Hey all, I'm on lexapro now so maybe I'll actually feel like posting here.
My name is Simon. I'm 32 and I like video games and improv comedy (listening to, not performing). I'm interested in programming and computer science but I'm far from an expert.
Feel free to follow me if you like!

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

"they will immediately begin to plot against Tom Nook" There are literal instructions in this guy's code telling them to do this!! It's kinda irresponsible to frame this as some emergent behavior that came from "giving the villagers a brain". LLMs are not brains!

An LLM breathed new life into 'Animal Crossing' and made the villagers rise up against their landlord.

In the blurring of memory that comes with time, it will fall on historians to point out that the deployment of the military to cities, the disappearances of student activists and immigrants, and the federal takeovers of policing all *preceeded*, not followed, the death of a demagogue.

In Super Mario Odyssey, kicking things is Mario's highest priority, overriding all other actions. If a kickable object, such as a football, is thrown at Mario while he is asleep, he will momentarily wake up just to kick it before instantly going back to sleep.

Fear had spread throughout Hogwarts. A new student was arriving today, a fierce, sullen boy named Graham Terrorist. He furiously insists that female whales are dolphins, and nobody dares disagree. "I've lost everything.. Just because I speak the truth that all cats are girls and all dogs are boys."

piracy is a morally correct choice in a world where prices increase in inverse relativity to job prospects. you deserve access to culture no matter what side of the poverty line you're on. buy a used video game console and jailbreak it, learn to torrent, install soulseek. art is for everyone

Feels like "payment processor Stripe admits to being an anti LGBTQ hate group" should be an actual headline somewhere.
and to be clear, i was very clear in asking "can i use stripe for purchases of LGBT content" and both times, different operators have told me that Stripe does not support such transactions
theyre not even playing the "oh our brand doesnt discriminate!" song and dance

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.
"What service is Microsoft providing?"
Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

Once again, there is an ACLU petition specifically made to stop Mastercard from unlawfully policing adult content. It’s getting pretty grim for us out there. Please sign and/or spread the word.

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

tangentially to the discussions earlier this week about whether "fun" is a necessary design goal in a game, I feel like there are certain questions you can ask a player that only carry weight if they invoke a threat with genuine meaning behind it.

This game is the main way I've coped with not getting the new Mario Kart. Just an absurd amount of content and the racing feels great!
Also while I'm shouting out ABSURDLY MASSIVE and WILDLY AMBITIOUS fangames that came out last year, Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers remains one of my favourite kart racers ever.
