Nobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it. We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists. Hope that clarifies.

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

My child loves going to the library and checking out a new video game every week. Going digital only eliminates libraries as a way people can access games.

One tip that indie game devs always forget is that when you release your game you have to allocate a space and plenty of time for crying.

"fiction normalizes—" idk abt any of that but I think social media has normalized absolutely batshit behavior and social conventions that are inconceivable to anyone that is actually well-balanced and thriving in the real world and that's a bigger problem than fiction will ever be

I think we’re long past the “ai bad because of stealing” argument and fully in the “ai is also actively and tangibly destroying our planet why are you even trying to use it as an art tool at this point” stage

if you are someone who makes anything, anything at all, with your own real brain and hands, I respect you so so much and am begging you to keep doing it.

fih :3c :p

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

i love making fucked up and evil video games

Think of how many games where the verb is violence. How many games (including the ones nominated for tonight’s BAFTA awards) where you shoot, fight, kill. But when games want to explore the topic of violence in a meaningful way, that’s the issue?

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

corporations co-opting fandom practices was such a dark move imo - instead of fans using their imaginations to produce transformative work and communities, fans became passive consumers entitled to “service”

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

i say all of this because people occasionally come to me asking "what if people online get mad at me for the stories i write?" my answer is: you can't do anything about that. but also, in ten years, it probably isn't going to matter much at all.
