the downside of no one born after '95 being literate anymore is that you can't even use an unreliable narrator to grant characterization without some putz trying to fact-check shit
Marvin Gaye performing 'Come Get To This' live in Atlanta [1974]
Marvin was a master at crowd control and building musical tension. He spends the first two minutes of this entirely acapella - the place goes crazy when the band finally comes in
There’s a lot of confusion right now about the PlayStation 30-day DRM issue People are calling it a random bug or saying it only affects PS Plus games It’s not a bug and it's happening to regular purchases.
I investigated what happen under the hood to see exactly what Sony did Here is the technical breakdown:
First Sony didn't change anything on the console software side the expiration timer has always existed to protect subscription content what changed is how the server issues your .RIF (Rights Information) file the digital license your console uses to verify you own the game.
To test this, I compared the hex data of the .RIF files for the exact same game across two accounts: one bought before March and one bought recently
For the old purchase the End Timestamp offset is set to 7F FF FF FF FF FF FF FF this translates to no expiration date.
For the recent purchase that infinite value is gone the server now actively populates the End Timestamp to expire exactly 30 days out
bottom line sony is simply reusing an existing feature any new digital license you get from Sony's servers now comes with a 30-day check-in requirement baked directly into the license file

The entire planet is counting down to the single most satisfying obituary ever written. Because he is, was, and forever will be an irredeemable piece of shit.
“The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.”
Right now, Kristi Noem is at home, depressed, eating ice cream, and watching the ending of “Old Yeller” over and over again to try to cheer herself up.

May God please kill all truck drivers with high-beams that shoot me in the fucking eyes. May god kill them instantly with a painful disease. May they crash into a

i feel like the point of learning the word copaganda is supposed to be that you recognise it and stop being susceptible to it, not that you become red and mad every time you watch columbo tbh
AI is a consumer facing product, not a creative tool. The act of prompting, waiting, and watching is passive and consumptive. No one else wants to watch what you've 'made', even other AI users. It's like describing a crazy dream you had, it's meaningless and no one cares but you.
Trying to provoke both a world war and a civil war at the same time while demanding a Nobel Peace prize is a level of insanity we’ve never seen ever before.
