P2: patty grabs marcie by the shoulders and says
"Marcie! We only have one option, we have to practice with each other! Kiss me!" Marcie says "of course, sir"

Not my project, but as I don't think the team have a post up here yet: It looks like the Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 3 patch is out! It's available over on their page for it, alongside some details and words from some team members: snsc3translation.github.io (images also taken from their site)

A screenshot of dialogue from the linked patch.

A screenshot of a battle using the patch.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

There's something perverse about this article's framing asking us to sympathize with the billionaires who, we're being shown, are actively trying to hide their money overseas to avoid having to contribute to the economy that made them wealthy.

the thing about the "you're out of touch if you haven't heard this song" discourse is that radio has been dead for well over a decade. it's extremely normal to listen to a lot of music but still never hear the songs at the top of the charts.

Chris this is plainly fucked up whether or not it's Gamechops related. If you wanted to show your kids the magic of music as a collaborative, communicative artistic process, you HAD connections with cats all over the world, but you went and paid the environment-polluting data-stealing plagerism bot.

The attitude of simply playing everything available to you, regardless of how it was produced or whether it’s even accurate to the real experience, is driving us up the fucking wall. Mindless, uncritical consumption is how we get Palmer Luckey releasing Game Boys built with murder drone parts.

All of the broader things that we're losing thanks to AI—from being able to trust others to cheap GPUs—are a much bigger issue but what really gets to me personally is just losing respect for people I used to like. Ah it turns out that a shiny toy and flattery overrides your moral compass. Okay.

'Good Morning, Fred!' #art #illustration #painting #surreal 🎨

A painting of a beautiful sunrise. You're out for a walk on the gently rolling hills, enjoing the air. You look up to see an enormous one-eyed creature looming above, smoke trailing from its unsettling skin. It's eye is a dark liquid abyss, gazing at you. It's claw-like hand grips a hill as large as your house. There is no mouth. In your head, you hear, "Good morning, Fred!"
You nod back, like you do every morning.
"Good morning, Carl."

The painting is in muted pastel tones.

So this game called "Dverghold" came across my Steam homepage. Interesting retro vibes, apparently collabing with a dungeon synth artist for the OST. The art was kinda tickling my AI-dar though, so I scrolled down to look for any disclaimers.

‼️ Weeks before midterms, Texas election officials have discovered that an unknown number of voter registration applications havent been processed due to an error by the DPS. The Texas Association of County Elected Officials say number could be "tens of thousands" - much of them in urban areas.

Error means unknown number of Texas voter registrations haven’t been processed yet

It’s unknown how many prospective voters have been affected.

TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1:
A woman and a man sit on a low stone wall in a park. The woman is upset; the man listens.

WOMAN: And now the Democrat in the race is backing some anti-trans laws! I’m not sure I can vote for that.

MAN (thinking): Uh-oh. Democrats need every vote. How can I convince her to vote for the Democrat anyway?

Panel 2:
The woman and man walk through the park, the woman ahead of him.

WOMAN: Of course, the Republican is even worse. But if Democrats turn against trans people… I’m so frightened.

MAN (thinking): I’ve got to be empathetic and persuasive.

Panel 3:
Close-up of the man, looking thoughtful with his hand on his chin.

WOMAN (off-panel): Look at what happened to the UK — they’ve now got two anti-trans parties. If we let that happen here, trans rights are dead.

MAN (thinking): Okay, I think I know how to reassure her and get her vote.

Panel 4:
The man is suddenly furious, leaning toward the startled woman and pointing at her.

MAN: You’re a Trump supporting moron and you deserve to die!

CHICKEN FAT WATCH
PANEL 1:
A good dog with a halo peers out a window. A hand sticks out of a hole in a tree holding a sign that says SEND CANDY.

PANEL 2:
Groucho peeks from behind some bushes. A poster nailed to a tree reads "Background gag to come and it'll be so funny!" A bad rabbit (we know it's bad because it's smoking) sits beside a bad worm (also smoking). A bottle lying in the grass is labeled "BARRY BEER" and has a disturbed-looking drawing of Barry. A mouse holds a knife to a cat; the cat raises its front paws in surrender.

PANEL 4:
A giant mouse (?) in a shirt and tie sits on the wall reading a newspaper, called "Daily Blah Blah," whose headline says "Literate Rodent Escapes Lab."
