i knew going in that "comedy forum" was gonna be somethingawful. i hadn't thought that somethingawful -> 4chan was just gonna be a single step

hell yeah. thank you holly

i have like, several rants saved up on how "ai detection" techniques that rely on pointing out superficial stuff easily run into problems (namely, A Human Guy can just do it Like That) (same goes even with the substance. kinda). but folks probably would just say that i'm an ai supporter or whatever

euwh anethum what's with the sappy ending there lmao. "battle! (cassiopeia)" by teruo taniguchi. isn't it funny that they put a hardstyle song in a pokemon game. hahah

no yeah i totally understand, like, i'm not saying that nk jemisin should be persona non grata to everyone fancying themselves a trans ally, like. it's just... idk, "personal", i guess, not that i know nk jemisin nor isabel fall personally

here's a short writeup on it re: nk jemisin

devtesla also shouted out emily st. james' article/interview with fall, which is kind of a "what happened next", i guess

neat writeup !

glad that people are still out there making games with hot women that are Kinda messed up

has little knowledge about yuri.

this is actually good; at least you wouldn't write the hundredth story about going to the lesbian brothel

To be a robot would be existentially fascinating and horrifying. Understanding yourself would be an impossible task.

well,

(i know that you expounded on it literally in the next paragraph, i'm just amusing myself by replacing "robot" with "human" and then nodding to myself)

Is this really the time to write a tragic AI yuri?

yes

i also occasionally think about "humanoid" robots, processing inputs from mechanical sensors, acting on it, simulating thoughts. though in my imagination they can get pretty close to humans. or rather, if you as a human interact with a robot, and you find that they treat you like a human, talk to you like a human, remembers you like a human, then, you're allowed to hold that warmth in your heart, like.

but anyway! do write it! 1. it would be fun to see a different take on that, i.e., robots being a strange, not-there-yet things 2. it would be nice to read something written by someone who's actually good at writing

literally the first clue of new yorker's tuesday crossword was nk jemisin's book. i genuinely would've felt less bad had it been jk rowling

at one point the playlist got to doechii's "anxiety", which i actually don't mind (obviously i first mistook it for "somebody that i used to know". it always gets me), and the assistant walked over to the computer to skip the song

the local anaesthetic worked well so the only source of discomfort was the generic pop spotify playlist playing in the background

[cut to 2v in 3 years time, with thick neck and big naturals, queuing up for the rollercoaster for the 7th time] maybe i should get into soccer

ah, a version of this song that i'm familiar with is sound holic/yurica's eurobeat arrangement. that's the thing with touhou songs, right? no matter which song, you're familiar with at least one version of it

the way this arrange switches to 3/4 in the middle, the way the instrument drops out, the way they arrange the percussion when it comes back in, reminds me of a certain song from undertale

ah, it's comparable to soccer headers? i mean... soccer does have its cte problems with headers, but those in the paper are really mild headers with just 7m/s balls (apparently even youth footballers average 20m/s for crossing passes). also it's not even the sport called "football" with the biggest cte problem isn't it. hahah.

interestingly subject A seemed to have less brain deformation due to stronger neck. better start working those muscles, 2v

"drill musou: after being reincarnated in another world and being bestowed a drill by god, i saved the princess, ousted the fake hero, subjugated the demon king", uh... "i became the strongest and led a slow life"??? ので tripping me up there. making fun of overlong isekai titles is kinda passe; isekai titles are making fun of isekai titles. i still found this one funny though

really enjoying that due to synthv, teto vocals now sound smoother than miku lol

also enjoyed 19 Across: Billion-dollar acquisition for Yahoo, in 2013

happy halloween, 2v
