damn, loved Assault Spy. I was going to include this in my forthcoming Next Fest write up, but not now, sorry MightReya!

Important to share because Mightreya does NOT disclose the use of AI on the Steam Game page at present.

Hey game devs (especially indies), do not use genAI. It's not worth it, even for placeholders and concept work. It ruins the players trust in the creative process and we already beaten the dead horse on how harmful it is to use. I was excited for MightReya but not anymore.

Mightreya is now dead to me

I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

I say this as a professional who came up from fan translation and has friends at Sega who will likely never get to work on this officially: when you fan translate ANYTHING that was previously untranslated, you have a deep, heavy responsibility in setting people's first and typically only impression.

Wise words

Apparently I was getting too powerful, so God had to temporarily debuff me, but I refuse to be stopped. Back to Hundo Line, this time one-handed! www.twitch.tv/temporal_wol...

I've always found Raccoon City emblematic of what a country and it's government is willing to do to it's own people to cover up it's crimes. This has been a constant in the Resident Evil series since its inception with the US govt being the explicit backers of bioterrosim and unethical testing.

Resident Evil is a lot more prescient that people think. It's a universe that doesn't take. place in a zombie apocalypse, it's a universe where zombie outbreaks happen like oil spills.

A lot of these Warner Bros assets are already starting out in a not great place due to 20 years of mismanagement and shitty mergers, even before the Ellisons walk through the door.

Strong opinion moment here. There is a difference between an “accidental discharge” and a “negligent discharge.” A MASSIVE difference. And the International Business Times UK (this headline’s source) is on the wrong side of it. These weren’t accidents. These were negligence.

Gorillaz "The Mountain" 8-minute short film is now online. Directed by Jamie Hewlett, Max Taylor & Tim McCourt at The Line studio. An homage to the golden era of 2D animation, produced with a hybrid analogue-digital workflow. >> www.catsuka.com/news/2026-02...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: New Blood teams with Make-A-Wish International, will donate 10% of all anniversary sale revenue to children with critical illnesses ♥️

Make-A-Wish is not prepared for the giant bag of cash we're about to dump on them next week.

The article briefly mentions it, but personally I don't care what Lud's status was. Every post about his situation has wriggling weirdos underneath asking about it & I reject the xenophobic premise of their question. Immigrants are a positive good and Lud should be celebrated, safe, & protected

even by Conde standards, this is an absolute speedrun of hostility to their own workers

A lot of people are acting as if this is a screenshot from the episode proper, when it's obviously *not.* It's a promotional shot, without proper color grading, likely taken by a completely different camera than what they're filming with, at an angle that won't be in the show.

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

This shit needs to stop! When you see it, report it immediately! Report this fucking POS!

Sometimes you read news so appalling it doesn't matter how optimistic you are, it just gets you fuming! And rightfully so. Trans rights are human rights, and I'll stand by that till the end of days.

Dear @adampknave.com do you think we should discuss this with @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social or @jongraywb.bsky.social?

genuinely so funny and depressing that everything from the right is fake and bots. stuff like this reinforces that the rights strategy hinges upon paid lying and misinformation networks

Setting aside them guys who knock each other's teeth out for vainglory can we just take a moment to really appreciate that what Ali did in staring jingoism down & rejecting it, taking years in prison rather than engage in imperialism or injustice, is one of the coolest things anyone has ever done?

Tapping the sign

you have to be loudly pro-pornography and you have to never shut up about it. you have to become the "they want to take away your freedom of expression vis-à-vis cocks and boobs" person to everyone you know. i'm sorry to say it but it's just how it is right now

I continue to maintain that the video game industry and game design in general are fundamental concepts to understanding the entire modern era, from social media to politics, and gambling markets are one crucial example of why any news outlet neglecting video game coverage is neglecting readers

Heads up to anyone who uses Amazon wish lists to allow others to send them stuff, they are changing how it works, privacy-wise, and it could reveal the address to senders via tracking updates.

This is extremely dangerous for those who use wish lists for organization & mutual aid. Please share far & wide.

''Ermmm it's unprofessional to talk about ''politics'', you'll lose followers!'' Oh shit my bad, here let me say this instead- Fuck ICE Fuck MAGA Free Palestine Trans rights Black lives matter I could give two fucks if people unfollow, i'm not here to surround myself by bigots.

Again: Mamdani and AOC are the moderate liberals that the democratic ghouls and Vote Blue zombies believe the party is. The majority of the Democratic party, especially its central power structure, is just this capital-fellating grift machine designed to stop anything getting better.

Anytime I hear the word "Looksmaxxing", I try not to cringe to death by imaging this moment in Dexter's Laboratory.

It sucks that this is the only way to get Yakuza 3 in its original form now, but... it is a good deal if you want to pick up the whole bundle.

Ever get so flustered by someone that makes you wildly uncomfortable that you fumble what should be an easy to communicate idea?

#FREELUD UPDATES: - Lud finally spoke with his lawyer - Lawyer presents the asylum case to a judge tomorrow - Press coverage in progress; stay tuned - Raised $$$ are enough for current/potential future legal fees, and to help Lud recover once he is freed; GoFundMe remaining open

fuck EVO go to locals/regionals/other majors, they're literally all better than EVO for everything but the prize money make friends, play games, discover new games, get excited for your local best at the next major, get into a regional rivalry and drive a state over to crash their bracket, it owns

The reason they are forcing this tech everywhere and pushing it so hard is because they want people gathering surveillance data for them constantly and I hate that you sound paranoid pointing this out.

you should keep drying up their user revenue source in the middle of trying to take the company public

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

It often means the world to us who make stuff to hear why exactly someone likes something that we do, or just in words at all that they do. It can genuinely be stressful sometimes to try to interpret a like and what that exactly means if there are multiple things someone might appreciate.

get weirder 🫵

Letting EVO die would be a net positive for the FGC
