If you consider every action by MAGAists as the behavior of a cruel, schoolyard bully who will hurt you and then mock you for your inability to defend yourself, everyone of their actions makes sense.
The cruelty is the point.
Yeah, even in the best possible light, they completely lost touch with reality.
Oh, she is going to be livid. Rightfully so, but I still fear for her blood pressure.
It's quite amazing how these people show their asses on LinkedIn and think it makes them look smart, instead of proving that they completely lost touch with reality. It fits the picture that one the very same day they laid of thousands, Microsoft also send out an invitation to hear them pitch genAI at GamesCom. That's corpo brain on late stage capitalism.
I was once a fan of Nina Paley, because of her activism against copyright and even bought some of her merch. Then I found out that she is a capital-letters TERF.
You can find a "TERFy Archive" with all her transphobic writing on her website, she hosts a transphobic podcast with the subtitle "A TERF and a t-slur walk into a podcast studio" which she uses to promote the "autogynephilia" conspiracy theory, among so, so much more transphobia.
Paley would consider this comment of mine to be "censorship". As usual with her type she wants to dish out, but doesn't want to be criticized for it.
Fair point. I remember seeing some tweet or similar with said something in the vein of: "ChatGPT sounds like a middle manager on LinkedIn. No wonder, middle managers think that ChatGPT is intelligent."
Your submission in "Sharks need no Air" was removed for Hello!
I removed this submission. Yes, we love Blahaj around here, but nonetheless Blahaj isn't really specific to Femcel Memes. It'd make more sense over on Trans Memes
Thanks for your understanding!.
I could not agree more in regards to "Haven". It is such a fantastic game in how it depicts the central relationship and I am always disappointed how rare it is to see two loving partners carry a story together.
Description: A four panel comic.
In the first panel is a character with a Rubik's cube for a head. The character attempts to arrange the blue, pink and white tiles of the cube. Caption: "Just because you haven't got it all figured out..."
Second panel: The character has given up arranging the tiles and looks towards the ground. Caption: "...doesn't mean you never will."
Third panel: A hand holds a framed photograph of the second panel. Caption: "Some day you may even look back..."
Fourth panel: The character is neatly dressed, looking at the photo from the third panel. The blue, pink and white tiles are all orderly arranged on their respective sides. Caption: "...and wonder why you were ever worried."
I am relieved.
Yeah, the non-disclosure is most telling IMO. 11bit is an experienced development studio, it is not credible for them to not know about Steam's AI disclosure requirement.
Thus, to me, there are three possible explanations: They either decided to hide the use of genAI because they were aware that disclosing its use would hurt their reputation. Or they decided that it was "no big deal" and were willing to risk gambling with their reputation and their relationship with Valve. Or they will blame this on outsourcing and freelance contractors, which they then failed to supervise and/or instruct properly.
Either option makes them look bad and extremely sloppy at best.
