i think it's a good idea to remind everybody that mgs1-3 are so good because kojima had cowriters

Because “Reduce your Carbon Footprint”, while still a worthwhile effort, was essentially an astroturfed advertising campaign by BP to have individuals reduce their personal emissions through lifestyle choices while the oil industry continued to expand fossil fuel extraction infinitives.

some friends and i are gonna be reading through umineko starting next week and i'm SO excited to finally read it for the first time??🧙‍♀️✨ most of all i'm excited to learn what the characters i've been given to voice say about what's going on with me 🎃💦

pathetic but not unexpected

Wikimedia Foundation just fired a long time lead developer of MediaWiki as well as its entire community team for unionizing. If you’re a donor, email [email protected] to protest this move. medium.com/@jakeorlowit...

It would be bad enough to harvest someone's character for soulless AI slop but Peretti not only did it in spite of Brantz' pleas not to, he apparently tried to get her to sign an NDA instead which means he knows exactly how fucked up it is

Any time a creative turns to this tech, they are saying "I do not respect the people who do this thing. I do not value their creative contribution to my vision. I think they are so worthless, they can be replaced by the machine that ate their work." It's not surprising this is seen as hostile.

ALA employees voted to approve the formation of ALA Workers United (ALAWU), a new union representing staff at the association. The National Labor Relations Board will now certify the union, allowing workers to begin collective bargaining. Read more: https://bit.ly/4e6hCXc

Today’s free newsletter is about how LLMs are the perfect grift to exploit an economy dominated by do-nothing managers and executives disconnected from any real work, and how the facade is crumbling as companies pay the true cost of AI. www.wheresyoured.at/the-revenge-of-the-business-idiot/

Boycott Uline.

“Please have 2+ years of experience with an engine we announced on Friday” really sums up the state of the games industry.

Japan's Supreme Court will rule this year for the first time on whether barring same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. Ahead of the verdict, Marriage for All Japan has taken its "Love Wins" campaign nationwide. Here's what they hope to achieve with their 47-prefecture campaign.

zohran mamdani announced a plan to seize properties from bad landlords and private equity if tenents suffer from neglect and i genuinely do not think i’ve seen rightwing circles this mad in reaction to anything i’ve ever seen before lol

A reminder: You're not supposed to be blocking people to punish them (though the way social media works often makes that an apparent side-effect, assuming they want the attention of you and people you know), you're supposed to be doing it to feel comfortable, maybe even safe. For yourself.

What boggles my mind more than anything else about AI art is how standards and QC seem to have been utterly abandoned. I'm pretty sure if an artist had turned this in it would have been sent back with notes. And the fixes wouldn't take too long to make. But apparently no one gives a fuck any more?

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

WIP of a tank, again from tutorial by Grant Abbitt. Tried using an array to make the treads follow a curve, which didn't work out so I had to place each link individually. Something to follow up on and try to learn, for certain.

Canada is literally handing over refugees rejected at border to ICE in the US. Haitian refugee Markens Appolon, for eg, sought refuge but Canada handed him to ICE agents. He is still in ICE detention. There is a seamless connection between Canada's new anti-migrant laws, like C12, and ICE terror.

if you actually don't want AI poisoning every god damned thing in the world, it's time to walk away from these morons

Lib: [sees the way our culture's fucked up power structures reflect itself in, say, pornography] Lib: "ah yes. The Porn is the problem"

this is why I find climate dooming so frustrating there is no point - none - at which throwing up your hands and going “well we’re fucked” is the correct response every tenth of a degree matters and can make a big difference and is worth fighting for

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) isaiprofitable.com

A few recent Otto Octavius/Doc Ock studies! :] Well, 8 of em, to be exact! 🐙 ☀️

Hugely proud of @emilyaster.bsky.social, @smight.bsky.social, and everyone else involved in making the Pit Crew's 2026 TRANS-AM such an incredible success. Over 75k USD raised for the trans lifeline? Truly fine work. Trans rights and fuck the nazis. 🏳️‍⚧️✊

“Why don’t American studios make shows for teens, Japan makes a ton of anime for that age range and it’s very successful” The answer is because Japan make a ton of anime for that age range and it’s very successful. The American studios are like “great we can just license shows someone else made”

Still have a fairly bad lingering cough today, so gonna skip the stream :( Please visit these other fine folks! @yeahthanks.cool @pipopixie.bsky.social @smight.bsky.social @gnomebitten.bsky.social @torpidtypist.bsky.social
