Newgrounds has a very helpful guide for detecting AI audio over at www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... for anyone interested in catching AI-generated music. Don't rely on any service that uses AI for detection, that's just using slop to find slop and you'll get false positives/missed catches.

Please share this as widely as possible. ICE kidnapped a 7th grader in Everett, Massachusetts and sent him to Virginia. Help bring him home now!

Feels relevant to share this in the quotes

Thorn is sus too...honestly even after absorbing this a couple of times I genuinely am baffled what is even happening anymore. All of these weirdos are in on it.

I am very tired of this, but a quick review.

In America, it is legal for you to own your bullshit laser, no matter how it got into the county.

How you use your bullshit laser matters. Most jurisdictions escalate to felony for lighting up any law enforcement. Doing to them in the sky is ++Felony.

This is such an astoundingly bad idea that I kinda think it’s a false flag or an op of some sort

Merits aside, it is insanely easy to be caught if you do this and the punishment for doing this is much more severe than you’d guess.

I can’t fathom how she was allowed to stay in her daughter’s home for over 24 hours.

Listening to the news, & the VPD are playing some insane politics with how they’re releasing details about a stabbing attack that happened Fri morning

Need to find the energy to expand on this, but the attack itself sucks & is horrid for victims - AND how they’re releasing info on number of victims

GUESS WHO'S BACK

BACK AGAIN

DOC'S BACK

TELL A FRIEND

That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

building a better first person shooter part 3: enemy mine

So! First, we talked about a specific subgenre of first person shooter, loosely starting with Unreal and Half-Life and dying off around…

I have two creeds with Broken CRT, 1) I will never subject anyone to anything I am not willing to do myself, or haven't done myself before. And 2) Just because I've done it before, doesn't mean it's correct and I shouldn't try to make their experience better or find a more efficient solution.
