A trillion dollars was stolen by this administration.

had to put this one together from the archives but: called it again

Calling Brisbane indie devs! 📣 Working on a game and want a free opportunity to promote it to thousands of people? We've got a spare spot on the #indiedev panel at Supanova Brisbane on 9th November. If you're interested, please reach out and I will get you in touch with the event organiser.

Thread of trans women who'll be in trouble soon due to SNAP suspension.

Seriously, an AI generated pimp with a zoot suit style hat?! What year does the Cuomo campaign think this is?

I only got my first tattoo at the start of this year, a modified Ichiban Kasuga style Dragonfish, it's not something I got willy-nilly, I wouldn't give advice for tats considering I had one, but if I offered a couple of tips; research background and meaning in case you regret it and bites your ass.

Games media is in a state of disarray - we've seen too many brilliant outlets close their doors or succumb to the filth that is AI. These are the people keeping Australian games journalism alive. Do whatever you can to support them - click a link, share an article, and subscribe whenever you can.

The Gamer was pretty much the *only* outlet willing to stick their neck out for us adult game makers. Their coverage was invaluable in getting the word out about payment processor censorship 😥

So anyway, maybe voice actors aren't crazy, greedy bastards for wanting protections against their voices being used to train AI after all

I mean even I'm trying to catch up on Platner updates, like.....oof, seemingly fair game, even though Greenblatt is a stooge.

"But won't you think of the children?" is such a bitch argument tactic to moralise terrible policies, typically used by people who contribute to making children's lives worse or a death statistic.

don't vote for mecha hitler

People, please! We're all frightened and horny.

There's a reason we need to stop heralding politicians like saviors and instead invest our time and money and effort into community building. Bernie served a purpose in arousing a politically apathetic demographic. That was valuable. But an alarm clock doesn't start your day. You do. Get to work.

This slow pivot towards a sort of budding global fascism has been wild and deeply unsettling to watch in real time

No don't you see it's 4D chess by commuting a convicted sex offender he's distracting everyone from the uh- well, er.

Goku voice actor Masako Nozawa was selected as a Person of Cultural Merit by Japan 🇯🇵 • She's the first voice actor ever to receive this honor • The government will pay her $23K annually for life

Hey everyone. A good friend of mine lost his father last night to a sudden illness...His family could really use financial support for cremation and healthcare expenses. If you can donate or spread the word, it would mean so much. I'll link the gofundme in the replies. 🙏

Guys new scamming method on bluesky. Please share this around. Dont fall for this stuff Block, move on.

I really need to check out way more Alan Partridge, the way Alan (Steve Coogan) narrates The Spy Who Loved Me kills me. Bless this account for syncing the opening with Alan explaining www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrp0...

as a reminder: bluesky (the app) has a broad set of user interactions controls. beyond blocking and block lists, we have features to control who can reply, mention, and quote-post accounts

Bluesky right now.

cuomo's campaign strategy, from what i can tell

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck. Women only want one thing, and it's a 1983 Suzuki Mightyboy!

I refuse to believe it’s a coincidence that the entire executive branch has set up Bluesky accounts one day before our next #NoKings rallies. Don’t engage. Just block them all.

times like these i look to The Simpsons episode Treehouse of Horror VI "Attack of the 50-Foot Eyesores" when Lisa and Paul Anka sing “Just don't look! Just don't look!" to get people to turn away from the monsters rampaging the town and the lack of attention defeats the monsters and saves the town

Few things have been as cathartic this week as finding out about an account where I can go through its feed and block every single account it RT’d before blocking the main account itself. Don’t interact with government troll trash. Just remove it from your sight & spare yourself the mental stress.

oh this is straight up turning into a war on self-employment isn't it

Steam/PC doesn't need a "Direct" or "State of Play"-like presentation because let's be real, the other videogame companies already do it for them

When you're trying to find something decent in the Steam NextFest...

Whenever indie devs use AI, it hurts their sales potential and retention because it’s a 🚩red flag for generalized unprofessionalism and cut corners. Getting real art from a pro will make you look like a pro.

Newgrounds has a very helpful guide for detecting AI audio over at www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... for anyone interested in catching AI-generated music. Don't rely on any service that uses AI for detection, that's just using slop to find slop and you'll get false positives/missed catches.

I need to know what Bob Hoskins said to Princess Diana in front of Roger Rabbit at the London premiere of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988).

I've said it before but I'll go full broken record on this, nobody is prepared for how massive the AI bubble burst is going to be. The dot-com bubble is going to look like a normal Tuesday compared to this.

No. Glitch doesnt hold a monopoly on Indie Animation. I see artists starting projects that arent broadcast-quality all the time and I think theyre great! You and other "critics" of indie should gas up smaller artists and projects instead of obsessively talking about the most popular ones, dude 🤷🏿

if you already didn’t have enough reasons to cancel spotify:

Fortress at Emporium in Melbourne on Sunday night I think made up for not training, thinking all the Kyokushin I did helped with arcade...or would it work the other way around...? Those punching power machines testing my accuracy and power, my personal best was 821 then a lot of DDR, footwork 1/2

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!

This , this, 1000% this! GenAi companies, wether they be OpenAi, Meta, Google and so on, are absolutely out of control. However, WE have so much power in our hands if we just pay attention, call, send letters, and vote! Yes, even in this messed up era.
