O que uma carga policial nunca poderá calar é a voz de um povo que legitimamente pede o direito a ter uma casa que consiga pagar. E a isso, o governo e a direita não conseguem ter resposta. O bastão é a saída fácil.

For fuck's sake, these massive assholes at Xbox who are all eager to dump half a billion dollars on Kojima's hollywood pipe dream can't find some change under the couch cushions to keep Arkane going? Seriously??

Found the source, he's gone on to also expand on his thoughts in interviews. Cannot wait to see Wildwood 😄

‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

Uh. I guess who needs the last day of the conference, everyone is leaving anyways, might as well ditch it. *next year* Attendance is real bad on Thursday, everyone's leaving, might as well ditch it and make it a 3 day event! *year after that* Wednesday sucks man, everyone's just leaving...

Can we please start to see companies boycotting epic? Moving away from unreal, not releasing on EGS. Move your games, move your audience. Tim needs to be put in his place, this cannot continue with him like this.

The thing is, I've been saved from completely wrecking multiple times, 'cause at that exact time I was a guaranteed splat, the camera suddenly swung for a coincidental takedown and the invencibility and autopilot engaged. Like, more than once. Sooooooo yeah maybe I'll let the camera do its thing.

KZ@kzxcellent.live

Star Wars Galactic Racer having takedowns like Burnout is cool but I gotta turn off the cutaways because this game is too fast for them to spin the camera for them. Glad they have it as a toggle.

A time-off request for one hour???!? What kind of nightmarish work environment is Rockstar running, wtaf!?

The question is not whether I should kick the puppy. The puppy is innevitably getting kicked. The question is whether I can kick the puppy in a sustainable, inclusive and empowered way. How can people be supported in kicking puppies for good? Let’s stop the puppy kick gatekeeping already.

Happy Hangul Day! It's a Korean holiday honoring the best and easiest alphabet in the world! Everyone in Korea gets the day off work to contemplate it, but it only takes fifteen minutes to learn! So today, learn to read Korean in 15 minutes!

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

This was an extremely hilarious email to get from bsky! It's my list, for my use. There's no way to make a private list, and the only way you'd know you've been added to it is if you subscribe to a bot that tells you. But somehow my personal list is offensive to others and they CAN make it private.

shana 😋 (andreia gaita)@shana.spoiledcat.com

Speaking of genai lovers coming out of the woodwork, your threads bring out so much garbage that I had to create a list just to keep track of them all! Then the other day bsky emailed me saying that they've hidden it because it "may violate community guidelines". Someone got upset!

The best part of it is, I can still use the list! I can add people to it, and if they're subscribed to a bot that notifies them when they get added to lists, they'll still get notified! Nothing has changed! Except that now when I look at *my* list I get this hilarious notice. Amazing, just the best.

I did want to have this list private. It's basically a note-taking list for me, since I can't add notes to accounts to figure out why I've muted or blocked them. So, hey, cool, thanks bsky, that's a useful feature! Could we have that feature available for general use instead? That would be nice.
