GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

I am still looking to make rent and food for this month! Please let me know how I can support you. There are a couple of options on my ko-fi, but I can basically provide writing support, creative support, planning, and research support. Anything but numbers. ko-fi.com/erikaphoenix

(With Alt Text.) Even if you no longer buy the battle pass, V-Bucks, Skins, etc., if you keep playing this game, you are still supporting it. They can still make money off of you, even though you are not giving them any of your money. If you are anti-AI, don't just drop Fortnite; drop Epic Games.

omg my home city, and at skelton grange?? the place that teaches kids about the environment and has outdoor classes?? jesus fucking christ dude

Why can’t the wildfires be at the data centers though? 🥺🥺🥺

⚠️Attention to all my streamers⚠️ I'm unsure how aware everyone is, but #Twitch is once again trying to bake Gen AI and Survailance BS into it's settings! Do the following: Stream Dashboard > Settings > Stream > Under "Enable Clips" Also, DO NOT JOIN the waitlist for the "Auto Clips"!

We have added the new mass lobby date to the WTT protests page here: whatthetrans.com/compilation-... (Wednesday 9th September 2026)

Please, for the love of life itself, don't use AI in your video game. You'll have to disclose it on steam, people won't want to play it, and you'll have burned down the earth for NOTHING.

so in case you're wondering why this is showing up out of nowhere this is twitch using the same tech as the AI stream summary to monitor your stream for you saying this since most people turned off the AI stream summary you can turn this off too by going to Settings -> Stream in your dashboard

Back on the Planet Zoo train....oh no please don't make me build a train twitch.tv/erikamightbe...

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

Hello! We’re a AAA studio and we’ve made a beautiful game about how bad the Torment Nexus is and how you shouldn’t throw people into the Torment Nexus because that’s evil. And now that the game is out, we’re going to throw everyone that made it… into the Torment Nexus! For the shareholders!

OogusWagoogus is right. It’s time to be annoying as fuck. Don’t get this game, don’t engage with the game, avoid it!!!

"Hi I'm Triple A Game Studio. We listened and we are expanding our offerings to include the whisper of a thought of what a game once was, using burnt earth technologies to make the ghost of who a character might have been and removing the game from your account after 200 hours. If you get that far!"

SHARE IT! SIGN IT! SUPPORT IT! This is the largest petition against Sony's attack on ownership out there at the moment: www.change.org/p/don... Started by PnP Games. If you want to support them (and us), shop games you will own here (ref link): pnpgamesonline.com/?...

🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

I grew up with hand me down games, trading games with my siblings, borrowing and sharing games from rental places or the library. For kids and their families who can’t afford full price, second hand games are life changing. If it weren’t for pre-owned games, i wouldn’t be a gamer.

The year is 2030. You walk into a Gamestop. The shelves are empty. There is a man facing away from you at a counter. You walk up to him and make your request. He turns, his eyes only void, and beckons you closer. You lean over the counter. He whispers in your ear. That is the game.

One day, a game you paid for will disappear. Not lost. Not broken. Just gone. The license expires. The download vanishes. Access gets revoked. They’ll call it progress. But when ownership becomes permission… we’re just renting ghosts.

We're live for a short Aesha Fanclub Stream! Join us for Amazing Race Australia (Celeb Edition). Only one episode as I simply must get ready for an Amazing Race of my own (having a social weekend with anxiety) twitch.tv/erikamightbe...

i'd like to present my argument against digital-only

"so we're retiring physical copies and going digital only. oh yeah also we removed access to movies you purchased and we're gonna shut down the psn store on some platforms so you can't buy games digitally even if you desired so. isn't the digital-only future exciting?" - sony

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.

Grand Theft Auto VI (PS5 / Xbox) is up for pre-order on Amazon: bit.ly/4uZZuU1 Code in a box

Steam’s sale starts today or tomorrow so here’s a tip: Take that money you were going to spend on GTA and see how many indie games you can get with it instead! :)
