  • Real dude… I was writing a story a while back, and usually when naming characters I just pull one from the noggin that “feels right”, and I fell on “Donnie” for a young delinquent that was meant to bite off more than he can chew picking a fight with real criminals. When I revisited it a bit later in time, I internally cringed and had to pick a different name altogether lol

    Shame because I felt like the name suited him so well that I wound up not continuing the story much after that.





  • Despite me generally agreeing with OP’s point, I’ll give you that.

    One of my biggest pet peeves with AI recently is how I’ve noticed indie game devs on itch.io become addicted to it. Everytime I think I’ve found a cool new game with a unique premise or game mechanic… the summary is AI slop. And if I give them the benefit of the doubt of just being too lazy to write their own summary… surprise, surprise. Every line of dialogue or plot in the game is cringe-worthy AI text and I uninstall it after about ~5 minutes in lol

    So pretty much any dev I catch with an AI summary now is an insta-block on ublock filters and the rest of their catalogue won’t see the light of day.

    It’s so goddamn frustrating that the only genre I can pretty much browse by anymore is No AI. It’s slowly getting to the point where I don’t even bother engaging with anything released within the last 3 years, so I won’t even bother checking out new stuff on the front page anymore. This is how you slowly kill a creative community.











  • I have a friend that’s a “fruitarian”

    I could have sworn that’s exactly how Steve Jobs ended up dying lol (But I’m not a doctor)

    You should really try to inform your friend the dangers of such a severe gap in a biologically-driven omnivore’s diet and the future health consequences. Even a single potato would go a really long way.

    Edit: Nvm, I scrolled past the tl;dr and didn’t see that you’ve attempted to numerous times already
