Thought I'd do a quick post about what (re)posts to expect from me:
- video games, mainly older ones
- reverse engineering, programming
- computers, mostly retro-related
- general anime, manga and vtubers
- "cute anime girls(/boys/others; mostly girls)"
- real life rambles, occasional politics

OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits
The issue has been a major battleground in discovery. OpenAI could be on the hook for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars if it was aware it was infringing on copyrighted material.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Mario and Luigi's level-up stat gains are bizarrely based on what level Bowser is currently at. If he is at a "good" level, they will be several times more powerful. The game does not tell you which levels are good and which are bad.

On the heels of Crunchyroll taking away subtitle typesetting with a converter script, Amazon is doing AI dubs now. Maybe we are fucked.
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Alright, I’m gonna put out a call, since searches have come up blank: if anyone has a complete driver package for the MSI Mega 651 (or similar models), please, PLEASE archive it. Or send it to me and I’ll do it. If someone knows where one is, please let me know.

Random thought of the day: I love it when Gigi sings Clarity as the last song in her unarchived karaoke streams.
Didn't even know the song before I think Fauna sang it at some point, but it's now a favorite for me & the expected ending to Gigi's karaoke.
She's both, the insanity *and* the clarity.

Here's a note I sent to our members about what we did with their money, and why we expect the Onion to outgrow the Washington Post.
We keep doing weird, hard shit — taunting ICE, yelling at Congress for not taunting ICE, buying bad websites — when nobody else does.
Our members keep getting papers.

In case Crunchyroll paying its VAs peanuts for theatrical releases didn't make it obvious, the amount that companies would like to be paying people is zero dollars.

The thing about CrunchyRoll’s enshittification is that normally I’m a big proponent of supporting official channels but if the money from subscriptions isn’t being used to pay talent and labour and the quality suffers as a result, then morally what’s the purpose of supporting those official means?

Microsoft's head of AI doesn't understand why people don't like AI, and I don't understand why he doesn't understand because it's pretty obvious
Is it really "mindblowing" that people are skeptical of software that consistently doesn't do the things we're told it can do?

Stick definitely feels different from official, but shouldn't be hard to adapt to. Not that I've played with a fully working official controller in decades, anyway...
