Welp, our game We Are OFK was just banned from Steam in Russia... presumably for queerness.

Hey @playstation.com instead of taking away physical disks, why not consider adding value like allowing me to pair bluetooth headphones to my PS5 or create fucking folders on on the XMB bar?

AIPAC is the biggest source of Republican money in Democratic elections, and now they are making clear they will spend even more to defeat Democrats in November. They advocate for policies the vast majority of Democrats viscerally disagree with. No Democrat should be taking money from AIPAC.

The new Fire Emblem doesn't look horny enough.

'It sounds extremely dismissive to everyone who is using generative AI...' Yes. Good.

I literally just peaked at the Scritchy Scratchy thread on the AP server and the mods are ripping someone apart for asking if gen AI is used in the AP world and other AP worlds they’re interested in playing. Jesus fucking christ something needs to change on that server.

Honestly fuck the Archipelago leadership and moderation team.

The AP moderation team is once again instigating a problem when there was none and then being upset that they had to respond to an issue. (That they caused)

"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo

(Re-uploaded with improved video quality and an error fixed.) Here's the spiral staircase scene from Ys III: Wanderers from Ys across the different versions of the game. For some reason, this scene isn't included in the Famicom and PS2 releases. #Falcom #Ys

My backlog of games watching me fill a cart during a Steam sale

Fun fact: people so often compare the Citizen Sleeper UI layout to Disco but the game’s presentation of text was equally inspired by the elegant Destiny 2 conversation panel that was used extensively through its many seasons.

So, Jack Osbourne has yet to delete or clarify his videos that falsely claim I used AI to write an article. Lots of people have encouraged me to sue him, which as I explain here, isn’t realistic. But I greatly appreciate the support for me and @spitfirenews.com. spitfirenews.com/p/jack-osbou...

Ozzy Osbourne's son falsely accused me of writing an article with AI

My reporting on Andrew Tate triggered him. He still won't correct the record.

It says something that I'm more bothered and annoyed by how there's no official way to consume all the more obscure/unreleased music and albums without botched mastering than the termination of the channel itself. And not seeing people actively protest or call out any of it.

do not do this

This will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act. Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.

You need to get creative. I've got a history paper due, and it's taking forever. I've tried everything I can think of to get it done. I've tried playing video games, napping, complaining about it, nothing seems to work. I'm not gonna give up though. I'm gonna order a sandwich next. Wish me luck.

Youth social media bans are going to deeply harm queer kids who have no other method of understanding that they aren't broken and alone. This wouldn't be the case if fascists weren't hard at work eliminating any and all means of queer media being seen by young people.

only thing i could think of seeing that damn face

Man-eating angels wander the ruined streets of Tokyo. Haruaki searches for the human-turned-angel that he used to love. What will he do when he finds her? Innocent Tears is now here in English! Hacking - @yuvi.app Translation - @snowyaria.goodorevengreat.games Images - @nichetopic.bsky.social

something horrifying has come to me in a vision

Just trying like hell to make it seem like using generative AI to do all the art is okay.

It's so cool how these fucks profit from our work to an obscene degree and then ALSO want to steal it to train the Dunning-Kruger Device with MAYBE the option to opt out. So generous of them. I hate these thieving turds.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.
