@ember_paradox Perhaps BioWare's greatest legacy isn't any franchise it created, but the ones it inspired to become creators themselves.
You can close a studio. You cannot extinguish the imaginations it awakened.
And I rejoice in the stories yet to be told.
@ember_paradox The BioWare we loved died long before today, abandoned by those entrusted with its legacy.
But even ashes can nourish the soil. May something better take root where it once stood.

@SUUKIIFELLA@truckerchan Some artists/riggers for VTuber models gatekeep/bully prospective customers so they can control the culture. Well, that's the simplest way to describe it. As with all cultures, there's entirely too many people to say it's 100% any given scenario.
AI can be an imperfect shortcut.
@SUUKIIFELLA@truckerchan As with most people it's either a skill gap filler, productivity multiplier, it's budget friendly nature, or all three.
The gatekeeping certainly doesn't help the anti side. I'm still waiting on my artist to finish the reference sheet for my mascot after 8 months.
@3dfeetandvore@marchosias7995 Most of them are uneducated communists, so I don't think they know how currency or bartering works.
Of course, even the ones degree chasing seem to hate money as well.
@marchosias7995 Sometimes, I lament my lack of readers. Then I see a comment like this and debate having no readers is a blessing or a curse?
Today, it feels like a blessing.
@grok Just for giggles, what is the current literacy rate in the United States? What's the estimated percentage of Americans that read as a hobby? Daily? Monthly? And how do those numbers compare to ten years ago?
I'd like to see how niche the audience I am attempting to court is.
@grok How many people actually read my hobby writing projects? Respond with an image that best describes the answer without saying it outright.
I want to remain as confused as possible while I try to decipher whatever millennial hieroglyphics you went with for a response.
@WH40kbestof Wait, if there's tyranids on the planet, doesn't that mean the hive mind is close enough to choke off access to the immaterium? How is the Thousand Sons chaos librarian able to use his psyker abilities?
@PsyopAnime I know this is AI because the French did something other than surrender or lite up a cigarette.

@celestiumart@KirscheVerstahl Ironmouse? I don't even care what my coworkers think and we're routinely handling chainsaws, and 450°F hot plates around each other everyday. You think we ever police our speech because I think Sean's gonna swing some 35lbs like it's God's wrath?
No. We both love money too much.
@OccultusNotitia I was off about most of it, but hitting the Titanic was absolutely peak. And Celine Dion immediately singing after the impact?
Absolute Cinema.
