I was at school in the UK and they didn’t even mention it to us, I only found out when I got home and turned the TV on. Honestly I doubt more than 2 or 3 people in the school learned before the school day finished, the only place to hear it from would have been the radios in the kitchen and staffroom.


Keep a bag of seeds, nuts, and/or dried fruit on your person to snack on and drink more very sugary or fatty drinks (soda, fruit juice, milkshakes) while you’re at work. If you’re already stuffing yourself in the evenings you need to spread more calories over the rest of the day.


If your point is “but you’re mean” then you don’t have a point.


At a friend’s house we had a thin mouse surface sheet stuck to the front cover of a Warhammer 40k 6th Edition Rulebook.
You could also take inspiration from Timberborn and chew one out of wood yourself.
Telling people there was already a vote so it can’t be redone if circumstances change sounds pretty anti-democratic.


Chaucer used the singular they in the 14th Century, back when he was popularising Middle English.


Ok, sure, if you’ve only worked adjacent to kids or in one-on-one environments you might still be that naive, but even the most compassionate and sympathetic teachers experience it by the end of their first year - all children misbehave in a wide variety of ways for a wide variety of reasons and thinking yourself above getting annoyed by it is setting yourself up for failure.
You don’t actually do it, but you definitely discuss it with your coworkers over lunch on particularly bad days.


Part of the problem is that when you work with children there’s always a moment that makes you consider it. When 3 or 4 are going off on one at the same time there’s just a second where it comes to mind before you dismiss it as unreasonable.
When you’re low paid and have shitty management those times tend to be a lot more common and you have fewer tools to deal with them. Eventually, when you run out of reasonable alternatives, it starts to look a lot less unreasonable.
If you’re open to something more serious I’d also point to Find The Path, who I consider the gold standard for TTRPG play. The DM does a lot of research into the settings and the real world cultures they’re inspired by, and uses that to really make the world feel alive, while the players make interesting characters whose stories and backstories naturally flow into the main narrative without long monologues and flashbacks.
Also I realised the perfect comparison for Rotgrind’s level of silliness: the players are all part of the crew that made If The Emperor Had A TTS Device and Hunter: The Parenting.
My guy.
Steam does let you filter out AI games, you are just complaining about the mechanism. You are implicitly agreeing that Steam does let you filter games with your complaints. Maybe engage your brain at all before telling people they’re brainwashed. I bet you haven’t even submitted a feature request.
If you’re open to other systems I’d recommend MNMaxed, Tabletop Gold and Hideous Laughter for PF2e, Cosmic Crit for Starfinder, and Get In The Trunk for Delta Green.
I personally really enjoy The Danger Club and Rotgrind/Warhams, but they might be sillier than you’re looking for.
literally gives a way you can filter Steam for AI generated content
“Ah, but they haven’t used my implementation”
You’re trying so hard to direct your hatred at Gaben for not letting you do something you can actually do it’s unreal


Update - 10:39 UTC - Gaijin replied and simply said:
“We do not use generative AI for anything other than for Ms. Second. And even there, the choice is deliberate: we use an AI-generated voice not to cut costs, or speed up production, but because we see it as a postmodern artistic statement – an AI character quite literally speaking with an AI-generated voice”
Update #2 - 13:04 UTC - Gaijin followed up to say:
“In other words, we think AI should be voiced by AI - not to offend AI. This feels especially important nowadays, with AGI almost here. That’s all we can say, unpacking the whole AI cultural narrative isn’t really our place.”
No, it’s even stupider than a bad joke - these are roku’s basilisk idiots.


I think it’s more that you people refuse to read theory and instead absorb a vibes based idea of feminism from social media before parroting the language with no understanding of its meaning. It still means trans exclusionary radical feminist, you just kept using it without ever learning that.


How can I be arguing they’re feminists when I keep saying they’re not TERFs? You’re the one absolutely insistent that they’re radical feminists.


If you don’t want to legitimise them why have you spent the entire conversation calling them feminists instead of transphobes?


No it hasn’t, you just want to legitimise their abhorrent views as feminist.


You mean like MUDRAT, Bob Vylan, shame, or Kid Kapichi? Then there’s the post punk/punk adjacent stuff like Kneecap, Hyphen, Viagra Boys, Warmduscher, Yard Act, Gila Band, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs etc.
You’re not going to find them listening to corporate radio or following the algorithm, but there’s plenty out there.
Normally I’d agree, but this person is doing an active job so the exercise can probably absorb the empty calories. The problem of high sugar drinks is that most people don’t live an active enough lifestyle to immediately use the sugar, but I don’t think that’s so much of a problem here.
