I've been so tempted to go back to writing again lately, but my burnout career wise has made the idea daunting. That being said you'd catch me dead before I tried to use AI as a "tool" to get writing written. I make it myself or I don't make it at all.

Ghostbusters. My dad thought it was a good idea to show a 4 year old. Had I not grown up around dogs the demon ghost hounds ckukd have ruined them for me. Even without that they gave me nightmares for months, and I refused to watch it again until my mid 20s. Then laughed through it because adult.

All I can really say about the Cornell discourse is I somehow escaped the rape culture mentality growing up. Quite possibly because of my being a bit of a social outcast as a kid. And bluntly? I am fucking glad. All the pain of being lonely was worth it if it meant I'm not like these rape-apologists

unfortunately I'm going to need a lot of help this month, I really didn't want to do this gofund.me/26e8ee09b

there is no easy way of doing this, I never honestly thought I even had to but terrible circumstances have been hitting us hard here and this needs immediate attention. I'm currently facing a difficult unexpected change in my life. I have to find a new place to live before November 1st, and at the moment I have no place to go. I'm hoping some family will help me figure things out soon, but unfortunately most of them are pretty much telling me good luck on my own.

I'm more worried about what will happen with my mom and our cats, as she's been struggling for the past couple of days processing this news. I've been so focused on working on myself lately with taking online classes to improve my abilities and education but I don't want it to be for naught. I know I haven't been streaming more for those reasons but I'm trying to make time, however with preparing to leave this might make it impossible though I will try my best. Trying to pack up nearly two decades worth of memories is a struggle, and I wouldn't wish a situation like this on my worst enemy.

Right now you guys are basically like my family and I wanted to let you know what has been going on, and this whole thing is fresh news so I'm still putting things together on my own. I don't know what to do currently for raising funds to support but I have made a GoFundMe for the time being. I still really appreciate the previous support for my late cat from a few years back and I know this is a hard ask to help me, but I will also appreciate any support given to me now whether you can donate or share.

I don't expect the current goal to hit but anything will further help me get what I might need. I'm sorry I can't really offer much in return like incentives. Things are still being set in motion so I don't exactly have a destination yet, which is what I'm working on right now. I'm leaving this here for those who want to help and share.

Welp. I am now completely locked out of the career path I've been sustaining my will to get through the work week with. From "I want you to be one of my senior resources" to having no way to even get on the team in 6 months. Looking elsewhere terrifies the fuck out of me but now there's no choice.

The original Super Mario Land for GameBoy. Was a brutally hard game to give a toddler but laid the groundwork for my love of platformers and introduced me to the concept of overcoming challenge as being worth the struggle.

It's weird to me to not be prepping to get into the new Fire Emblem on day 1, but it being in the same world as 3H and seemingly leaning into that game's designs has me hesitant until I see reactions to it. I don't need giga story in a FE game, I need interesting tactical gameplay, and 3H...didn't.

When people say "Trans rights are Human rights" this is what they mean. I am not trans, I have no plans to use any trans rights myself. But I believe with every fiber of my being that trans people deserve the right to do what they need to do to live happy, fulfilling lives...because I want that too.

I've been playing through Galar for the first time this weekend, and my opinions can be summed up as: if not for the atrocious performance literally everywhere, I think Scarlet/Violet would have a very positive legacy with Sw/Sh as their predecessor. So many "oh gen 9 made this better" moments.

I am well known among my irl friends for being super picky about shows. My most common response to inquiries about a series is "I haven't seen it." It's extremely easy to NOT watch something even if the zeitgeist thinks it's the Big New Thing. Never saw an ep of GoT and I survived just fine.

I understand USPS has intentionally been crippled to lower public trust and male it easier to privatize it for profit, but that really doesn't make it easier seeing another package disappear into the bowels of a distribution center and hoping it reappears before a week is out.

I should have taken a screenshot, but I had a Youtube survey asking me what problems with the home page I've had lately. The first one was "too many videos from my subscriptions." Shows their bass-ackward thinking. There's a reason I use the subscriptions page 99% of the time Youtube...

One way I can tell I'm getting older is things like Gamescom don't have much to get excited about for me anymore. Established series I like or stuff from favorite developers? Sure. But it's getting rarer and rarer to have a brand new game really get me going. Even harder if it's AAA

Increasing discomfort tolerance has been the biggest thing I've learned from therapy for my GAD. Learning to not listen to that voice to check if I turned the oven off, or locked the door, or not looking up anxiety triggers. It sucks for 15 min and then I'm fine, and next time the urge is less.

Twice now in a period of no Internet I've opted to play Total War Warhammer 3 and been told the security validation had expired and it needed to connect to the Internet to be sure I was still the legal owner of my purchased "copy." It's insane that anti-piracy hurts genuine players most.

It's not "hated" as much as "no one knows or cares about it" but Tales of Maj'Eyal is my most unusual love. It's a full on roguelike in content and length, dozens of class/race combos. It's a ton of fun and brutal in equal measure, and I wish it had more popularity. 1.3k hours and counting for me.

The more I ponder what Mary said here, I think it is VERY important for those who don't like this EVEN IF YOU DON'T STREAM and want to send a message to Amazon on where the Twitch community falls in the genAI discussion to go in their settings and turn this off. The metrics are what speaks to them.

The Last of Us. The first one. The game could not decide what genre it wanted to be and shifted between them at random. Am I going to be punished by careless ammo use or is it a shoot-em-up? Is it stealth or action? I gave up at the L4D tank boss fight in the diner, just was not having fun.

What a brain dead take. I can name multiple active male authors, and I can't say I've ever rejected a book because of the author's gender. Reading things from new authors is great and expands my worldview, and delving into subgenres I haven't looked at before keeps reading interesting

It's not something we could see, but I'd be very curious what the perception of Fire Emblem would be if the Smash scene hadn't gotten so derisive of it. Seems like the "easy" option is to hate it because of the Smash discourse.

I'm still trying to adopt this mindset. I didn't party my way through my 20s, and enjoy quiet nights more than most things, but even so when I turned 30 a few years back I got so many "life is over" 'jokes' that I'm still fixing that brain worm multiple years later.

This is fucking terrifying

Separate research supports the concern. Anat Perry, a Helen Putnam Fellow at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute and associate professor of psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, co-authored a paper in Science examining how sycophantic AI responses erode users’ ability to calibrate their own judgment. The paper found that when AI systems consistently affirm a user’s position, the user’s capacity for independent evaluation degrades over time.

Joanna Stern, NBC’s chief technology analyst and author of “I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything,” has documented the creep of AI dependency in daily life. Her reporting has shown how users begin with low-stakes queries, such as what to cook for dinner or what to wear, and gradually escalate to consequential decisions about careers, finances, and relationships. The trajectory from convenience to reliance is difficult to reverse once established.

I have to say, I’ve got a lot of trepidation about Fortunes Weave copying Three House’s downtime. The two hours of chores before the next fight is a huge reason I didn’t do all the TH routes (that and the identical first half). Engage’s Somniel was a good balance, in and out in a half hour.
