SmoochyPit OP ,

Here’s my best shot at explaining. Unlike my grandma, you’ll know more about video game and internet culture already :)

The character is Alyx from Half-Life 2. “Source Filmmaker” is an app that lets you pose and animate characters from Valve games and is frequently used for meme videos. It was likely used to pose Alyx’s face this way.

Here is a picture of this meme that I saw before this one (I think it’s the original for the format).

This was most a meme from a few years ago, around the time when air fryers were becoming more popular and squid game had recently released.

The meme pokes fun at the “elitist” attitude many people with air fryers had, as they swore by using them for everything. A key trait is the smirk expression the person in the picture has.

SmoochyPit OP ,

That one would definitely break grandparents.

Also I wish I had a girlfriend like the second from the right (right above Garfield).

What ui?

SmoochyPit OP ,

I definitely did not know this and I definitely do not have any of those images saved on my phone. ;)

Utah, USA checks out 😏

Context:

Façade is an artificial intelligence-based interactive story created in 2005 by Michael Mateas and Andrew Stern.

Façade

The engine does have some quirks, however; for example, saying the word "melon" at any time will result in the player being kicked out immediately, due to the slang term referring to a woman’s breast, despite other meanings not used in a vulgar way.

I’m not sure how or why he would’ve come across that data, but as far as competing companies go…

There definitely weren’t any widespread virus outbreaks in December 2021 and 2022 which affect the ability to smell, that’s for sure! /s

Kidding aside, maybe covid was just a really complex form of corporate sabotage between candle companies 🤔

SmoochyPit ,

The reviews probably correspond with covid outbreaks.

    A lot of teams behind emulation, game modding and FOSS software have their fair share of controversy. I think it comes with the territory of having public communities and a dev structure where strangers can often get involved and contribute. I don’t really blame developers for wanting compensation for their work, but sounds like they went about it in a poor way. Also the TOTK situation was a very bad decision and likely sealed their fate.

    Still, IP Protection laws in the United States serve exclusively corporate interests. I don't celebrate this; it is actively harming the rights of consumers. Corporations constantly steal from consumers, profiting off of our data and standing on the backs of workers.

    And piracy is a service issue. If you don’t have fair prices for games and methods of access for people to play the way they want to, you will have piracy. Also for people who can’t afford the prices, piracy will happen.

    I don’t anticipate it, most consumers don’t take the time to be critical or try alternatives. :(

    SmoochyPit ,

    Yo those examples are wild

    SmoochyPit ,

    The watermarks, y’all! That’s how we know and that’s why it’s bad.

    Hyprland hyprland!!

    Have fun, I can’t go back now ;)

    It seems mostly unfounded— internet says she supported some problematic people previously, that’s the extent of it. Her cartoons are pretty good about representation, I’d be surprised if she was transphobic. I had previously only heard of controversy about kinky art ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    SmoochyPit ,

    Great book. Very dystopian.

    This has cultural significance beyond ai generated shitposting at least.

    I agree, it’s nice to ask somebody about their boundaries, and it can really make them feel more comfortable.

    However, I do consider it the other person’s responsibility to establish the boundaries and uphold them; if I call them something they dislike, I’d hope they’d feel comfortable enough to tell me (in a kind way). That’s the kind of friendship I’d want anyways. And if I purposefully ignore that request or argue it, I think it’s very fair for that person to be more stern in communicating their boundary. In this case, “I don’t care that you use it as gender-neutral, I don’t want to be called ‘dude’.”

    Good friends/people would respect your wishes, though. It’s your identity, at the end of the day.

    I didn’t know that! (AM4 user here, blissfully ignorant of the newer chipsets and their changes, for the sake of my wallet, mostly)

    SmoochyPit ,

    I hate it when this happens while I’m driving 😩

    Tbh I don’t really understand why one would buy burger buns from AliExpress/Temu/Wish anyway. But I imagine I’m not the target consumer for that one.

    Thigh highs do keep your legs so warm tho 😩

    SmoochyPit ,

    I learned edging on my front lawn personally.

    SmoochyPit ,

    I’m in favor of both.

    Moldy posting can be fun in sarcastic contexts, but I’m not opposed to a full ban since lots of moldy posts makes the sub overall moldy, too.

    Gen ai is plagiarism and discourages creativity.

    Reddit moment

    My bigger concern is the normalization of and exposure to those ideas and concepts (sexualization of children). That’s also why I dislike loli/shota media, despite it being fictional.

    That said, I still think it’s a much better alternative to CSAM and especially to actually harming a child for those who have those desires due to trauma or mental illness. Though I’m not sure if easy, open access is entirely safe, either.
