I understand why it is the way it is (and Valve are infamously hands-off with this anyway) but I do wish these were more standardized. I saw one game a while back that, if I'm not mistaken, flagged a standard TTS program in their disclaimer, if that's AI everything made in Ren'Py also uses AI.

Two different stores at the mall were playing the same Kpop Demon Hunters song. They really wanted me to find the beauty in the broken glass today.

Screaming for all to hear: The Bechdel test is a joke! I don't mean that derisively, it is literally a joke from Alison Bechdel's comic strip Dykes To Watch Out For.

More good news: After it went so well with the group, I will be running this one-shot at an event put on by my favorite local TTRPG bookstore! If you are in the greater Boston area and are interested DM me and I'll send you the details.

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

Rockstar: "We cannot have a game featuring a Latina baddie as long as Republicans have unified control of government"

I'm not a sonic fan and the movies definitely aren't up my alley but I hope they make a million of them because 1) each one has a Marvel after-credits scene where they show a character from the next movie to hype you up 2) eventually that big reveal is going to be a bat with huge tits.

Don't get why people look at clearsky, someone made a button labeled "inflict psychic damage on yourself" and some of y'all keep hammering it. Though the one time I looked was after saying Marvel/Star Wars were both trash now and seeing how many fan news accounts immediately blocked me was funny.

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖 Hint. Fucking. Hint.

Today we just got 100 new followers and a bunch of people saying "whoa I've never heard of this" re: the game we have been thumping into the ground for the last 3 years by posting one gif from our earliest demo. If you think you post too much about your game: you probably don't!

I can't speak on most of this because, like, I refuse to do a deep dive into a right-wing coffee company but coming from a military household I can tell you 1) Black Rifle coffee tastes foul and 2) they produced a "comedy" zombie movie and it did, in fact, have a ton of butt stuff.

so many good pictures out there

New post on my website! Songwriting, production processes, goofy stuff. https://lexfeathers.ca/posts/across-the-coals-release/

Congratulations to the Cuomo team: it takes a lot of dedication and money to lose one election twice.

What I really want everyone, not just folks in New York, but EVERYONE to come away with from this, is that ANY of these motherfuckers can be challenged. Their stance in the status quo is THAT flimsy, and their grip is fucking FRAGILE. We CAN change this shit, dude

Today is a weird mirrored version of this time last year. It's late, I told myself I'd be doing other things. I can't stop scrolling social media. But I feel the exact opposite of how I felt then.

Sorry for libbing out hard it's just been a while since we had good news.

For the first time in a long I feel like we’re going to take back this country. Fascism on a long enough timeline fails every fucking time. There’s more of us than there are of them. Time for billionaires to start building libraries and hospitals again whether they want to or not.

it is way too perfect that they announce zohrans win almost exactly at the “if you have half a brain lyric” lol

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

Americans have spoken and they demand wokeness

Adams at 0.2%

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

yeah that's right eat shit AGAIN cuomo you filthy sex pest fuck

Remember at the start of the year when everyone, even the man himself, was basically saying "yeah, no shot but we gotta try?"

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

From it's rival East-Coast city, drinking a Manhattan in honor of New York.

Unfortunately I cannot in truth say this, this past year I used ChatGPT to prove to a colleague how quickly it validated delusional thinking. Three inputs later, it gave me detailed instructions on how to talk to a flickering lamp containing my dead mother's soul using tarot cards.

Dwarf Fortress is like video game improv, fully half of it's mechanics feel like something you ask your DM if your D&D character can do and they go "well there's nothing in the rules but it's rad as hell, roll with advantage."

Hey folks, new month so time for another SHOWCASEY! #Showcasey If you are an indie developer with an upcoming game, reply below with a description or elevator pitch of your game and make sure to include a link to your store page. Let's get some eyeballs on those games! (NO GenAI!)

Oh hey, lot of people talking about a once prominent politician early in the morning. Wait, seeing a lot of "was" on here...

Feels like a good time to post this again.

Great video, you get to watch a YouTuber become an IRL Koji Shiraishi character through ChatGPT alone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRjg...

HEADS UP: The Criterion Channel currently has a second stream running with 24 hours of Godzilla films!

New awareness campaign

No I understood your wavedashing reference but frankly I'm insulted that you would clock me as someone who knows what that is

Fandom isn’t your job. Take a month off. Take 3 years off. Post incomplete fics. Post incomplete art. Never post again. Switch fandoms. Stay loyal to one fandom only. Do whatever tf you want. You literally make all the rules of engagement in this arena.

On the subject of memetic phrases that have outlived their usefulness, "it's because you're always on that damn phone" has gone from a dark gag teens do about their parents minimizing their real problems to something grown adults using as a cover for the fact they're always on that damn phone.

Coming off a local film fest very happy with the overall lineup (only had time to see four films this time) but my big takeaway is y'all gotta see Resurrection as soon as possible in theaters. Bi Gan is doing shit you never thought possible with this one.

A film you've seen more than seven times with a gif HARK!

Playing bad games doesn't ruin your credibility, it actually makes you learn about what you like. You start noticing effort, weird ideas, stuff that polished games smooth over. Play more broken, weird, and ambitious trash; it’s good for your taste and good for your brain. #blog #gaming

Okay yeah people really like Cow Társ

New Yorkers you absolutely need to vote in the upcoming election- confidence for Mamdani may be high, but take nothing for granted. Show up please.

Sometimes the wikipedia mobile app freaks out a little and it makes better shitposts than me

Classic survival horror gameplay loop is so good. Turns out scavengers hunts just needed cereal box puzzles and a guy trying to kill you to be fun.
