Every now and then on my wanders around Glasgow, I come across one of these upside down T-shaped keyholes on the door of a Victorian building. It's for an Odell Night Latch Key, of the type shown on the right. Cont./ #glasgow #odelllatchkey #doorfuriture #keys #locks

GTA 6 makers have 10 working days to voluntarily recognise Rockstar IWGB Game Workers Union or it may go to a government tribunal www.rockpapershotgun.com/gta-6-makers...

whenever anyone I know admits to using ChatGPT this appears above my head

Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!

This app is fucking awesome!!! If you need to make cyberpunk maps set in the real world, this is your source.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

THERE ARE NO TRANSPHOBES WITH HONOR. NO TRANSPHOBE WILL SEE THE GATES OF STO’VO’KOR.

"I’m organizing because I want to ensure that Arena has an audible voice in the wider organization. Even as just one part of the larger whole, we deserve to have a say in our working conditions."

In honor of the person who told us that using stock images makes your game "look cheap" because you "already saw these images before", we're sharing our doc again! It doesn't make you cheap or "less than". Use the resources that fit your budget and have FUN! wendigoworkshop.itch.io/art-resource...

I last played Earthborne Rangers almost exactly a year ago. Today I started over using the premade ranger decks provided on the publisher's page. I don't remember much of my first play, but I know these decks were better made and I had a better time for it. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/34...

double dog dare someone to send the krafton CEO a gift copy of subnautica II on steam

I heard y'all are interested in sites that list cool tabletop game designers? How about one made by humans which features local indie designers making 100% human-made games?? www.designedinthedmv.org/designers.html

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

Someone out there decided it would be a good idea to put a German Shepherd in charge of babysitting a bunch of Doberman puppies and they were 100% correct

The only LLM I ever wanna hear about is Long Loooooong Man

Your voice really matters right now. If you would like show your support, join us in requesting that Wizards and Hasbro voluntarily recognize our union by signing our petition at cwa.org/uwotcletter

I’m so excited by this, not least because one of my Game Dev students works there! A strong union is everything I want for my graduates!

OPEN CALL! We want your comics and prose! We are launching a new zine later this year called ZENESIS, featuring comics, prose, articles and more covering Mecha, Sci-fi and Space-Fantasy genres. Deadline is the end of March.

A year ago, we released #LostRecords. For its first birthday, if it ever inspired you to create something, a drawing, a poem, a song, anything you’d like to reshare, I’d love to see it again. Let’s turn this thread into a little time capsule. It would mean a lot to me.

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

✊

Hey! Just a friendly reminder that if you liked what we created with Max and Chloe and Sean and Daniel in #lifeisstrange 1 and 2 you will love Swann, Nora, Autumn and Kat in #LostRecords, play it! It’s celebrating its first birthday soon!

Was going to repost without a quote, but then realized I did want to add something for my audience specifically: KidLit folks, I know many of you are there. I can't stress enough, I will not read your Substack or share it. We are frontline defense for children. Get out of the Nazi bar, *please*.

@ithayla.bsky.social Hagalaz question or errata suggestion: in Running Hot, it seems like Chatika *cannot* pick up access codes? But that seems thematically off? Am I missing something, and/or would that house rule be minor or drastic, do you think?

Keep your loved ones away from OpenAI it’s not a safe product to use.

This & the thread around it. Luck is key, but you can’t get lucky if you don’t try to be involved in the community; and even if you have that lucky opportunity, it will evaporate if you’re a jerk, can’t take feedback, or don’t follow through.

To anyone who plays Fortnite and considers themselves a trans ally: Please don't buy any of the in-game Harry Potter stuff. Good chance a lot that money will go JK Rowling, who has and will use it to fund movements and campaigns to discriminate against Trans folk and take away Trans rights.

Unshockingly, Disney was against the mass theft of creative works via LLMs until they got a piece of the pie.

UPDATE: I (Caelyn) just checked the numbers and we're up to 2453. Thank you everyone, it's heartwarming to see so many nice comments about our work. At this rate, 2500 by the end of 2025 is going to have to become 2600 by 2026!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being. Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

So wild to me that monumental advances in fundamental biomedical research are happening at the same time as a farcical, lethal hatred of science is taking over our public health systems

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Got my GameMaster's Apprentice cards from @larcenousdesigns.bsky.social today! They are the POD cards from @drivethrurpg.com. I backed the Kickstarter, an awesome tool for GMs or solo play. Recommended! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

Good read. I hope Brian’s right; but the key is planning NOW for how to use committees if the Dems get either house of Congress, and on to 2028.

s/warned/promised/ Definitely ruin the industry that thought it could profit on stolen creativity.

Bad enough he was trying to steal the contractually-obligated bonuses for the developers of the game... Bad enough his reasoning for doing so was he thought it made him look weak... But how fucking pathetic do you have to be to ask ChatGPT for instructions on how to rip off your employees?

Don’t feed the clankers, don’t trust the sloppers! (This message brought to you by my disappointment in fellow teachers and “indie designers” who “only use ai because XYZ” or “in responsible ways”).

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

Even foxtrot is dunking on the Dems
