it's so wild to me that you absolutely cannot force a hyperfixation to happen. like you'll watch the most perfectly tailor-made-for-you content that everyone says you'll love and feel absolutely nothing, and then the thing you watch on a whim to fill time will reach through the screen and put its damn fingers in your brain and start rearranging the neurons right in front of you and every single time you're like THIS??? THIS??????? and this happens like every 6-12 months forever

The terrible thing is when you’re between hyperfixations and you’re longing for one and you’ve got nothing. Your brain’s just hanging you out there to dry. Leaving you to rawdog reality.

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

Varric Tethras as a character is wild. He calls everyone by a nickname. He writes trashy romance novels. He’s a prolific liar. His family got them kicked out of the dwarf kingdom for rigging dwarven Wrestlemania matches. He has fingers in literally every crime ring in Kirkwall. He lives in a pub. He named his weapon after his absent girlfriend with whom he has a restraining order. He denies his involvement in keeping the wizard police away from his friend’s illegal magic Urgent Care. He’s the mom of the friend group. And he does this all while being four feet tall

xD

did they intend to give solas and rook three times the chemistry they gave solas and lavellan in the base inqusition game or am i witnessing the funniest possible thing bioware could've done

dying in skull cavern while married to harvey is the funniest shit that can happen in this game. after you don’t show up for the return bus ride pam fights her way to the bottom with her bare hands and scrapes your corpse off the ground. she princess carries you to the clinic where your husband immediately has a nervous breakdown at the sight of your broken mangled carcass. pam leaves to go get a miller lite while harvey breaks down hysterically over your motionless body. 14 hours later you wake up and immediately fall on your ass off the hospital bed. harvey comes in and explains things to you perfectly calmly as if he hasnt just spent the past 12 hours delicately sewing his spouse’s bloodied body back together. he charges you $1000. it immediately goes back into your shared bank account

love that the 1.6 update has basically told us that the farmer can read at an insane rate. Like that scene in the first episode of doctor who where 9 reads a whole book in a single second. So now I'm just imagining Elliott giving us a copy of the book he spent years writing and we read the entire thing in like 2 seconds and just go "yea it was good"
