I prefer “fellow human” spoken in a slightly suspicious manner.

There was this audio book thing we used to have when I was in kindergarten. It was about farm animals, and each animal had its own sound effects. Pigs had the sound effect of a man saying the phrase “sloppity sloppity sloppity slop, sloppity sloppity sloppity slop”.

This is now my mantra whenever I see AI slop.

Maybe we should start chanting it en masse at these tech conventions any time AI is being discussed as anything more than a massive waste of resources.

Yeah. It’s definitely “the liberals” responsible for poor math skills.

That. That is quite possibly the best response in this thread. And I’m not even British.

Without even thinking about it, I read that in Joe Pesci’s voice. You should be proud!

That $70 RD may have something to do with that price tag. Salami is expensive these days.

I have noticed a bit of an uptick on Switch, too, but not nearly enough when games are running upwards of $60 at retail. I’m not paying that much for a 100 hr JRPG with a combat system I don’t enjoy. Trails sold me on the combat system alone.

Seriously. I never would have bought Earthion, TWICE, if I hadn’t pirated it and fell in love with it. I firmly believe in financially supporting creators that make things I love. I DON’T believe in taking the risk of paying asking price for a game I may not enjoy in an era when demos are a rarity. As a point of comparison, Trails in the Sky FC has a demo, which I played, and convinced me to buy the full version. Pirating Switch content isn’t worth the time an effort to me, and without the demo, I never would have bought it.

Pretty much same. I came to recognize that my use of masculine pronouns had been just another extension of autistic masking, of creating a socially expected appearance. Internally, gender has never mattered to me. I’m also panromantic demisexual. I don’t have a preference for gender in romantic partners, I just don’t experience myself or others like neurotypicals do.

Looks like the hole they dragged the Brain Bug out of.

Doing this right now. I forgot how much I enjoy long hair. My hair has been short since highschool.

That’s got a great ring to it!

Because the Nazi skinheads did a great job of co-opting the punk title for most people who weren’t actually interested in punk. The news media were very complicit in pushing that specific image to undermine the punk movement to the general public.

This might be the best Trekkified variant of this meme. Love it.
