So... my job fired me over some technicalities regarding when I clocked off from a shift. While I'm looking for a new one, I'm looking to try and keep momentum for myself and my partner, so writing commissions are open! I'm currently opening 5 slots, and possibly will do more depending. Thank you!

Oh yeah Peter Molyneux, the ideas guy who always over promised and under delivered. Oh yeah of course he's bet into AI. All that bullshit it right up his alley. Shit he's been lying about artificial intelligence since Black and White

There's simply no excuse for this. Sucker Punch has delivered two back-to-back acclaimed and high selling games. This team should be safe and celebrated. and yet this industry continues to be fucking demonic.

I think artists and sex workers should have a natural allyship. Both of us are often told we should not be allowed to charge for our work if it is at all pleasurable. Both of us are wanted for what we can do, but our work is considered not worth paying for. We should stick together

I don't think billionaires should just be taxed again. They should be be RETROACTIVELY TAXED for the taxes they DIDN'T PAY as a result of the Big "Billionaire" Bill.

It’s really important to note that there is a lot of effort put into making you believe that the battle for the environment has been lost and that there’s nothing more we can do, so you can only sit idly by and watch It’s completely false, there are so many things we can still save

Speaking from my field, environmental law, we actually are making so much progress despite all the news: renewable energies are more affordable than ever before and the technology keeps improving We also DID manage to eliminate the +6, +5, +4 degrees scenarios in 20 years: we need to keep going !!

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

I couldn't choose a color for the suit, so I just picked all of them 😅 was surprisingly pleased with how some of these gradients came out, so I wanted to show them off!!

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

TTGL's eyecatches are one of my favorite things in existence. I love how these four are the only times the artists doesn't exclusively use black for the shadows. One of them was only made because of the voices inside the artists' head, she did NOT wear that bikini in the episode.

I agree with this, but also, regardless of monetary value, it's a display of contempt. If you're aware that people feel hurt by this dumb trend and you join in anyway, it sends the message that you don't care about them. Seems like a fair thing to get upset about.

Kurt@kaatokunart.bsky.social

Not to beat a dead horse but i think people who say the Malfoy trend doesnt give JKR money so who cares need to consider Gacha companies comm artists all the time and theres no link to the game or anything the art itself is a positive promotion

See now we're fucking talking One of the only weapons we wield in this fight is our money and attendance, and if everyone involved with an event says "I'm not going unless you stop using AI" there's only two outcomes: *No AI or No Convention* Conventions are made by and for the community

to me the existential threat posed by AI slop games is less "AI slop games will steal our sales" and more "the onslaught of AI slop and the exhaustion over having to second guess every new game will make people mentally check out from supporting new games at all and retreat to their backlogs"

Depressed Cryptid Ryu reposted

People using AI to reverse engineer games to then turn around and publish clones is straight up theft. Why is anyone pretending otherwise? The only thing genAI is good at making is fucking talentless thieves. Prosecute the lot of them. Sue them to hell.

When most people think of wolves eating, they’re likely to picture a hunt and lots of blood. However, wolves also have a bit of a green thumb. It turns out, they’re part-time gardeners, according to new research. Wolves don’t just devour blueberries. They plant them too. 🌎
