RIP- ELECTRONIC ARTS (1982-2026) Today EA is permanently delisting its stock from the market, following the sale of all its stock to the Triumvirate of Evil. From now on 100% of EA's profits will directly finance Saudi Arabia's regime and Jared Kushner's deals. Needless to say: not with my money.

NOT EVERYTHING IS AI SOME THINGS ARE JUST BAD LET THINGS JUST BE BAD I legit would like more poorly written, poorly drawn, poorly whatever pierce of art and less AI. At least they tried.

If you're scared about being the only person wearing a mask, I can tell you that most people do not care. I've been masking for the past 6 years. I've travelled to several different countries in that time. I've never had Covid and I've endured a handful of snarky comments at most. Be brave.

If you haven't been masking, give it a try. What do you have to lose? Just wear one in crowds and on planes, trains, and buses. Find a style that fits, so you don't futz with it. You don't have to get sick all the time.

this is absolutely the case. it’s all i hear—& don’t hear—when i hand out free masks at these tables, from my bag at events, or frankly just wearing a mask in public; the trauma simmers in pointed stares & silences until someone, something (my mask) gives permission for it to come out.

I'm not sure if this is helpful but I think covid was a trauma that we were never allowed to recover from. It was just like somebody flipped a switch one day and was like alright back to normal but things aren't normal and every new hardship no matter how minor is still adding weight to a heavy load

i've talked about this before in so many ways because it comes up constantly in my daily life; when you are a silence breaker—even in a silent way, by just wearing a mask—folks feel they're given permission to break theirs. the acting as-if, the pretending, is a weight many feel they carry alone.

sure do love having to essentially be stuck not being in society now bc this was the outcome, as someone immunocompromised who has shit lungs to begin with. still wear an n95 if I leave the house. it's obvious downplayers won when even the onc/hemo center I go to has no staff wearing masks.

What I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.

the way masks are forgotten, eschewed, if not outright derided is imo bc of this same silence, denial. it shouldnt be taboo to acknowledge the harm SARS2 caused, but doing so means acknowledging the ways it continues today, which would mean acknowledging YOU are implicated in changing how things are

also: a lot of what i’m saying in this thread is what i was talking about in the two videos of mine i link below, especially the second one recorded after a doing a free mask table at an event with diverse attendance (in all manners of the word, age, ethnicity, etc) in gardena, ca.

GUYS GUYS OMG GUYS!!!! id-daemon, genius that released smd files for blender allowing you to recreate characters with custom heads (companions, Solas etc) in blender, released a new tool! Now we can recreate your Rooks and npc's that don't have custom heads, like Felassan (!!) in #blender too! 😊

Dragon Age Veilguard [Custom Characters] tools

Tools allow to export custom player head from Character Creator, and any NPC with custom head like Felassan. There are 300+ head_preset.ebx files in the game for such NPCs.For brief usage see readme.t...

Back in my day (shakes old lady fist), 'don't like, don't read' meant something. In fact, it meant a great deal to the fic cmty in particular. This covers headcanons and interpretations on characters, too. Ppl spend way too much time policing how others enjoy & perceive media, and it's exhausting.

Today we’re shipping a HEAVILY requested feature— Comments. On. Main. Say goodbye to the days of draft-only comments. Now you and your collaborators can leave comments right smack in the main doc. 🥵

An Ellipsus document populated with comments.

I keep hearing it said that it is important to understand that many people still have not gotten over Covid-era lockdowns, but whenever I say that it is important to understand that Covid is still here many people tell me to just get over it already.
