charismatic megafauna

I read it contemporarily with its release back in the day, and I think the binge approach doesn't help how quick characters are to completely pivot about their moral axis, but god, the whiplash is insane. Plus, like, I was a kid, and didn't have like, a fully formed thematic/moral compass yet

the new season of #invincible prompted me to reread the series to the end, and wow, the comic is so much more of a mixed bag than I remember. For a series that's so preoccupied with the core theme of forgiveness, they do an awful job of having their characters meaningfully atone for their actions

anyway I guess all that to say that everyone should fuck up more and be meaner to each other so I know you're a real person

Part of that no doubt comes from the fact that AI gets stuff wrong, constantly, and whenever you correct it it does the sycophantic apology routine
But it's definitely weird. "Sincere, well written apologies seem inhuman now" is probably a bad sign for like, the trajectory of communication online

An odd observation I've had lately is that that any form of written contrition/apology reeks of LLM influence now. I feel like I've been conditioned over the last few years to read any form of "I'm sorry" in written text and immediately assume it was written by AI

i'm sorry british people i am trying to learn about and understand your culture and be respectful and informed but it's very funny to have a moment that people think is a potential historical sea change moment happen in a place called "gorton and denton"

I love that the entire tech economy is just a never ending cascade of mechanical Turks and guys-behind-curtains now, it really inspires a lot of confidence

The main thing the president doesn't get is that what he's doing is illegal. If we can explain that i think it'll settle this whole ugly business

the further you get from the populated parts of the Earth, the more we work together. the research stations at the poles are the first layer, the ISS is the next, and of course our vital bases on Jupiter and the outer asteroid belt as a first-wave defence against the Zflar incursion

you know the conspiracy about how 5G melts your brain and gives you turbo giga cancer or whatever?

I know that's not literally happening, but given the endemic societal rot as a result of widely available internet access anywhere at any time, it may as fucking well be true

I'm finding Assassin's Creed Odyssey charmingly dumb. Spooky cults and long lost bloodlines, scenery chewing dialogue everywhere- silly fun.

Also a good exercise in not doing everything in an open world, because this would be a thousand hour game if you did so.

getting really frustrated with the fact that pregnant women only exist in media so they can give birth at the most inopportune moment imaginable

Ace pilots, especially in the #ColonialCompact, are given certain permissions for personal expression in their uniforms that their less successful pilot counterparts may not receive. This manifests as an incredible variety of machines, uniforms, and the pilots within them. #mech #pilot #ttrpg

Instead of a song being stuck in my head, today what's stuck in my head is the "fuck ya life. bing-bong!" pigeon video.

Going to start posting some more of my art here, I think. I miss playing around in fantasy settings, and want to encourage myself to actually develop a character art workflow that doesn’t burn me out.

just finished Echopraxia by Peter Watts

don’t wanna spoil anything but by god, the ending was a hard fucking landing

If you enjoyed blindsight you’ll enjoy it. It’s a bit less focused but that works to its favor in driving home the core theme of “wow it sucks having zero agency”

The Rodeo Fleet, a union of independent deep space freight crews, is responsible for the safe transport and processing of asteroids in a sol system where resource extraction on Earth is impossible. The Chavez is their first KM intended for combat- It's smaller than a Gupp, but extremely durable.
