So here you go ... Thank you again to my friends at both BioWare and EA. To even dream in your sandbox was a privilege. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBO8...

For if you do want to call someone or something out online but don't want to boost the algo, here's some pointers: bsky.app/profile/pret...

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

Weird deer 18, 19, 20.

A bottom up, local-based non hierarchical small-democratic organization unless a majority of an obscure 25 person national board doesn't like it and throws the decision out

It is also, obviously, ethically grotesque, just a fucking evil thing to do, which is perhaps something we ought to start caring about with regards to elected officials.

not to mention Ibn al-Haytham, who’s called the world’s “first true scientist” and def deserved that title for his work as a polymath, he was the equivalent of Isaac Newton but 600 years before Newton, Galileo cited him, Kepler and Descartes did too

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

you simply don't have to spend your life arguing with these people. they are receiving the punishment they deserve by having to live as themselves.

"being anti-AI is ablest" is the kind of argument that does not require trying to explain why it's wrong, it's ok to just say "no it isn't and also fuck you"

🫩 don’t make me tap the sign.

Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

my daughter gets so excited to get candy, just like any kid. and it pisses me off that she's getting worse candy than I did at her age. just feels like another way she's being taught to expect less from the world

I've been taking pics of dumpsters and adding my own raccoon drawings to them.

Officials recommend voters use ballot drop boxes whenever possible and say that voters intent on mailing their ballots should do so early, to ensure that they are counted in the event of postmark delays at the U.S. Postal Service. Keep up with the latest election news at OregonLive.com/politics

Spent the afternoon making this spooky room in picocad2 Realized two hours in that I can flip UVs #picocad2 #lowpoly #gamedev #pixelart

There was this time Cleveland did a balloon release event and the tv news portentously declared "the Mistake on the Lake no more!" and then when the wind turned unexpectedly, the balloonfall became a disaster and the airport shut down and there were fatalities. Anyway this event has now been outdone

"amplify your people" is 100% the best strategy

She's not just "a congresswoman", she's the co-author of the biggest brazilian worker rights bill of the decade, if not of the century (it eliminates the possibility of having job positions with 6 work days per week)

MIWHT: The Calendar had a bigger opening weekend than Digger (don't check that) but it will still be open for 10 more days and I still have to tell you about it.

If they manage to cram in every feature that the store page promises, this free community-made remaster could be better than 90% of official, professional attempts. Fingers crossed for both this project and Arkane. They're going through it right now.

The dragon will retrieve any goblins who accidentally fall into the cave. They are very gentle.

WE DID IT. I CANT FUCKING BELIEVED WE DEFEATED USA WE DEFEATED A COUP WE DEFEATED META WE DEFEATED EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO SILENCE BRAZILIA PEOPLE LULA WON GUYS. THE PEOPLE WON.

Got a little annoyed at a tool again - a lot of blender addons trying to add WASD style movement were 1,500+ lines and getting it wrong. Unreal-like movement with panning, WASD nav and camera smoothing. controls configurable. GPL.💖 #blender #unrealengine #gamedev 🔗 codeberg.org/shaderwitch/...

Lula Goes HARD

I’m very critical of Tina Kotek and people need to vote for her anyway. There’s no ranked choice in this race. The governor has the power to call in the national guard, or affect voting. That alone is too important. Christine Drazan is too dangerous. Hold your nose and do it.

I know OP already knows it, but to anyone else wondering: look up Andre Janones. He's the one you'll want to study and emulate.

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

THE ANSWER IS YES

The “How People Make Crayons” episode is one of my favorites.

Something I wish more people would realize.

A vision of the future of games where everything is slop is a grey goo scenario for the medium. Anyways, here's a thread of demos to check out to counter all the negativity. It's important not to just be against AI, you need to be for something just as vocally, you need to be pro art!

It's always someone else's idea, quickly and cheaply cloned. I'm sick to my eyeballs of endless AI anomaly hunt games. If AI is enabling something fresh, enabling new concepts and ideas, then I haven't seen it because that tiny spark of creativity is being drowned out by an endless ocean of slop.

First gut reaction this is a fascinating look at what these users *don't* value: e.g. Rs don't value authentic communication and will outsource, Ds don't value actually talking to people and finding out what they think, would rather represent view of LLMs thanks I hate everything

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.
