*falls back asleep*

brain: just really quick q, what if you were fired, got a new job, and your new boss hates you because, for completely coincidental reasons, it looked like you were slacking off in front of him and also your coworkers are not helping you and it feels like you're trapped in a terrible work culture of toxicity?

me: WILL. YOU. STOP.

do you think cats and dogs look at humans and think "My scrawny scrungly bungly" or "What an absolute unit" while they cuddle us and stuff.

@rujasu ive severely limited my chocolate intake to only fair trade because of it, but even fair trade items can still have second hand slave sourcing or other loopholes incorporated. Same for quite a lot of food and raw materials, unfortunately.

@ucblockhead @runarcn @Missrdevine @DJGummikuh @Gargron Tree brushes for 2D and procedurally generated environments already exist, and the brushes are easy to make and use. this is not really a problem artists have. But it is a problem to make a "tool" which obfuscates artist attribution and runs on exploitative mechanical turk labor, and that is the primary thing we have a problem with. if someone made a non-exploitative tree-generator then it can join the sea other ones

Apparently the UK is trying to implement AI age verification to access porn sites where an AI is analyzing your webcam photo to ensure you're not a kid. I give it 24 hours before lots of baby-faced adults and the parents of mature-looking 16 year olds complain because there is no way in hell that's gonna work.

on one hand, very jelly of my ffxiv character being able to sit in an aesthetically relaxing fantasy home sipping tea and eating fantasy biscuits on a rainy evening

on the other, maybe he wishes he could lay down in some dingy bedroom eating spicy chips and boba like i do

@jamie_blumberg i was thinking since it's translated from Japanese that maybe the localization team has no power to change the coding in their favor so they're just awkwardly working around it. they also have lazy translations like this guy using the japanese definitions of "fruit" and "vegetable" that is incorrect for english definitions (both culinary and botanical categories don't define fruits/vegetables this way)

There's a problem where the game censors the word "ass," even embedded in other words like "class."

solution: update includes getting rid of the word "class" in all instances.

i mean... okay. there's no chatting in this game so why is the censorship there? is it from Nintendo? The game? Presumably other games can bypass this, right? right????

the extent to which this game continues to flail around like a fish out of water is actually humorous. like im not even mad, just wondering if the game started out okay and then hit some kind of horrible management issue halfway through or what. like i see the potential in it, but they could have just not released it in this state
