Gosh dang it Zeelo, not every fox with a stick stuck in their tail is a Braixen! Some of us just have big tai--
Oh, come on!! How am I going to fit into my jeans with all this fur??
Wonderful comm by Maru featuring Zeelo and myself!
Gosh darnit Jak, I wanna be in the holiday spirit but this is ridiculous! Not the reindeer thing, that happens like every year at this point, the spilling of my coffee thing!
Thank you Jak for the christmas comic!!
Also featuring cameos from CalexTheNeko and Zeelo
I asked Sierra what all this nanite stuff was about, and she decided to give me a first-hand demonstration.
So--- uh... when do I turn back?

I probably shouldn't have ordered a discount vampire costume from that weird website I got in an ad while browsing the net, but it looked to be in good quality, and a 'musk deer jakalope' would be fun to tease my buddy Jak with. Unfortunately, the Accursed part of Accursed Costumes Inc was literal, but fortunately, I'll probably win the costume contest?
Probably should have looked closer at the Return Policy too, oh well!
I've played around with it for personal amusement, but the output is straight up garbage for my purposes. I'd never use it for work. Anyone entering proprietary company information into it should get a verbal shakedown by their company's information security officer, because anything you input automatically joins their training database, and you're exposing your company to liability when, not if, OpenAI suffers another data breach.
I found this random juice box at the supermarket the other day, weird brand but it offered to put some "Yip! in my Step".
I thought the marketing was odd, but now that I'm a fluffy kobold, I kinda understand the allure. Yip!

A poorly timed visit through a malfunctioning 'Ultrasafe Transporter' leaves our blood elf friend with a lot more fur than he left with. Downside: It's going to cost a fortune to re-tailor those clothes. Upside: Dolly and Dot will instantly be his best friends.

Paramount dumping $500 million a year into Yellowstone and 1923 but they cut the two Emmy winning Trek shows that cost a literal fraction of the price.
Everyone who cares about their instance and the fediverse as a whole needs to defederate and block their instances as soon as they pop up.
Because it, as a massive problem instance for the alt-right to congregate, was allowed to build up and do whatever it wanted unfettered, once they did action it it was far too late. They immediately moved offsite to thedonald(dot)win (which was r/thedonald 1:1), and continued their actions there. It allowed them to conglomerate, coordinate, and show each other that there was enough of them to try and pull off heinous shit.
Jan 6th literally was planned and executed on thedonald, which only got to the critical mass it did because reddit refused to handle it.
There's literally a post in their front page about criticism with Disco S4 that's incredibly constructive.
The issue was never about criticism. The issue was lazy, nonconstructive criticism.
The site is being astroturfed by bots as well. So many FirstWordSecondWordBunchaNumbers comments that are all exactly the same trying to pin this on the mods.
Reddit has been caught astroturfing their site before, multiple times. It's just not been reported on because it usually doesn't happen in English, or happened when the site was small and young.
There are entire alternate language versions of big subreddits filled with nothing but reposts of popular old posts run through a translator. Comments section and all.
SubredditSimulator was fun as an experiment but it's clear they'll artificially prop their engagement and I really hope advertisers catch on. If you're a journalist in tech reading this, you've got a hell of a story to break about a top ten website fluffing up its stats for an illicit IPO grab.
The 90-9-1 rule of internet communities applies though. If you're unfamiliar:
90% of people lurk, 9% interact, and 1% create content. Reddit has an additional 0.1% snuck in there of people who moderate.
If you're in that smaller echelon of users who interact or submit/create content, you're more than likely a user who these api changes affect. So the 90% doesn't really matter in the long run if you have no content, and the content that does come in is poorly moderated or not modded at all.
This kills the reddit.
Take your upvote and go.
LOL That would be me bringing them into the federation LMAO
The major Star Trek subs all have. Started their own Lemmy instance (startrek.website) and have their private message directing folks over.
Be careful when you see the air shimmering before a strange meadow, else you might breach the veil and cross through to lands no humans were meant to tread. It's okay though, those places have means of easily making you fit in, as I'm finding out here.
Man, I liked that hoodie too.
Collab between myself and Jak the Jackalope! He did the character art, while I did the effects, BG, and rendering!
Go check him out!
It's really wild that they straight up nuked CS:GO for this and it both performs worse on higher end machines (reports of stuttering when ragdolls activate or shaders load in are rampant) AND it's missing the casual war games modes like Arms Race.
