This is probably not gonna go anywhere, but I might as well call out that it's the Spotify model of revshare but for games, which famously doesn't pay anyone fairly. I've also never heard of this organization until today or, with respect to the devs, any of these games

ICE has been hacked! And you can explore the data, which includes every DHS contract, in this convenient new tool micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts

As someone who went on the Internet for the first time in the early 90’s, I fucking loved the Internet. It has given so many things in life, and afforded me so many incredible experiences. And to see it, and technology in general where they are today is kinda soul crushing.

The whole point of defending the right for uncomfortable, or even reprehensible fiction to have the right to exist isnt that its all cool and nothing is ever wrong with it Its that government/corpo organizations will NEVER look at things with the """nuance""" you think is so self evident

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art) Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...

I'm so tired of having to defend porn made by consenting adults for consenting adults when our government is run by literal child predators that are hurting people everyday

RT if $3000 would literally change your life

Reconstruction didn't go too far enough. Slavers don't get mercy. That's it.

All these people are saying "the United States hasn't been free since Israel was created" and uh...something about Jim Crow and Japanese Internment Camps makes me think the 1940s US jusr wasn't all that free? Who exactly were we free FOR?

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

it’s also all related. the men who traffic children with impunity are the same ones who start wars, bomb schools, support genocide, ignore laws, shirk taxes, beat their wives and children, and steal every dollar they can from the people. it’s all an expression of the same belief: no one else matters

A healthy film industry makes sleazy movies. Weird, borderline kink films are like coal mine canaries- they're offensive, often deeply personal, and a foil to the clean blandness of big budget propaganda. A lack of bizarre "not to everyone's taste" films is an indicator of a sickly studio ecosystem.

Be genuine

I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.

in america, if you go over your 3 minute allotment to speak, men with guns come to take you away.

Pressure VRchat now, they also use Persona. Vrchat uses persona. Vrchat uses persona. Persona is backed by Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel is pushing for a surveillance state in the US and appears in the Epstein files hundreds of times.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

Hey definitely call your senators about this. Like seriously.

"Yeah, everyone just go ahead and delete TikTok now if you haven't already."

I would not call this a walkback at all, more like they are mansplaining to us that we are overreacting and what they want to do isnt that bad - still keep up the heat tho.

I always see posts that are like "what was your most popular piece" No Artists, show me dome pieces that under-performed. What were some drawings you were excited about, but didn't really hit with your audience?

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

i always love it when liberals critique me for being part of some leftist hive mind when like, I voted exclusively for Democrats. I told other people I thought it was best to vote for Democrats. The Democrats lost. And they didn't lose because leftists refused to vote for them.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

sorry everyone we at pencil company know you liked pencils, but we can't think of any new ideas for them, so we're discontinuing pencils tomorrow. also, you won't be able to access all your pencil drawings, please burn them, cool

White supremacists and transphobes will choose to remain in a social circle brimming with pedophiles as long as there are no black and trans people in them. Youtubers chose this. Network anchors chose this. Presidents chose this. Happily. Willingly. Are STILL choosing it.

Joanne’s team reached out to Epstein. Not the reverse. And years after he’d already been committed. This would destroy anyone else’s career, but Joanne will just look at the reports, say something smug, blame trans people some more, and then go bathe in her endless money.

Don’t ever let people forget this.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

This is TODAY Call your reps. Make your voice heard. Demand them NO FUNDING. Help stop this hell we're seeing in MN and know is happening elsewhere over the country as well.

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

Every techie and cyberpunk aficionado has failed if they've excluded furries. It's testament to the lack of imagination these "visionaries" truly have, creating a virtual world where your boring toon self goes to meetings instead of being a 50 foot big-tiddie dragon-woman who steps on cars.

SHELVED BY GENRE awakens far below the Misty Mountains, and with riddles and talking eagles and exploding pine cones, the hosts continue their discussion of THE HOBBIT! Also, we learn so much about what Tolkien thought of airplanes. rangedtouch.com/2026/01/16/t...

You may ask why These Guys have all appeared right on cue to act like a 20 year old good squad is an irreplaceable cornerstone of reality. The answer is that 20 years is long enough for it to feel normal and therefore any change to it is the most terrifying thing some comfortable folks can imagine.

JUST LIKE THEY DID WHEN MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTED A WEALTH TAX OH WAIT THEY DIDN'T MASSACHUSETTS ACTUALLY HAS MORE RICH PEOPLE NOW BECAUSE THE STATE CAN AFFORD TO BE A NICER PLACE FOR EVERYONE TO LIVE

It's patriotic to protect wolves 🐺 A survey revealed 78% of Americans support continued protections for gray wolves under the ESA - including ranchers, farmers, + rural residents in states with wolf populations. Americans want wolves protected. So why is Congress trying to remove protections?

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

I was teaching in austin during this race, and another teacher in my cohort was dear friends with Jessica Cisneros, the woman running against him. Pro abortion, pro-medicare for all, immigration attorney for RAICES. And the dems backed her conservative opponent.

Ngl it really bothers me when people go “eh, this is the norm now” over this or getting their photo taken now whenever they’re visiting the US. It’s not normal. And it shouldn’t be brushed off so easily either.

Few animate with paint on glass. But Martine Chartrand wanted to do it. So, she flew across the world to learn from the best -- Alexander Petrov. He mentored her. In turn, she fought to revive his struggling career. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/two-artist...

An anonymous Japanese game studio is making applicants draw in front of them during interviews to prove they don't use generative AI 🎮 “Only human creators can produce compelling characters and graphics from scratch”

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked. Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight? Also go support Nakufin.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

remember, Salvation Army is a big NOPE use your extra $$$ for mutual aid groups

i figured i should make a post about this since its kind of important and i wanted to get the word out

i'm sorry but ai images really make your product and business look like it's not any good and should probably be avoided. No exceptions. Sorry but it's not gonna change :(
