The one thing I've learned about AI, is that it's all mediocre schlop, and even the best presentation of it is weaker on it's own than as a part of something human made. What it's best at is poo poo that normal people will never care about, unassuming backgrounds, random noise, normal and bump maps.

Stuff that needs to just be good enough to not be bad. No-one's ever said, Go look at Amelia McNormalMap, her Normal Maps revolutionized the world of art.

Oh it's that guy. He used to be a menace in a goon gacha game discord I'm in where he had a big list of characters that he hated mechanically and if anyone new asked if they should invest in them or if someone said "I like X" he would go on a 2 hour tirade on how poo poo they are and call you a maths r-word.

He randomly disappeared one day, turns out someone made fun of him for still playing gachas at 38 or whatever and he just quit cold turkey to preserve his street cred(?).

new fans is probably the most significant part of that statement, because a ton of anime-heads (whatever the term is) were getting super mad at it leading to fluff to have to close the thread multiple times and probe people for being weirdos.

Pretty sure it only got closed once, during the hiatus between cours, and even then it was by the OP and not Flufdaddy.

I also got probed, but that was for calling the most tedious poster in the thread an idiot so I will claim to be justified.

whenever people talk about public access i mostly remember this one story from one of chris gethard's books about this one guy who got banned from the public access studio for threatening the staff. he didn't get banned from the channel, just the studio. once a week, he'd stand on a street corner a legally-obligated number of blocks away and wait for the security guy to swing by and pick up his pre-recorded video for them to air.

I watched a bunch of episodes of some kid in one of the American desert states doing a public access gaming show in the 90s and it ruled. He'd take callers and they'd all just call him a bitch or homo then ask for Mortal Kombat cheat codes while the bored producers hosed with him

the readings don’t. stuff like nitw’s “hole in the center of everything” monologue can be a really cutting and incisive statement on the existential uncertainty of collapsing material circumstances but you tend not to find them outside of works that set out to confront those themes in the first place

I’m talking about attempts to screw on “leftist” analysis to works that obviously didn’t have it in mind, like positing tears of the kingdom is exemplary of a regressive society (source: polygon)

NitW is also helped along because it has literal, direct unambiguously leftist setpieces in it (like how the tooth you find tucked away in your house is from the skull of a boss who tried to gently caress with your miner grandad's union) as opposed to vaguely leftist fluff. Plus the artist/designer is an IRL leftist organizer as opposed to someone who just talks about how much he hates late stage capitalism on Twitter. So when it waxes philosophical, you can draw a direct line to what it has in mind.

I have no idea how anyone looks at Zelda or other AAA games with hundreds of people on them and give them any political meaning beyond thinking "I like this thing, therefore this thing must agree with my politics"

It happened here for a while! Back when satellite TV was first kinda breaking out and people starting having more than five channels available, there were little local ones it was really easy to get on. I never saw anything of interest though, just immensely boring people who should not have been on TV talking about bullshit. Mind you I was a kid, maybe some of them were actually interesting.

I have a fun brand new friend that is sending my fanmail every single negative thing said about me on the internet ever. Don't know who they are, but they have an account here!

The thing is, a lot of the searches will have boba, pearl, or boba pearl, or bobapearl highlighted, so someone is searching each of those words and trying to find every instance of my name used on the forums, and the dedication is kind of nutso.

Here's the latest linked because it's pretty much entirely comprised of slurs: https://i.imgur.com/hOZPE0e.png

Just updating the legends thread so if I go missing, this is probably why lmao.

For the record, I think the saddest thing is, if I go into that thread I get a lot of encouragement, even in the mean place people are giving me props for putting myself out there :kimchi: I'm imagining this person searching the internet for the worst things they can say about me, and the best they can do is the place where people tease each other teased me once in september lmao. Like, it's these, and some archived kiwifarms post, when the site isn't even up anymore??? Real normal brain.

The weirdest thing is thinking woozy is my friend, a person I have never had a single conversation with. I think they think I'm someone else???

There's more concerning ones with names and addresses in them.
