Also I want fanart of every NPC from the episode! Somebody show me Emnity!!

(Minor spoiler ahead I guess?)

But I also scrolled through pages and pages of comments without seeing anyone mention Whitney having Tyranny say "I can be so good" and "I got put in my place and now the basement is flooded" lmfao

Cannot BELIEVE how much that flew under the radar.

Alright I finally watched the first episode of campaign four of Critical Role. I'm usually audio-only but to get a feel for the characters and who is playing them I needed to watch at least their intros.

It was excellent as I expected!

... huh??

I'm not sure I'd say the *story* specifically is what's good about it, but Totally Spies was a lot of fun despite being such a full-on look into the creator's incognito searches

Chris @ary.bsky.social · 8h

Ahh, I see! Thank you! I was purely going off of how close it is to "rouge" 😅

Chris @ary.bsky.social · 9h

Hmm, I think unfortunately this one doesn't survive machine translation haha. Something about the sign—is maybe Roues also a word that can mean red haired people, or...? Google just tells me it's "wheelers" which means nothing to me.

I honestly think luck is a small part of it, you're constantly putting yourself out there and getting to know people. You're doing this!

Honestly. The amount of cool people and opportunities you've manifested this year has been wild

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Happy #PortfolioDay! If you're looking for cute characters, I'm your person! I've worked on everything from indie games to paper goods. I'm available for freelance illustration and product design (my merch is also available for wholesale). ✏️🐰

Portfolio & contact: portfolio.breelundberg.com

Photo of a hand holding up a small risograph print of a cute illustrated pink snail on a lime green background. The snail looks happy with sprouts around it and bubble letters that say "keep going!" above it.

Illustration of a happy looking cute kitty character eating a big piece of candy corn while surrounded by more candy corn. Its colors and markings look like the candy corn itself.

Photo of a pastel square blue zine that says "Lucky Buns, Roll for a Cute Bonus" on the cover with an illustrated D20 and a cute bunny face. Another copy is laying opened showing a "how-to" page and cute black and white art inside.

Black and white drawings of various characters (cute humans, dog, robots, and more) for Little Rocket Lab which appear on sticky notes in the game's journal.
