it was really nice to be in japan again where when 8PM rolls around it's fully dark out and you can enjoy the night time for a couple hours as an adult, instead of it being dark here for like 1 hour before i go to bed

It's been a big week, and the response so far has been incredible. Thank you 🤘 https://support.last.fm/t/last-fm-is-now-independent/118591

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

I swear if one more of you shows up on here with a funny Google AI summary I'm blocking everybody

throwing all my FIFA-branded coke zero cans into the bin instead of recycling so i can ensure no part of this travesty gets a chance to exist on this earth anew

Anti-porn, anti-sex worker, and anti-sex censorship directly corresponds to a tilt downward into a more ideologically conservative and oppressive society. Regardless of your personal comfort with nsfw content on the internet, it's absolutely critical to support it right now.

Congratulations to BC’s transit workers — solidarity forever. While the province spends more than $720 million on FIFA, the transit workers who keep our province moving are being subjected to unsafe, undignified conditions. The BC Greens stand with you in your fight for a better, fairer contract.

not saying i agree with the reasoning but i at least understand why some artists would be like "fuck this im going back to twitter" wrt to the new (quite literal) shadowbanning account-wide moderation. like if your visibility is gonna get crushed why not do it where there's more ppl looking for porn

This sucks dude. Labeling a whole account for several weeks effectively feels like punishment for "posting out of line"

bsky too quiet? missing comments? not seeing posts from spicy artists? check your moderation settings and your bsky filters if you haven't configured these before, many of these will be set to hide as defaults

the IOI folks are smart because they know that, despite being set in the present day, the last good Aston Martin was from the mid '00s

“But you can’t unlock achievements!!” achievements aren’t real, bro. are the achievements in the room with us right now. did you achieve them.

bad news about being back home: some asshole barber vandalized my fucking car with stickers for their shop good news about being back home: the community seating area/park on the street near us is open! public space yaaay

please forgive me i am going to be god's most annoying poster for like a week, i miss japan so much already

miffy with the peal earring....

the hard reality that now i have to live through a day's worth of news instead of just waking up to it. bad to admit i suppose, but it was nice to wake up for a few weeks, have everything hit like one big hammer, and then get on with my day. the day-long noise of it here is exhausting.

now seems like a good time to remind people Xbox, and by extension all Microsoft-owned publishers, are on the BDS list

opening r/vancouver for the first time in 2 weeks and getting 1-2 punched by senakw 2br units starting at 3500 for 650sq ft, and the overdose prevention site downtown actually not opening is like... the worst kind of cold shower lol

enjoy your current computer and consoles because they are the last ones you will actually Own for at least a decade lol ps4 about to become the longest-lasting console generation

left Osaka at 11am, arrived in Vancouver at.... 11am. Fuck!

we're on our way home after almost 3 weeks in japan and i feel very mixed about it for reasons i will probably blog about, but i am unabashedly excited to sleep in my own bed and pet our cat and sit on my couch

incheon is a beautiful airport and it is one of the worst in the world for making you go through security on a layover. im in the system, man!! stop making me take my batteries out! those galaxy notes exploding was your fault!!

every trans person i know who is way more of a gearhead than any cis guy has ever been has abided by the BDS boycott and not bought Forza Horizon 6, while soooo many painfully normie folks on my timeline are apparently fine giving this one a pass because "uwu a little treat for me"

maybe you don't believe in the effectiveness of a boycott but consider: it is the easiest thing in the world to *not* write about a game. there are one billion other games released every second. basically the smallest hill in the world to die on.

if there was one thing that truly burned me out on working in games media it was this feeling that you have to *care* - about the place games hold in culture, where their development intersects with society, the role your coverage plays in it all - and too many people simply don't.

also hi new follows, welcome aboard! reminder that along with design commissions: i've experimented with typeface design for personal and commercial use! creative market: creativemarket.com/wendyleftmea... gumroad: wendymurphyonline.gumroad.com etc: linktr.ee/wendymurphyo...

i dont think this is what i bring to the table at all

tag yourself

it's destroying communities. not in the abstract "it's bad for the environment" sense, in the literally observable immediate sense. usage of it is tantamount to violence against your own neighbors, and it should be treated as the antisocial behavior that it actually is

actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

you can just shove a highway through a building if you try hard enough

I have watched this nine times with my jaw fully dropped holy shit

"With DIY venues becoming increasingly scarce & affordable spaces for emerging artists harder to come by, there’s a genuine appetite for events that feel accessible, improvised, & community-driven." Great write-up in RANGE. Photo: @seanorr.bsky.social crowdsurfing. readrange.com/wtf-is-up-de...

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

no idea if i'll ever snap a picture as good as this ever again

I do not believe there is a way to be vocally anti AI and still support/play/promote this company’s titles.

no idea if i'll ever snap a picture as good as this ever again

never been to the garden up at namba parks until today, which was well overdue since it shows up a few times in Lovely Complex :')
