The only fucking jobs out here are dying in a warehouse to an osha violation, living in a car in delivery service, or starving from working 5 cents an hour in food service

hi pets, me and wife are scared but very close to living in a safe place, so we come here asking for mutual aid. any help is welcome. ko-fi.com/tabymeow my medical condition is a lot clearer since the schizophrenia diagnosis. i suffer from a pain disorder caused by trauma, and it's uncertain if +

elon fucking killed a major piece of not only driving game discussion, but also sheer inherent word-of-mouth advertising. it has no doubt kneecapped many small- and mid-sized titles and i can't even tell what big games are popping off right now unless they have a Little Guy people wanna doodle

DVDs are cheap, some people just won't care. Either they don't have HD players or they have one that's a really good upscaler (My PS5 is a pretty good one). That's about it really. DVDs are dirt cheap to produce these days and they're still semi-convenient for casuals. Good enough for companies!!

I hold this opinion even for games with text heavy stories

Figured I'd share this here but theres an account on twitter called A.Mikusa and theyve been posting ai generated content trained off of my art with insane success and profit, please share my story to get their account terminated- docs.google.com/document/d/1...

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people. It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

Remember that time the DOOM dev team violently destroyed a chair which they'd turned into an effigy of Rebecca Heineman after contractual issues left her unable to do the SNES port of Wolfenstein 3D? Cuz that's a thing that happened.

I just learned that John Carmack misgendered and deadnamed Rebecca Heineman in his "tribute" over on Twitter. He probably thinks it's okay when talking pre-transition days, but FYI, most trans people hate that. Worse, he never calls her "she," switching to "they" for recent memories. Fuck that guy.

I do not use Windows but if you do, here's how to make your computer better

Israel is bombing Gaza again. The so-called ceasefire has only made it harder to draw attention to ongoing violence, but Sama'a and her family need us now more than ever. tinyurl.com/SamaasFamily

I've created a new blocklist exclusively for accounts shilling Sora 2 since the dominant AI block tool hasn't gotten them yet. I crawled tags and intentionally skipped over informative, non biased articles or posts criticizing AI bsky.app/profile/did:...

I quote this far too much.

Bluesky has finally, quietly posted a position for a one-year remote contract Policy Lead, Trust & Safety position. Trans people who qualify, apply here: jobs.gem.com/bluesky/am9i... We need someone competent in this role if this place is going to survive.

in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.

#SaveSpeech Ana's situation has gotten more severe. This is blatantly targetted debanking and [extremely unfortunate] proof that these call campaigns are getting under paypros skin Keep calling Visa and MC and demanding they stop discriminating against adult content! stop-paypros.neocities.org

I've been saying this since the big AI push started, if you didn't bother to spend time making it, why should I spend my time looking at it? Why is my time so much less valuable than yours? If you don't value the work that went into it, I'm not going to either. You're disrespecting me and my time.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

ko-fi.com/almondwolfbe... im reopening commissions cuz i lost my job recently to prevent overwhelming myself im only doing 5 slots at a time, but ill reopen them every time i complete those 5 no kinky nsfw and no complicated pieces if i cancelled your commission last time contact me please

www.badinternetbills.com#stop-csam In addition to calling your reps, this website has both a lot of information explaining why these bills are bad/ why section 230 must be protected, as well as petitions to sign for each individual issue! Signing petitions helps! Make your calls, sign petitions!

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

I think maybe this year we should leave behind this need to be validated by an awards show that doesn't care about the medium it claims to celebrate. Just maybe.

I wish all companies pushing gen ai a merry liquidation

get out of my game, old man !!

I’m not asking for anything for myself, just for every moment I struggle to stay strong for my family.💔 A generouse donation from you could be what helps me get through the day with dignity. 🙏 Share, donate, spread the word… you might be the reason our home feels a little warmer tonight.

We don't need AI, but we do need a livable Earth. We can't have both. #fuckAI#ArtistsAgainstAI#AgainstAI#SayNoToAI

Hi-Fi Rush's Soundtrack Delisted From All Major Streaming Platforms Without Warning (OST still on Steam) www.thegamer.com/hi-fi-rush-s... also worth noting that the game was removed from PC stores (stores that sell Steam codes) last month. Not sure anyone else noticed at the time

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either. If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

FINALLY SOME GOOD FUCKIN NEWS 🏳️‍🌈 thehill.com/regulation/c...

See, look, U.S.A., it's this easy (and should have been done immediately upon the knowledge that these cheats and grifters were STEALING our work)

I think this is at the heart of why AI is useful to fascists. They seek to throttle the imagination, so people won't be able to think of ways to stop them. People won't be able to hope for anything better.

very good and very necessary feature, youtube!

videos designed to piss me off in particular

this was the funniest fucking quit i've ever caused in a game of mortal kombat and this comes from the person who mained kollector in 11

The pre-release for UZDoom's debut is here! If you'd like to help us test UZDoom in preparation for 4.14.3 grab the build here: github.com/UZDoom/UZDoo... (expand the Assets tab) (Windows and Linux available; Mac coming later) Read the details here: zdoom.org/wiki/UZDoom_...

Telling myself this as much as any of my artist mutuals: GenAI has fucked with our perception of process and polish when making work, both as creators and consumers; it focuses on an immediate end-product. IT'S OKAY IF SHIT TAKES TIME! Be kind to yourself and find joy in the process again. 💛✏️✨

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

"You have to embrace AI or you'll be left behind!" You said the exact same thing about monkey jpgs and whatever the blockchain was and look how that turned out. I prefer to keep my creativity and critical thinking skills intact and that will be in high demand after the bubble bursts.

You can set the date further into the future on a Sega Saturn than on Windows.
