@emnode @deepfates I haven't used the other systems in a bit, but Claude has push-to-talk mode that does exactly this. I just hold down the button until I'm done with my thought.
English
@deepfates I would use voice mode more often with AI if they made it like a walkie talkie. I can't form my thoughts without pausing for 3 seconds and having the AI jump in
English
@mamimiFLCL I'm once again begging everyone to read Astielle by Kitty Unpretty, a web novel that goes "wow if a villain and a hero and a princess were locked in an eternal cycle of reincarnation and struggle that would have fascinating deep character implications." Also they ALL bang freaky.
English
correct me if I’m wrong but every ganondorf you meet is the same person from all the games but Link and Zelda are reincarnations?
English
@SnoogieDougie @espurrs_eyes @gaykittycorps I had a close friend who was an intensive care nurse during COVID. Spending every day losing multiple patients to COVID despite best efforts and coming home to people say it was a fake pandemic fundamentally broke her as as person. Would be fascinated to see that story.
English
@espurrs_eyes @gaykittycorps The Pitt has dabbled in covid and a big part of the overarching plot of the show is PTSD directly caused by the pandemic but that’s about it
And I’d be very interested in a realistic Covid era hospital drama because it’s hard for me to actually visualise

I rewatched it 2 weeks ago when it turned 5 and I think in retrospect it's a profoundly important work of art in that it's the last gasp of 2010s america. musical numbers with on the nose politics, moody lighting with mics on display and very early internet random = funny humour
jesse@darthgordita
the peak of covid psychosis was when people were convinced that a bo burnham musical comedy special was an important piece of art
English
@DefenceOsint @Jonpy99 Don't sweat it, in English "conclusion" was the right word to use here, you're asking a valid question. Not sure why OP was so hostile about it.
English
@Jonpy99 I‘m sorry. English isn‘t my native language and I‘m not very good at it either.

And this is why armor isn't used anymore. Not because it's ran out, but simply because you CAN'T use it under the current conditions.
414 Magyar's Birds@414magyarbirds
Magyar’s update on how the Birds hunt down enemy assault preparations: Tactical episode. Armor on the battlefield is disposable. Better to burn it before the assault begins – then the assault tends to dissolve on its own. Worm cans are being torched during preparations for assault operations, although finding them sometimes feels like searching for mushrooms in a forest. Myrnohrad, Stakhanov Mine, June 10, 2026. Intelligence indicated preparations for a mechanized assault against the sector held by the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine “Azov”. A preemptive inspection of the industrial zone at Stakhanov Mine by fiber-optic FPV pilots of the 4th Battalion, 414th Separate USF Brigade “Magyar’s Birds” ensured that nobody would be going anywhere. Four armored vehicles and half a dozen quadcopters were methodically roasted over the course of about an hour. One company of worms was left preparing instead for the one-way ticket hiking route. That’s how it works. USF Online Dashboard “PIDRAKHUYKA” sbs-group.army MAGYAR 🇺🇦 12.06.26

@hanavulyric @thatfrood Yes! I don't even know the origin, but there's something about this phrase where the construction just clicks with the male cishet brain.
English
@thatfrood many have mentioned this is a thing amongst gen z as well but i'd also like to add that i've heard numerous men (mostly cishet) say it as well
English
i like how for a certain set of millennial women “go piss girl” has become an automatic polite social response in the vein of saying “bless you” but for peeing
English
it continuously stuns me how rightwingers don't know how anything works at all on a systematic level so they assume nothing should be done about anything ever
Sami Gold@souljagoyteller
English
@nikicaga I am increasingly convinced that any discussion with these people needs to begin with "establishing that facts exist, the difference between true/false, and that words do in fact mean things." From there we can move on to "what is a government and why should it exist?"
English
So the 2004 and 2016 elections were illegitimate then, because tens of millions of Americans thought that?
A really incredible turn for the "facts over feelings" crowd
wanye@xwanyex
It’s really very simple. If a whole bunch of Americans think that the existing process is illegitimate, then it actually is illegitimate. That’s how this stuff works. You don’t get to decide that it’s not illegitimate, because you know that there’s a perfectly good explanation for all of it and therefore nobody should really care. If they care, then they care. And if people care, then it’s illegitimate. That’s actually just true by definition. The people who think it’s illegitimate are basically correct by definition. If a bunch of people in your country think that your election system is illegitimate, then it is illegitimate. That’s what illegitimate means in this context.

baseball is literally turn based combat. that means you get into frequent high stakes situations where one clutch hit makes or breaks the entire game. and your friend doesn't like baseball, he likes gambling
gianmarco@GianmarcoSoresi
It’s so validating as a theater kid to hear my friend who likes baseball explain how he uses polymarket to make the games more exciting bc I knew that shit was boring

@lilbluecaboose @LOVETHEW0RLD Exactly! I remember really struggling with dual stick control when I first picked it up! It's just that I was seven years old and I've had a lot of practice since then.
English
@SirJuggles34 @LOVETHEW0RLD Yeah, the dual stick was challenging even when I was first getting into console gaming, and even that was with already grasping the basics of moving on PC. (My mom, meanwhile, was always pretty tech illiterate, so the console controller was extra rough for her)
English
I've been playing video games since I was like 5 so I'm able to rely on my experience, but playing with people who just don't play games really makes me think about how something that comes naturally to me, like the ability to "read" a level, is a skill you need to work at
English
@Sharadleh @LOVETHEW0RLD Gaming has given me a hyper awareness of systems: what inputs do I have control over, and what are the results of manipulating those inputs? This applies from everything from accounting to project management to politics.
English
@LOVETHEW0RLD People scoff at games but there’s a lot of real world application of skills you acquire from games. Like your ability to “read”. To break down what’s in front of you and figure out quickly how to navigate the problem. We Gamers™️ take for granted how hard it is for non gamers
English
@lilbluecaboose @LOVETHEW0RLD I've found dual-stick character/camera control can be extremely challenging for folks coming to video games as adults. They always end up looking at the ceiling, where a more experienced player unconsciously makes micro-adjustments to compensate the camera.
English
@LOVETHEW0RLD i noticed this showing my mom a video game once-- even things like moving through space were challenging, much less keeping the camera pointed at everything. (also it was hitman which would normally be a bad choice but i wanted her to see sapienza)
English
@JokingDev @LOVETHEW0RLD Wife and I had to put that game down at the Shield Wasp fight, both players have to hit their shots in a certain time frame in order to progress and she couldn't dodge & line her cursor up on the target accurately before the window expired and it drove her to tears.
English
@LOVETHEW0RLD For real. I played the first level of 'It takes two' with a girl who doesn't game and she was having so much trouble just moving around, let alone timing her jumps or navigating the level.
English
@katienotopoulos For any wondering: this is because siblings will usually act as normal group members, forming bonds independently, but whenever people get deeply involved or there's drama they will 100% back each other to the death and leave anyone who wasn't expecting it hanging out to dry
English
An extremely rare dynamic you may only come across a few times in your life is when a brother and sister are part of the same social/friends group. These siblings will be extremely fun but will also ruin many lives.
English
@bkpark @dan_gaffa @nikicaga Even if you popped in right in front of a shark, they're pretty much guaranteed to take at least 30 seconds figuring out what this strange new thing in front of them is before chomping on you. And the % chance of even being near a shark is infinitesimal.
English
Lol provided you can't get teleported to a depth where having no gear kills you (seems against the spirit of it), its pretty simple
The ocean is so vast that in all likelihood, you'll get get teleported somewhere on the surface of the deep ocean, with nothing around you

So are you taking this deal?

thinking about this tweet today. generative AI has done a wonderful thing; now everyone can have their own horse kicking them in the head even if they aren't a billionaire. and now billionaires can have two horses kicking them in the head at all times. a very valuable service

@steelydante Basically every Brand New album just leaves you lying in the dark staring at the ceiling at the end. Soco Amaretto Lime? Play Crack The Sky? HANDCUFFS??
English
sometimes an album ends with a track that feels like it’s designed to be the last song you ever hear and it’s like okay what am I supposed to do now except for just die I guess
English
@archon @PunishedErik This is similar to the problem of online FPS games: from a player standpoint it is difficult to consistently separate "I want to have fun" from "I want to win". As a result, many players (not all) will seek ways to win more, which in turn leads to stagnant "meta" play.
English
@PunishedErik In theory they are just supposed to play
In practice they all theorycraft! *shakes fist*
English
This has implications for RPG design. No matter how broad your play space, players seeking an advantage will find local optima. This will narrow the play space. It eventually leads to "perfect" play which in turn becomes perceived as boring and robotic.
Viewed from this perspective, the constant introduction of "splat books" and new content is actually an important aspect of game longevity. By constantly changing the rules, you avoid players being able to find one fixed optimal strategy and then getting bored. Of course, too much change renders prior skill and talent moot, and must be avoided. Balance is required.
For many years the designers of Magic: The Gathering were the best in the industry at managing this.

@JaySizzle1733 @theduskykitchen Bakersfield is a little bit of a stretch but that photo could have been taken in Escondido, Vista, Rancho Santa Fe, Temecula...
English
@theduskykitchen Tuscany is like Bakersfield? I don't know about that
English
the category is californians getting de-influenced to plan these euro vacations
English
@TheRootOf_je @mimi_teaching @theduskykitchen That photo could have been taken in Esco, Vista, Rancho Santa Fe, Poway, Temecula... the list goes on.
English
@mimi_teaching @theduskykitchen That picture of Tuscany looks just like Fallbrook and Escondido
English
@flaminhottweets @KelseyTuoc Makes me question how much it a unique fingerprint this truly is. Seems to me that for an average person who doesn't do a lot of creative/prose writing that their style might be functionally indistinguishable from a million similar people?
English
@KelseyTuoc How many alt accounts will be uncovered. Actually seems pretty scary for people living in authoritarian countries who post anonymously

I have a bunch of secret AI benchmarks I only reveal when they fall, and today one did. I give the AI 1000 words written by me and never published, and ask them who the author is. They generally give flattering wrong answers (see ChatGPT, below:)
