drive me insane

you see we were under influence of severe sleep deprivation…

As is tradition.

Yeah, reading the article paints a more complex story than I had been reading on here since his death. The police had come out to their house “four dozen times” before, barbequing in the living room on the day of the house fire, allegedly showing up at his neighbor’s house with a crossbow before the police removed it from the home.

It’s a tragic situation, regardless of whatever details ultimately come out, but I think it’s probably best to let the investigation and courts sort out this mess.

The moment I see myself in an ad, I’m giving up on technology and joining the Amish.

Damn it!

It’s awesome that you found the artist, but I’m sure the caption is just trying to be humorous. Seems clear that they weren’t trying to look human to me.

Yours is troubling

Wtf, this should be a warning on travel advisories.

They’re still cities, but people tend to start calling them “rural” when you get a certain distance from the big cities and things spread out, often also near farmland and/or nature.

For example, this would probably count as rural.

The really crazy thing is that this dude was doing edits like this before AI. I’m not even sure if he’s changed his methods.

I actually tried to work Babe into the title of this post, but I thought anyone who didn’t get the reference would just think I was weirdly commenting on the girl.

It would make a similar amount of sense.

That’s Blind Jerry for ya. Anything you hand him gets shaped into the millennium falcon.

There are some more! They’re showing up in search, but I can’t click through to download them right now. I’ll try again later.

I don’t imagine quitting the internet, but I can picture the internet fracturing into smaller sites with resistance to AI through obscurity - sort of similar to how we DO get occasional spam bots on Lemmy, but it largely isn’t worth bad actors’ time to target this platform.

Either that, or larger platforms with some sort of verification process, but that seems like a losing battle in the long run.

It’s way more fun to make up your own build as you go, based on how you want to play anyway. Just be warned that the upgrade materials are really stingy after a certain point, so be a little selective with how many weapons you commit to.

…and you’ll know you’re in this swamp when you find it. Good luck!

I love reading people’s first time experience with these games.

Demon’s Souls was the last of the Souls games I played, and I thought it was hard still. The bosses aren’t as frenetic and complex as later titles, but the levels and the navigation is brutal. I still remember running back in that swamp over and over and over.

I also remember grinding out weapon upgrade materials in a cave for literal hours, because I didn’t see any other way to get enough.
