This means a complete cut off from the Western backed financial system btw. No bank account, credit cards, investments, retirement funds, limited travel, and other restrictions are the immediate impact. The US does this regularly and it is essentially a civil death sentence.

vince gilligan making a show entirely about lesbian loneliness but not dedicating even a single frame to the carol and zosia sex scene is the most himedanshi coded thing he has ever done

i asked this of my canadian followers yesterday, and i’ll ask again today. can you please sign this petition? it is a petition through the house of commons, not a third party, and the more eyes (and signatures) they have on it, the better.

seeing some reports saying RAM shortage could last til 2028

Trans Char Aznable wouldn't "come out" she would show up somewhere someday as a mysterious blonde beauty named Cinco Benis having already fully transitioned. She'd say something about how the great man Char Aznable has died, how tragic, but humanity must move on. Honestly iconic of her

I wonder how much the current big AI push in game dev is from how long dev times are, given the 45% against ai writing last year vs the almost 80% now. A lot of the ai games releasing now would’ve started development back when Dalle was novel and the ethical concerns weren’t common knowledge.

HOP ON NIGHTREIGN 2 - FORSAKEN HOLLOWS #eldenring

devs being all "everyone else is doing it" wrt gen ai is making it very easy decision to just go thru all the really cool older video games in my backlog

I like this guy in Pluribus

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.

important to note that "1 in 10" here refers to 84 children. in all of the UK. a country with a population of approximately 12 million children. i have chaperoned field trips with more children than this

Everyone is more or less okay with it” dude you make people emigrate to work there because you don’t do remote work, they risk having to change countries if they disagree with it

Divinity going into early access is going to be a real shitshow because they're annoyed by the feedback about not wanting GenAI in the game now, 2 hours after the bloomberg interview, just wait until they have to sift through thousands of pages of feedback about taking it out.

Love reading this and seeing: - Minimal efficiency gains - Devs are generally against it - Seems like the practical application is nothing that the staff care about, they're just being told to use it - And most importantly, it's just offloading brainstorming which is a juvenile application at best

Hey everyone going WELL TIME TO PLAY MORE FORTNITE TO HUNT DOWN PEOPLE WEARING HARRY POTTER STUFF No. Stop playing Fortnite. They're partnering with Rowling and Harry Potter in 2025, with full knowledge of what that decision means. Stop supporting them. Stop playing the game.

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

realizing I'm built wrong when everyone reacted with disgust or awe at the sex and gore in the Divinity trailer but I just sat there with a smile on my face, unaffected, patiently waiting to see gameplay and getting frustrated that it never showed up

"youre a binary trans woman you're not challenging gender or breaking stereotypes" im getting my penis turned into a vagana

"tyrannosaurus rex" is kinda one of the craziest called shots of all time if you think about it some dude in 1905 was like 'this was definitely the most badass dinosaur so I will name it as such' and 120 years of research and new discoveries keeps proving him right.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

the problem for transphobes is that at this point nearly everyone has met or at least interacted with a trans person and figured out that they're just people trying to live their lives. this is why they want to ban trans people from existing in public at all costs

It’s fine that your SSD or RAM failing is going to be a car repair-level event for your finances within the next year or so. That’s a decent way to live

i believe people when they say linux has gotten better in the last few years. what i'm skeptical of is that linux Guys have improved. i will not use an OS where i'm at high risk of someone calling me stupid for not liking some aspect of the experience. i must be allowed to hate the computer

a 7 lane highway would go so fucking hard right here

I think about this tweet every day

"Forcefem fantasies are unethical," is such a funny thing to say when we live in a society that forces people to grow up as the wrong gender and is criminalizing the alternative

I just remembered that GenAI audio summaries is how Canada's AI minister Evan Solomon gets his news. It's hard not to be ranty about this stuff when the people at the top are wilfully blind to flaws with this technology that the rest of us can see so clearly. macleans.ca/technology-3...

That's not how awards work. There's a reason people legitimately say it's an honour to be nominated

Wading into the discourses, I do think the people going “the ai art in E33 was a thing from an asset store” are correct. I also think the devs should just fucking say that if so. People are all very confident on if it was a mistake or not, but it took like 5 months just to confirm that it happened.

"if you want to play the harry potter game you should pirate it instead" or, and hear me out, you could have some goddamn self respect and play any one of the near-infinite number of other games that exist instead. but what do I know? I'm just an attractive genius who's better than you.

Blocking anyone parroting the same tired claim that the E33 team doesn't respect JRPGs when the director literally thanked Sakaguchi when accepting GOTY.

Look all jokes aside I think a game that retailed for $50 and had a reasonable, sustainable budget sweeping the awards is probably a good message to send to the industry, if it's even capable of listening.

This year’s Ben Starr meme.

the upcoming clair obscur discourse is gonna be so unbearable mannnnnn

Recently stumbled upon this Instagram account that's just a guy who lives in a downtown Chicago high rise throwing paper airplanes out his window. Dudes rock, tbh www.instagram.com/reel/DR3CmxB...

ABSOLUTELY LEGENDARY CLAPBACK

it turns out this was ai generated, but this is concerning to me and ruins how my family and i view the disney brand

As said of old:

some people were unhappy with how old i drew re9 leon so here

Forever relevant

so insanely fucking real for this

More coverage of our 10,000 Game Assets Pack, this time on Dexerto. We really do appreciate all the support everyone is giving this - basically it makes the last year of working on it full time worthwhile & spurs us on to create more assets!! www.dexerto.com/gaming/indie... #gamedev #indiedev

OHHH THE DESERT STATUE IS COOL NOW

I've been saying this for like 7 years and no one's listened.

the way that ai is being advertised now is that everyone has to pretend to be incompetent and incredibly incapable and useless at everything
