My hopes are certainly up, given the recent growth of Linux users (myself included ☺️)

It’s close, but the hue is just red enough for my book. I won’t argue with anyone calling it blonde though. The official box art (both JP and NTSC) shows her slightly more orange than the sprite too.

Historically, the USSR would broadcast a recording of the ballet Swan Lake (on loop I think?) when their leader died, and it was also broadcast during the failed coup in 1991. The lyrics in the song that the teenager played, assuming the above translation is correct, are a not-so-subtle call for a certain kind of event…

I fucking love “let the swans dance”

I scrolled pretty far and didn’t see a single mention of Marle from Chrono Trigger (or I’m blind). Needles to say, she was mine. I’ve always had a thing for redheads 😊

Dooby, Saba, Mint, Doki, and Nimi.

My brain turned off for a second and I thought you were listing Linux distros

I am completely floored to learn that that website is not only still up, but going strong! I used to frequent it in middle school in the early aughts when I was obsessed with CGI and messed around in Bryce, and later, Terragen. The art on that site filled me so much inspiration it’s unreal!

I remember hearing about two Sims-likes that were gaining traction, then one turned out to be ai-filled dogshit. I don’t remember what either one was called though. Are you aware of any Sims-likes that are genuinely good, single player only, and not ai trash?

For now, these features support English only, making premium AI more accessible and flexible for everyone.

They can’t be serious, right?

You’re right, huge brain fart… I still wish they would all leave us alone forever, analogy or not

It’s been a while since I read it, and now I’m ashamed because it’s one of my favorite books 😂

I do wish the ultra wealthy would just become morlocks and go underground forever.

Larry Tesler, inventor of the cut, copy, and paste commands, dies at 74

a bunch of ppl with STIs

Hey man, don’t bash the WRX! It’s a cool car 😉

But yeah, blocking ads is the only way to watch YT. I swore off twitch once uBO stopped working there.

Sounds like King Gizzard lyrics

Agreed, Group B was really special. Love the RS 200, but I’m waaaay too tall for it. The Audi Quattro would be nice as well. I love its turbo blowoff sound 😍

Lancia 037, preferably with the Martini livery. I am a man doomed to dream, for this will never happen.

The good (horrible) thing about deepfakes is that pretty much anyone can produce them.

Disclaimer: I am also vehemently against AI-generated garbage, but it is a curious double-standard that the conservatives embrace, which could be easily leveraged against them by many, many pissed off people 🤔

Hey fellow hunter!

It’s been a while for me but I should hop back on to Ephinea to scratch the old itch

I never implied that therapy is a shameful pursuit. And yeah, people have the right to do any legal activity in their private life, but—to take your m&ms analogy a step further—if you knew a guy was shoving a glass jar up his ass, don’t you think we should try to help him find safer ways of seeking pleasure, especially now that we’re armed with the knowledge that another guy posted his gruesome experience doing the same thing years ago?

My point is that if I was unknowingly on a slippery slope I would hope people would feel a sense of humanly duty to intervene. Or at the very least have a conversation about it.
