This winter, we celebrated the holidays with a colorful Bulbapedia main page and a festive Bulba from community artist, @poltartgeist.bsky.social!

i still can’t believe that video games get taken so seriously sometimes. we had peter dinklage saying that wizard came from the moon and somehow that was too goofy for a video game with triple jumps

Today’s movies were The Alabama Solution, Timecrimes, and now I’m watching All That Heaven Allows. Watch more movies, read more books, play more games! Enjoy as much art as you possibly can!

Announcing Chicory: A Musical Tale! Releasing March 7th~ I'm delighted to collaborate with @resonantunion.bsky.social, Wishes Unlimited, and a host of talented collaborators on a 32-track arrange album releasing across four discs. It's a real dream project & I can't wait to reveal more!!

you know what time it is. another valentines day right around the corner, another set of indie tabletop rpg valentines

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

Thinking of that account on here yesterday that said it was wrong and anti-poor to criticize this industry and told everyone to ‘read Fanon and Du Bois’ to get on ‘their level of analysis’

A bunch of videogame music arrangers/performers are doing concerts all day on this channel to benefit a charity in Minnesota in response to Trump's racist immigration policies. Several of the performers are from Minnesota too. I know a lot of these cats, definitely mad skill up in here. No ICE.

As a reminder, I will not read your Substack, and I actively implore you to stop using it

Sword & Tea is back! Derek @dsword.bsky.social sits down to chat with Banana Chan @bananachangames.bsky.social about their games at 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern. Join us at Twitch.tv/Sword_and_Key

*ehem* NEW EPISODE! Celebrating 100 episodes with @superdillin.bsky.social as the host of One Shot, they make an attempt at something new - a live radio broadcast playing VOID 1680 AM! But the callers are not what he expected… Links below 🔗⬇️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOmJ...

I can’t believe you would think to post a notes app apology before you fucking paid those people. May the Etsy Witches curse your future works

gotta agree with this. at some point we all have to contend with what good faith is actually for and extend it accordingly

I truly believe that if you think that modern media of any type (movies, games, music) "is all trash" it's a skill issue. You've become too reliant on the algorithm to tell you what to consume. Seek out the good stuff, it's out there in abundance I promise.

We've got a new episode!!! This month is gonna be a little weird trying some things out, let me know what you think and check out all the cool zine projects!!!

Everyone is talking shit about the neopets TTRPG and that rules

Epic made provably incorrect statements about the game’s content, refused to provide details supporting their claims, and has not shared their claimed AO IARC certificate, which normally includes a link for the developer to appeal. They do not ‘love that studio’, they have effectively ghosted us

Hi hiiii! My name is Candace and I’m an actor, improv performer, TTRPG player and GM! You can hear more of my work on 3 Black Halflings, Bloom&Blight, and more, as well as on YouTube here: youtube.com/playlist?lis... You can support me with paid work or at my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/candacethema...

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Job offer!! I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July. This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

15 days ago, we celebrated hitting 500 followers on our #Kickstarter, and now we’re already up to 570! With our Kickstarter launching in just a matter of days, we’re excited to see how many followers we get before launch! Link: www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe... #GameDev #IndieGame #IndieDev

i am a professional editor. i come highly recommended. mind if i step inside your comments-on google doc for the NEOPETS RPG

i still cannot believe that g4 bleeped every "fuck" and "shit" in this clip and then just left that last bit uncensored

I'm about to finish this and I'm screaming and I'm screaming and I'm laughing and I'm screaming THIS IS ACTUAL PLAY BABY

Yes but don't feel like you NEED to shell out the extra cash for a 4k version, especially if it's an older movie. Most of the time the movie isn't actually even in 4k, and you can very likely find a regular blu-ray or hell even a DVD for WAY cheaper

We've got a new episode!!! This month is gonna be a little weird trying some things out, let me know what you think and check out all the cool zine projects!!!

Not going to repost that shill insisting that anti-AI artists are "gatekeeping" art and that it's unfair that some people are simply too poor or untalented to learn how to draw without AI. But I do want to talk about my cousin. 🧵

Lot of attention and new followers today, and want to keep the kind vibes going and pay it forward. Will donate ALL proceeds from Cameos until 2/13 to Lancaster Neighbor Fund, who supports immigrants right in my city of welcome. Kindness onward. cameo.com/bryceremsburg

hi i am still seeking new employment but now from actually inside canada. i have an address and everything! would love for something remote but also a short commute in/around Victoria, BC could be manageable. games preferred but i’m great at any computer-y things tbh

Your subscriber dollars at work: Aftermath has a new regular contributor and monthly columnist. Welcome @adashtra.bsky.social and @jmrivera.bsky.social to our regular rotation of writers! aftermath.site/podcasts/after...

blocked about 20 SWERFy sock puppets on tumblr this morning that were made exclusively to call me a whore and a groomer and to tell me that "rape would fix me" and the Wargamer article about All's Fair upset the Charlie Kirk fandom gamers on Facebook So, I think I'm feeling pretty encouraged tbh

Nothing worse than a creator who gives up any semblance of integrity to become a shill But Dave already sucked shit, so I'm not surprised

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Every person that posts that AI makes art accessible for poor people should be bullied relentlessly. I fished bits of wood out of skips (dumpsters) and stole paints from school/college, I made every gift of paper and pencils last as long as I possibly could. It is quite simply a skill issue.

There’s a free to read post on my Patreon about my inspiration and execution of this piece I made for the Godlings exhibit. If you wanna read it, that would be cool 👉👈 everyone worked really hard on this and it was such a joy to be a part of.

hey i hate this whole thing! www.ign.com/articles/we-...

“Don’t use AI is a luxury position”

People who assign the label "slop" to the third similar game in a genre they see in a year would not survive the era of wii and ps2 shovelware

Getting old is admitting that you wish your favorite series' would actually just die, because them continuing to be alive is a much, much worse fate

we gotta start bullying """"""spiritual successors to chrono trigger""""""

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Man. I get that he's posting anti-AI stuff, but you absolutely do not have to give it to Notch on that

🎸Dead Pets: A Punk Rock Slice of Life Sim is OUT NOW! 🎸 Come rock with us and help make us HUGE! 💥 That is after you help deal with band drama, make rent, and sort out my love life…🫠 You have your work cut out for you... store.steampowered.com/app/1851720/...

OH, Look! Another game translated by magic! This right here is quite dangerous in these times. Why? By erasing us translators from our jobs it makes it easier to replace us with GenAI. We've always been invisible. That gave them a leverage in introducing MTPE and lowering our rates.

As of earlier this week, I made the official decision to step back entirely from Rascal in any formal editorial capacity. I still function as payroll on a very part time capacity, but I am actively looking for non-games related work.

I'm tired of influencers stating they don't want to be political & they want to keep their content fun and be a break from the world. And let's be honest, you're white & feel that none of this affects you. But this tells me you aren't a safe person, especially if you are a TTRPG or gaming person.

You simply MUST check out the latest AP from @panictable.bsky.social Featuring @annethegnome.bsky.social @ohheyitsgina.bsky.social and Laurie Hernandez (who's about to make her Broadway debut!) GMed by @spooky-oh-no.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN2k...

i also have this somewhat weirder noisier project if you're looking for something more along the lines of "distorted vocals about how i think my body is trying to destroy me over a looped bass guitar or toy piano" vibe

"why do you have to post and repost messages about the BDS boycott every time there's a new game announcement or set of trailers" because there's this weird phenomenon of active forgetting that Microsoft is a tech partner of one of the most heinous crimes against humanity happening on earth today
