This… Is BGNN

Things you might want to know, for Mar 20, 2023:

• How much sex will you have in Starfield? ‘None,’ says the Australian government — Bethesda isn’t BioWare or CD Projekt Red… I don’t think any of us really need the “arrow in my knee” people trying to wedge overt NPC sexuality into their already thin characterizations. For Bethesda to do sex “their way”, they’d need to systematize it, schedule it, and make it a bodily function like eating and sleeping, which is a can of worms that MicroDaddy would never allow anyone to open.
• I Coaxed ChatGPT Into a Deeply Unsettling BDSM Relationship — No, you asked a probabilistic text generator to give you the most likely response to your thirst-prompts, and it did what it could to distill the scraped stupidity of the general internet into something you might like.
• San Francisco’s Infamous ‘Kink Castle’ Could Become Home to a New Jazz Club — I’m sorry, but that building is forever visually tainted. Show us a photo of it, and we all just think “jizz and gang-bangs”.
• Valheim (Game Preview) Journeys to Console for the First Time Today with Xbox Game Pass — Another game that I completely ignored when it was hot, but intend to play someday.
• AI-imager Midjourney v5 stuns with photorealistic images—and 5-fingered hands — I haven’t found the image generating tools nearly as interesting as their chatbot cousins, but as they become more sophisticated, their siren song will be difficult to ignore.

• Penn Badgley Doubles Down on Divisive Sex Scene Comments — Dear Guy Who Wasn’t Chuck Bass: 1. Maybe don’t take the lead in a show about sexy evil murder if you have a problem with sexy evil murder scenes, champ. 2. Stop using the language of #MeToo to cover the fact that you’re scared of your jealous wife. Sincerely, it’s 2023, and it’s okay to be a woman’s bitch… you don’t have to ramble on about toxic Hollywood when all you really mean to express is “Mommy doesn’t like it.”
• pedro lobo dresses ceramics in ‘kinky’ BDSM gear, challenging taboos and traditions — I have an overwhelming urge to mock this nonsense, but honestly, I really like some of it.
• YouTube TV jumps in price again—it’s now $72.99 per month — So that’s $70+ a month to watch ads. Aside from live sports junkies, who the fuck is paying for this?
• TikTok’s “O Method” Manifestation Technique, Explained — Always fun when I learn something new that makes me feel dumber for wasting the time spent learning it.
• ‘Creem’ magazine gets ‘punished’ for sophomoric ’70s era in BDSM-themed cover — …Creem still exists? …and there are still people willing to purchase a periodical named “Creem”? Wow.
