Devs, pay attention to who is actually, practically offering support to our laid off colleagues. It’s not the companies, it’s not the ESA, it’s the union, it’s us.

Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off

👇 In reference to that SDCC Avatar Aang slide everyone is talking about. It was a page from an artbook, and the reference to Chat GPT was likely injected by the person who put the book together. Actual artists like Kat who worked on the film have no idea why it says that.

I have no clue why it was on that slide or who put it there, and every member of the crew I worked with is 100% against AI. Every aspect of the animation is handcrafted by real artists and I hope that people don’t use this slide as a reason to detract from how much love and labor went into the film.

heads up for people soon to book for TGS or general Japan trips: money to APA goes to a war crime denying far right nutjob alternate budget chains are Toyoko Inn, Dormy Inn, Route Inn, Daiwa Roynet, and Super Hotel (which do not, as far as I know, do that)

A 2017 viral video alleged that rooms across Japan's APA Hotel chain featured a book, authored by founder Motoya Toshio, denying the Nanjing Massacre. CEO Motoya Fumiko dismissed the backlash, occupancy hit record highs, and the books stayed.

#wolqotd but more towards the player. What class did you intend playinging in the beginning, but ended up going a different route when you reached endgame? What lead to that decision?

If you have a shop with @bigcartel.com watch out for scam messages coming in through your shop's contact form. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK! Forward the message to BC's support so they're aware. The wording and gmail address give it away, but even more so this handy info at the end of every mail lol

"Big Cartel never contacts you through your shop's contact form.

If you receive suspicious messages from someone claiming to be from Big Cartel, forward them to support@bigcartel.com and we'll verify them for you."
