“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.
I asked what I should use instead of firefox and someone said “floorp” and I legitimately thought it was a bit for like five minutes. tech has gone beyond making the torment nexus real to making poob real.

Thinking about how much better Slay the Spire was because of the extremely funny beta art. imagine if they just prompted a machine to "make card art serious game clumsy", what a boring world that is

The are video games art discussion is pointless because basically none of the people currently in charge of ensuring video games get made think video games are art. No medium has fallen faster into complete corporate meaninglessness.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

this is a little industry trick we like to call "finishing the game"
The Kirby Air Riders development team will soon disband, director Masahiro Sakurai has announced.
With the game considered content complete, Sakurai said the development team would aim for one more balance patch before putting it to rest.

If you've been using Duolingo for Japanese, please switch to Renshuu immediately, you will not regret it and you may actually learn some Japanese.
I keep seeing posts asking if there are any alternatives to Duolingo for Japanese that don't use AI, and yes there are!!!
Also Mango languages might be free through libraries, but they use AI in course creation.
