I’m really hoping that legislation will be in place to curb this sort of thing by the time my kids are old enough to want to watch sports. I’m not thrilled at the prospect of those ads marinating in their young brains, and I don’t relish the thought of trying to explain to a credulous 8-year-old that we can’t win millions of dollars betting on hockey games.

Hoping is different than expecting, unfortunately.

They’ve moved on to generating images and videos with ShartGPT now.

This is the image Meta AI is currently using to advertise their video generation function on the Google Play Store.

I started with the Eisenhorn omnibus, followed by Ravenor. Currently I’m nearing the end of Gaunt’s Ghosts (I think). I’m not sure where I’m going after that.

Cowboy Bebop. Not even the Netflix adaptation (which I haven’t seen), but the original. I got told by so many people that it was the best anime series ever, but I just couldn’t connect with it.

I’d maybe say it’s because I prefer more optimistic stories, but then I started reading Warhammer 40k books last year, so maybe I just have trash tastes.

I wonder how long before they disable the Web Search option (udm=14). I still use that as my default search engine wherever possible, because I find it more reliable than Duck Duck Go for the things I tend to search for. Unfortunately, I can see Google killing it to funnel more people towards the slop trough.

Slay the Spire is one of my top 5 favourite games ever, and I’ve probably put more than 1500 hours into it. I’m super excited about the sequel.

The only downside is that it’s only on Steam right now. 90%+ of my playtime in the first game is on my phone. I mind paying twice, but I will miss the convenience while I wait for the mobile release.

It doesn’t matter if you guys somehow manage to get adults back in charge in the next 2-4 years. There is nothing stopping another Trump-esque person from being elected again soon after and tearing everything down again. Until you guys purge MAGA and can prove you are in no danger of a relapse, we simply can’t trust you.
