Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "Please read the pinned post. PLEASE." That, or... "Another automatic rejection email. *sighs* - no, I can't just 'go get /any/ job'..."

Everyone rightfully points out how generative "AI" images are theft but I'm literally saying every response that google's machine summarizes at the top of search results is also theft. Those words and knowledge came from someone and is now unattributed, obfuscated, and spat out as the company's own.

Quick update now that I've moved. I had planned to be more consistent with streaming, but unfortunately that won't be possible due to unreliable internet connection. Unsure what the future looks like but I'm trying my best.

Reminder that your platforms/audiences are your stage. when you see a clear grift or rage bait, showing them off to MORE people just helps the grift. Attention is what they want. When you give them your stage, it's free advertising. Your stage and time are precious. Don't give them to a grifter.

Look. Anything to get new blood into Destiny at this rate. Please!! 🤣

Anthem will always be on the top of my "pile of shame"/"ones that got away". I never played it, but I really wanted to, but I could never afford it. Really hope that wikis & videos can preserve it - Prime & Detonation abiltiies idea could do SO well in other games. Art & designs too! Anyway 🫡

Okay Inkscape, you can make good graphics, and you can do quick meme-edits. But can you do photo editing AND picture editing? If so, you're the replacement tool I've been looking for.

There is no peace to be kept anymore. You can’t just hide your head in the sand forever, and in fact, people doing just that is exactly how we got into this situation. Stand the fuck up. Stop prioritizing minor comforts and conveniences over everything else.

Spent all day learning Inkscape and getting a fresh coat of paint and I am a big fan.

Oh right yeah, this is the last thing I did on the final day of 2025. Offically Affiliate. Time to work on stuff ™️

Well. Universe has given me the first gift of the season: Mystery illness that feels a LOT like COVID. fml. 🤧

Hey, there's that thing we all knew was coming. If you were playing Fortnite, it's time to stop. These companies gotta get the message that there are just some things we won't tolerate just for the sake of entertainment.

So I saw a comment on Reddit and had to write an essay about it "You can be a girl if you want to" is useless if you don't know what wanting to be a girl looks like. If lesbians make you sad, read this one

I'm really really struggling to find potential Sponsors for @limitbreak.co.uk at the moment We're not looking for huge amounts of money. We're a very lean programme thanks to our amazing volunteers! Can you help? Look at out Sponsorship Deck or share this post 💖 limitbreak.co.uk/sponsorform

Found the RWBY soundtracks preserved on Deezer. Listened to them while running errands this morning. It really feels like a homecoming and seeing an old friend that's changed - a lot - but being really happy for them. I won't be apologising.

Today is the day to #PitchYaGame so here we are, drifting, boosting and spreading kisses across your timeline! Crescent County is currently in development but you can play the demo and wishlist the game on Steam RIGHT NOW! Wishlist + Demo here: store.steampowered.com/app/2202650/...

One shot of MCM London. Today only. Let's do it.

I wish: Google A very: Why are you welcoming me to your AI platform that I didn't apply for and have no interest in joining? Where's the "opt out forever" option? Also there is no way to contact your customer support team, so I've marked Gemini as a phishing scam. Because it is. Fuck right off.

I may have to uninstall Destiny, which... really hurts. Not that I'm playing it or enjoying it a whole lot, but the fact I have multiple lag spikes from (what appears to be RAM) makes it almost unbearable to play. :(

Was an absolute joy and surprise to be able to listen and moderate the chat for such an event. Thank you to chat for being so patient, @psalmlab.bsky.social for hosting & organising, and all the panelists - especially @leftie.bsky.social and @thiccestyosh.bsky.social for their narrative insights!

I'm glad people are having fun with Destiny Rising but I have such contempt for gacha that I ain't touching it at all. Instead I'll just look at the cool art direction from afar.

Jobcentre has now required me. I have saved enough for rent but am now practically out of food. Payment early September. My life is now in two sets of people's hands - the DWP and recruiters. This is who I dance and perform for now rather than myself. Should make a D&D character to process this.

Develop: Brighton 2025 was packed with fun and solemn looks at videogame development, but it wasn’t immune to the key pitfall that plagues so many games conferences – the accessibility issue that comes with the cost barrier. @maddie-b-a.bsky.social reports: thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/deve...

Cleaning off files (mainly screenshots) from my PC and wondering why I took this one.... Oh yeah, its because a Cabal-themed solar glavie would be REALLY cool if it looked like this - basically an elongated Cabal Galdiator's Sword/Sabre. Bonus points for any exotic "enrage" themeing.

Whelp, start the doomsday clock. Just paid my rent & bills for next month. Unsure if I'll be able to pay after that while still able to eat. Future is now in other peoples (recruiters) hands.

✨Hei hei, I'm Nord! ✨ I’m a partnered twitch streamer who loves fantasy, folklore, co-op & cozy games! I'm looking to do more collaborations, so if you'd like to work with me, pop an email my way! 🍄Twitch: twitch.tv/nordenheim 🌿Email: [email protected]

Still don't appreciate that Gambit *isn't* in the Portal system. I get it Bungie, leave it out of the menus while you figure out what to do with it. Let the player numbers trickle away to zero and eventually sunset it. Over my cold Gilded Dredgen title. Please, make it an alternative to PvP.

Great post on queer porn and adult content being valuable and important in representing the queer experience. The enemy is religious conservatism lobbying LGBTQ people (and women! and anything deemed deviant!) out of existence.

If you're not putting two and two together re: the Itch deindexing of NSFW content and the Online Safety Act making it so you need to verify that you're over 18 to use social media, then I am begging you to open your fucking eyes. THEY ARE ALL PART OF THE SAME CHRISTOFACIST MOVEMENT.

For the next 48 hours... 😔

Hey @skillup.bsky.social - congrats to you and the rest of the team on the launch on the TWIV website! Sure you're getting this question a lot: how would someone interested in a career in games jounralism (in the year 2025 🤣) join or contribute to TWIV?

See you starside (soon). Answer the call.

Okay. COVID Round 4. We win these. No Trans Pride march for me though, potentially 😔

Going live with Destiny 2 soon - testing my new GPU's settings with some fashion and some Edge of Fate prep? Link: www.twitch.tv/shutterfinch_

So, this is going to be one heck of a stretch but: Does anyone know someone that works in or knows about perfumes? I have a scent in mind I want to recreate (in perfume form, not deoderant) but I have ZERO knowldge or experience how to or where I could buy it.

So. Easy to manage alternatives to Microsoft OS' that will still run all my Steam games without me getting banned, and still let me work? Asking for a friend. Or a few 9000.

hey chat, I may have accidentally started a hyperfixation on the obscure BBC video game/game show "FightBox" (2003). I wish I made something like that in Uni. Or even wrote an academic essay on it. Or find out what happened to the winner and contestants. heck.

Games should give you the tools to continue to play them if/when they get shut down. You should keep access to the product you paid for If any of my EU viewers agree, I urge you to sign the petition Stop Killing Games EU - eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#...

We are thrilled to be partnering with @outmakinggames.bsky.social to celebrate #PrideMonth We asked the OMG community for their favourite games that tell LGBTQ+ stories or celebrate inclusivity. Check out our list below and tell us about your favourite games that celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.

Making a heartfelt plea I don't want anyone, anyone at all over here, to get sidetracked with politicians on all sides trying to redefine the European Convention on Human Rights *They are literally trying to take away the rights and dignity of migrants* And when they do, they'll redefine it again

We're heading to Trans Pride Brighton! 🏳️‍⚧️ Join us on 19th July as we celebrate and support the trans community ✨ rsvp: www.outmaking.games/events-list/...

IT IS DONE!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK0e... Come watch a chaotic tour of my first housing build in ESO - "The Cobalt Cottage", an Autumn's Gate themed after Critical Role's (post) Campaign 2.

4th time uploading a video trying after processing failures last night. Started video upload at 1pm. Nearly 4 hours later its only at 30%. No internet problems. Regular HD 60fps, 20 mins long. Guess I need to some work dialing in the export settings 😅

Ah video rendering and uploading failures, I have NOT missed you. 😅

Hey #GameDev community (or anyone else interested in ARGs!) I'm looking to become a consultant on ARGs and freelance designer/runner for them too. I have a history going back to 2016 of playing & helping make both professional and hobbyist! Twitch & PUBG I've helped make/run official ARGs for. 1/3

Finally getting on with editing a little video together (first time in 6 years?!) and... yeah I still hate my voice, I have a lisp, I say "uhm" WAY too much, and *breathing*. But hey, at least its a cute house and I'm being creative.

I'll get to the light-hearted post later on, but on a serious note: Everyone of y'all better be keeping an eye on companies/groups/orgs that are launching their yearly brand colour change this year. I will be. Because I think LGBTQIA+ people are TIRED of tokenisation and "visibility" (cont.)

Let's do something a little more artistic this time: www.flickr.com/photos/shutt... #Photography #StreetArt #DSLR

One deluxe edition of @electricsaint.bsky.social 's debut Cresent County with OST please! It'd be rude not to for such immaculate vibes: in gameplay, art, and music! Check it: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ann...
