SEN Jp💤

Must have been a dream 😴

I worked at Epic Games for two years. This is real, and the strategy behind it is smarter than most people realize. Tim Sweeney has spent nearly two decades buying North Carolina forest land. 50,000+ acres across 15 counties. He’s now one of the largest private landowners in the state. The purchases started in 2008, right after the real estate collapse wiped out developers who had been planning golf resorts and luxury communities on biodiverse wilderness. Sweeney paid $15 million for Box Creek Wilderness, a 7,000-acre stretch in the Blue Ridge foothills containing 130+ rare and threatened species. Developers had owned 5,000 of those acres before the crash. He bought them for conservation prices when nobody else was bidding. He runs the acquisitions through an LLC called “130 of Chatham.” He buys the land, holds it for years, then either donates it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sells it at a discount to state parks, or hands it to land trusts. In 2021, he donated 7,500 acres in the Roan Highlands to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. Largest private land donation in North Carolina history. The part people miss: he told the News & Observer that since 2021, land got too expensive to keep buying. So he shifted focus to converting his existing 50,000 acres into permanent conservation status. He’s locking the land into legal structures that make development impossible regardless of who owns it in the future. A billionaire worth roughly $6 billion is spending tens of millions acquiring wilderness specifically during economic downturns, then giving it away or placing it under permanent legal protection. The land will outlast him, Epic Games, and Fortnite. That’s the part that separates Sweeney from billionaires who write checks to get their name on a building. The building depreciates. The forest compounds.

never in my life seen a nigga play resident evil like call of duty search n destroy

@ivussyx FUCK bubbles and FUCK his chud son 😤😤😤

Found Bubbles Jr. in The Blinding Vale, and he's not very happy...

talk about faith

Adobe CEO resigns, most likely due to Adobe floundering amidst the AI wave. IMO Adobe made a big mistake leaning hard into generative AI. Their userbase hate it. They will thrive if they reject gen AI, and return to putting humans first. That should be the focus of the next CEO

It’s time to quit, @AnthropicAI employees. You are in over your head.

@ghoulrunnings I remember people telling me Ganon was finally good, look at all the offensive tools you have now! Except everyone else also got those, and now defensive tools are worse.. Look where we are now. 😭

the pure optimism and joy of early ultimate and having 70 characters to experiment with from day 1 can never be matched again. then nintendo will nerf your dogshit heavy character in the first patch because a 7 year old on wifi was good at pressing B

@pikapikachoo_ @SENRivals I think it might have pushed them to include it. But it's definitely from this.

@threezy @SENRivals are you implying they saw and got inspired from your recolor for a comic skin lmao

There should be a legal requirement to label all AI generated text. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life parsing out human communication from machine slop. This is a mental tax I never agreed to or signed up for.

more tweets about us than matches won in the last month

The mask is off @JonahP_ is officially a Sentinel

@Bulbapedia Do you happen to have the stat on which Gen 1 pokemons page is visited the least?

Now here's some interesting data. Some new faces joined the top page rankings last month! Looks like it took no time at all for our newfound friends to capture our hearts. Oh and don't worry, we didn't miss anyone - check the replies!

And they wonder why we defend artists and hate Al. We don't want to lose art and talent like that.

@borjaworld @SyntheVisuals You're a great designer dude, you don't have to use AI...

@SyntheVisuals An actual designer (me) made it, whats the problem here? AI is a fantastic tool to create assets that can’t be done in terms of time. For example this, i've pick the splasharts, then changed the gesture and turn them into 3D models. That would took many days but with AI few hours

the slow burn is real. eSports teams are orienting towards AI slop instead of hiring actual designers for minimum wage

you can’t even say “get a job” to people anymore because market is so bad they’ll be like ive applied to 400 jobs over the past 6 months

7 years. Almost 100,000 followers on Twitch. A steady climb built on one thing: self-belief that one day I would make it. Now I’m less than 1,000 away. To commemorate years of effort… At 100K, I’m going skydiving. When I started this journey, I was shooting for the stars. Now I’m going to leap from them. Let’s finish this.

the trials have begun
