Hey Bluesky! Do you want to help a trans woman move to a safe place so she can be with her loved ones? Boy do I have an opportunity for you! I continue raising money to cover all the immigration expenses (and there's a lot of them) ko-fi.com/zeitgeistmis... Donations and reposts are appreciated 💙

We're making progress with the beureaucratic stuff we need to do to have the best chance of Nina's visa being approved! Donations are still massively appreciated, because this is all very expensive and the USD has gone down compared to the AUD which means we have less than we did 4 months ago!

gorgeous gorgeous girls should have functional brains that let them write

they have a lot to discuss ~

Why is the plural of hormone not hormtwo?

Part One of my Extremely Overdetermined Adventure Game Tier List, in which we sort 50 adventure games into tiers using MATH and GOOD TASTE. made w/ @questingrefuge.bsky.social, featuring @selmaleh.bsky.social & @pamd.bsky.social, thumbnail art by @highlandkall.bsky.social youtu.be/yxl7BD1rCjE

Nina and I are working hard to complete get all the documentation and everything else we need for immigration in order to get her here into Australia permanently! There are still many and more expenses involved in this thing besides just the visa though, so any continued support would be welcome!

Today's my birthday, send some moneys for the birthday girl if you can, so I can spend the next one with wifey 💙

So basically they tell us trans people are mentally ill & destroy their bodies while they literally hit their heads with a hammer like a cartoon character loosing their mind?

Alrighty folks, time to pull back the curtain a bit - WWII game is real! Development is still in the very early stages, but enjoy this concept piece for FLASH THUNDER - a retro-flavored shooter inspired by Medal of Honor. #gamedev

So fucking pissed I have to work so hard to maintain a currently very mid life in the middle of this fucking dystopia.

That’s really the it, man. No one is immune to propaganda, and if you believe you are, yr in a very dangerous place. Marinating in the Nazi stew is affecting people’s brains, and we have actual numbers on that!

I'm an unemployed video game designer with 14 years of experience and multiple shipped titles. Every day I get up to apply for jobs and every day the news says this

IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A WEEK!

One developer reported over 100 layoffs as a result of making a commercial success that fell short of Fortnite. paletteswap.site/dif...

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something. www.ign.com/articles/tun...

the video game industry is a mess

I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia. But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

"I’ve been working as a writer for the past decade and watching my industry shrivel up and die as a result, so you’ll excuse me if I, and the rest of the everyday people who stand to get screwed by AI, aren’t particularly excited by what AI can offer society." ~ @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology. mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries. But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.

Part of the reason this is all so tiresome is that what we're calling AI is a political project combining a bunch of preexisting sociotechical processes designed to shift power from the masses to the managerial class. A non-exhaustive list in no particular order:

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context

Good Morning, World.

on employment as a trans woman

i don't like apps they're too convenient for me to post brainrot to the population of a moderately sized township we gotta have forums again i wanna have niche shit again

How many times, in how many contexts, in how many ways am I going to have to say that this is what "AI" does— what it fundamentally *is*— before it sinks in? That all Bullshit engines do is statistically correlate training data & inputs via their weights to produce outputs you are likely to accept…

turns out the discord situation is worse! the company that will be doing the age verifications with IDs is Persona, a peter thiel aligned company we're going to try to wind down the Kill The Computer discord and try to get a subreddit for the podcasts community up and running

Hello, it's me, Darkfry, give me your credit card information or I will drink your teeth.

AAA executives: “If this game doesn’t sell 12,000,000,0000,000 copies in 7 seconds everyone is fired” Indie developers: “I have sold 30 copies of the game, this means I can finally afford cheese”

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.
