no matter what song ive been testing it and lauing my ass off for an hour

and, idk, it bothers me because there are a lot of legitimate accessibility features that I think every game should have. there's no reason for a puzzle game to be inaccessible to colorblind people. there's no reason that an execution-heavy game shouldn't allow you to set up alternate control schemes. but the solution is not "make the puzzles easier" or "make the bosses do less damage" any more than the "solution" to a complicated piece of writing is "create a version where everything is written using simpler language." idk! it just feels like a refusal to engage with art as art and not Product.

ik the masters were great and everything, but not everyone back then could have been a master. i need some frame of reference over here.

I know it's technically competent, but it just has a horrid aura surrounding it. I don't even care about disrespecting the Italian master Vincenzo Campi anymore, he should have looked at this painting and destroyed it like a sick beast.

Which is not to say we should be uncritical of the environmental impact of the AI industry (particularly when it comes to the environmental costs of *training* AI models), but like. It's weird and silly to act like individual AI users are having this disproportinately huge impact whenever they use their little touy when like. Their actions are about as environmentally damaging as anything else they could be spending their online time on, and if we're working from the premise that that level of environmental impact is unacceptable we kinda have no choice but to reckon with the fact that maybe we should all be using the internet a little less, you know?
