Big ditto here. Saying "Indies are the future, AAA doesn't matter" doesn't acknowledge the many ways indie can also be unsustainable/exploitative--and it doesn't respect the craft of AAA devs! So many cool people making incredibly cool things that couldn't exist otherwise!! Solidarity is important.

I know it's just de rigeur for the internet to clown on Tetsuya Nomura, but sometimes I wonder if some of the issues for Kingdom Hearts like the fact that we've heard no news regarding KHIV is more in the Disney end, especially after how protective they were over the new worlds in KH3.

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

As of last night, I have completed all FFXIV side quests up to Shadowbringers* *not including Crafting/Gathering class quests and related as my Crafters/Gatherers are currently getting levelled to 80

I just found the love of my life @adiostorito.bsky.social , playing Mario Party on his Switch while also playing it on an emulator on his computer. What.

Screw it: if you or someone you know is making a game and you have a demo out for next fest, sound off below. I’m just playing through everything and writing down my thoughts. Signal boost a little for the indies in the back!

I've been going through and continuing my quest of clearing out every single sidequest in FFXIV and it's surprising how chill it is just getting to travel each of the maps and see sights that I sometimes weren't even aware of!

That YouTuber you watch who came up with an interesting theory is not a “better writer” than the showrunner. They just had a different idea and you liked that idea. Chatting about a cool concept isn’t the same as sitting in a writing room with innumerable other facets of production relying on you.

Me browsing the interwebs for GBA roms, sees Pkmn: Fire Red and thinks "I'm never gonna play it, but part of me wants to grab it and put it on my 3DS just out of SPITE"

Not for nothing do I agree that the one-two punch of MLP and Homestuck back on Tumblr changed the way fandoms work, with their impressive and varied fanfics, comics, dubs and so on, but god damn if they weren't also the fertile ground for the ways fandoms these days lose their fucking minds.

We are in the rare and unique position where indie animation can be unique creative visions unfettered by corporate interference or IP shit Why would you, as the fan, demand that the vision of the creator, who you claim to love, bend to your demands Kill your inner exec

Creators don't owe you anything. You are the audience, no matter how big of a fan you claim to be. You don't get to change how a story is told, and have no right to hurt the people telling it. Seeing my friends be harassed infuriates me, and anyone I ever catch doing that will be blocked on sight.

sorry (not sorry) if this is a hot take, but I've seen conversation today about creators who are forced out of online spaces due to overzealous fan pressure, and I guess some people are suggesting that creators need to "not care" but you know what I think fans need to chill the fuck out fully

It's #BlackHistoryMonth so you have to read the Gay Sacred Texts #ProjectSuperCrush www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6NE...

EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS ART OF MY SONS NOWWW 🥹😭💕

You know what, following the rules is stupid. Why should I be not have fun because I was a good person during the strike and thus have no work to show from half of last year? So here's a mini visual reel from the last 6 months! **SPOILERS for CRK Beast Yeast 14 & FFXIV 7.4** youtu.be/jY0qtxyDLh4

Also .... If there's an Angel investor out there .... I'm making a black vampire show. U_u and it's YA with witches set in the 2010s. And my pilot is already on YouTube and gaining a little niche fandom . .. just saying. Help me make it ? Uwu

REP ANNOUNCEMENT! Happy to announce that I am now rep'd by Superstar Talent Management for con and event bookings! Excited to take this next big step in my career~ :D

read my webcomic for the dream tboy fantasy where the trans guy not only gets a magical body transition but his wife is also having HIS BABY www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/re...

good day to post this reminder

Unfortunately, I cannot suggest buying a Nintendo 3DS secondhand. It would also be morally wrong of me to suggest looking into how easy it is to jailbreak one. And it would certainly be in poor taste to mention that GBA roms can be easily added to any Nintendo 3DS. I could, but would be gauche.

If you can, consider giving monkey wrench a few bucks a month. Animation is in a really rough spot right now, and if you want more you gotta help out. Just a little bit of financial support here and there to artists doing good work, like Zeurel and company

It's not "pointless" to engage in the practice of politics. It is a signal about what Democrats are willing to do if given political power. The point is not to "appease" "petulant" adults. It's to have legislation ready to go.

The Supreme Court:

Keep seeing this post pop-up on my reddit timeline complaining that the SW Sequel Trilogy means that nothing Luke, Leia and Han did in the OT mattered and like... ...yeah...that's what happens when culture turns inward to endless sequels. No one gets happy endings anymore.

Made a banana pudding cake to take in to work today. Because frankly, if I makes sweets, it's to take them in cause my husband sure isn't going to eat them.

Reminder that my game #Imaloveinterest is still on sale for the Love, Romance, and Heartbreak Debutante Ball Steam festival. Also, I'll be at #BFA this weekend in Melbourne. Also also, Citrus Con is next weekend!!! The rest of this month is gonna be crazy!

Any chance to repost this classic Busta Rhymes moment

Watching Gigli when it first came out, afterwards I turned to my dad (we'd watched it with my Stepmom) and said "Is it just me, or was that really, really bad?" and it's the first time I think i ever said that about watching something in the theater.

Publicists who represented Johnny Depp during his 2022 trial against Amber Heard charged Jeffrey Epstein five figures a month for representation during 2017, according to invoices in the Epstein Files. Their PR strategies for Epstein reflect the later MeToo backlash. spitfirenews.com/p/epstein-jo...

Read one of the best fantasy series of all time. Start with Guards Guards, then go in publication order. It's peak.

Man my block button got a WORK OUT last night. Anyway, trans rights are human rights, and anyone who refuses to get on board with that or who throws our trans and gender nonconforming siblings under the bus for political clout can, as the kids say, get stuffed.

Man, I gotta love someone rolling up on that post -I- made about G&v(n N%ws$m and then immediately muting me when I respond with snark instead of dutifully engaging with their bad faith shit. LIKE YOU CAME TO MY HOUSE, SCRUB.

democrats are so thirsty for republican votes or to be republicans themselves. they think this makes them look reasonable but only makes them look pathetic. you hear democrats be all "reagan and the bushes were great americans" but republicans never say "i miss obama and clinton".

Could someone give me a tl;dr on whatever was fucking going on over at Voice Over twitter, I ain't going over there but I'm a nosy, gossipy Italian and I want my tea.

Anyway, stan Loona.

There's some people literally looking for Gavin Newsom's name to start arguments because I've *never* gotten this level of engagement before hahaha.

Probably a long shot, but from my perspective north of the border, I'd love Jon Ossoff to get a shot in '28. Dude is deadly serious about what he's doing in a way I find pretty admirable out of basically all Dems. Hoping things work out for ya'll, it's affecting everyone 🫠

I would really love to get snuck into one of these press briefings, just to ask, in a very politce newsworthy tone of voice, "Ms. Leavitt, do they pay you exceptionally well, or do you just enjoy the taste of fellating Mr. Trump on a daily basis in front of the press pool?"

Sometimes a band is made up of a guitarist who has no idea he's the romantic lead in a queer romance, his roommate, the new-old singer he wooed back into the band, & a bassist who radiates kid brother energy #KeepingTime #webcomics 🎸 Latest update: keepingtimecomic.com 🎸Start from the beginning

I don't love the hustle and grind. I love having a roof over my head. There's a difference.

Listen, I voted for both Biden and Kamala mostly to try and make sure that the conditions to bully the Democrats into doing shit were going to be a little more favorable. If Newsom ends up on the ticket, I ain't voting for that shit. At that point Dems need to learn a fuckin' lesson.

I was inspired to write Blooming Luck based on My Fair Lady alone, and I only read Shaw's Pygmalion after getting pre-editor feedback to figure out what scenes needed to shift settings or contexts. And that made it better overall! The marble scene is such a kinky farce I decided to keep it anyway.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
