This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.

Ivalice Miku:

From this point on, I'm forced to assume that every elected politician who does not immediately call for Trump's impeachment is in the Epstein files. Sorry. Just cutting the Gordian knot here, as one does during societal collapse.

"Oh my godddd okay so you don't like genAI because it steals from artists, makes processes slower, creates more work for underpaid employees, is supported by data centers that are poisoning Black communities, doesn't even look good, and no one asked for it, but do you have to be so MEAN about it"

If you like Super Mario Brothers 3 you should definitely check out Kitsune Tails. It's the only non-ROM hack completely original spiritual successor to SMB3 specifically that I can think of, and it's a very good one at that. Play the lesbian fox platformer with kuribo shoes

Femlink Friday! She's the Bomb(chu Alley Girl)!

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

*taps sign* Any individual member of the House can force a vote on impeachments and anything impeachment-related.

Could a person with depression do this?! (grimly goes about activities of daily living)

The very first lecture I had at art school, told us that we weren't there to learn to make beautiful images. We were there to learn to communicate ideas. (That could sometimes be beautiful but also not.) If we wanted to make "soulless beauty" we were pointed to the door. This was 20 years ago.

"megachurches are shen yun for white people" is an incredible and damning true statement

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

Oh my god I was right

reminder:

picking the podcasters who’ve been some of the worst at true crime to head the FBI really has been a choice

finally my turn to post one of these

Here’s a picture.

“Emily, you have a Stomach Book, 100 Gecs, Femtanyl type vibe”

Well I'm sure this will put the issue to bed

Never stop shaming people about the use of genAI. It's pretty much the best weapon against it other than not using it.

Baby, It's Cold outside.

oh my god

Autistic communication gives people the benefit of the doubt. Instead of trying to figure out what they’re “really thinking” or reinterpreting them to themselves, we take ppl at their word, and respond in kind. NTs can misread this in an infinite number of ways.

the tea party was really a seminal shift in how the median congressperson behaved in person you stopped needing to be a successful schmoozer and started needing to be a totally unreasonable lunatic to win your primaries, and social media has only accelerated this

Trans kids, trans adults, trans all of you folks I’m so glad you live. I’m so glad you’re here and I hope you know there are so many rooting for you, fighting for you and hoping you get to live the best life you can

For the first time in what feels like forever, I made some art! It's fanart of @magicariot.com's delightful queer magical girl series Magica Riot, in the style of that one cute eyecatch from Sailor Moon R

Every time I see DARE mentioned, I'm required to talk about how my DARE officer got busted for trafficking, a month after my class finished the program.

Wishing everyone at Naughty Dog a very Merry Unionize Right The Fuck Now Holy Shit

close friends with the VP

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

there is a reason librarians very intentionally don't record this information. this is that reason

- Daisuke Amaya (Cave Story, 2004) - Derek Yu (Eternal Daughter, 2002) - The Behemoth (Alien Hominid, 2002) - Jun'ya "ZUN" Ōta (Touhou Project, 1997) - the numerous shareware devs in the 1990s All devs I'd sooner call "the father of indie gaming" over Jonathan Blow.

They buried it because it blamed the same exact consultants and orgs that scapegoated trans people and "the groups" for the loss. They can never accept any responsibility for their failures. The Dem establishment can never fail, it can only ever be failed.

Lord Forgive Me, have CDI Link

republicans believe children should be forced to carry pregnancies to term and should be allowed to be pushed into coercive marriages by their parents because they see children as fundamentally sexually exploitable and i am tired of pretending their transphobia has some other angle

if you would set yourself on the path of vengance, first dig two graves. also, we could use a new latrine out by the fence line. and, since they already marked where all the buried wires are could you dig a trench for a project i'll be starting next month?

Latest Dwarf Fortress patch notes. Sounds like there have been a few Incidents.

holy shit it actually is the physics thing

almost nobody is willing to update their priors, but when your entire brand is "we are only following where the data leads us" and then you refuse to change your views when the data doesn't back you up that sort of gives the game away
