No effect!

i dont care if nintendo wins, i just need generative ai to lose

That’s my fuckin champ right there

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

You really shouldn't ban books period imo. Artistic expression at it's highest density should be allowed to exist. Even if you can also disagree with certain decisions.

Absolutely. Hot as hell.

Phew. Okay, so, this is tough. I can't afford to pay for the surgery my beloved Eugenides needs to save his mouth from severe inflammation and infection. I'm chronically underpaid by my day job and already struggling financially. Please ... I need help. www.gofundme.com/f/gen-sad-ki...

So it's finally happened, there are rumors that I used AI on the cover for James Rolfe's new book, Gnome Cave! I did not, and I will never knowingly use AI in any of my work, creative or otherwise. Now I will break down how I painted the cover (useful tutorial maybe??) 1/12

Movie had me like this

Thinking about that Miyazaki quote about creators of anime nowadays being primarily people who just watch anime and not getting external influences outside of anime in comparison to Uematsu growing up deeply on prog, psychedelic, and electronic music.

Well, now that I know that the episode is airing… I WAS ON CROWD CONTROL by @dropout.tv! …it was also INCREDIBLY CRINGE (no one’s fault)! The poor comedian assigned to me did not recognize a single thing I was in, I choked on my voice sample, and the other VO girl was WAY more interesting. Oops!

Agreed with this. Not everyone is going to do everything but when they do one of the things you want them to do, you should welcome that instead of immediately jumping to a million more things they should do. You can easily overwhelm people into apathy and despair, which is counter productive.

yes

Whenever sites come up with new rules like this I thing about how if you were a creator who was making something every bit on the level with a hugely popular and acclaimed series, would you be allowed to share it? Like, if you were sitting on the next Game of Thrones, you couldn’t share that here.

They have this button on the right hand column that in addition to public shaming, lets you shame them in other useful ways

Tomorrow we all need to pound ALL of our reps about this. Demand consequences. Theyre doing shit like this because they think they will face no meaningfup consequences, so we need to make a big fuss about this so it isnt further normalized

Imagine if Kirby's Wheelie Rider hat is a Fashion accessory. Then the reference can be completed.

This feels like they're undermining their own product. Everyone is now going to be /forced/ to shift to other brands which have not changed sizes. Explains why Woodman's was really pushing their store brand mixes as "No Shrinkflation!" today.

wow this SUCKS. boxed cake mix *was* so legit and very easy to enhance swapping oil for butter and adding an extra egg and vanilla extract. Now even the 1 egg is going to be the wrong ratio

I am sick now but I did manage to beat the game a few days ago so maybe my body is just going into withdrawal

More than half of the VB games in the NSO collection aren't even that bad, just stuck on a failed system with a headache-inducing display I maintain that the Red Viper emulator on the 3DS is still one of the best ways to experience the VB library if you haven't yet

Super Mario Galaxy - Rosalina's Storybook hardcover book up for preorder at B&N ($24.99 - 112 pages) buff.ly/4gkXkps #ad

I do have to say like, regardless of whether or not you like this style, I've seen chatter that it's eliminating Toriyama's artstyle and designs and that's felt extremely weird to me from the getgo considering how like, immediately obviously it wasn't.

just saw someone complain that sdr2 remake is going to create new danganronpa fans that will get into the series and make the discourse “like 2020 again” which i just think is so funny because you can tell from that sentence they were not forged in the fires of 2013 tumblr

Highlight from reddit

Found out firsthand tonight that this meme isn't even an exaggeration. The game really is just like that

petitions are not a silver bullet, but they ARE a powerful point of pressure. far right, puritanical interests got to where they are due to years, if not decades, of grassroots pressure. To fight it, we have to be prepared to do the same. Make your fight sustainable to prepare for a long haul.

"While Nintendo has patented this mechanic, it can choose not to pursue any other company that decides to use it, and only do so when it feels its own IP is being threatened" The problem isn't the patent itself, it's the fact they can just randomly pick and chose who they use this against.

Congratulations to Brazil!

hmm.

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Visa and Mastercard reportedly coming for FAIRIES and CAT EARS Get on the phone and ask them wtf is up because this even made me double take bsky.app/profile/dark...
