QRP with your Pride Month Vibes 🌈 (Silly lil demi/pan creature that's here for you just trying to get through "The Times")

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Does anyone else just feel like it's a lot easier to read physical books compared to their e-book counterparts? I started reading a sample of one book as a digital download and when I started reading the physical version of it, it was just so much easier and enjoyable to read as that. Anyone else?

@rbreich.bsky.social Hi, just wanted to make you aware that there is an account that is more than likely pretending to be you to scam people via Telegram and a non-domain connected Gmail account.

I'm rewatching the anime "How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom" because I'm sick of this administration and it's nice to see a protagonist actually fix the system/government even if it takes place in a fantasy world. Check it out if you need some hope and anime.

In our current timeline, how many years past the death of Himmel the Hero are we?

I politely asking the universe to give me some help and get me a call back on the job applications I've sent in. I need to get back in the game to make awesome games.

yikes :(

Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

STOP TELLING ME AI IS THE FUTURE OH MY GOD

we’re sooooooo close to the bubble popping in ai i can literally taste it

Wealth inequality is surging beyond anything ever witnessed in America. A wealth tax is a necessary precondition for addressing this problem — and protecting our democracy. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-logic-of-taxing-great-wealth

I appreciate that the protesters made sure even the AI understood it's not wanted with their signs/prompts.

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Person: Why are you being such a bummer? Me: Because the country I live in is going insane because of some cartoon-level nonsense that should only exist in a poorly written villain's arc; and, I fucking sick of it while trying to just get a job in this economy. Person: Ok but why? Me:

Hey, did you know that Trump is in the Epstein files A LOT, was basically best friends with Epstein, and is a known sex offender? We should all probably remember that on top of the fact that he's been shitting himself in public and is on the cognitive decline. Just saying.

Someone hire me to work on a game where the player character is a little guy just doing stuff.

She is, in fact, not innocent.

Hi! I’m music producer and composer Chipzel ✨ Hire me to make music for your video game project, installation, artwork and more 🎵 #opencommissions #indiegames

I was reading some comments online and one poster was complimenting another posters Star Wars art. I couldn't help thinking "Aww I love it when folks are nice to each other like that online". I then proceeded to yell out loud "OMG the bar is so low!"

Did you know that the last time the White House was burned down was 1814? Just pointing that out.

I don't get ranking certain things. Sure, you can like something more than another thing BUT it's also ok just to like two things without ranking them. Example: I like both The Amazing Digital Circus and Gameoverse. I don't have a reason to nor want to rank them against each other. Both are great.

Games and its industry are really going through it right now. Developers losing jobs, some bank worker trying to convince devs to sell their games for $100, people not feeling like they own what they bought. It's a lot. But we hate it. So we WILL make it better. Don't give up.

I'm begging the universe to please help me out and get me a new job ASAP. I just want to do the work I've been training to do for ages to help create some fun in these shitty times.

How did that post pop off so fast?

Dear devs, stop telling QA "we won't fix this bug because it's not like players will ever find it in normal game play and exploit it". I have worked in games long enough to know that players absolutely will find the bug and then spend way too much time exploiting it. For funzies. Fix the bug.

I want to play games made by real people. I want to watch shows and animation made by real people. I want those real people to be able to make the creative choices they want and give us something new. Not another reboot. Not another remake. Not a look-a-like of something that already exists.

What if @doublefine.com made a multi-player fighting (arena?) type game based in the Psychonauts universe? Like a Mind Vs Mind Royale between psychics from around the world to earn fame, money, and maybe merit badges.

I wonder if Weird Al would do a parody involving One Piece.

When you watch a video essay about nostalgic cartoons and the Gummy Bears theme song once again worms its way into your brain on repeat. (Loved the show as a kid BTW)

When will capes go back in fashion? I want to live my caped bliss.

So one of the things that baffles me the most is the apprehension of higher-ups to invest in new animation these days. Of all types of media, I would think it'd be the easiest (?) way to make back money in ways like merchandising and such. Sure, it's a lot of work but it's also the most flexible.

What's an aspect of 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s childhoods that are unique to those generations? I ask because mascot horror was something born of the childhoods of those from the 80s and 90s but what is unique to later generations' childhoods? Just something I was curious about.

Did they stage the "shooting"? Maybe Why you they do that? No one likes Tr**p but they hope making him a "target" might win people back with sympathy Did it work? No, people still hate him and are now upset the "attempt" failed Don't believe this shit and get him out of office.

Gnome Show is an odd kind of indie animation that would be interesting to see more of. Great animation, looking forward to more: youtu.be/o9DofskLbN8?...

Things have been rough mentally lately but I'm so thankful for my husband and his support. I wish there was more I could do for him, even when I feel so low right now. Just having him here makes me feel a bit better. I love him so much.

I may not be a furry myself but I have so much respect for the costume makers and the thought furries put into their characters. Stuff like this is so smart and it can be used in so many things. Putting so much effort into a thing you really enjoy just shows how special that thing is. Love it!

Begging the universe to give me some good luck in my job hunt. The world is insane and I just want to be able to work in my darn industry.

Happy Neil Banging Out The Tunes Day to all who celebrate

What if someone showed Luffy a few choice episodes of The Gummy Bears?

Making friends as an adult is hard. There's a bunch of folks in my industry I'd love to chat with more but I don't want them to think I only want to "network". I value real friendships over what a person can do for me.

The Play Store has been doing this with a lot of games, including ones who've existed for over 10 years at this point without triggering removal or demands to remove content. Not sure what has changed there but this is an industry-wide issue that just isn't talked about much.

He has so much health

I hope he and his burn. Take that as you will but the burning of a false empire would hurt more than 3rd degree.

Promises won't close Rikers Island. Action will. We're announcing the opening of NYC’s first Outposted Therapeutic Housing Unit at Bellevue Hospital for people in custody with complex medical needs, including critically vulnerable Rikers Island detainees. The journey to close Rikers has begun.

I have questions for MrBeast.
