Just had a first poke around Fading Echo, which came out this week but seem to have sold approximately nil. Which is terrible, as it's VERY good and very slick so far. A kinda Splatoon-inspired platform action adventure. You can turn into a water-blob form that absorbs elemental effects from liquids

I'm asking my audience for help with an upcoming video. If you are a late-diagnosed autistic person, I would like to know why you think you were not diagnosed in childhood. If you'd like to share, plz respond to the post linked here, so they're all in one place ⬇️ youtube.com/post/Ugkx_e4...

Not only would this mean that primary carers (usually mothers) are banned from public places, but hey, maybe it's not ok to label an entire cohort of marginalised people as "obnoxious"? This was exactly why we had to make this video. Children belong in public space. They're people.

I’m sorry but the only person who should be denied access to the grocery store is this person.

Since the spring of 2023, I have been creating a non-violent art museum in Doom. My goal was to find art that engaged with the themes that informed Doom's creation, while also exploring the possibilities of virtual museum spaces. Please enjoy this museum. Download link below

Meta now lets anyone use your Instagram photos in AI images without your consent. SAG-AFTRA recommends that #SagAftraMembers (and all Instagram users) opt-OUT of Meta’s new AI image generation tool, Muse Image. Take action to protect your likeness.

If you want to avoid AI generations of your Instagram posts without switching your account to private, you’ll have to dig into the app’s settings. Open the Instagram app, tap your profile, and then tap the three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. Then, scroll down to the Sharing and reuse tab. Here is where you should see a section labeled Allow people to use your content on Instagram and with AI features on Meta, with a toggle for Posts and one for Reels.

I don't know who would think this is good news following Obsidian getting obliterated beginning of the week. Who's left over to actually build this (unless you're a freak completely on the contractors/GenAI train). It's like shooting Santa and then saying "Christmas Tomorrow :)"

BREAKING: Obsidian Entertainment is making a big pivot as part of the Xbox restructuring. It has laid off a quarter of its staff, canceled a planned sequel to Avowed, and is now beginning work on a new Fallout game, according to people familiar with the plans www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

always hearing terrible news about that platner guy. at this point i wouldn't be surprised if it came out that he had an actual nazi tattoo on his chest. i bet everyone would immediately cease supporting him to avoid embarrassing themselves, if that happened

do you think the shitheads who told us this dude "appealed to working class sensibilities" will stop and think, for even one god damned second, what it says about them their totemic ideal working class person always turns out to be racist, misogynist pieces of shit?

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.
