Hey friends. After having open heart surgery in Dec and another procedure in July, I've been left in 10k+ debt while recovering. During this, we were also laid off from Skullgirls. To try to help dig myself out, I have begun listing things on eBay: ebay.com/usr/mshinzan

I’d say the only bad period was during their shared universe films with the DCAMU. But before then they were all stellar, and even during the period of the DCAMU and after we’ve gotten some really good movies. (The DCAMU is pretty poor as a whole though)

This came out in 2010 so I’d actually hesitate to call it modern

It should not be understated how much clever shit like this actually annihilates morale at places like ICE/CBP.

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.

I love this so much. Funny, sweet, hopeful, and kind of bad-ass.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

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.

I’d been thinking for a while that it seems like a startling number of rappers have died in their mid-40s to mid-50s from natural causes but it didn’t really feel like an epidemic until I saw this list. 😦

I don’t think Astro Bot does no sadly. I think Air Riders has this specific look to it, especially in that one stage with the splitting ocean. Astro Bot leans too much into the fidelity and modern aesthetics of PlayStation to have that feel for me

Roger @rogeeroger.bsky.social · 15h

Not saying he was right to be the way he was but it’s interesting that under his dominance so to say is when we got the best of the best games, meanwhile after X and Y it’s been a toss up of quality

I'm interested to see how z-a handles being in one location the whole game but I admit I'm a little hesitant because most of the reason I haven't been vibing as hard with what they've shown is I just don't like the look of lumiose city. it's too sleek and gray.

only thing I'll say about the leaks is that it's kinda wild that after Legends Arceus everyone begged for Legends Johto and GameFreak was like hmm and made an interesting pitch and then hit the "nahhhh we're good" lmao that region is so cucked

Ok, so I will say this: it's genuinely depressing how the next 5 years of the series has been leaked. I'm excited for the potential of everything but it's not fair to the devs or anyone involved when these projects should have had the chance to be revealed on their own time.

James GHOULizio @theswweet.blackskycomra.de · 1d

Won't say anything specific about the leaks, but if those budgets are anywhere near accurate that has got to be the wildest profit margins of literally anything on earth.
