He’d have to stop playing Umamasume for long enough to read steam porn game reviews

Saw someone with “IYCRTTYAVS”

The fuck is a mind war account

I’m terrible at eye contact I can either have awful eye contact and actually hear the conversation or I can have perfect eye contact and not hear a word the person says

I think I have found meaning in kindness and beauty. Anything I do to make life more worth living for other beings makes my life more meaningful. Finding beauty, wherever it may be and whatever form it may take, gives my life meaning.

I often say that the meaning of life is the smile in a dog’s eyes when you pet it, and I think that serves nicely.

Austin Wintory - Apotheosis (but the flac version).

Just such a gorgeous piece that spans the whole spectral range and has a wide dynamic range. Really intricate details from all the instruments involved too.

Its a beautiful way to experience a new set of speakers and also to dial in the balance on the EQ.

Immediately followed by the Nurture album by Porter Robinson

Big fan of 65daysofstatic ever since No Man’s Sky

Toby Fox was forced to add trophies to the PlayStation release of undertale and deltarune, and made them oppressively annoying in protest, so I feel like there are exceptions to this

Democracy, obviously. No it doesn’t change if I’m the dictator.

New subclass

I have to assume that there’s some kind of wilful ignorance going on because these kinds of products exist at the high and low end of the market

Though I agree with your ETA.

Noteworthy that it is not the presence of rgb that makes these fit the bill, though it is usually present. Its the hyper angular, edgy, kitschy nonsense

Why is almost everyone in this thread just talking about rgb? The OP directly says that this isn’t about rgb

I hate the gamer aesthetic, and I won’t buy a product that adheres to it (unless its an internal component for my PC because i have an opaque case anyway). Rgb lighting can be nice in moderation, as long as it is truly customisable.

Most places I’m aware of will mention if AI is used in the creation of some product, whether it is directly displayed in the end result or not

Death of the author, baby

I think its less about precisely where you draw the line, because that would assume you will be able to perfectly practice your ethics.

More important is that you are imperfectly practising your ethics, rather than not at all. Do you consider nestle evil enough to boycott but you haven’t found a suitable replacement for 1 product? That’s fine, boycott the rest of the products you would have got from them.

The harder you try to define the line, the harder it gets to actually implement in practice, which is the most important part.

Where I draw my line is a gut feeling more than anything. I won’t support meta or amazon or any of Musk’s ventures, I try to avoid nestle but they own half the food industry so if a product isn’t from nestle or one of the subsidiaries that I’ve memorised, I’ll consider it fair game most of the time. I’d probably look for a job elsewhere if my company started being evil but I wouldn’t leave until I had a job lined up.

I’m so happy you’re finding your way out of a pit! I don’t know why you think it would be an unpopular thing to share, you’re on Beehaw here! People tend to be(e) a bit nicer

Say that again

We all know, right? Nobody needs to say it?

No luck catching them (swans/killers), then?

You are blowing up. Right NOW.
