If the photocopier is smart enough to do a scribe’s job then it deserves human rights, fair wages, and a pension just like the rest of us.

Also, they spelled it wrong. The logo clearly says “Darkochaser”

Nvidia drivers are mostly OK now.

None of that seemed insensitive to me, you’re cool~

Can confirm the soft and comfy, fursuit hugs are great~. It does get toasty in them, though. Some engineer furries developed cooling vests that help a lot, but wintertime suiting is great!

Sure, that’s how it starts. The obligatory game console with either Smash Bros or Mario Kart.

Then you get in the aspiring furry DJ who insists on bringing a mixdeck and playing the wildest stuff you’ve ever heard, the amateur mixologist starts making drinks, another fur takes it on themselves to start grilling, and the stoner furries settle into a blunt rotation on the patio.

Before you know it, you’re having to get a second table for all your visitors’ fursuit heads and every whiteboard in the house has lost half of its surface to sketches you never want to erase.

I don’t get out much, but I’ve been to a few of these parties.

My favorite bits are all the little creative touches. Like, lots of furries have custom stickers rather than business cards, so some furry parties will have a guestboard that gets crowded with stickers and sketches as the guest count climbs. =D

Generative “AI” is not “AI”, it’s a overlarge statistical model of written language. It cannot make NPC dialogue more lively because it has no concept of “liveliness” or “boredom”. A 10-minute conversation is impossible, anything more than a few words and the models very rapidly lose consistency. You can see this for yourself by playing one of the many “AI Dungeon” attempts at using large language models to run a text adventure.

Generative AI is a statistical model, not something that can understand what makes a good plot…

Do it.

Since you are all knowing, explain to me exactly how deep earth mining is less costly and better for the environment than deep earth drilling.

Easy, just compare the amount of pollution required to make a battery and a solar panel with the amount of pollution required to extract and burn fossil fuels for the equivalent power output over the duration of the renewable’s working lifetime.

Oh, and don’t forget. Fossil fuels are useless without an engine to burn them, so you need to account for those infrastructure costs as well.

Do you want the math or would you prefer less reading and more pictures?

Patreon deserves to die, their cut of the subscription income is extortionate for what amounts to a very limited web hosting platform.

Open-source alternatives like Mirlo or Cloud Patron will take its place, it’s only a matter of time.

You’re joking, but you’re right.

Once the content has been created, the near-zero marginal cost of online distribution makes the concept of charging for copies wholly untenable.

The furry community figured this out years ago, our creators work on commission or paid subscription through Patreon or one of its ilk. They (mostly) don’t care where you freely share their work because they already got paid.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if your screens are showing you ads then they aren’t your screens…
