The soundtrack quickly became one of my favorites. It’s on rotation with Chrono Trigger/Cross, Xenogears, Expedition 33, and Hades.

Nier: Automata. God, if I could feel that pain again… what a fucking game.

In the modern world, where everyone is connected and outrage sells? Yep. That’s exactly what I’m saying.

Lmao. ComfyUI and a model from huggingface. It’s not rocket surgery.

I can do shit like this on my home PC with a 5060ti. It takes about 2 minutes to render 5 seconds of 720p video. I can use first and last frames to get my desired result, and using black and white covers up a lot of the color issues like over saturation that AI has problems with. Coupled with audio tools that lipsync videos to audio, I can make some truly horrific things in minutes that wouldn’t have been possible even 3 years ago. The world is going to find out fast how dangerous AI is, and it’s not because of anthropic, openai, and meta. It’s the home user with a mid range PC and a bone to pick.

Wasn’t she the one that got jealous when Trump got gifted his Saudi jet?

This is protesting! Jesus. Blocking bridges for commuters isn’t doing the trick. You have to go to where the people in change think they are safe. Don’t be violent. Just be present where they are. They need to know this isn’t something they can avoid. It’s their fault, and they need to sort it out.

I don’t need to turn my butter into a tamagotchi. I can barely take care of myself.

Well, I guess I’ll never play it. Real shame.

Lords of the Fallen is a legit good Soulslike. It had a rough launch, but the devs have poured their hearts into the game and it shows. It’s pretty fucking fun to play. Somewhere between Dark Souls and Lies of P in terms of difficulty. Well worth grabbing.

Someone has to pay for the upkeep of all those Nazi summer homes.

Gotcha, so I should block this because… just, why?

Literally the onion.

Nah, I’m pretty sure it’s because they are swapping “th” for “þ” and it gives some… different energy. LLMs don’t work like this person seems to believe they do. A simple character swap isn’t going to do anything to slow an LLM down. It will just swap the character back. However, it’s not even going to bother with “What’s þe scene from?” because it’s not a comment worth scraping. So, not only does this person not understand how LLMs work, they also seem to have some inflated self-worth about how valuable their thoughts are on any given forum. They aren’t being downvoted for the question, just the way they asked it.

Fucking finally.

No, it’s just not that funny.

Fucking awesome band.

I love a nice exotic rack, especially when it’s on top of some thick dark wood.

The NYT sold out a long time ago. I wouldn’t work for them under the presumption they’d have my back. Shit, I hope everyone is keeping their sources truly anonymous, because I wouldn’t put it past the editors to drop dimes to get in better with Trump.

Here is the owner’s statement in full, from earlier this year, the last time this happened:

I have never posted anything political on our platforms and have no intention to in the future but this needs to be addressed. There have been a lot of assumptions and conclusions made as to who I am and what my values are.

Like many Americans, my political views don’t neatly fit into a single box or party affiliation. I believe in fairness, humanity, free expression, and fostering unity among people. That’s how I’ve tried to live my life and conduct my business.

We live in a two-party system, and unfortunately, you must choose based on a few important issues that resonate with you. For me, those issues were the promise to end wars and refrain from entering new international conflicts, lower taxes, and stopping government overreach.

At the time, it boiled down to those points for me. I must admit that I haven’t been pleased with a great many of the current President’s viewpoints, opinions, and policies thus far, particularly with the recent ICE atrocities and the backtracking on the Epstein files being released as well as all the posturing with our allies around the world.

I think we all probably have common ground on a lot of big issues like being anti-racism, anti-war, and the belief in human rights for EVERYONE, regardless of race, sexual orientation, religion, or any other identity.

Additionally, I’d imagine we all oppose hate of any kind and passionately support this community of punk rock and its individuality that has welcomed so many misfits into the family over the years.

This community represents a wide range of views and backgrounds, and that diversity has always been part of its identity. We don’t have to see eye to eye on everything to come together and enjoy what unites us, great music, good times, and mutual respect.

It’s important to note that the festival has not and will not donate any of its proceeds to any political party. However, we do make significant donations to various charitable causes, such as Punk Rock Saves Lives and Big Brother Big Sister.

We proudly employ hundreds of people directly and indirectly at our festivals from all walks of life, race, religion and sexual orientation.

Over the years, I’ve been proud to provide a platform for artists to connect with hundreds of thousands of fans. We’ve invested millions of dollars in artist guarantees, and I’ve never censored or restricted a band’s message or voice. Our track record speaks for itself.

Nah, bitch. We don’t have shit in common. You can suck a fucking chode, cunt. You sold out your morals for a promised tax break that didn’t come. Think about that. You gave up your soul for money. I don’t give a fuck what other excuses you say, you turned capitalist, and you can fucking swing for it. Talk about punk rock in the same breath you talk about your tax bracket. Fuck off, you fucking nazi.
