I think that people don’t comprehend that the state has been unapologetically beating young people’s asses basically nonstop & charging us with massive crimes for protesting since at least Occupy Wall Street & growing up like that has a chilling effect on the way people engage with democracy

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

I just can't fucking get over this. I started an entire goddamn company because it's so impossible to find good references of clothing these days, and meanwhile people who have no idea what they're talking about are telling skilled craftspeople to do their job with slop. FUCK.

If you need really high quality reference material of clothing from any historical era and you want to make sure the data is captured by human people who want to use it ethically, @render-ready.com is literally right here This is a bad excuse for lazy craftsmanship

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Welp, I'm back My pc died and I had to switch and I never came back here. But since there's gonna be more shit AI on the other place, I guess I need to keep this account alive So hello!

My thoughts on Generative AI

In case you were like me and interested in Sims competitor, I'm def not picking up Inzoi now. Shame.

Canadians, please put the pressure on @mark-carney.bsky.social to replace our healthcare leadership with individuals who take airborne transmission of viruses seriously. This will be essential as the next pandemic is looming

Great Barrington Declaration co-author Jay Bhattacharya has been confirmed as our NIH director. He is a professional merchant of doubt, an anti-vax adjacent misinformation peddler, and completely unqualified to run—let alone work for—the agency. It’s a dark day for our republic.

Walker Bragman@walkerbragman.bsky.social · last yr.

Too often when we talk about the Great Barrington Declaration, we treat it as though it was purely the product of a right-wing dark money group. But a key Trump COVID adviser helped organize the conference out of which it emerged—a detail that we too often overlook.

This is so fucking cool!!

I built a Playstacean!

Masking in healthcare facilities should NEVER HAVE ENDED, measles or no measles.

I wake up and check on Twitter and it's not working. Come on here to confirm that the ketamine addict probably fucked shit up because he's incompetent and also because people aren't happy that Columbia handed one of their students, Mahmoud Khalil, to ICE and the fascists in the White House.

The fucking clueless libs on this platform are making me lose the little patience I have left You don't engage with actual reality, so stay out of all discourse ffs

Look at these fucking performative clowns. Let's show signs to the fascists, I'm sure that'll work They're fucking useless

As clear a sign as any that congressional Dems either don’t fully grasp or are incapable of confronting the constitutional crisis.

Since Western news is not covering it: Israel has now openly stated it is continuing its genocidal starvation policy in Gaza, while the concentration camp population is in the middle of Ramadan. Israel won't stop murdering until every child & adult in Gaza is dead. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Fears of ‘famine, chaos’ in Gaza as Israel cuts off all aid during Ramadan

Netanyahu says new weapons will help ‘finish the job’ as Israel blocks all ‘goods and supplies’ from reaching Gaza.

The Covid pandemic accelerated this. It supercharged the idea that there are entire groups of people who are not worthy of protection. Not worthy of life. Acceptable losses. If we don’t start acknowledging that and changing the narrative, the hate and division will only continue to grow.

Naomi Klein@naomiaklein.bsky.social · 2y ago

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness." Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

WELP… an unexpected graduation. Night School will not be renewing my contract as planned and I am now immediately looking for work! I’m a game writer/narrative designer with 5+ yrs and Lead experience. Long-term, short-term, in-house, consultation… anything! Let’s talk! 💖 annacwebster.com

What demos are you guys playing during Steam Next Fest? I've played a bunch and I'm making a thread on Twitter about all the demos I'm trying, but I'm too tired to redo it here. I'll most likely post about my faves once I'm done

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

I'm so fucking angry at things like this. The rise of ableism and this obsession with trans people is part of the rise of fascism and people ignored it because it was inconvenient. This affects so many people and it's just cruel for the sake of being cruel Fuck this fascist government

Mallory Moore@sexabolition.blog · 2y ago

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... The end result of this is trans people can't travel to the USA without the risk of being permanently banned from entering the USA on grounds of "gender fraud". Already know trans folks in high tech fields who will be cancelling plans to give talks in America.

Tanya is brilliant at thinking about the player and fan perspective in writing, and what makes these things joyful to play. Her expertise from several games mediums helped immensely. Hire her!

Here’s ways to support in the interim. My Patreon is so old, I still have a $1 tier. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I'm playing the demo right now and it's a really fun game and you should definitely try out the demo

Wander@wanderbot.bsky.social · 2y ago

Man, Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 has the absolute perfect flavor of humor for me. It's just that right level of anything goes random where everything's completely silly and stupid, but never breaks its narrative flow while doing so. Plus you unlock abilities by being absolutely unhinged.

I hate what never ending corporate greed is doing to our industry... It sucks that this has become a regular occurrence in our industry. So many talented people have their lives fucked over by these greedy assholes.

Mary Kenney@marykgames.com · 2y ago

Fuck me; I’m so sorry, everyone affected by the WB mess. You all deserve better.

I won't be throwing my hat in the ring for her future studio Seeing how she went from shitting on men who abandon their sick partners to saying she's happy a disabled person is sick and she hopes they stay stuck at home forever Not an ally or a progressive Call is coming from inside the house

Mask bans kill disabled people. It’s a eugenics tool. By others not masking in solidarity, you’re saying your comfort and convenience is more important than our lives. Abled comfort and convenience do not outweigh disabled lives and safety. Does your “we keep us safe” include disabled people?
