Hi all! Kira has been progressively getting worse since discharge, and as I am out of all options financially I have opened a Gofundme as a few have suggested to do. Please share if you can, and thank you so much if you are able to help! (All info on the fundme page) gofund.me/cba3a7bb1

Hi there! (TLDR at end!) I have tried my very best to avoid going down this … Kristy Brodie needs your support for Please Help little Kira Rocover!

if VAR can't intervene for this shit the whole system is truly broken
What’s the fucking call here and why aren’t we reviewing it
heya non cis-male concept artists, share a link to your work! I'm making a list of artists to show my students at university. In particular if you have some work that is messy and shows your workings!
It’s easy to become enamoured with your own potential and save yourself for “bigger things” than put effort into building wonderful experiences for those immediately around you. You don’t get to enjoy your “legacy” because you’ll be dead, so maybe it’s time to focus on where we are today.

See that mountain of entertainment? You can climb it
Paramount Skydance launches Paramount Games Studio, unifying Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media. Its first AAA game announcement is at Summer Game Fest Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra & untitled Star Wars game still in production. Amy Hennig now creative director for Paramount Games Studio
This is incredible isn't it? Half the population of the world.
The US and China, two of the most powerful countries in the world, sit to discuss the future, as they see it. There are no women sitting at this table. Sisters...and I'll continue to say this....Destroy the patriarchy.
My big thing that is going to get me in trouble one day is that I increasingly bristle at the word “fun” - it’s a fine thing for a game to be but very limiting as the end goal for a form of media!

It exists! I interviewed backup dancers, producers, the costume designer, the song’s producers who granted the rights, and so many more who were involved: web.archive.org/web/20240227...
Hard to read major publications when the only article genres are like: - "Is this criminal thing that harms the world bad? We asked the guy doing it" - "Bigotry is warranted if I'm upset about life" - "Stop being poor so loud" and - "What Does It Mean: Debating horrible thing he said very clearly"
That you are giving and not receiving a wedgie is how I know you’re not yet ready to create a typeface
I will never forget @xoxofest.com, despite only attending once. The vibes were unlike anything, and if anything, it's exactly what US games events miss in 2026. XOXO was focused, it had soul, it was challenging and playful - it was the polar opposite of the giant smooth mega-events games has now.
One last thing before we go. Today, after 2+ (or 10+??) years of work, we’re launching XOXO Explore, a complete archive of all eight years of the festival. xoxofest.com
To be able to manufacture misinformation like this would be absolutely fatal for Google's legitimacy two decades ago, but now it's just expected that one of the single greatest information gathering tools ever built has spent billions to self-destruct for 'the shareholders'.

the best thing about making a non-commercial videogame is that you can basically do whatever you want
We’re still hiring someone to come own the video medium for @ngrok.com. This level of unhinged behaviour extremely encouraged.
“Are you asking because you’re considering doing it?” What?! No, no of course not. That would be mad. I’m asking because… because uh…
You cannot convince me this wasn't the golden age of sitting on the couch playing games and talking shit with your friends (yes I was a teenage boy and might still be).
This guy gets it. What a top-tier party game.
Really weird to be scrolling my feed and getting jumpscared by screenshots of my old handiwork.
Next part of the video grind: editing Nebula's auto captions hahaha
3 stars is good and if you say it's bad because it's a 6/10 when converting to a 10-point scale, that's because you're using a 10-point scale which is an inferior metric of appraisal
3 stars is good actually
mm. While reading this i am thinking about a piece that @mariaa.bsky.social linked yesterday to by @tarakiyee.bsky.social on the Audrey Lorde quote that "the masters tools will never dismantle the master's house", and it's original context. tarakiyee.com/on-the-enshi...

It does very seriously feel like this will be a landmark case for the games industry and for online harassment more generally. The document Alyssa links here is also the first legal discussion of ChatGPT user logs I’ve ever read. I urge you to open and read the attached letter on the quoted post.
I've been quiet about my legal case as I take it very seriously and wish to keep it as separate from my everyday life as possible, but I wanted to give you all an update that provides some context for my commentary. 🧵 (1/10) kusklaw.sharefile.com/share/view/s...
Good of Bluesky to be bringing so many underprivileged folks into the atprotocol ecosystem today.
The AI Industry Is Traumatizing Desperate Contractors in the Developing World for Pennies
AI is propped up by a global sweat shop operation, where exploited workers polish the software for wealthy corporations in the west.

“There's a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don't look too closely).”
I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.
