I don't normally post stuff like this on my social media, but I'm Desperate and am in need of help. Hi there, my name is Katra (25, She / Her) and I'm getting kicked out of my parents' house at the start of next month and desperately need a place to move to (Preferably in the Chicago area). 1/3

We just want to make games. We just want to be treated humanely and paid fairly to do it. This is somehow seen as a problem.

Yes! I’m so in favor of regionalisms just generally: grocery chains, dairy suppliers, architectural styles, accents … the great homogenization of everything is so damn boring! I love it when details of a place are unique and communicate “you are HERE” as opposed to “you could be anywhere 🤷🏻‍♀️”

You know what I think could help revitalize shopping malls? To regionalize them. When people travel, one of the first things they like to do is visit the malls. But there's nothing more boring than going to a brand new exciting city & seeing the same stores, food & offerings that you're used to

Playstation ending physical games will be permission structure for other platforms to do the same. It will only lead to less in what you can own, companies controling it forever after purchase, further destroy more retail and job infrastructure, everything will get worse. I'm so mad I could scream ☹️

This is genuinely upsetting. I want physical discs with actual data on it. I want to be able to dust off a 20 year old console and be able to revisit the thing I paid for. 🏴‍☠️if we go full digital, media preservation is the correct response

Sony makes it official. No more physical Playstation games as of 2028. This is, no exaggeration, likely to be the single most anti-consumer, choice-limiting, destructive-to-the-medium decision in the entire history of videogames. A tragedy bordering on a crime. kotaku.com/sony-ending-...

I implore you. Like things. I don't mean to hit an engagement button on social media sites. I mean enjoy stuff. Don't be beige. Cringe is a manifestation of internal fear and other's condiditoning shame for no reason. It's bs. Be weird.

people really need to understand that it's okay for things to end media doesn't need to be perpetual, that's where we end up with 729471 mediocre simpsons seasons and marvel films

‘The Amazing Digital Circus’ creator Gooseworx says she’d “probably not” make a Season 2, even if given the chance: “I’m tired.”

Being a small business owner has never been on my bingo card, and I resent the fact that it is forced to be there

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

Cafeteria food has really gotten better since I last been there. There’s even an ice cream and bubbly tea machine too!!?!

HAPPY FRIDAY TO EVERYONE WHO HATES SLOP

Made a little poster/flyer for the no ai protest coming up June 27th. Had a lot of fun drawing all the little guys in the crowd ☺️ #noai

Cleared round 2, Authenticity in commercials! This one means a lot more to me than I expected to. Commercial is not my forte and authenticity is one of my least trained skills. I dug up the one time I took a commercial class from 3 years ago to brush up,

So uhhhhhh I’m not allowed to buy sketchbooks or paper anymore

omg

NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:

'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!' You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:

Dear god I am so fed up with Instagram and Meta platforms. All I did was add ”on hiatus” to my profile and that got me flagged for suspension. At least this time I was able to get it back,

Ahh yes, I should keep up on my Bluesky as well. Excited to have made it through the first round of @redscythe.com’s The Shortlist games! Thank you again to @juneyoon.actor for organizing such a fun activity and @marisaduran.bsky.social for the feedback.

New pic, who dis? The rare one good photo of me that ISN’T from a cosplay photoshoot

Laugh Track v1.5 released. This fixes a few typos and adjusts the end credits to add the name of our next game~ This will likely be the last update unless a bug pops up. We're full steam ahead on our next project! But please share Laugh Track with friends, it's free and fun and we're proud of it.

Guillermo del Toro won Oscars for his fishman banging movie. You can win awards for channeling your pure, undiluted horniness. If only you'd accept it and put the work in, not hand it to a soulless machine to do for you.

There's a screenshot going around of authors admitting to AI use and one of them appears to write hardcore monsterfucking fics and this makes me sad. If you're not writing monsterfucking fics for the sheer, genuine love of the game then what the hell are we even doing here?

Men are using Meta AI glasses to secretly film women at beaches, shops, on the street & on nights out. They then post these clips online where they receive a barrage of misogynistic abuse. I’m campaigning to make this behaviour an offence. Women deserve to feel safe in public spaces.

Smart glasses are 'an invasion of privacy' - Meta's are selling better than ever

The biggest tech firms are set to sell millions of smart glasses despite growing privacy concerns.

Actual boomer posting. This person is clearly experiencing amnesia because I grew up on Newgrounds dot com pure brain rot. I have brain rot that 0.1% of humanity will remember. Erik The Juiceman, Ark and Kerrigan, the Clock Crew and the Lock Legion, etc

the 2000s were the opposite of brain rot. we were pirating music on limewire for our mp3s, jailbreaking iphones, and coding our myspace profiles

One of the most important moments I had early in my career is when I asked an actor(ess) I respected about how important social media was, & they replied: “Who f***ing cares? You know why the colleagues I know aren’t posting on socials? Because they’re busy WORKING. Acting will always matter most.”

I still think it’s weird that some small projects want you to post your VO auditions openly on social media. Like… yeah, I don’t wanna do that. Just feels like you want folks to make a bunch of free social media posts with your hashtag as a marketing push.
