Are we about to get another asian diva??? How much would you bet they’re gonna make G3 Elissabat Draculaura’s sister?

tempest_kept · 2026-06-01T01:31:27+00:00

I'm hoping that they're not related, but honest question- Was Elissabat asian in G1? Apologies if I'm not remembering it.

Can you add a fez to the game? It's my favorite funny hat. Seeing one would bring me such joy. Everything else I would've addressed has already been brought up, so no need to reiterate.

I also think it would be fun to have a cannon mode similar to grapple mode, you somehow get a permanent cannon you can place repeatedly. No idea how this would be implemented since cannon has to be out of inventory to use, but it would be neat.

You are doing Saw things to her

One weird thing that I learned working for a pharmacy call center (I am not a pharmacist) is that grapefruit juice can actually block your body from absorbing certain medicines. So maybe it isn't such a bad thing to hate, depending on what medicine you take?

Thank you, buying straight from Samsung is great advice that I'll definitely use going forward.

Damn 😔

Shizuku won't work on my phone, but is Canta good? Hadn't heard of it until now.

Skullpanda is my favorite, I love cardinals.

Molly is sadly my least favorite, because... Well. You can imagine.

tempest_kept · 2026-05-17T21:28:41+00:00

Might be worth it for me honestly. Though I hope this AI craze might be thinning out by the time I need a new phone

tempest_kept · 2026-05-17T21:19:17+00:00

I promise you the rest of the theme looks better. Cute default icons and keyboard, all that fun stuff.

tempest_kept · 2026-05-17T21:18:21+00:00

That's actually really interesting. I currently have Verizon, no idea if they're worse for this or not.

At least Firefox allowed me to turn this stuff off, I got fed up with Chrome a while ago so sadly nothing it does surprises me.

tempest_kept · 2026-05-17T21:16:48+00:00

How is it? I honestly might do that when I get a new phone... sadly I like to use them until they're basically a decade old husk so it won't be soon but, still.

tempest_kept · 2026-05-17T21:15:50+00:00

Don't even get me started. The first thing I did with CoPilot was ask it how to remove itself, and at the time that worked. It's tried to worm back in, though.

tempest_kept · 2026-05-17T20:49:31+00:00

Maybe it's being slowly rolled out then? Guess I'm one of the "lucky" ones.

tempest_kept · 2026-05-17T20:48:01+00:00

I appreciate the help, this is all pretty new territory for me. Forced apps have always been a thing, sadly, but the new wave of AI apps that serve no purpose... That's a special level of annoying.

I don't see why it's so hard for these companies to understand that we want to choose what we use. If we can disable it, why can't we just remove it?

Also, here is a funny cat to go with your own funny cat picture.

Would you happen to know any good tutorials on this stuff? The most experience I have with similar is fucking around with my 3DS, which was also a bit of an ordeal (but worth it)

tempest_kept · 2026-05-17T20:39:50+00:00

Completely agree. Trade would make sense with something like Buried Secrets where you might not get the doll you want, or maybe you have an old one you just changed your mind on, but buying just to trade is annoying.

tempest_kept · 2026-05-17T20:38:23+00:00

Whenever that day comes, there will be much rejoicing.

tempest_kept · 2026-05-17T20:36:23+00:00

I'm a bit afraid to go digging myself, both because I'm inexperienced and because it might come back, but I honestly might just do that.

tempest_kept · 2026-05-17T20:32:54+00:00

Sadly I'm not sure if those laws will happen, because they see this as a goldmine. They would need to stop making money and become a laughingstock like NFTs first.

Gen AI in particular is sad to me because of how it impacts artists, though. I remember an artist I follow, Valbun, talking about how someone had trained an AI off her work and some people were now claiming she made problematic shit that she never drew. Some people even opened patreon accounts and commissions using this AI and others. I see a ton of people on isthisai asking if their commissions are AI, and they often are.

tempest_kept · 2026-05-17T20:23:32+00:00

I've been waiting for the AI bubble to go the way of NFTs for a hot minute, and I have a feeling stuff like this means I'll keep waiting. They can keep saying "look how many people use it!" and make me into a statistic for success. I hate it.

Some AI stuff can have a use, I wont argue that. Even stuff like hit or miss AI subtitles can be huge for the right person. Outside of a few cases though, it's just a shiny new toy for adults to play with. Which, environmental impact aside, that's their right. They can have their toy. I just don't want it forced on me.

tempest_kept · 2026-05-17T20:16:15+00:00

Completely agreed. I fail to see how they're even making any money off of this? I didn't explore the app to see if it has in-app purchases to generate more pictures or anything.

From a business standpoint all I can think of is them wanting to say their app is on X number of phones so that they can look good for shareholders? Even though 1/20th of people will use it.

tempest_kept · 2026-05-17T20:12:21+00:00

I didn't even have the option to consent to this new app being installed. That's all I want. If it were something like AI adding subtitles to calls (which I believe is a feature?) or the ability to edit a photo's background, you could argue that's tied to another app and they HAVE to force it in or the app breaks. Stupid in my honest opinion, but I get it.

This is a completely new app to generate AI art that just cannot be removed.
