Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

"KH5 can reuse assets from KH4" Right. Because KH fans LOVE IT when KH uses the same Disney worlds again and again.

I don't give a fuck, I will leave this site! THEY'RE PRACTICALLY NEWBORNS, I HAVE NO TIME INVESTED, FUCK IT, I HAVE LEFT BIGGER AND BADDER

I looked into 5 moments in Kingdom Hearts where references were lost in translation. Sometimes it's just a harmless mistake, but there are some pretty big callbacks that only Japanese fans got to experience! youtu.be/kUulDm-ZpiM

Be certain, as is always the case with things such as this, that ANYTHING can be considered sexual and can end in a blanket account shadowban under this. It is easily weaponized it is determined by an AI moderation system. There is no accountability or recourse. you probly can't read this.

Heads up for any artists/writers/etc currently using Linktree to point people to their work: from 5 July they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E.

If you're part of the $7 tier on our Patreon, we've just dropped a piping-hot tea spilling session on the state of KH Discourse: www.patreon.com/posts/159655...

Persona fans take the games anti-capitalist, anti-adult themes to heart which is why THEY ARE ALWAYS LEAKING SHIT meanwhile, KH fans are too PURE and SELF-RIGHTEOUS and SCARED OF NOMURA to leak shit. I HATE HAVING MORALS.

Reducing the creative teams working on these films to an unacknowledged woman in this metaphor is so fucking disgusting I don't even know what else to say here. They want the bare minimum human interaction and the maximum output in their direction only. That's not creative work, that's grifting.

“Creative breakthroughs happen when visionary storytellers are given access to transformative tools”-- Actually, creative breakthroughs happen when people don't have to drink brown water from data center waste. This is not cool or accessible, this is disingenuous & disappointing.

Hot take: 100 Acre Wood was a perfectly acceptable length in KH3. Not every world has to be three hours.

We're BACK with @sonnynovus.bsky.social to talk about MISSING LINK! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuqd...

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

RPG Maker U2U has been officially revealed which will allow users to create HD-2D-style games. Called "P2D" (Perspective 2D), users can create 3D depth and rich effect expression to conventional 2D maps.

no more mass appeal

wow ok, so even as IGN management is pushing for more of IGN's new hires to live in LOS ANGELES, known to be wildly expensive, it's standing its ground on annual raises even smaller than what it already agreed to for IGN's sister union?? without these folks, you have no website, no IGN. pay them!!!

Is it too late to say that I think people still blow the whole Nomura retiring thing out of proportion.

For the record, this proposal specifically targets gender identity. You have until May 22nd to submit a comment

I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT NON-DIEGETIC ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ABOUT LORE AND THEORIES FOR THE FUTURE. I DON'T FUCKING CARE IF YOU THINK THE ANSWER LIVES OR DIES BY "NOMURA DIDN'T THINK OF THIS IN 2002". FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF.

People who hate the camp and whimsy are playing the wrong fucking series.

I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT NON-DIEGETIC ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ABOUT LORE AND THEORIES FOR THE FUTURE. I DON'T FUCKING CARE IF YOU THINK THE ANSWER LIVES OR DIES BY "NOMURA DIDN'T THINK OF THIS IN 2002". FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF.

There are plenty of things that are both legal and stupid.

BELIEVE IN THE KUJI

The data, btw, can be read a thousand different ways. The data itself may be neutral, but reading it isn't. So in the end, they're still actually making decisions based on gut instinct, but their own biases are tricking themselves into thinking it's based on numbers. I've seen it happen in real time

It's actually more efficient and cost effective to just make a whole bunch of episodes, but that would require confidence from the network based on gut instinct, which is something they've stopped doing now that they've all been infiltrated by data-obsessed tech bros.

He's right. It really messes with momentum. You can't build momentum if you don't have anything to... you know... maintain momentum. It also really fucks with efficiency. You have to get a new batch of artists on the next season because the previous artists were all laid off and got new jobs.

I don't know why I've been so happy making fake KHUX assets lately, but I HAVE BEEN

It has come to my attention that various outlets and people are sourcing us for the Bill Farmer thing when the news was already TWO MONTHS OLD WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IT.

NEW VIDEO WENT UP TODAY! We're chatting with @aid1043.bsky.social! ABOUT LOST MOBILE GAMES! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMdK...

Literally, I'd say 3/4 of people I know in LA have been laid off to some extent in the past couple of years. How the fuck is this city supposed to survive.

I'm going to crash out over "Nameless Star is Strelitzia" truthers.

The Adventures of Prince Achmed just turned one hundred years old. It's still among the best movies ever made. For the film's birthday, we're sharing Lotte Reiniger's wonderful firsthand account of its creation: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/a-film-tha...

The sexless Kingdom Hearts fans are asexual, and yes there's a lot, and they're happy -- leave them alone. They're good. They got their snacks, they got their spreadsheets they ain't gotta spread sheets.

I know that we never see the whole fall of Radiant Garden on screen but the amount of misconceptions about it TO THIS DAY are maddening.

This is also what we (me) in the animation industry call "quick rims"! When you're compositing a 2D character onto a BG in after effects and you realize it would look better with a rimlight, you do this and hopefully it's not noticeable. Blur the shadow layer a little and it's even less noticeable!

I like this old piece!

I LIKED SEEING THAT! That's all.

It probably hit me at just the right point in my life, but capitalist oligarchs and big tech as THE VILLAIN, I mean, I know it's obvious but it felt like the realest choice they could make. The movie was fun, ridiculous, but also DIRE. The characters were all (in some way, shape, or form) terrified!

Hi, I know I'm supposed to rip everything apart and hate legacy sequels (and I do) but I have to be the Devil Wears Prada 2's advocate. I really liked it, you guys.

Is this fucking game coming out this year

Remember this every time a Reasonable Democrat says we should be onboard with legal/technical measures to stop minors from accessing adult content Once you create a category of Bannable Speech, you've created a tool for the powerful to ban any speech they want; just put it in the Bannable category.

I'm sorry but if you think the KH4 screenshots from last year look bad...WHAT? I'm sure it'll get more polished, of course, but acting like they look rough is CRAZY.

Yell at me, idgaf, but I really dislike the "Kairi will be the one to go to Disney worlds in KH4" thing. I get the argument! Kairi needs more to do and Sora just visiting Disney worlds isn't different from what he'd be doing in the realm of light but this feels so REDUCTIVE TO ME.
