As the person who does most of the VM socials, let me tell you this: bluesky is absolutely the worst platform of the bunch for slapping random adult content warnings on innocent posts to bury them. Would super appreciate if you share the post below like hell, and donate a fiver!

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

When I was a kid, the only Native representation I saw in cartoons was A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special. I made Pow! to show that modern, funny Native characters deserve to be seen too. Watch us on FNX. If you like it, review us on @letterboxd.social and tell your friends!

frustrating that this piracy discourse is the same goddamn thing every time, has been for years, while discussion of exploitation of writers by publishers tends to remain very faint. it feels like this is a frequent steam valve for frustration, a group that can be yelled at without risking jobs.

"i hate writing NPC dialogue i don't wanna do it i need bobot to do it for me buhhhhh" you are like a little baby

All of this transphobic & racist shit in the UK is all bc the Elite HATEs that Britain isn't the colonial power it was once was. They're so bitter that the world is changing for the better, bc they can't control it. Fuck the BBC, fuck the UK Elites. I hope one day queer folks will be free its legacy

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist. No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything. Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine. But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires? No.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

fuck you the memories of a generation lost because of Reagan's homophobia will not be erased i think we should do something in DC that would make david wojnarowicz proud tbh

bro copyright is so good for creators you can make something that's about to be turned into a huge fucking franchise directed by michael bay and some predatory company can take it from you for pennies and lock you out of it with legal threats

How about instead of getting mad that poor people pirate stuff and that could hypothetically damage some artists income (though frankly most people who pirate wouldnt be able to pay anyway) and you get mad that poverty is effecting artists and fight so everyone has needs met.

An argument that doesn't demonize piracy is not an argument against buying stuff and that's such a silly position to believe. I think Piracy isn't bad and that you should buy and support art in particular queer own voice art. These aren't arguments in conflict. If you are able you should supoort.

piracy is neither good nor bad it’s simply a thing that happens in direct proportion to how accessible media is.

"Don't steal books" why are comics people constantly so afraid of piracy? "Use your library instead" I do use my library and I live in a state that is unlikely to ever ban queer stuff but right now tons of books are being removed. Queer art is rapidly being censored. Then there is simply a

"It appears the Creekside Killer has moved onto Hills. Silent Hills..."

So fed up with this bullshit. And cis people, try and imagine for a moment what this constant egregious crap feels like for trans people. This is the kind of shite gay people had to put up with in the 80s when AIDS hysteria seemed to be pushing us backwards

I get that scanlations ≠ licenses, but I do feel that a multi billion dollar industry like manga would figure out a better way to gauge interests. Cause it's really just vibes based atp, & I don't think "buying a manga in a language I can't read" is a valid strategy for most fans

Worth a shot I guess 😓 If you could vote on this, I'd really appreciate it 👉👈 twitch.uservoice.com/forums/31023...

hold my hand. I as an ace person give you permission to be ace, to be sex repulsed, to think porn games are icky and yet still believe games with sexual content should exist. it's okay. you're not invalidating yourself by supporting porn games & the people who make them. it's all forms of expression

A thing I appreciate about SWC is bc of the demons, it's allowed to be both metaphorical & real at the same time. Yes, Duchess is a demon who will kill people who don't love them, but that "killing" also represents failed relationships. It's why people who misunderstand it are so eye-roll worthy

There's a special place in hell for companies that started doing dreadful trend I've seen: Accept cookies or if you refuse, you have to subscribe. Literally fuck off with that stuff.

Rogue sketch I did yesterday - #Rogue / #X-Men / #Marvel / #BRart

I have a friend who lives in Mexico and we talk about art supplies and games that are literally made there being priced for the US market she had had a set of pencils that cost half as much as a month's rent...

I'd also like to add: when many forms of art as entertainment (books, games, etc.) are released internationally, they are frequently priced according to what's affordable in Japan or the US/EU/AU, which means they're relatively expensive in some markets even if they do get an official release there

(Skyrim opening cutscene) what just happened

I'm angry about this. Why? Because kink is kink. But, CSA is not kink. It's abuse. They're trying to either minimalize extreme abuse allegations in the Epstein files by saying the Prince is "kinky," or else they're trying to kink-shame all kink. I care about CSA, not kink.

Santa's Reindeer are flying in again this year! Limited stock will be dropping this Friday @ 3PM EST 🦌🔔 #artshop #christmas #reindeer #ornaments

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖 Hint. Fucking. Hint.

From the Days of Mana specials in Nintendo Power: Katsuya Terada's visions of the world of The Secret of Mana, which, like their illustrations for Link's Awakening, lend the game a darker, more mature vibe akin to the artwork you might see in a Wizardry game.

Stop using AI for placeholder assets. Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else. If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

got these two amazing bronzes by Ottawa sculptor Anna Williams from the She Wolf series

I know things are shitty rn, but there are some good news 🏳‍🌈 www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

There's an essay in me about this very topic. How minorities get the label of activist shoved onto them for simply asking to respected as human beings, is annoying at best and dehumanizing at worst.

Any one of these massive AAA videogame companies could file suit against the 6-piece Chicken McNobody ringleaders harassing their employees, and that they don't is a choice. I said before of goobergate that the industry enjoys having a bunch of unpaid Pinkertons around too much to ever give it up.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Credits are basically a free space. Players will watch them or not. Those who do will come to understand how each person participated. We also credit everyone who ever touched the game in any way. This means for a relatively small team our credits are long. But who cares? Why be stingy with it?

This is your sign btw that you should call Mastercard

elon fucking killed a major piece of not only driving game discussion, but also sheer inherent word-of-mouth advertising. it has no doubt kneecapped many small- and mid-sized titles and i can't even tell what big games are popping off right now unless they have a Little Guy people wanna doodle
