I envy you tbh

OpenAI signed an agreement with Department of War which is
not very good to say the least

People cancelling chatgpt subscriptions only to switch to something else are driving me mad

We must boycott generative AI entirely. This is the only way.

I'm a new fan btw so I know basically nothing about the FMs out there. I finished the trilogy on expert, so I'm not afraid of complexity.

Are there any other taffers out there on bsky? I'd really love some FM recommendations. Currently playing through the Black Parade and I know there is also Shadows of the Metal Age for Thief II. But other than that — which standalone missions are worth playing?

I swear I didn't graduate from the Order of the Black Worm!
Please don't tell the Arcane University about this incident

A lil fun fact: once I was forced to submerge my entire arm into the bucket full of maggots and I splashed them all over those people because I can
My university was fucking wild for it

Pronounce: she/her
Height: short and furious
Zodiac: that nasty goatfish thing
Smoke: does smoked fish count?
Tattoos: none, but my deceased best friend had a tattoo of my drawing and I think that was rad
Piercings: ears only
Fav color: teal, purple and pink
Fav drink: black tea without sugar

I'm a few centimeters taller, but I guess were both can quality as proud members of a "short and furious" squad

Bsky is mostly chill, at least in my own experience. Just as comfortable as Tumblr nowadays

Posts on English that I get on my Twitter feed are horrendous too, because there are some many posts from blue check mark accounts posting AI slop, bullshit and rage baits. I miss pre-Musk Twitter. It's just not the same anymore.
Everything that man touches turns into shit

Avoiding writing posts in my native language on bsky because I just want to stay on an international side of it

That algorithm sucks, idk. It's almost unbearable to be on that app. It just pushes so many negativity on your feed, idk how people can still find it fun reading all those rage bait posts.

Also my Twitter feed mostly consist of russian speaking users from CIS countries and honestly it's toxic af, literally the same as VK a few years back. So tiresome.

I'm really starting to visit Bluesky on daily basis because Twitter (I'm not calling this shithole X lmao) is just not fun anymore and honestly haven't been in a while

It was absolutely disgusting of him and I do not associate Dante with him anymore. There were other voice actors who played this character and I hope that if DMC 6 ever happens they bring back any of them.

I was so so fucking disappointed with Reuben's tweets during Covid that I had to unsubscribe from him and anyone who agreed with him or tried to make excuses for his despicable opinions

I have a nasty habit of monitoring my former friends' social media just to make sure that they're healthy and safe, because even if they don't want to be friends anymore I still need to make sure that they're okay.
Is that behavior acceptable or do I need to learn how to properly let go of people

Also stop lying that you care about the environment, people who really do just don't use chatgpt

Come on just say the quiet part out loud. It isn't okay for you when it threatens your job, but if that's someone else's job you're totally chill about it.

As my ancestors used to say "either take off your cross pendant or pull up your pants".

Also as a person who is both an artist AND a writer I think that if you are an artist and hate people who use GenAi for images you can't be simultaneously using it for writing. That's just plain hypocrisy.
