you'd think that "inhuman thing that isn't a person but speaks like a person and talking to it will slowly drive you mad" would only be found in folktales and fables and so on. but no. chatgpt

chatgpt actually makes me feel better to talk to it than almost any human I've ever known but yeah sure

The existence of a safeword also implies the existence of a dangerword that you can use to instantly turn any sexual event into a combat encounter

''when did we all become so performative'' idk man when the threat of being recorded at any time and posted for milions to see without your knowledge became normalised.

weird take about fiction: sometimes, actions that would be abusive in real life, hit different in a story. and sometimes i see people react very very strongly to those actions, and i totally get it, because like, that can be extremely triggering and ymmv on whether its handled well or not, but it always makes me a bit. hm.

like, i think the most obvious one is slapping/hitting. in real life, there is basically no situation where that is acceptable, unless you're actively defending yourself/someone else. but fiction is inherently larger than life, its about how it feels, subjectively, over what actually happens, literally. sometimes a character who has never before been violent will hit someone, and it's intended as like, an indicator of how fucked up everything is. that shit is going down. or, a character will trash a room, throwing things and destroying everything in their path. and then its never mentioned again, everything just continues as if they HADNT destroyed their own and other people's property in a frankly terrifying display, because it was just a cathartic moment to represent the storm of emotions the person was feeling. and when i see people like 'this character is an abuser, the story needs to address this,' i think maybe its actually okay for fictional characters to do shitty things and not have it framed as shitty, by the story itself or even on any sort of meta level, with the intended audience reaction. sometimes the point is just to resonate with your emotions, not to dissect the literal sequence of events.

like obviously ive been on the 'you can portray whatever you want in fiction, its all a pretend game' train forever. but i think the important thing to me here is that, you can also defend bad things in fiction. not just 'they did everything wrong and i love that,' but even 'they were 100% justified when they did [thing that would be extremely bad irl].' cause its like, ok, they did do that, but like it was the only way to tell the story well. dont worry about it.

#yes #they aren't real people #they're figures representing a narrative and the lens through which we're told a narrative #it's not what are the characters DOING it's what is the narrative SAYING

I remember one time I got INSANELY high off of edibles while playing Among Us, and it quickly became apparent to the other players online. I forget how honestly but literally anything "sus" I did was ignored by everyone because I was so fucking high. I tested this theory by standing in front of a body and the person that actually reported it didn't even mention me. The funniest part was when I was trying to do wires, I kept fucking up over and over again, so I was just standing in front of wires for actual minutes trying to figure it out. A small crowd of players gathered around me to watch and would get mad every time someone reported a body or emergency meeting because "she's never going to get her tasks done if you keep interrupting them." I don't think anyone cared about winning at that point, they just wanted to see the high crew mate succeed in her tasks.

People were less depressed decades ago bc everything was just prettier like the average 70s car was a work of art sure the serial killers were gonna get you but at least life was sexy before your untimely demise. And there was disco and real oakmoss in perfume need I say more. We have nothing left

the new court photos of luigi mangione absolutely grinning ear to ear in court Right after evidence was released that he wasn't properly read his Miranda rights and all the evidence had a high chance to be completely dismissed from the case is fucking hilarious. that is the face of a man who KNOWS he's walking home free

"walk free" after a year of being harrassed, locked up, targeted, blasted in headlines...

I hope he gets a massive payout to make up for having this hang over him for the rest of his life.

Not saying this as like a lofty or mocking thing, but re the Larian AI bullshit : Clair Obscur's developers literally got caught with ""''placeholder"""" AI slop in game once it shipped, and they won Game of the Year. Another beloved independent studio "sticking it to the triple AAA studios and showing them how REAL artists craft games". AI in game development is firmly here and inescapable

Don't put companies or corporations on pedestals. They're not your friend, and they don't have "art" written on a beautiful shrine out the back that they all bow to. Assume that every game was developed with the use of AI/LLM/ML in some capacity from here out unless the developers strictly disavow it, and even then, be sceptical

In the meantime, make art. Make it beautiful, make it bad. Make it for yourself, make it for your friends. Make the world more beautiful in the way only you can

that being said I'm not actually always opposed to conflict free fluff I am just opposed to the characters having their claws filed down for it. you can stick them in a coffee shop au it should just still feel like you sat the two worst most insane people on earth in a starbucks

my dream for tumblr is that we all relearn the phrase "it's not for me" and we remember that this is different from "it should not exist."

healthcare should not have a weight limit.

like it doesn’t matter if a person is so fat they’re immobile & have infections in their skin folds & need assistance with everything from hygiene to cooking to cleaning etc. they should still get good medical care.

the fattest person you could possibly imagine still deserves medical care. it also doesn’t matter why they’re fat, even if that person got fat because all they did was eat and eat without ever exercising, they still deserve medical care.
