Once again, @altstream.online is looking PRETTY good right now...

OpenAI and Twitch are teaming up to see what developers can build for the Twitch community with AI. The top five will be featured at Twitchcon.

Outta my sight, scrub

I have been annoyed by having to ask "Wait, AM or PM?" for the last time. I am finally switching to a 24-hour clock like most intelligent people of the world. With as many people as I hang out with internationally, I'm surprised I haven't done this sooner.

I would gladly join, but it would interfere with a public project I'm working on and I respect the anonymity of the DAS team. I totally encourage people to join though, I make submissions to them semi-regularly and respect them a lot!

Hi everyone! We're looking for new members to join DAS! :) Please fill out this form if you're interested and we'll get back to those that we feel would be a good fit for the team. Thanks! -E forms.gle/2EBmttsLVw8n...

Just removed Future? No Thanks! from my wishlist. The dev admitted to using AI help in coding during the last 99% of development. If you make brownies with even a hint of dog poop in them, even if they use the highest-quality ingredients, they're still dog poop brownies. bsky.app/profile/moll...

We're currently sitting at a 120+ pre-saves on Kickstarter! If we hit 200 saves I will do a big bonk run in Dark Souls 3. I may even add a secret reward tier 👀 Pls click through & save the page it's free & tells KS to boost me on launch possibly! www.kickstarter.com/projects/thr... #booksky 💙📚🌈

I'm used to folks writing stories about my existence as a disabled nonbinary person. For once I tell my own stories, in way that is true to me. Poetry was my first language & continues to be a home for my soul. In an age of cruelty be kind & support a dream. www.kickstarter.com/projects/thr...

We are launching my first ever poetry book Nov 3! We're at 100+ pre-saves would be amazing to hit 200 before we go live! It's free & it tells Kickstarter we're a book worth promoting! Support a disabled enby. 💜 #writer #indieauthor 📚🌈

This really sucks for Mass Effect and Dragon Age fans, but for some reason I feel like I'm the only person on the internet thinking "Good, now they are free from EA and can start their own projects." Knowing EA, they probably have some brutal 10-year noncomps, though.

BioWare statement

If you're dealing with any internet fuckery today, this is probably why. I'm just glad it's getting fixed quickly. Steam is already down, expect other sites to follow, but they'll be back shortly.

officially in the era of: “oh, you developed your video game without AI?” “10/10, GOTY!” 🙌🏻🎮😭

With Steam Next Fest going on this is a good reminder that I am a curator over there. Focusing on games that I find engaging, unique, that tell a good story. I'm curating game lists with accessibility options too. No gen AI games! steamcommunity.com/groups/pumpk... #indiegames

Hiya folks, it's me Jinx Peregrine a snail vtuber on Twitch! I would like to start recommending some games, so to begin I'll start a group and a curator page. This is an inclusive chill place for folk...

"The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: AI voice over for missions and some promotional art just fine tuned with AI." You made a whole game! And I'm not gonna buy it because you couldn't figure out some voice over and promo art!

Hihi friends! I'm live now on a Twitch alternative site, AltStream! Currently streaming: Just Chatting ✧˖°. Watch here: https://altstream.online/dbrivera55 #AltStream #LiveStream

Okay, this is something I can definitely get behind. Anti-AI and surveillance, ethical advertising, no need for algospeak, and built-in tools for supporting creators directly! Go toss them a dollar or two! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hav...

Haven: Better Instagram & YouTube, to Stop AI & Surveillance

Social media that prevents Big Tech & AI from stealing your art, your biometrics, and your privacy. We're replacing Insta and YouTube.

I've been having so much fun lately over at AltStream (by @altstream.online) and I thought "man, we gotta get @sery.codes over here for when they get bot access running!" No seriously, AltStream + Serybot together would be a huge win for us all. ❤️

Twitch Sponsorship AI "Campaign Assist" is now fully implemented and will warn you in the Activity Feed if you mention things like Explicit Language, Alcohol, Drugs, politics, and other issues when doing Twitch's low-paying sponsorships.

Had a chance meeting with Ashe from @altstream.online today. Really promising platform. Signed up immediately and I'm getting my profile set up now. Built-in pronouns, Kofi and Bluesky integration! Definitely check it out, and tell them RabidDuckie sent you! altstream.online

can't take "LLMs are people" discourse seriously when we haven't even convinced everyone that all people are people.

While the prospect of Adobe getting its software suites copied by vibe-coded apps is hilarious, AI still sucks and open-source alternatives have existed for years, if not decades. I think I've been using GIMP since uh... the late 90s?

I love this. Good on House House for taking a principled stand. I wish more companies would do this. #FreePalestine

Hmm. This is really interesting. I would have loved for it to be true, but the whole thing about traffic on the internet going silent from the lack of Russian bots after the Yandex bombings is very likely a hoax, and is being turned into propaganda as I write this. russianbots.america2.news

People that support crap like this will tell me "Get used to not having anything new to play," as if there aren't already more good games out there that can be played in a single lifetime. I don't need anything Epic puts out, including UE6, thank you. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Good morning 🪶

So I was watching Epic with some friends and I kept giggling at how the phrase "600 men" kept coming up in the songs. Inspired, I waited, biding my time for the sinkings and finally belted out "SIX HUNDRED NAKED SAILORS DROWNING IN THE WATER AT HADES' RANCH." The laughter was powerful. I loved it.

"A poor person is expected to justify every meal, every purchase, every moment of pleasure, while wealth itself is rarely subjected to comparable moral scrutiny." That the rich "earned it" is no excuse when those earnings come at the exploitation and subjugation of others.

There Is No Correct Way to Be Poor

Poverty is not a moral failure, and survival should not depend on obedience, productivity, or proving that you have suffered correctly. Poverty policing protects class hierarchy by scrutinising the poor while leaving concentrated wealth and power largely untouched.

I have really enjoyed the Silent Hill stickers that @queenriot.bsky.social has been putting out lately. Just awesome work. (also paging @nubzombie.bsky.social again)

I ignored the heavily clickbait title and read the article. Capcom is basically using AI as glorified spellcheck in their programming. Between dropping Mega Man because I realized Inafune is a massive PDF file (look up the changes he insisted be made to Roll in Marvel vs Capcom) and this, I'm done.

‘A Future Where We Create Games Together With AI’ — Capcom Announces Plans to Transform the RE Engine Into an AI-Generation Game Engine

Resident Evil and Street Fighter developer Capcom revealed some big changes coming to its RE Engine, which they plan to gradually improve and transform into an "AI-generation game engine."

Please vote for this if you can! Right now Shouts are unusable even for streamers like me who do want to use them, because we risk alienating community members who cannot turn the notifications off. Please help make Shouts an actually usable feature!
