"kinda" but no.

The best way to describe it is a very highly curated predictive text generator. Kinda like the auto suggest on your phone. The difference is there's weights and randomization to try and make it different, while it's still largely force fed already obtained text that others have created in the past. They pretty much don't learn from users themselves, which is a good/bad thing, as they only know what their creator wants via training data and self censoring.

It may say or claim it's sentient, but it's pretty much just pulling from a sci-fi novel and assuming what would follow those words as they generate.

Now, this isn't to say there isn't a sentient AI out there somewhere, but it's none of the current consumer accessible ones. Not in the true sense of AI that you're probably thinking.

Things like this give me that cozy feeling, like it'd be nice to just shrink down. On the other hand, it'd probably drive one crazy after a point due to having no where to put stuff. And like the great Carlin once said... we need more stuff.

Joe Versus the Volcano

.... fuck

I automatically thought of Silent Hill.

It's got what CE needs, electrolytes!

I dreamed about some sort of fantasy/video game like setting and there was a weird glow/film tint. That's the best I can describe it as I could stand there and see different biomes, such as a snow one, a star/cosmic like one, a dark forest, and something else. There were also like creatures or something guarding each one, that I had to defeat and overcome.

Though notably for some reason there was a giant black panther with red glowing eyes (scale wise would be roughly chimera in dragon's dogma vs average person), I was supposed to fear and defeat. I also got this overwhelming sense it was female for some reason. However, instead I was nice and gave her a petting. So she approached me like prey, and I expected to be harmed... but instead I was pulled in with a foreleg and given some very vivid nuzzles and a sort of protective hug.

I really don't know how to interpret it, but it was nice to be cuddled by big kitty. I usually get weird flying dreams and stressful/violent ones.

Finally, it paid off randomly thinking of Krystal fox and going with it.

I should have thought of someone else, but she'll do.

Oh, as for how I react and what I do. I'll be more confused as to why I'm at a live sporting event. I'll totally try to smooch, it'll be worth it.

Is this possibly because of my one post? lol
I only ask because of the timing, but yeah... "human, because I'm human"

I even seen similiar stuff in a game like world of tanks/warships or such games if you could believe it. "I only play american tanks, because I'm american". Then they moan about being underpowered because it's not like the history/military channel told them.

1/10 stars

I saw this movie last night, and my popcorn butter melted through to my pants. So for 2 hours 40 minutes I had butter pants while this kid wouldn't stop crying. I will never watch this movie again due to the emotional trauma and the director should should shot for allowing this travesty to be released. Movie itself was fantastic, however.

I only just popped that out, but I love it when you see reviews for anything similiar to that. They give it the lowest rating, because of some arbitrary thing while praising the movie/product for being fine.

From what history channel told me, that's partially true for the gladiators themselves. It was the prisoners, christians, and animals that didn't do so hot.

Looks like one of the ones in Dead or Alive Xtreme beach volley ball.

Another classic game for enthusiasts.

I remember in the first game, before the first major update, where you only got 1 port crystal near the end of the Main Quest and had to basically walk everywhere, uphill both ways.

It wasn't until later that they made it "easier" and looking at these micro transactions, they look like the ones in MH... where it's a 1 pop shot, so you can only buy each one once. It's literally for idiots that can't be bothered to play the game for more than a few hours, to gain essentially no benefit. It's more like an "I messed up real bad" thing. Though, I do agree it's kinda dumb that they exist... but it's totally unneeded, unless you really really need a bump of rift crystals, because I almost assure you with them being labeled A, B, C, you can only buy that dlc ONCE, and you better not mess up those 1500 rift crystals or you're really screwed.

Somehow I think how they handle it is even worse, as on one hand you can literally ignore them. However, if you rely on them, you're quickly left in a dead end after getting each pack.

This topic just reminded me of 7th grade, where my math teacher had on the front wall a quote from Adolf Hitler for all of us to see all year long.

I don't know what the quote was, or if he even actually said it. I think it was something inspirational, but hell if I can remember it. And No, it thankfully wasn't regarding The Final Solution, as some shitty and bizarre 'joke' related to math.

Yeah, I kinda have to agree that without other limitations this just comes off as "if a US company was equally farming our data it'd be ok, because the government could just slip right in." The real issue is that it's going to an adversary and thus a risk.

Blue has meowth, vulpix, and sandshrew... on the other hand red has ekans and growlithe. Plus the game corner difference.
Gee, my cousin sure screwed me over by forcing me to get red, lol.

harbingers of the honkerpocalypse

They did it to stop the harbingening.

I find this incredibly odd, because I actually have been, and I even let one out as I read this topic.

wut u gon do bout it

Yeah, usually it's always online and is steadily fed bits of updates over time, even if it's got a heavy single player element. It's so you're enticed to constantly be farming something due to fomo and eventually once they decide that's that, you lose it all due to servers or an account.

It also never really ends, as they add more and more to the story in content updates. Think Destiny 1 and 2, where they just started dragging it on and even started to fully remove content "because it's old and who cares, screw you"

I use Destiny 1 and 2 as a vague rough example, there's actually other/better ones I could have picked but I'm lazy.

I never got to play Oregon Trail. However, I do recall our old computer stuff was basically divided into two areas. In elementary school there was the computer lab room for us to all take simple tests after reading books, then there was the more fun room where it had learning games. There was some sort of weird dungeon crawler game where you had to fight words and math iirc.

After that it was actually a total lack of computer access until 8th grade (so from 5-7th nothing) where it was a bit backwards. In 8th grade we learned how to use Word, Excel, etc type things such as file saving etc, and had to type up lengthy things. Then came 9th where they then actually taught us how to use the proper homerow type of thing. Not like I can physically type "properly" anyways.

Oh, as for personal computer. My cousin had a computer for years, then my grandparents decided to take me to Circuit City and get a computer so I could use it for homework and such. Ofcourse, my dad never having a single interest in computers until then decided to lock it down for himself and I basically never got to use it. If he messed it up somehow, it was always my fault for putting all these games on it, which I didn't.

I'm going to add it to my ever expanding roster of games I buy, then never get to play, because I'm a heathen. I did finish the first, but man... it's like a world apart from now and then.

I'm pretty sure being into furry stuff is a life long thing... it's like being into any fetish interest, isn't it?

That being said, you can be a furry and not advertise that about yourself 24/7 if you aren't normally catering to furry content.

According to some, you're not allowed to be a furry after the age of 30, because "you're too old" and they call you a creep. Some also say you're supposed to out grow it anyways, like video games, so that shows that some are only really into it as a fad thing or gatekeeping. I do find it amusing some of the younger ones are trying to gatekeep it from the older ones, the ones that laid the damn foundation for it to even exist as it does now.

I'm such a vanilla type that I don't even like changing the settings.

There's been 3 tanks that I know of that had classified info leaked due to war thunder. The challenger 2, the leclerc, and maybe the type 59? It's one of the chinese tanks so stick 2 digits after Type and you've probably got it.

In regards to Fox news.
The one they interviewed initially identified as a wolf. Then in a follow up interview didn't, and came off like "oh it's just a fad" type of response. It came off as fairly dismissive. Then there's one with Jesse Watters twice interviewing someone in a fursuit that ran one of a cons, iirc. I don't recall how that one went.

That said, I don't think they were hostile to them, but I have heard them randomly rip into people that identify or associate with animals in the sense. Currently they're flipping out about the peanut butter toe licking highschoolers.

Fox news has totally done stuff with furries, even interviewed them at least 3-4 times. One being a therian as bonus, because they gotta really drill it in that "people identify as a wolf, for real"

I cannot express how much of a compliment it feels when I get accused of being like a feline, when I'm totally just being normal. Apparently I exhibit an aura or vibe without even trying.

Yes and it's only 2 discs on PS5 because Microsoft keeps itself in the stone age when it comes to physical media.

It's like 150 GB on PC and both consoles now as of Patch 6 iirc

What a chonker... I really do feel for those with less than stellar network speeds. You know you're kinda blessed when you can knock that out in less than 2 hours, meanwhile others go into multi day download sessions that actually end up starting over. There's actually an issue with PS5 where, due to the glorious way it works, if there's not enough free space it'll redownload it entirely even for a 400 meg update.

It was about 138 gigs on Series if downloaded, I haven't checked its size after the recent update that was like 48 gigs, so I don't know how much of that was actually overwrite and added.

Liepard, so it can lie and abuse me.

I just use the orientation of the hands and the notches, because some lack numbers. There's one watch/clock face that I think my dad either got or I came across and I immediately hated it. It had 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12 represented numerically.

"I hate this... I just hate it."

Because God knew it was coming and already had a plan. He just pulls the omipresent card and is everywhere, and jumps to a copy elsewhere.

They just think they killed em, because he luvs u and wants to test your will and bank account.

I don't know.

The KFC Chizza, is chicken with cheese and pepperoni unceremoniously draped atop it like someone that passed out first at a party.

I don't know how to feel about the korean thing, but seems like a do it yourself thing.

Nintendo: Going out of business since 1889

This reminds me, a few days ago I was watching an old American Gladiators episode from season 2 and out of nowhere there was a sponsor pop up for the NES baked into the episode. Totally threw me for a moment due to not expecting it.

I don't know what I believe honestly, though I do believe there most likely has to be some sort of higher power we just can't perceive. Be it spiritual, inter-deminsional, or from another planetary system poking around and using us as test subjects.

I do know about 2-3 years ago I started really digging into and embracing something that definitely may seem weird to most people. It's a sense that's been part of me as long as I can remember. However, at the end of the day it puts me more at peace with myself, doesn't harm anything/anyone, and with all the weird theories running around holds just as much sliver of possiblity.

The vocal whiners in the community are really ruining it, like seriously they'll be fine with showing a 50-foot tall dragon shoving a normal-sized werewolf into her cooter but then complain that the werewolf having a canine penis instead of a human one is going too far

lol, this reminds me of a few comments I once saw not too long ago and was kinda poking fun at earlier in my head.

Something along the lines of really enjoying the anthro animals etc, but if they have remotely anatomically correct genitals or pretend mating mechanics it's "sexualizing animals". I think when you put human style breasts, butt, bodies in a super attractive form while still having a dog head/tail/paws/fur, you've already essentially sexualized an animal.

I also kinda find it interesting there's some scared to compliment an actual animal's appearance. Such as calling them handsome/beautiful/cute, because they think they'll come off as wanting to bang it or humanize it. I think one example I saw was "I never noticed my ___'s cat is more beautiful than most human girls." That somehow makes it so much creepier... than just saying "She's beautiful."

This reminds me of that story, a Tulsa couple being charged $4444 for 2 cups at starbucks last year.

Welp... sucks to be them.

I was legitimately going to watch that until I saw it was TWO FUCKING HOURS HOLY SHIT

There's already a hell of a history behind the ones involved... if you don't recognize them.
I saw "snapshots" in real time over the years via random journals/videos/etc. All the build up and then aftermath... lol

PS: It's bad and is why they're permanently banned from another site after 10+ years of activity.

Last Tight Entry

I don't even have to watch this to already know. The fucking thumbnail says it all if you know the story... ugh

First thought that popped into my head... the Douglas DC-3, it's almost timeless if it weren't for the props.

Also honorable mention to the C-130.

a pasadise of sweet teats

Damn, I missed my chance to get a ticket for that.

mushroom, beef, roasted tomato

There was 1, and it was owned/operated by an asian lady. It was weird the one time we recognized her elsewhere not working the ice cream truck since she was the sole ice cream truck driver for as long as I can remember, and thus "hey, it's the ice cream lady". Once she stopped years ago, that was it... I think last year someone tried to restore the van into working, but that's about it.

@Purple_Cheetah I remember that thread. If I'm not mistaken, it was for Kingdom Come: Deliverance. There was controversy about it not having any diversity, and the phrase "Deus Vult" being included in a trailer, so resetera decided it was made by the alt-right and went nuclear on anyone who didn't trash it.

This is the only picture I could find, but it does show page 1 of the thread filled with bans

Then again, you might be thinking of another example. They have blown up over a bunch of games.

Possibly, it's also possible that it WAS Hogwarts Legacy after some thinking. As said they tend to do it if you don't follow the railroad.

Though if you just randomly toss on an insult/praise to the pile and contribute essentially bot behavior it's ok.
