Babe are you okay you're watching that episode of the Ranma anime where Ranma hits her head and forgets she used to be a guy again
A lot of people try to explain this without knowing anything about how voice synthesis works, so here's my breakdown on No, Hatsune Miku Is Not AI, And No, AI Voice Synthesis Is Not Bad.
It does take extra time to set up (but there are templates out there!) but it is so so worth it to have a site that is 100% YOURS!
You don’t even have to be that good at coding. I’m not. My site is not very accessible via mobile devices but that is fine with me (keeps me off my phone) but there are plenty of ways to make your site mobile friendly. There are plenty of bare bones/accessible sites I adore purely for the media on it.
Imagine having your site on your phone and showing someone- hey! I coded this from scratch. And I didn’t even have to pay a company like squarespace. All your images, links, writings, in one place. I have my fandom edits, memes, fanart, and custom graphics there.
Neocities has a very bare bones follower and comment system, but you can disable this if you want your site to truly abstain from any social media-isms. I use it because its a great way to meet other webmasters and get help with coding problems. Neocities isn't an exact replacement for Tumblr (no reblogging here) but html coding is an invaluable skill to know, as is keeping a personal website in this day in age.
The awesome thing about having your own website is if, god forbid, Neocities goes down, you can move your site to any other number of hosting platforms (like Teacake.org). Your site is truly YOURS, and no one else (shitty tech CEO cough cough) can take it away from you.
If you need help getting started, I recommend checking out sadgrl.online. (More links to resources in the comments section of this post).
I know neocities has been talked about before, especially within my follower circle, but I thought I'd bring it up again for anyone unaware of this awesome platform.

Well that's alright, it's Out of Touch Thursday!!
"not enough people are buying video games because of piracy" perhaps it has to due with the "unfinished game that you have to buy DLC to get basic features for" business model

HELLO???
does the term “content creator” make anyone else irrationally angry?
So I tend to play pretty harmless pranks on my roommate that I know they'll enjoy. Taping a Miku to the ceiling, Guts Man's ass on the door, you know harmless stuff all in pretty obvious places. So imagine my surprise when I feel something weird under my desk and I see THIS
I am always being subjected to spamton ass and apparently this had been there for THREE MONTHS
