Is it blood libel when they call themselves vampires?

Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including:

"Efficiency in Image and Material Generation
With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes."

Something to keep an eye on.

A promotional image from Mihoyo for "AI Job Openings" that explains "in the world of Honkai we have always believed that AI can create infinite possibilities"

Examples of 2D artwork and 3D models that demonstrate how the AI would allow them to see how models would appear when translated from one to the other

“Withholding vote as a form of organizing”

…Withholding presidential votes might be. But I’ve yet to see anyone unironically claim that not voting in local or union elections is good.

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

Actually let me clarify this.

I can’t account for random people who were mean to Takanashi, and I don’t support any threats/harassment towards him.

I just think none of the VAs who called him weren’t unnecessarily rude in their criticism, yet they were sent death threats.

I’m not a Taylor Swift fan by any means, I’ve only listened to one of the songs in the new album and even I don’t think it was that special.

Certainly not enough to justify its awful modernization model

Jacob is not a good person, has defended not good shit, knew perfectly well there was somebody else already in the role hoping to hold out for their role to come back, and he took it in that time. He doesn't need you to jump in front of a bullet for him.

I'm not even Union, motherfucker.

Oh and he wasn’t harassed btw.

He announced his role as “a passing of the role” and a bunch of VAs gave him mild criticism over it. Most only talked to him under his tweet.

His actions were that of a scab. Whether or not he knew is immaterial.

I’ve seen a lot of people say that Jacob Takanashi didn’t know about the Genshin VA strike. But do we actually know that?

I’m aware that another VA stated that he didn’t know. I just find it odd that Jacob never came out and confirmed it himself (afaik at least, I’m not on Twitter)

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Even recording someone in public sounds like a huge invasion of privacy. Wild that someone would disagree with that.

Someone’s gotta be pretty desperate for attention to drag random people they dislike into a convo

Despite being a huge Minecraft fan, I wasn’t thrilled about it being added to Crossworlds.

But I was genuinely impressed with how cool the Minecraft course is. They can stay.

If the season pass DLC was up to me, I keep Minecraft, Pac-Man and Mega Man, while bringing in three Sega franchises.

Read this story months ago during my hyperfixation on KOF since I’m a new fan, and I STILL think about this passage. It’s really good King was spittin here

I think SNK should let the legacy characters take breaks from KOF more often
