I can’t believe I almost forgot to post this. Incredible Moogle Furby at GATEway FATE.

Let them have the damn candy

anybody else just like... tired

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

Man this PHP vulnerability is serious

THAT’S the wand people have been using???

we cannot co-exist with people like this. we either find a way to excise them, or we let them choke us with their ignorance.

oooh he's kinda smooth with it

Hello miss FFXIV Garuda. How are you. Full and spicier version to enjoy: www.patreon.com/Shubbabang/p...

Encouraged by stream to post my fursona I drew up a while ago. Her name is Shugar 👉👈

Another classic, not sure if I've already posted this one here.

This time!!!

Fun fact, Laika movies very rarely make their budgets back at the box office, but they keep putting out bangers entirely because they have the one good rich boy in the entire ecosystem.

I had an incredible high school teacher whose words feel so relevant today. Paraphrasing (cuz it was years and years ago) If you want a strong indicator of the health of a society, look at how that society values its artists.

I understand this reads like a meme but 'video games' aren't as profitable as 'colorful gambling'. It's way more profitable to make garbage with lootboxes 10 thousand skins and gacha than to make narrative/gameplay heavy video games that move people in some way.

eternally grateful for artists who draw women shaped like a brick so I can look at them and go "wait i could dress like that"

The one thing I will advocate for now is that all things considered if you plan on playing Mass Effect or Dragon Age for the first time after seeing the news but do not own those games already you might as well just go ahead and pirate it because EA does not deserve your money. Also valid for Sims.

Former BioWare Senior Writers Mary Kirby (Varric, Vivienne, Lucanis) and Sylvia Feketekuty (Liara, Josephine, Emmrich) and Sarah Hayward (Former BioWare Cinematic Director) have found a home at North Mist with many others in our network.

BioWare was not closed because their games were queer, or bad, or rushed, or too ambitious or anything else. They were closed because EA is trying to raise their bottom line by a couple percentage points and that always comes at the expense of the people who's labour is already being exploited.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

It would be lovely if the video games industry would let the people who make the games buy food

I usually check out as many games as possible in Next Fest, but the tidal wave of AI trash has beaten me Non-AI indie devs please post your games below and I'll check em out instead Also @steampowered.com PLEASE add an option to filter out AI games in searches. It's killing discoverability #gaming

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

EA's closure of BioWare is transparently a vile move to shutter the studio that made by far their queerest titles. In the wake of this, I implore you: MAKE MORE QUEER ART. Make it trans. Make it horny. Make it scary. Make it loving. Make it with every inch of yourself. Flood the world with it!

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
