  daww I can’t help but give more headpats for cute anime girls. *patpatpat*

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s honestly not even the worst way I’ve even seen it used.

  I used to watch some League of Legends (I know, I know) streams from time to time, and there’s a meta where your mid laner, who is supposed to be a strong carry, gives up all their farm to the roaming jungler roll so they become the super-carry.

  In any case this somehow got termed to be the “vegan mid” strategy. Ugh.

  Tired of Google Home not working? This new change will push you one step further into the valley of despair, where a capitalist hellscape leads you to constantly say “Yeah, that seems about right” and to feel a small twang of loss.

  The factory gatcha pull info says there’s a 0.002% chance of pulling “Short Day Factory”, and the pity system has been globally disabled for over 10 years now.

  Better luck next pull!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ecchi anime recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You might want to check out Mother’s Basement on YouTube of you haven’t. He’s got a great series called Hottest Trash Anime which goes through all of the current seasons more baseless series. He goes over their strong points, and potential audience, and it’s all done in a pretty creative and entertaining format.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ecchi anime recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Y’know I was genuinely surprised by it. Like the concept is certainly rather sus, but then it actually turned out to actually be quite wholesome.

  I haven’t read the manga yet, but I suppose I should. I might save it until I go up another grade level or two in my Japanese studies, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ecchi anime recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I find some of the stuff listed here is borderline not ecchi. I might risk some criticism here, but for me ecchi needs to have some aspect of sexuality as a core theme, not just coincidentally have thrown in a bit too much fan service.

  If you want to try something a bit more risqué, then Interspecies Reviewers is definitely one of the better ones. Also, Gushing Over Magical Girls was quite decent as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody’s mentioned this one yet, perhaps because it’s a bit obscure, but Vib-Ribbon (PS1) has such a unique and endearing OSTs. I never played the game, but I heard one of the songs and got totally hooked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pack it up boys. Just one comment, and the threads already over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Woman arrested after travelling with two-year-old in suitcase in New Zealand⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Was she arrested for child endangerment or fare evasion? The article didn’t say. 😏

  Seriously though, good thing she didn’t get hurt. That could’ve gone much much worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are you really doing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re welcome!

  Yes, I think that’s pretty accurate. That’s why usually if a vtuber graduates (leaves their corporation, that is) even though they’ll have a new avatar, (usually the IP is owned the corp) they’ll often still keep most of their fans.

  A few of those even have actual real live victims, unlike video game porn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG’s Freedom To Buy Campaign Gives Away Controversial Games For Free To Protest Censorship⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just getting around to trying it now. Will update with further info.

  Very first impressions:

  Yep, its sexo pokemon snap! If you’re into furry or pokephilia, and enjoy photography, this’ll probably be a fun time. It seems like it is more anthro focused though, not that I’d be a good judge of any of this or anything. >_>;

  Right off the bat, the walking animation is very janky, but otherwise it seems surprisingly polished. The tutorial is a bit info dumpy, but it’s not that overwhelming.

  Just starting actual gameplay now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are you really doing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, I could try! It’s still a bit confusing since it was mostly just entertainment for me until very recently.

  It’s a combination tbh. Obviously a lot of it is acting, and you never know exactly how genuine your oshi really really is, but their personality, tastes, and sense of humour all shine through. It’d be generally pretty tough for it to be a complete facade and for them to still seem genuine.

  Then again, you never know. I’ve heard there were some VTs who did a complete 180 in personality, for example. I think it’d be hard to not notice some signs, but strong feelings can severely cloud judgement, so who knows.

  The character’s design and mannerisms are also pretty important, though. I think a lot of the time the VTs will want to play a character that’s kinda an idealised version of themselves. If they see themselves as cute or cool or sexy, they’ll play up those attributes.

  As for knowing stuff about them, I think it also varies from VT to VT. Some are more willing to share aspects of their personal life than others. The one I fell for is quite open about her life, but I’m someone who highly values honesty and integrity, so I guess that tracks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are you really doing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a secret. I’d rather not publicly out my degeneracy level, dayo ne.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are you really doing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird. I caught feels for a vtuber recently (completely unexpectedly) and now feel suddenly motivated to improve my life. It also feela like I got hit by truck with emotions that have been nonfunctional for several years.

  Parasocial relationships are tough, as they can never be fully reciprocated, and dealing with that feels like it’s going to be a bit stressful. That’s also precisely why I’d avoided them and thought myself immune, but apparently not. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG’s Freedom To Buy Campaign Gives Away Controversial Games For Free To Protest Censorship⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is Sapphire Safari… a furry porn version of pokemon snap??? I’m going to try it for shits and giggles because I adore pokemon snap. Wish me luck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China to offer childcare subsidies in bid to boost birth rate⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not really the issue. They’re going to face a demographic collapse like is happening in SK, JP, and to soon be followed by the west.

  I’m all for some degrowth, but it’s going to be disastrous if not managed properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would be greatly entertained if valve went into payment processing and out-competed these absolute shitshows of companies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like it was on purpose⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Suddenly

  As if this hasn’t been going on for decades.

  My solution is to do the very minimum I can to get by and otherwise enjoy my minimalist life. Fuck consumerism with a 10ft pole. Let it rot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please tell me⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Details shmetails. A teat is a teat. Would you prefer “mammary milk” to be technically correct?

  Fun trivia: Did you know, the only other animals to have 2 thoracic and no other teats, besides anthropoids, are elephants and anteaters?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please tell me⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stealing breast milk from another species is pretty damn weird, so probably that.

  I personally prefer the humped-back interpretation from the mid-90s:

  smithsonianmag.com/…/was-spinosaurus-a-bison-back…

  I can’t quite tell if it was fully omitted, or if it was intended as part of one of the listed theories.

  Would.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is eating up Pennsylvania's power, governor threatens to pull state from the grid — new plants aren't being built fast enough to keep up with demand⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AI has been a well established field of computer science for over 50 years. While LLMs are certainly a part of that field, it’s technically incorrect to conflate the two.

  Just using “LLM” is also a bit over-specific, however, as it’d exclude text-to-image models, and others. “GenAI” is probably the most correct term to use to refer to the transformer-based deep neural networks that have become popular in the last several years.

  That said, language prescriptivism is rarely effective. So while I agree it’s incorrect to call LLMs “AI”, good luck getting laypeople to use the correct technical language from a field they mostly have very limited knowledge of.
