◇ Julien, can you hear the falcon's cry?

I fell in love with Critical Role Camapign 4. This piece is my way to pay tribute to it, and to my two favorite characyers, Sir Julien Davinos and Lady Aranessa Royce.

32 hours of work, and I loved each moment!

i find it so interesting how people act like "critically examining a piece of media" is the opposite of "enjoying that piece of media." rip to you but i actually find it really enjoyable and compelling to dissect and think through the art i engage with

Every time you have GenAI make you an anime waifu with three titties and a dumptruck ass a family doesn't get to have a drink or bathe.

Every time you ask Copilot to write you a PowerShell script to stroke your boss' ego, a city experiences a brownout.

Every time you chat with your AI "girlfriend" a farmer doesn't get to water their animals.

Using these tools actively hurts you and your community, while at the same time enriching some shitheel who would happily step on your neck to make an additional dollar. Don't use them. Actively remove them from devices you own. Disable them whenever possible. Go out of your way to avoid them. It's honestly not hard. You've been using the internet just fine without GenAI hallucinating at you.

If you find Google's AI Overview more irritating than helpful, here's now to turn it off in Chrome.

If you use Google for search, do yourself a favor and fix it so the AI summaries don't appear at the top.

Tumblr is like our elderly dog and when she makes an especially scary cough we apparently think "oh god it's the big one"
