You think you saw me behind some ferns? You just might have!

It is…I would like a Fediverse video platform, but this one ain’t very cash money.


A reminder that Loops has a TOS that effectively grants them an unlimited license to use your likeness for whatever purpose they desire. Including AI generation. https://loops.video/legal/terms-of-service#7


“Wow, this half developed feature is so interesting, here’s a list of improvements that should be made to make it fun!” are 3/4s of the comments on that thread.

‘Proud’ owner of a 300i, still waiting on that ‘Rework’ from 2014 2018 ???.


That’s a pretty good question. I 💯 agree that it can fall into authoritarian colonial bullshit, and in fact that’s probably what I was thinking of in terms of ‘defining’ vs ‘advancing’. I’ll invoke the case of the ‘Sad Puppies’, a bunch of lame ass white men who were super mad that the Hugos were overwhelmingly going to ‘not white men’ (read: interesting BIPOC voices everyone loves and gaspwomen?!).

I would probably claim the Sad Puppies tried to define culture.

The rest of the attendees advanced it by telling them to fuck right off.


Is defining culture the same as advancing culture?


I’m on Team Crosspost, although duplicates marginally annoy me too. Because of the low content volume and the potentially fractured nature of Lemmy means more people will see it in the event of blocked instances. Although, I hope crosspost combining becomes a thing like [email protected] mentioned.



Will Wright! We need you, now more than ever! We need simulation games! We need llamas! We need a great vision of weird fun you can have! Will Wright is…Will Wright is apparently busy with an AI powered game that looks extremely vaporware. Nooooo…


This is true! But I think the “good” (?) news there is Annapurna Studios is not going anywhere, and they retained all the IP their subsidiary holds. Sucks for the former Annapurna Interactive folks that they can’t bring the IP with them, but c’est la vie.


Terrible news…for Megan Ellison. Can’t wait to see what the inevitable independent studio they’ll form puts out.
