i just stumbled across a Spideyhood foc WOTH WINTERDAD TOO and the most *delicious* summary
and then i see
actually unwell
it was 55 chapters.....completed......34k words...
the worst part? the 'author' ADMITS. IN THE A/N. THAT GENERATIVE AI IS BAD.
BUT THEY JUST WANTED IT SO THEY PUT IT IN CHATGPT ANYWAYS
"and I thought other people might want it-" then fucking write it. OR MAKE A POST AND INVITE PEOPLE TO WRITE IT.
the art of writing is being attacked by losers who choose the easy way out instead of pulling on their big boy pants and writing themselves
author's writing is STOLEN. AND FED TO AI FOR THESE THINGS.
There are literal JOBS. for scanning and inputting books, articles, journals, art. because generative AI needs an infinite amount of data to function
they 'write' this, right after the uproar over ao3 fics being scalped by ai
Fuck You if you use shitty generative AI to 'write' or 'create' 'art'
"Scalping is ruining collector/toy hobbies for children" and "adult buyers of these items are not the problem" are two statements that can and should coexist
jeez, couldn't even bother to take a new photo before scalping it to high hell could you
While I do want a Steam Controller but opted to wait until I'm in a better financial position to get one, I implore those waiting NOT TO BUY FROM SCALPERS. Put them out of business for their shitty actions.
The Steam Controller will be back in the store. It is not limited edition. There isn't a legit scarcity. They're creating an artificial one that will be remedied sooner rather than later. A lot more will have to be made due to the Steam Machine being launched when it can. This is not a case where scalpers are the only way you can get this hardware. More will come as soon as Valve can. Don't give into FOMO. Just be patient. The controller is a WANT, not a NEED.
Valve seriously fucked up releasing the controllers without limits to keep this from happening. Now that they've acknowledged the situation, I hope they flood the market with the controllers as an apology and leave the scalpers holding the bag at the end of the day.
Oh, and apparently there's a way to report eBay scalpers since scalping is against the TOS? Haven't looked into that but if you do, according to a youtube comment I saw, you can put something like "unfair pricing by wiping out store stock" or something like that.
The Steam Controller is $99. Not $150. Not $200. Not $400 or $600. It's $99 MSRP and they will be back at that price when more are made. There's no legitimate excuse for scalping this controller, nor is there a legitimate excuse to buy from scalpers. I tend to treat those who buy from scalpers who create fake scarcity with the same ire since all they are doing is encouraging this behavior. You're no better than the scalper if you're paying those prices.

i hate this hobby.
A normal haircut
Jamie actually just looking post timeskip space captain Viral here.... Sunny has thoroughly tamed this shrew. No more self-mutilation on Sunny's watch! And yeah, Wolves can't get fleas, or any other blood consuming parasites, because their blood is poison to any non-Wolf organism.
