This is interesting drama to follow lol TLDR, the people who made the AI coke commercial are denying it and generating fake concept art, actual concept artists are ripping it all apart as fake because the guy has no idea how any of this works

ME AS A CHILD: i cant wait till im an adult, then i can finally Do Things ME AS AN ADULT: the spectre of Things To Do haunts me from sunup to sundown, and beyond

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

If you are (or know) someone who'd be down to do EN>JP translation for a ~300 page 18+ queer comic in the near future please let me know! Paid work of course, thank you so much ✌️💕

Oh, that sucks - just found out that the excellent Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock is getting delisted next week. Presumably licenses expiring It was a bit threadbare at launch but the DLC really bulked it out into my ideal BSG game. Shouldn't be too hard to source once it's delisted but still sucks

Was in my local Asian grocery for a quick in and out purchase (instant coffee sachets - they didn't have the brand I wanted, boo) but then "What It Sounds Like" from Kpop Demon Hunters started playing on the in-store comm so I had to pretend to browse for 4 minutes while mouthing along to the lyrics

10/10 take. No notes.

I've moved the due date to 2026 as not going to release this year now - hopefully early in next year. More time for you to get ready for space-faring shenanigans, puzzles and ancient mysteries!! store.steampowered.com/app/2242270/... #pitchyagame

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

There is a special place in hell for people who can clearly see there's a line for the Costco checkout, manuever their cart around to the front under the innocent auspices of "don't mind me just browsing the shelves close to the cashiers ha ha ha" and then cut in line once they're around the corner.

i think it's good actually that a videogame prominently featuring AI voice acting is finding success while my VA friends haven't found steady work in years and have their rates forcibly ground into dust over the few reliable gigs left but hey the game is really fun right!!!!!!!

Haha yesss. Japanese copyright law doesn't fuck around. Since I get challenged on this a lot: U.S. and Japan are both Berne Convention signatories, meaning the copyright is recognized between countries. They CAN go after American companies. And they are. And I love it. variety.com/2025/digital...

“0% woke shit” a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

Hey, friendly reminder that Scott Cawthon's donations to the GOP literally contributed to SNAP suspension and you shouldn't buy or stream Five Nights at Freddy's anything.

"You fucking nerd," he added. "You utter dipshit." (He did not say this)

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

really hope this is the last time this photo and the word 'bloodbath' share a headline

"Despite my Performance Review, I'm gonna keep my eye out for awhile longer!" I VOICE Trooper Clara Faulkner in @obsidian.net 's Outer Worlds 2, as well as lots of background voices! I loved New Vegas and the first game, and respect Obsidian's approach to RPGs, so it was very cool!

Demonschool is more spooky than scary but two young ladies who played the game at the Tokyo Game Show SCREAMED when they saw this happen in the demo, dropped the controller, and ran away apologizing.

Briana White - Aerith’s voice actress in the FF7 series- is currently running a huge charity auction with a bunch of Final Fantasy memorabilia. And all proceeds are donated Immigrant Defenders Law Center - helping for legal funds and reconnecting families. Take a look! tiltify.com/@thestranger...

Another day of AI slop and misinformation, another day that I recall Cuil Theory and how tech companies need to be (and still are!) continually mocked for pushing bad product.

Fighting back against AI is great. But please hire more trans women. One would be nice. More than one would be ideal. Zero is… telling.

Press/Content Creators hit us up for codes 🥳

This was a hard part of lightbox expo; animation students about to graduate would ask me how to “break into the industry” and get art jobs, and I had to tell them I didn’t break in and how important dayjobs are, and they just seemed so discouraged by that answer ☹️

Discworld QOTD, from Unseen Academicals “‘As a wizard I must tell you that words have power.’ 'As a politician I must tell you I already know.’”

Chris here. One door closes and another swings open. New things are happening at House Gutierrez. In one day we lost a plan and then gained a new much better one. Let's move some bundles! tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com Let's keep us housed. Got a good chance at a way out before 2026.

someone invited people magazine to the kitchen and they brought their own knives

I am so stoked to announce that I'm the voice of Yoshiki in the English dub of #TheSummerHikaruDied, now available on @netflix.com. Watch this show. Subbed or dubbed, whatever your preference. It is SO GOOD!

the kiri% GDQ run will happen in about an hour!

This should be the biggest news story in the world right now

Hi! I'm one of the millions not getting SNAP benefits this month. Because of that + the fact that I (not a member of SAG-AFTRA) survived the strike by burning my savings rather than working SL6 or NU…my finances are *rough* but not *immediately dire.* I'm open to work with clients of all sizes. ✌🏻

Addams Family Halloween. I may have used half a tube of gel to get my hair that flat.

weird ps1 game i found

terrifying deleted scene from skinamarink

🧵 This is trending on Korean socials

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.

Bought my first "major studio from a major AAA pubisher" game in a while in the form of Outer Worlds 2, going all in on the season pass edition, and never has the regret set in so fast. Laid down all that money for some fun, only for a hotfix to cause infinite shader compilation and ruin my weekend.

For adventure gamers who remember The Old Ways: this is a nice critique of early 2000s gamer snark. Gabriel Knight 3 had some really good bits, and adventure games didn't die - big American publishers just stopped selling them. (The cat moustache puzzle was genuinely bad, though.)

I'm still taken back a bit at how many fantastic games came out in October, got Carimara, Mohrta, Absolum, Tormented Souls 2, The Seance of Blake Manor, and Powerwash Sim 2, so many neat games came out that there's others I'd been looking forward to that I just had to pass over for the time being.

You there. I want you to say, aloud, at some point today "I'm really glad I'm good at..." And then you're gonna say something you think you do pretty well. If you don't think you do anything pretty well, I want you to say "one little thing that makes me unique is..." And if you can't do either?

Hmm. Hey Horror archivists - Condemned: Criminal Origins seems to have been de-listed from Steam. License expired. C:CO feels to me as if it comes from a parallel timeline where Western Horror went a different way. Key re-sellers' prices aren't *gruesome* yet. So, just in case - here's a heads up.

Discworld QOTD, from Soul Music “There is a type of girl who, while incapable of cleaning her bedroom even at knifepoint, will fight for the privilege of being allowed to spend the day shoveling manure in a stable.”

You're gonna see some prolific VA talent get in bed with AI in the coming months/years while their less prolific community members lose opportunities across the board due to it. Some of them don't care. Some of them are too focused on the bag and the attention to do so.

The privacy issue with KOSA "resonating with a large swath of people"-- that's you, that was you calling your reps. Don't let anyone tell you it's pointless Let's do it again for the censorship bills in this new package

anyway here's my twitter post from two years ago explaining my decision to quit VO since it's a) not here and b) a little relevant to things I'm sharing lately

I wanna highlight the last sentence on this post for people because one of the things I self-inflicted for YEARS…turned out to be entirely true. VO has no “break period” in the industry. If you take too long away - to raise a family; recover from illness, etc - it will move on without you, quickly.
