- Comment on xkcd #3221: Landscape Features 1 day ago:
Tried looking it up, it’s so new that nobody who knows has made a post about it yet. Slow day at work so I’ll try and crack the case via wikipedia or whatever
- Comment on feeling extra happy today🫶 2 days ago:
Yeah you’re probably right. I was just looking right above the highest point of the cat’s back where there’s a missing dot. In one image there’s four that form a square, in the other the bottom right dot is missing
Zooming in now tho it looks like the image with the darker cat is heavily compressed, so that particular dot probably just got lost in the process

Different details on the back wall too. Very strange. Possibly at some point someone ran it through an AI filter to get it to look like their cat?
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 days ago:
So, two things,
which you can call AI if you want
This is from their official blog post, emphasis mine:
DLSS 5 is the GPT moment for graphics — blending hand-crafted rendering with generative AI to deliver a dramatic leap in visual realism while preserving the control artists need for creative expression
So, Nvidia themselves are the ones calling it AI
Second thing,
DLSS 5 is NOT replacing or altering the original graphical assets in the game with generated ones
I think they low key shot themselves in the foot with this particular comparison. The AI screenshot is actually from a frame (or however many frames) later in the scene. If you look closely you can see her mouth has actually opened slightly, and she appears to be in the process of rotating her head.
The end result is her lips are unquestionably larger in the AI image. Like if you bring the comparison slider directly to the middle, the bottom of her lip is lower while the top is higher. It has a pretty profound effect on the overall image.
Combine that with the hair highlights and makeup being so much more pronounced and the whole comparison is waaaay too similar to the “anti-feminism” filter thing that went viral in recent memory
- Comment on What the fuck is going on with Iran and what will happen next? 1 week ago:
Well, my assumption is that someday soon, all the people of the world will take a step back and realize that the endless cycle of war is ultimately meaningless; that the cruelty and suffering can end, and we can finally step forward into an era of compassion for one another
- Comment on What the fuck is going on with Iran and what will happen next? 1 week ago:
Hiii so basically they fired everyone in the administration who said “Iran will curb stomp the US for many reasons, so like, don’t start a war with them” and then decided to start a war with them
One of the many reasons is that Iran preeeeety much has unilateral control over this extremely interesting geographic feature called “The Straight of Hormuz” which has been one of the most important strategic chokepoints in the world for literally thousands of years. Right at the moment the big thing it’s choking is some crazy number like 20% of the entire oil and natural gas supply for the entire planet earth.
So naturally the first thing that is already happening is gas prices skyrocketing. Of note: the way they’re controlling the straight is with missiles. So we’re also seeing extreme amounts of environmental destruction from the tankers that have exploded
What’s gonna happen long term is anyone’s guess
- Comment on Viral anti-masturbation app exposed sensitive user data 1 week ago:
Well, that depends, are they also charging you a ludicrous sum of money each month? It would make me feel a lot more confident sharing my intimate details if they also required my credit card. The only thing that could set my mind more at ease would be extensive biometrics
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 1 week ago:
They’ve been “cracking down on adblockers” for over a decade
- Comment on At 25, Wikipedia faces a double threat: the rise of AI and the decline of local media— Human visitors declined in 2025, while AI crawlers are on the rise 1 week ago:
Oh wow, yeah that sounds like some crazy mod abuse. Nothing beats volunteer contributors when it comes to drama haha
- Comment on At 25, Wikipedia faces a double threat: the rise of AI and the decline of local media— Human visitors declined in 2025, while AI crawlers are on the rise 1 week ago:
Oh interesting, may I ask how specialized those sources were? The first scenario that comes to mind is that perhaps they were known to be less than reputable, which could lead to a ban
- Comment on At 25, Wikipedia faces a double threat: the rise of AI and the decline of local media— Human visitors declined in 2025, while AI crawlers are on the rise 1 week ago:
In that situation it would be a kindness for you to take the specialized sources you’ve found and add them to articles, to save the next person a little trouble
- Comment on Even ‘microwave safe’ plastic containers can release microplastics into meals, new study warns 2 weeks ago:
Haven’t had a microwave in about ten years now. There’s never been a situation where I’ve missed it

- Comment on Ads used to be different 💔 3 weeks ago:
Oof, this is a little too intense. Could we get a version where a relatively thin red line is striking through the word “kill”?
- Comment on i have a very high libido and my shitposts reflect that, sorry 3 weeks ago:
Nah don’t apologize, your posts slap harder than his balls in my face
- Comment on Humans' behavior about LLMs is the same as animals with a mirror: they believe there is "another" in there. It's just their reflexion 4 weeks ago:
Except it’s not their reflection, it’s a string of phrases presented to you based partly on the commonality of similar phrases appearing next to one another in the training data, and partly on mysterious black box modifications! Fun!

- Comment on Pretty platformer sequel Planet of Lana II gets a pretty good Steam demo tomorrow, ahead of its surprise March release 5 weeks ago:
Oh lovely! I liked the first game a lot. Similar to INSIDE but with more of a nature theme
- Comment on As player numbers fall, Highguard makes the actually-quite-good 5v5 mode permanent 1 month ago:
Which specific point do we disagree on? It seems you have acknowledged the necessity of new games, and even provided specific examples. So the matter is settled, yes?
- Comment on As player numbers fall, Highguard makes the actually-quite-good 5v5 mode permanent 1 month ago:
I’m not saying we don’t need the odd new DeltaRune or Blue Prince
Okay great, so you agree with me 100%, thank you for clarifying.
Regarding “New Title” addicts who consider anything released more than one day ago to be valueless, I agree that that is nonsensical. I’m confused about why you’re bringing it to my attention, however
- Comment on As player numbers fall, Highguard makes the actually-quite-good 5v5 mode permanent 1 month ago:
Of course it does. Art is the medium through which we process and communicate our most complicated emotions. As the world continues to change, more and more art will have the power to affect us positively

I’m grossed/weirded out by yet another micro transaction riddled “live service” masquerading as an indie passion project. They even did a disgusting little media tour citing how they want their particular web of sub-nested premium currencies to be particular ethical, and not charge more $20 for their awful cosmetics.
The world needs more good games. The world does not need more soulless cash grabs
- Comment on smart 2 months ago:
Yeah solving it without following any method probably actually requires you to be a genius or something lol
I love the established speedcubing strategies tho, it basically changes it from being a puzzle you’re trying to solve into being similar to a rogue-like video game where you get a new “map” each time. Totally different skillset but also super rewarding in its own way

Trying to figure what exactly is going on, cuz there are older posts about it, but only the web version? Is it just that the local app has been updated?

But the fucking LLM button.

wow thanks for advising me to pick better battles, yes I’ll check my corner upon gender before selecting my next opponent
Make sure to drink some water before you go to bed tonight, okay?

You drunk or something guy? After two days of being online constantly you decide to finally dig this back up to make some “I’m so over it” announcement and insult me for two paragraphs?
What exactly do you want out of this interaction, me to say “wow thanks for not blocking me, yes I totally believe you when you say you are mature and unaffected one”?
And since you asked so politely, no, I’m not a man. Nice guess though, want to try again?
