  • Squadron 42, to my knowledge, is much closer to it’s release than Star Citizen as an MMO. I suspect we’ll be waiting until 2028 at earliest for either, but Squadron has a chance at releasing by then, late as ever but at least passable (and hopefully not a fixer-upper like NMS or Cyberpunk were) and possibly benefiting from it’s age, but don’t expect groundbreaking graphics as the games that have aimed for such since the release cycle of games in general hit the 10 year mark.

    Star Citizen will always be a living project as long as it exists, but Squadron 42 will be more in line with people’s expectations. Remember, GTA V started development before GTA IV was released, GTA VI has likely been in development just as long as CIG as a company has existed.

    My mom is this, cats love her and she doesn’t mind too much even though she’s allergic to them, but it does mean she can’t pet them because cat hair gives her watery eyes, stuffed up nose and sneezes/coughing.

    If not for that and that some cats pee on everything, I’d love to adopt a cat. They’re basically a furry parent if they like you, that’s why they sometimes try to bring you gifts (they think you’re a kitten because you can’t hunt).

    I like to make sure other people’s pets are comfy or happy when I visit someone or see someone walking their dog by taking notice and being nice, dogs and cats especially are usually happy to be noticed!








  • So is art itself. I might not name things the same as my inspirations or create anything identical, but I haven’t written a single thing that wasn’t based on something else.

    I don’t want the AI being trained on my work either, but that’s because I oppose “automated mass slavery”

    “Oh, you don’t want to be a slave in return for only the most basic of food and shelter? Sure, see if there are any jobs out there anymore, now that robots can do all of it for rich arrogant god complex sufferers like me. Lets lay the new ground rules… You’re DISPOSABLE to me. Beg and worship or die.” - A designated slaveowner’s thought process, 2084.

    Stop thinking like a capitalist and start thinking like you’re an angry drunk if you really believe LLM should be outlawed. Envy is not a flattering look on anyone, you included. At least protests and riots get shit done, even if that means sacrificing a lifestyle you’re clearly only enjoying thanks to being self-centered in your artistic pursuits.


  • Fact is, art is SO hard that I am in my 30s, broke and have no employable skills other than research, social skills (barely, blame Autism for ruining it for me) and creative ability.

    I earned, like, $15 to $20 CAD from publishing a book of short stories on Amazon over 2 years. Before you ask why, I am not excluding quality as a possibility but for the most part it’s because nobody is into optimistic post-singularity sci-fi anymore and I refuse to rely on anything but word of mouth for advertisement because screw the advertocracy.

    My point is, if people pirate Cody Gibling’s works, I’d rather they do so because I only want enough money to be comfortable and anything else I get would be aimed at more serious pursuits like activism. You know what I pirate? Anything that they make too hard to access in the first place. Like dead MMOs or completed movies that were cancelled to get the studio a free tax break.
