Maybe with all the money they'll get by promoting gambling for emotes they'll finally be able to fund some accurate market research and the next feature won't be slop. Anyway, our emotes are site wide and don't use predatory practices like FOMO via watch streaks or gambling to get access to them.

Twitch is testing a loot box system for emotes. These Legendary emotes are 'rare versions of global emotes'. You get a Premium Emote Chest when you Gift Subs. You get a Regular Emote Chest when you hit Watch Streaks. Only available on select channels in the US and Germany.

And here was me thinking that the reason people went to streaming sites was to see streamers. If we wanted cloud gaming we'd go check out OnLive... oh wait... Anyway, did you know our featured streamers spot on the front page is random? We give everyone a spot, not just the biggest communities.

Twitch is experimenting with using its front page as an Amazon Luna promotional vehicle, pushing creator discovery down a shelf.

They’re so all in on Gen Ai garbage, I’ve been slowly pushing to just leave the platform entirely these the last few months and this may just be the kick I needed to fully dump Twitch.

“I hope video game workers realize that they should be unionizing!” We’ve been trying for over 20 years. Guess what happens every time we get close? The game industry… like animation, art, VFX/CGI, VO, etc need FAN OUTCRIES in our favor to do it. Without you backing us we can’t make progress.

If you’re on the fence let this be your wake up call. You -can- be a girl. You can do that. You’re allowed to. Don’t let yourself or anyone else get in your way. All you gotta do is accept yourself for who you’ve always been~ 💖

It’s always amusing that cis people still somehow think estrogen makes your voice more feminine and will happily tell other cis people that it does. It doesn’t, at all, by the way. We trans women gotta put work into voice training.

Friendly Reminder: Indie Animation is NOT a competition. Never has and never will be No matter the skill level, production size, popularity, etc., it’s important to support them all the same People are making their own projects without any interferences. That should be celebrated!!!

Repost if $30k would change your life right now

Matt Darling@besttrousers.bsky.social

I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money. Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.

“Play Indie Games!” they say in the replies. But that’s not a real solution. Both Indie games and AAA are using Gen Ai. And no studio has legal obligation to tell you they use Gen Ai. And Steam does not require you to disclose the use of Gen Ai for coding or marketing. Be careful what you buy.

“It’s hard to avoid playing games with Gen Ai in them.” Play old games. Play games from 2008. Play games from 1998. Play games from 1988.
