trying to imagine a world where Ontario gave a fuck about the wildly successful games that have been made here

instead we're all mostly just left to our own devices, no sense of TIFF "hollywood north" or whatever weird magical aura west coast US holds for their industry

Even if AI could write a novel what problem has been solved? The problem of knowing what you’re reading was written by another person? Who loves reading novels but hates the part where your mind briefly and mysteriously touched another?

Rieka is a lonely werewolf without a pack.

Jiya is a charming bartender hiding deep pain.

Can they heal each other before the Russian mob's werewolf ruins everything?

Utterly, utterly obscene: millions starving, homeless, hungry and thirsty, without clean water, and this one man has enough money to feed and house them all, but hogs it for himself. Evil doesn’t even begin to cover it.

- Top Left (Hideyoshi) 
- Top Right (Torlash)
- Middle of the image shows seven characters. From left to right: 
1) Kiseki
2) Hasava
3) Issei
4) Seina
5) Nori
6) Himari
7) Yuuto
- Bottom, foreground of the image features a mother (Masuyo) and daughter (Kyoka) pair. Masuyo is holding Kyoka on her hip, and they're both smiling happily at each other. Masuyo has neck-length, black hair, a tan skin, brown eyes, and is wearing a black leather jacket over a white shirt, with black pants. Kyoka has very dark, brown skin, short, messy black hair, and vibrantly red eyes. She's wearing a black hoodie, baggy shorts, and puffy white socks sticking out of her simple sneakers.

Why 'Demon King Daughter?' Because Kyoka Ouno is gifted all the memory and power of the Demon King before she's born! She is Masuyo's daughter /and/ the Demon King. She learns how little Demon King memories help with day to day life XD

Boy am I glad all the mainstream U.S. Jewish groups spent the last two years loudly proclaiming that there was no absolutely no daylight between the actions of the Israeli State and the Jewish people just in time for the entire world to blame the Jews for a global oil crisis.

Western countries backing what the US and Israel are doing in Iran aren’t just going to lose legitimacy in the eyes of their domestic publics, but are shredding any notion a new alliance of middle powers or whatever can defend any semblance of an international order.

Everyone that posits LLMs might be conscious/sentient is pro-LLM use. Which tells you they're either:

1 - lying and don't believe LLMs are thinking, feeling beings

2 - promoting slavery

61 years ago today, a group of 600 peaceful protestors began a 54-mile march from Selma to the steps of the Alabama state capitol in Montgomeryβ€” in response to the police murder of 26-year-old Army veteran Jimmie Lee Jackson during an attempted march in Marion, AL two weeks prior.

Dessin représentant une femme (long cheveux noirs, visage rond, sourcils joints et petite buche rouge, dans un style de khatoon) qui pleure en levant les bras au ciel. Un oiseau de la paix (avec le symbole de la paix sur le dos) vole parmi les bombes qui pleuvent du ciel et les explosions. Il y a écrit "PRAY FOR MY PEOPLE" et "STOP WAR IN IRAN". Le dessin est entièrement en noir, blanc, rouge et vert.

We made a videogame about this!

Atuel is a surrealist documentary videogame about a river that crosses a desert in western Argentina, its history, and how the climate crisis threatens its future.

It's 30 minutes long and completely free!

Back in DayZ the world and systems were so granular that these sudden deaths pushed you to be more meticulous. Even if it was wildly unfair and you might have died anyway it prompted reflection and rewarded care and precision.
