On the one hand, I'm a fan of open source software. On the other, it's getting pretty annoying having to look up how to do basic things using the GIMP, especially when the result of the search is "that's not what the software is for" I just wanna resize something.

At first I thought they were reusing Leo-S (don't look it up) parts on the right shoulder, but checking Dalong, it's a new runner. Between that, the clear parts, and clear action base, Bandai spent good money developing this.

PS5 controller compatibility is wild. Either the game has such good support (in 1 out of 100 games) that you get fancy rumble and adaptive triggers, or the device is useless without Steam Input turned on or DS4Windows spoofing it into an Xbox pad.

I'm playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown for the first time in over a decade. This game is too cool! It feels like a boutique, "legacy" campaign board game, right down to the dice rolls to hit. Ran a mission to extract a Triad defector and his stolen alien artifact. Then he joined the away team! Sick!

With some light sanding, maybe a bit of spray can topcoat, the result is probably pretty similar anyway. But I gotta caution against using cheapo spray booths if you ever decide to start using the fancy cancer-fumes chemical paints. Should be fine for acrylic, tho. Also, some pros use nail polish.

LONELY AT THE TOP - I mean, yeah, directly invoking Gang Starr goes in the rotation. But after Underwater and 3 Feet Away, it almost rings hollow. I dunno. I feel like Joey's next album might be more singing if his new fans outnumber/outlisten/outspend his old ones.

I don't have a good way to articulate this. Freddie Gibbs singing? Cool. Roc Marciano singing? I'm wit it. Joey Badass singing? He sounds like he's trying to expand his audience. I feel put off the same way I did by Benny's Everybody Can't Go. Like the structure mainstream albums would follow.

BK's FINEST - The Joey sound. A posse cut with Rome Streetz and CJ Fly over a Statik production. Yes! Shades of Crooklyn Dodgers. UNDERWATER - Good beat. Then the singer starts the intro, ok. Oh, the singer got a verse too, ok. Wait. The singer is transitioning into ra... it was Joey? Excuse me?

SUPAFLEE - The instrumental's main instrument, that starts the song off, sounds awful to me, which cost this album the uninterrupted first listen. HIGHROLLER - It's okay. Below par for the rotation. READY TO LOVE - This is not what I listen to Joey for. What is this? A rapid skip.

I recommend you watch the Gundam Thunderbolt ONAs, especially on Blu-ray, at some point. It's 0079-era but non-canon. It's gritty and very aesthetic-forward. Hand-drawn animation with IMO the best soundtrack of any Gundam show.

There's a certain category of fast food (that one) that I stopped eating at almost entirely as soon as my income got high enough to afford the slightly-less bad alternatives. But I've been broke for a while now. So I eat at these types of places occasionally. It rarely ends well, gastrointestinally

This is the most important, insightful thing you can read about the AI mania full stop. Share it with anyone who might be buying the hype but considers themselves rational. It gets to something really key about AI: it's not "just" a scam: it's an illusion that preys on our urge to fool ourselves.

Thank GOD My Hero Academia is on its final season because Crunchyroll are just showing their ass non-stop and ruining the projects they are hoarding left and right. #Animesky

Crunchy roll announces major staff layoffs just weeks after AI subtitle controversy.

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

I'm beyond excited for this. Fingers crossed there's an arm swinger locomotion option, since you're mostly sprinting around everywhere. PSVR2, Quest 3, and PC would all be great fits, too. Shoutouts to games that playing H3VR trains you for. RE8, RE4R, and now this.

I've been making mix CDs and custom playlists for about 25 years. I think this one is my best yet, even though it isn't quite ordered or cleaned up. I recommend hitting shuffle. #blacksky #hiphopsky

What an insane way to find out that Cuomo is practically certainly on the Epstein list. NYC, y'all know what to do. Those of you that somehow can still afford to be residents there, anyway. Everybody I know or am related to has left for upstate or NJ at a minimum
