@AlsikkanTV those are indeed some empretty ukxepcted twits.

apparently this was sold as a live Willy Wonka Experience but they used all AI images on the website to sell tickets and then people showed up and saw this and it got so bad people called the cops lmao

@maisiecora yes! for example 1. dim sum 2. the appetizer sampler basket at Denny's 3. any "appetizer" at The Cheesecake Factory or a similar restaurant, which are the same or slightly larger than a full meal

@david_koloski yes! TF 10:00-11:50 in Low 3309 this semester, if the thing you're feeling passionate about at the moment involves engine development

@AntonHand just went through this. used an external HD to transfer all the files over. can't read any of them off the external HD because NTFS perms are the user on the *old* machine whoops

@mrsambarlow my experience with AI search so far is just LetMe Google That For You but in the voice of an overly eager to please elevator

@damnyouwillis i always detested that strip when i was a kid, and now i know why

every time i read more about the real dennis, the more terrible i learn the day hank ketcham left dennis at a boarding school to go live in switzerland was... his birthday

thinking about how the trope of the idealized 1950s is incredibly deployed in this Dennis the Menace strip, as the real Dennis was dumped at a boarding school following his mother's death because his father was too busy writing comic strips mocking him to be a present father

@delaneykingrox i thought it was just me! infinite loop of bicycles and fire hydrants. very Dada.

@AntonHand @KevynBGrams i did have a student vr project back in the day where you ride a flying unicorn, controlled by bouncing on a yoga ball...and another project in the Enchanted Asparagus Forest...but nobody has successfully put those concepts together yet

@_wholesomegames immersence.com/osmose/ love this. and looking at the long arc, the o.g. , Osmose (1994) by Char Davies, in which you float through overlapping worlds by breathing

The brief arc of VR development is fascinating to me. When I first played on prototype hardware, it was all shooting and rollercoasters, and now there seems to be an influx of gentle, delightful experiences like Toy Trains, a game in which you solve track-based puzzles.

enough songs about emotions, I want to hear a band that only writes songs about science and physics. Educational Metalcore is an untapped market, I'm tellin y'all.
