Same with Reddit. In fact I'd just decided to delete the Reddit app and just hang out here, because the AI slop has become intolerable. But really I'm seeing it everywhere. Google News used to be interesting and now again AI slop. Is this the end of human-based online articles and interactions?

Just found this post coming from Bluesky. In a sea of AI-written dreck you are a god-send. I really appreciate that you put a ton of work into the article. I will now go read your other articles. :)

Please take care of yourself and get the medical support you need. I still look forward to seeing your contributions in the future.

Edit: forgot to mention that I got Revenge of the Savage Planet SteamWorld Build from the Steam Summer Sale (so far...)

Also Sable from Epic Games. Looking forward to playing them all.

A cross-over between No Man's Sky and Light No Fire, where the expedition is on a single planet and at the end you get the starting date for LNF.

I'd like to see more different animals, but more biomes would be more than welcome. A mash-up of earth-like animals but more alien. Giraffes, elephants, giant ants, etc would be really cool.

This issue is top quality! There are several articles that I'll be going over for some time. The 'Drawing Inverted Shapes' which is about highlighting your character or another area on the screen is fantastic. It really makes the cart look professional / more engaging. I know the editor of the zine was going through burnout doing these every month. Hopefully stretching it out to quarterly will work for them because I truly appreciate the work and dedication that goes into drafting the issues.

A link to the the zine.

I decided there was a reason it's called a community expedition. And that's because somebody else figures out where the damn things are and then the rest of the community goes there to get the reward. That's what I wound up doing for like four of them.

Dripping coffee onto a metallic ball and getting a C&D notice via social media. Pretty entertaining.
