I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*

Is there a way we can reverse this whole "I finished this game with hundreds of hours of content and now there is nothing left to do, so this means game didn't offer enough content" mentality. I feel like we gotta be more harsh towards these people I'm sorry.

I once read a book of writing advice from the 70's, and one of the 100 guest articles came from The Gordons (That Darn Cat!) titled "Second Time around" where they, as a couple, couldn't remember everything and wished they wrote more down. It helps you track your interests, and it works!!!

Added alt text with full quote. “When I see that, I worry that they might face serious trouble down the line if they don't take it more seriously.”

Dear creative people— Please write down your ideas in some form. You might think that story you think about every moment you can is something you’ll never forget, but someday you’re going to be a different person and wishing with all your heart you could go back there and remember that story.

making vn is easy you just write a book and then you read back each line from that book and think what facial expression are they making and then you draw each expression and then line by line you add a tag for the face they are making. the best part is you only have to do this a few thousand times

it just occurs to me writing a book is generally considered a challenging nd time-consuming thing to do, but making a vn is often seen as 'easy' and 'low effort' even tho making a vn is literally writing a book plus a bunch of extra steps

I’m sorry if my reply came across as too short or casual an answer. It may not have been my intention but it’s an absolutely valid and awesome interpretation to see Frankie as trans. I love seeing what people take away from stories and that will always be the case. It’s the beauty of fiction!

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Frontispiece to Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things (1904), a classic collection of Japanese ghost stories compiled and translated by Lafcadio Hearn, who died in Tokyo #onthisday in 1904. Read its wonderful stories here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/k... #OTD

Andrew Dice (SpaceDrake) took a massive risk bringing over EasyGameStation titles at a time when “doujin” had almost zero visibility. It was a joy to see those games succeed! 10 years ago, he shared his burnout story, so it’s a triumph that he was able to come back for SRW Y. Rest in peace.

This is the same song and dance that conservatives in the USA used for DECADES to gut public services. if youre a canadian resident, its very much worth contacting your reps and telling them plainly that you DONT want public services run "like a business".

i Really need to stop being sick if for no other reason than that will give me less time on YouTube shorts being gaslit into wanting to watch Young Sheldon and Supernatural

Reminder: Oppose and repeal all the age/ID verification laws. They're not protecting their kids but they are censoring you and demanding your personal info. Tell them to stop. Tell them to get rid of this shit.

I ran across this on Mastodon last week. Observations from someone who moved to rural Idaho, and found things far less dire than she imagined. We have WORK TO DO, but it is a fight we can win.

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them. The current climate is especially accelerating this. Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves. Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

Weirdly it's a lesson that keeps needing to be relearned instead of sticking as conventional knowledge. The Evangelion fanbase keeps having to be told that Anno has no deeper thoughts about Christianity, he just Really REALLY loves tokusatsu

i like how you can see the person that made this was full of spite but the message is genuine and pure so instead of the guy looking like an annoying loser he just ended up looking like a chill unc giving good advises

"Never meet your heroes" As a phrase, all it really means is someone you looked up to disappointed you on a fundamental level If you, the "hero", take that as an affront? That someone who looks up to you might some day be disappointed? Then it should be clear why they'd want to have never met you

Always a good time to stand up for the queer and poc artists and creators in this community

no offense but if you are making your personal distaste for someone else's fantasy into everyone's problem then you are actively contributing to the ongoing wave of censorship and deplatforming happening to queer people all across the world and thus are functionally indistinct from the fascists.

Don't forget - we're looking for a 3D Anime Character Artist! Since we're a small, unestablished team, it's hard for us to reach people, so reposting really helps! We're looking for someone who can create work of similar quality to what we already have or better. #indiegame #gamedev

Dear My Phone, My Computer, My Apps, My Electronic Devices, and so forth: Please stop asking me if I want to enable AI. Or use your janky AI tool. Or load my documents or pictures with a bunch of useless, off-putting, earth-killing AI junk. I don't want it. I SAID I don't want it. Stop offering.

i gotta say it was very vindicating to have been talking up how important it is to play classic jrpgs to understand toby fox's work and then he does his 10th anniversary stream and before hes out of the ruins hes mentioned brandish, brain lord, breath of fire, and fucking bokosuka wars

hey game dev types, CDawgVA is doing a game jam with a $10000 prize pool next week itch.io/jam/monkey-j...

what?

to be clear i dont think this is too violent i think if we all accept that we're able to handle this, which we clearly can, we can obviously also handle art where gay furries are getting naked and so forth

i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content
