One of the most genuinely terrifying depictions of a corporate entity in science fiction was a megacorp turned major religion that figured out how to upload human consciousness to the cloud promising a digital afterlife and how they could leverage people by threatening their loved ones' afterlife...

I really need to revisit Sliding Hero at some point, because what I had played was quite fascinating.

Just had my first poke around Automaton Heart, which launched yesterday. Backed this on Kickstarter because I liked its predecessor, Automaton Lung, so much. Lung was one of the last games released for the 3DS, and one of the weirdest. Like exploring the skeleton of a vast but unfinished 3D Metroid

It's really funny how this websites whole deal when it started was "Welcome. This isn't twitter. We're a beautiful community of unique individuals and our platform is all about finding your niche" and then the staff spent the last few years targeting Palestinians, Trans people, and nsfw workers.

I'm gonna be honest, it's a very long term goal of mine to somehow break into making horror movies, and I am glad there's a pipeline because it gives me hope that it's possible for me, but even making it as a YouTuber right now seems like a daunting prospect, because I'm honestly struggling.

I went to stream, and within 5 minutes my internet cut out. I restarted the router, tried again, immediately cut out. No stream today.

A friend showed me Pathologic last night while I was half asleep and this is all I can remember

This is incredible

I am so fuckin sick of puritanical censorship in the name of appeasing wannabe feudal techbros, chat. Like, we're not only humans who are allowed to be expressive and horny, we're also consenting adults who have chosen to engage with sexual and kink work. This treatment is shit from a butt.

Labeling accounts as adult is admin overreach and is not wanted.

Thinking about how some talented, creative people can immediately torch their entire careers by selling out to AI, lose the respect and support of their audiences, throw any trust and good will they built up, and at that point I don't know if it's even selling out, it's an unwitting "Buy my silence"

still going, baby twitch.tv/VektroidLive

GenAI companies have not seen their products reach wide enough adoption to eventually hold a market hostage and start raising prices to the obscene numbers they would need to be even one tenth as profitable as they've promised their investors.

Once again, sex workers and porn artista were among the first early adopters of bsky. They built the platform up and brought their audiences with them. Now that they have enough mainstream appeal, they want to exile the very people who made their site worth being on. A tale as old as time.

Wishlist ABIDE. This game will upset you in ways you didn't know possible, as horror ought to. store.steampowered.com/app/4289310/...

My most consistent unpopular opinion - an argument I've lost many times in the past 35 years - is that Pride is for the community & the community does not benefit from the parasitic involvement of corporate fair weather friends.

Roasting veg to make soop, and oh my goodness whole house smells amazing. Carrot, celery, red pepper, onion, garlic, olive oil, tomato paste, salt and pepper, mixed herbs. Gonna be a lovely soop.

At any given time there's at least a dozen games from my wishlist on sale that I really want to play but am overwhelmed with so many other games that I can't possibly grab 'em right now. Hoping the next few months are a bit quieter with releases.

You can help Ahmed's family survive Israel's genocide by sharing & donating. His severely ill father urgently needs healthcare that's unaffordable under Israel's genocidal siege. You can help by sharing & donating, Ahmed is just 17 & struggling:

This sucks dude. Labeling a whole account for several weeks effectively feels like punishment for "posting out of line"

A guy got arrested for pulling a trans woman's pants down at Cedar Park, so I want you to think about that, cis people, and ask yourself if you look feminine enough to not have men pull your clothes off in public? And I have bad news for a lot of you.

Sam Altman wants an actual license to kill you. This bill: the "Artificial Intelligence Safety Act"😒 would give companies like OpenAI immunity for mass murder including nuclear, biological, and radiological attacks assisted by their bots. youtu.be/34bMvXOQfEM

Woke up in quite a bit of pain today, here's hoping it passes soon. In the meantime, let me know what you've been playing lately.

🚨ICYMI 🚨 Mina the Hollower is available now on Steam, Nintendo Switch 1|2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Humble Bundle, and GOG! 🥇Mina is currently the highest-rated game of the year, and reading everyone’s reactions has been surreal, emotional, and incredibly exciting!🐭🕯️

Probably my all-time favorite quote about editing is, some clueless individual asked Martin Scorsese's editor Thelma Schoonmaker how such a nice lady could edit such violent movies, and she replied "Marty's movies aren't violent until I edit them."

Lads, Harry Hill is a legend

Today's mood

I would like to see this sort of thing out of every Dem candidate for office it's not that hard to be a decent human being, it just isn't and I know the world is full of shitty assholes who will try to tear you down for it, but I really believe that it doesn't have to be a liability

there's really only two kinds of near future: one in which guys like this are systematically broken on the wheel for the many crimes they have committed, and one where they walk free. only one of these is a viable future

I speak from experience when I say Lee is very talented, super friendly, and knows what he is talking about. I often think of Lee first when I have an idea, and his input has been awesome. A fantastic addition to any team, and a multiple award winner too. Don't think twice, just contact Lee.

Okay, anyone who worked on a game as utterly genius as Cryptmaster should not be financially struggling, hire Lee!

Oh this game is extremely good! 80% off is a steal

Help! My dog keeps hunting these little animals in my yard. I don’t know if this is an endangered species. Anyone has tips on how to stop dogs from doing this?

the columbine shooters were neonazis and nobody was allowed to tell anyone that for like thirty years, and as a result instead of a public backlash to and government crackdown on neonazi internet groups, we have neonazi interns running the government
