It's hard to believe, but Itagaki-san...my senior from university and my rival as a creator has passed away.
The last message I ever received from him was,
"Let's go drinking. Let's make some noise soon!"
To think that he's gone at just 58 years old...
Yes, everyone dies eventually ...that's inevitable.
But you... isn't it a bit too soon?
Didn't you say you were going to defeat me someday?
Didn't you come to my wedding, wearing your usual black leather jacket and sunglasses, and call me your comrade-in-arms?
Didn't you tell me to come to you whenever 1 was in trouble?

Hello everyone! As you may know, our friend at @infinitokens.com was recently injured during Magic Con Atlanta. This injury has created some difficulties that may result in a loss of revenue. To support our friend, I have partnered with some others to bring you #NotAFundraiser p1/?

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Got to Room 46 in Blue Prince. Got distracted by other games after. But it’s still installed. I’ll play it again and see some of those late game puzzles. I know I will. Trust me.

There should be expiration dates on a video game once you stop playing it, pretending you might come back. You won't. C'mon. Now, what's in your fridge?

New from 404 Media: landlords are demanding potential tenants hand over employer login credentials so a tool can verify their income. I was sent screenshot of the tool, Argyle, downloading much more data than necessary to approve the renter. Opt-out means no housing

Landlords Demand Tenants’ Workplace Logins to Scrape Their Paystubs

Screenshots shared with 404 Media show tenant screening services ApproveShield and Argyle taking much more data than they need. “Opt-out means no housing.”
