd of hooded klanmen outside formed in the shape of a cross. black and white, presumably early 20th century.

my actual favorite thing about the Hades games is that if you head into every fight guns-blazing and die sooner as a result (my strategy), you're rewarded with more story content. more games should consider rewarding me for being bad at video games.

placing parlays that this "film" will: 1) not premier at Cannes 2) flop very hard domestically, despite the budget 3) a story will come out that most of it was fixed in post by cheap outsourced animation labor 4) OpenAI will collapse within a year of release 5) Rob Schneider will be involved
from The Verge: "OpenAI comes for Hollywood with Critterz, an AI-powered animated film"

subheadline: "OpenAI hopes Critterz will convince wary film execs to embrace AI with its low budget and accelerated production schedule."

front photo is of two ai-generated gremlins that seem geared up for a little quest. they look as generically fugly as you'd expect.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

i'm still on android because *broke*, but the moment my phone said "we're switching from Google Assistant to Gemini" i just turned off assistant features entirely. gen-AI is not only bad, it's so much worse than the things it's replacing that i'd often rather have nothing at all than the AI.

it's actually very impressive how Google has started to destroy its decades-long monopoly on internet usage in just a few short years by adding features either no one asked for or they had better solutions already implemented. true ouraboros shit.

We think of the White House as a big mansion, but the point is it's not a palace. It's a house. It's modest, one of the smallest residences for a head of state. The east and west wings are deliberately minimal and unobtrusive. It's not Versailles or Buckingham. It symbolizes civic republicanism.

this is probably deeply ignorant of me, but i never thought about the fact that in the US homeless people can't vote. which, like, i get that voter verification becomes harder when you don't have a permanent residence, but there has to be a solution other than revoking their constitutional rights.
