Having grown up in Wales, I can testify that if you are actually worried about your culture and history being under threat, the thing to do is write poetry and songs, perform plays, tell stories and organise festivals, not just sit around whining.

Yeah, Cold War anti-Communist overcorrection really went too far. The standard media depiction of Nicholas II is of a poor hapless idiot in the wrong place at the wrong time. And, I mean, he *was* a hapless idiot. But he was a monstrous hapless idiot.

I need to remind everyone, especially after their presentation today. Level-5 has been very openly using Generative AI in their game development and are proud of it. This includes their newly announced titles such as New World of Steam, Yo-Kai Watch 2 and Curious Village Remake.

I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda

Looking at my software peers in 2026 I see fatigued faces, I see frustration, and I see a lot of people looking for a way out of an industry that seems poised on the brink of collapse. LLMs are being pushed on us at every turn, most people seem at best frustrated by them, and ultimately they seem to appeal most to people who see the production of software as a purely mechanical means to an end. They are antithetical, however, to the idea of software as a craft, or something requiring both initial and ongoing care. As an expression of the soul.

Many won't care, but when I was making this animation I was also being harassed by an OPENAI shill trying to jam my WIPS into SORA to "fix" them. Spite was a huge motivator in making me finish it, then I laughed when SORA was shut down the same week. May Katzenberg's garbage meet the same fate

I mean, Epic Games said outright that they’re fully embracing genAI and are using it to replace real artists, voice actors, etc. in Fortnite because people keep supporting them anyway and they’ll only feel emboldened to go further if we keep playing the game. But sure, go make Sora hit the griddy.

Somebody should ask Mamdani if his preferred Digimon ship was Tai x Sora or Matt x Sora. Would legit cause more political fallout then anything else he has done or said up to this point

In fact, the NJO directly states the idea that he was doing it to prepare for the Vong was a load of shit excuse used by bitter Imperials to justify themselves. Zahn did want to make it canon but Lucasfilm flat out told him no.

A Magic fan comic, with the following panels:

Panel 1: Vraska asks Jace, "did you finish your Civ City thing?" Jace says, "had to start over."
Panel 2: Vraska says, "but you've been playing for, like, three weeks."
Panel 3: Jace (stressed) says, "had to start over."
Panel 4: Vraska says, "Why? Did you lose?" Jace says, "No." Vraska says, "So why, then?" Jace says, "France built Big Ben."
Panel 5: Vraska says, "So?" Jace (maniacal) says, "HAD TO START OVER."

It's never too late to stop using AI. It doesn't matter what you're using it for, however much you're relying on it, you can stop. There's nothing it does that can't be replaced by other, better methods. You can always learn new skills, it's never too late.

If you like that then I highly recommend the Kotor comics. It’s what you just described to a tee. One of the best Star Wars series and characters ever, and it doesn’t require any knowledge of the games. Tel Rea is very Zayne Carrick coded

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”
