Worth noting: After the end of the three-year pilot program this year, the Irish government found that for every pound invested, they got 43% profit. Keeping artists alive and financially safe is not just for moral good, it's also beneficial in terms of economics. Just let artists keep making art.

Shit, with Metroid Prime 4 only being about a month away now (!!!), I aught to strongly consider dedicating most of my gaming time over the next month to doing a full replay of the trilogy.

Seeing people online regularly equating AI upscaling with AI "art"/Gen AI at this point and it's driving me nuts. Those are two completely different things... AI upscaling is a much older technology. At worst, it's just lazy. But it has none of the ethical issues with Gen AI...

That's awesome dude, I love the internet and being old.

fuggit, monthly group meetup pics. Went to a favorite world of mine for photos, a bit tricky to get stealth photos when the world has built-in camera motion blur, but I got some nice ones at least. A few of my faves + the group photo!

Waterwolf proving once again that they're the most hateful furry rave you know.

I love WaterWolf's sense of humor. It's funny because I'm a bird! And I'm angry! Because you've spent months of your one wild precious life shitting on me for caring as much as I do about accessibility, only to decide now that you care too! Hey, even if you did it to spite me, at least it got done.

#SaveSpeech Theres an Age Verification bill in the Wisconsen senate that is aiming to force Adult websites to block VPNs The bill is SB-130 /AB-105! Folks in WI need to get out and yell at their state reps about this!

This is unacceptable. Visual controls for the photosensitive are a must.

This is actually deranged. It's not AI-assisted, AI does all the fucking work using stolen art...

CANADIANS!! The official petition started by a member of Parliament to fight back against payment processors' censorship of legal content is only open for a few more days. Make sure you've signed it: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop. We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts. ocremix.org/remix/OCR04918 youtube.com/watch?v=fUsg...

Here's how we handle manchildren on the Steam forums at No More Robots:

This is what I mean when I say I don't trust him. He's republican in everything but name.

What if I Escape, with you~? Trim out from my CozyCon 2025 performance! This will be up on my YT eventually, but I gotta upload a backlog of older dancing (from as far as 2023 eugh) before I get to this one.

Turns out, 6 months was optimistic

Hate how much of internet services have transformed from opt-in to opt-out and now sites like youtube are defaulting to "opt-out but we're going to ask you again every week" It's not "no" anymore it's "ask me again"

there's been too much fighting on here - let's rerun Trump Is Secretly Dead this weekend, that was fun last time

Finished reading The Raven Scholar yesterday and it was real heckin' good YES I AM BIASED BECAUSE RAVEN BUT THE BOOK IS REALLY FANTASTIC OKAY???

I'm gonna be performing my dance panel for @cozycononline.com later today! I've been practicing for this, so I hope you do enjoy the show. Will be streamed at CC's twitch channel! www.twitch.tv/cozycononline

Not sure what book I want to read next. Maybe something else fantasy or science-fantasy related, but the last book I read kinda spoiled me and made me want another one with a queer female protagonist... Hrmmm

B.J. Blazkowicz is a terrorist who would sooner turn all Nazis into a fine mist than have an open and honest dialogue. That’s why the left is losing.

nintendo has completely lost their fucking marbles when it comes to pricing lol and people are just gonna buy it all anyway, so it's just gonna keep getting worse 🙃

Favorite dragon designs in media? Alright here goes Ridley (Metroid Series) Meta Ridley (Metroid Prime) Neo-Ridley (Metroid Fusion) Proteus Ridley (Metroid: Samus Returns)

"Actually, I think vultures are gorgeous birds and deserve much more love!" Said the weird looking bald man.

I can't believe Sonic Racing Crossworlds has a playable GIRL bird Didn't they get the memo? All bird characters in games are supposed to just be Falco with like, one or two very slight differences! Seriously tho Wave is great and I will play her all the time if I can ever afford the full game lol

TEST SUBJECT OUTFIT IS FINALLY RELEASED \o/ You can buy the Casual or Test Subject designs individually, or both together as a bundle. I spent a lot of time on this outfit, I hope folks enjoy it orz kudalyn.gumroad.com/l/testsubject jinxxy.com/Kudalyn/test... #vrchat | #vrfurry | #portal | #fanart

i am approximately 6x more likely to pick up / buy your book if it has a bird or a dragon on the cover

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

Aggressive reminder that trans rights are non-negotiable, as are all human rights. Fuck you Gavin Swamp Ass Newsom. And a particularly intense FUCK *YOU* to Pete Pick-Me Buttigieg. Your dumb ass is queer too; we are literally living through what happens when you DON'T fight for trans people.

a story in two sentences

My new music album “Dirty Laundry” is out! Check it out if you’re interested! realmaskband.bandcamp.com/album/dirty-...

Soon enough they're gonna run out of my favorite games from my childhood to remake lmao 2 got scratched off in one day with PvZ and Pac-Man World 2

Am i the only one that's starting to feel like Square-Enix's HD-2D games are about as common and same-y looking as the Nintendo 2D platformers of the Wii U/3DS era and the Sony "narrative-driven" action games that get remastered 2 years after their release?

My Sporty Ponytail is now out! kudalyn.gumroad.com/l/sportypony jinxxy.com/Kudalyn/spor... #vrchat | #vrfurry | #3d

OH! I remember now! My most popular piece on Twitter (and Tumblr, coincidentally) was this seagull that's brazenly stealing your fries.

lol i just got a kobo clara and i am finding out real fast that ebook sales are just as dangerous for me as steam sales, maybe moreso

it appears i am entering my "tries sriracha on everything at least once no matter how little sense it makes" arc

When I found a pub with an inverted normal map. (If you understand what this means, you have to repost.)

"BOZO. EAT DUST. THIS BAG TWO-THIRDS AIR."

Lol finally playing Dark Souls 1 for the first time in 2025

There's definitely way worse games on this list, but in letting my personal bias win out... Ocarina of Time. I'm probably wayyy overdue for a reevaluation here to give the game another shot, but god, so much about that game's design just irritates me.
