I use chatgpt to make questions for me when my teachers refuse to give me anything to practice on before final exams. Even then, I’d take literally anything they’d give over whatever AI can generate

I’m out of the loop. What’d they do?

If a story driven series just gets an okay review from a big reviewer you know something’s gone wrong

Tf2 is the best war-themed hat simulator out there

For me, it’s mainly “why tf is my old ass laptop suddenly chugging harder than a 40yo chain smoker?”

I take a mug of electrolytes instead. It does wonders for my morning energy levels

Why is she fisting a velociraptor

Americans, is everything alright over there?

The people in the post are literally doing the exact thing you were admonishing. It’s very hypocritical to say this behaviour is “pretty different”

The above is a link to a post in the stardew valley subreddit, which was laudered as one of the most accepting and chill communities on Reddit

The post was made before the great “fuck u/Spez” debacle, so before every decent individual left

In it, I compare an anime version mod that changes a “MILF”'s portrait (their words, not mine)

In it, I’m lambasted as being called a “pedo” and “liking 15yo girls”

Yes, actual pedophilia is bad, but I’d argue people who witch hunt drawings, which aren’t hurting anybody, have way too much collateral like the above to even be considered a good thing to uphold. They ultimately achieve nothing other than patting themselves on the back for screeching at an innocent individual

So yes, I understand why the people in the screenshot acted the way they did. Because this post is what happens when the numbers skew the other way

I agree that this behaviour really is mind numbing, but going to any instance and insulting the fanbase will get a similar response

(btw I hate gacha)

Yeah, but the slop usually isn’t due to a greedy overhead who hasn’t even worked on the game demanding more money from fans

I don’t like lolis, but even I know the difference between a drawing and real life

Conceptualisation [Trivial: Success] - That “horse” is currently drinking tea. It’s closer to a cryptid, if anything

Authority [Medium: Success] - Of course, you already knew that, and you’re going to make this known

Hand-Eye Cordination [Easy: Success] - You reach for your phone and type…

Grey, female, cartoonish with that weird bob round kind of look that comes with bushy brown hair that’s slightly longer than shoulder length, slightly larger than a ping pong ball, wooden square/rectangle, no.

I see a lot of people saying that this is an accessibility thing, while also allowing you to not miss anything important

But a well designed, uncluttered environment can do both of these things while giving you a more immersive experience

But we can’t do that, because we’re in an endless chase to get the most realistic graphics, and how else are we going to show that off than overly detailing each pixel of stationary on a worker’s desk?

I also see a lot of people saying “just don’t use the feature if you don’t like it”

There’s a famous quote I like. “Given the opportunity, players will optimise the fun out of a game”. And you can bet your ass I do that. In any game with this “scan” feature, I’ll be tapping that like a relapsing porn addict, looking for any new quest npcs, missed collectables or just to see if I’m on the right path. I have a similar issue with minimaps, as they have a comparable effect on gameplay

That would be very helpful 🥴

I’m currently writing a small literature review on tgf-b and SMAD signalling in cancer for uni rn

And I’m really confused why this one paper’s talking about how miR-520h induces the tgf-b/smad7 pathway but also binds to and suppresses smad7

Like why on earth is it activating the tgf-b/smad7 pathway, a pathway that stops stuff like the epithelial mesenchynal transition, if it’s just going to bind to smad7 anyway???

Worst thing is, I can’t find any other papers on why this actually happens

I swear I’m just dumb at times ;-;

Why do studios seem to insist on sticking “SSD required” on their AAA games?

That’s not getting into the clusterfuck that’s the pricing and denuvo
