to commemorate alan dye moving from apple to meta, here's one of his best quotes

I have good reasons to believe that what happened to #Horses is just the result of VISA and Mastercard still pressuring Valve and others digital stores to c̶e̶n̶s̶o̶r̶ "filter" their content... ... so, WOULDN'T IT BE SO FUCKING FUNNY IF...

after playing the game the through-line of this controversy becomes very clear: religious conservatives would much rather their child have potential access to 'sex with hitler 2' than anything that remotely begs to question authority

games are allowed to be art until they challenge the way you think.

Humble's now banned it too, post-launch: www.ign.com/articles/hor...

Again, like.. None of these bans over vibes and putative obscenity are unrelated to one another, and no I'm not just talking about games.

El hormiguero nunca se emitió en T5 (aunque sí llegó a haber repos en 2011 en LaSiete) pero el internet muerto es una conspiranoia y no es que los buscadores ya no sirvan para una mierda por culpa de la IA, qué va.

"I'm being paid the same now, when I make 500 shirts a day, as I did when I made 50 shirts a day. Where the fuck is the money going?" The popular idea of luddites is entirely due to generations of capitalists trying their damnedest to obscure what is a very simple issue.

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Bueno, pues empiezo ya. Esta historia se podría titular “crónica de una estafa jodida”. Pero prefiero titularla “Diego Ojeda, administrador único de Ediciones y Producciones Frida, S.L., propietaria de la editorial Mueve Tu Lengua, eres un cabrón y mereces todo lo malo que te pase”. Así, ligerito.

I have this mental picture of an old-ass Bandai exec watching this and going "ohohoh, this bait will totally get us homosexual money", only to discover months later that the main characters were, indeed, gay ... ... don't look at me like that, we know how they reacted to the ending of the show

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

mentally im here

Hell of a lot of people in the replies to this seem to be completely missing the point. It's the baseball bat, the one with "pixel art" smoothly rotated 45 degrees off from the grid it would already be at the wrong resolution for). I'm constantly griping about this. Pick a resolution and commit.

Lo del libro de la Dana con IA... ¿Soy yo solo el que cree que Fressia pretendía originalmente ser Freesia, pero el ChatGPT metió la gamba y tiraron del proverbio español "Al carajo, se queda así"?

normalize calling the ui designer michiko sakurai and calling the director "sakurai's husband"

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from. tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this. 🧵⬇️

In case you were wondering where to send your thoughts on the AI "dub" of Banana Fish, you can do so here. Be polite--and I *mean* that--but so long as you're polite, feel free to let them know exactly how you feel about the AI "dub."

Me parece de traca que tengamos que seguir diciendo que la IA generativa es una basura infecta que mata la creatividad y las pocas neuronas que nos quedan, pero bueno, seguiremos resistiendo hasta que los roboces se harten de nosotros y nos lleven a la extinción supongo 🤷‍♀️

Shareholders

have you ever thought, "man, i want to make a game, but i don't know what to make?" 🤔 well, i made a 🔁RANDOM GENRE MASHER🔁 to help you! it takes 426 genre tags from steam & randomly mashes two together. make the [your genre here] game of your dreams NOW!! 🎮 npckc.itch.io/random-genre...

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

someone sent me this because of my recent choice not to be upsold on a $40 ai looking at my mammogram and - again - it’s not bc i am against ai for this - this should be where we innovate in tech! it’s my lack of trust in the companies selling it to us at the counter today

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

Agents need these jobs for medical insurance. A lot of them are sympathetic to your concerns. MC global (upper level of corporate, above regional corporate) is hounding bosses to end this and bosses are snapping at workers as a result. Please be kind when you call, they’re getting slammed (2)

Morale at paypros call centers is in the toilet right now. It’s not just normal Black Friday stress, they’re being pounded. Corporate is pressuring bosses to end the paypros call campaigns. Source familiar w/ internals at MC stressed that folks should stand their ground but be kind to agents (1)

Oh fun, they’re recalling 6,000 planes to revert a software update www.reuters.com/business/aer...

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

“AI is here to stay” from the visionaries who brought you “NFTs are the future.”

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Figured I'd share this here but theres an account on twitter called A.Mikusa and theyve been posting ai generated content trained off of my art with insane success and profit, please share my story to get their account terminated- docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

People don't dislike Tim Sweeney nearly as much as they should.

Tanti demoni che sembravano sconfitti stanno tornando. E si stanno moltiplicando come la peste, in modo imprevedibile, subdolo, sistematico. Nelle campagne della Bassa Sassonia o del Meclemburgo-Pomerania o della Turingia si annidano comunità di bio-nazi, sette o adepti del culto di Anastasia

is siri a feminist? is the self-checkout kiosk a queer ally? is chatGPT my friend?

Key takeaway of 2025: Bluesky is an enormous activism force that punches above its weight. The paypros censorship stuff? This site is the one that’s getting us to the 20 yard line. The initial interest in the summer hasn’t returned to Twitter, whereas Bluesky is now the de facto source on this issue

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

Been working on a Professor Layton AU over on Tumblr called "Lady Gentleman", a post-canon AU where Flora is in university and Desmond ends up moving in with her and Hershel (midlife crisis) - #ProfessorLayton #FloraReinhold #DesmondSycamore #LadyGentlemanAU #fanart #drawing #characterart

The TimeSplitters fan-made remake, TimeSplitters Rewind, is a blast with tons of content, completely free, and a joy on the #SteamDeck: Written - steamdeckhq.com/the-timespli... Video - youtu.be/lvVs4owb7-Q

Please spread this. The process is also fairly applicable to Visa and Mastercard who are ALSO trying to push censorship, and brain-rotting conformity.

Black Friday is here, and for the next week, you can get a #SteamDeck LCD at a discount to celebrate the holiday: steamdeckhq.com/steam-deck-l...
