I wrote this huge, 3,000-word or so deep dive into the state of game actors’ contracts in the UK, which is a hot mess of exploitation, AI clauses and chaotic rate calculations. And no one read it. But you really, REALLY should. www.gamesindustry.biz/contracts-fo...

one year ago today i did a Good Thing

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI. I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

I am a little disappointed when the conversation is focused around "it's art not porn!" because the adult games devs get very little support but have been dealing with this for far longer, and they've been sounding the alarm for that deplatforming coming for other games (such as LGBTQ+ content).

Also, as someone who worked on HORSES and has also made porn games + comics: I really don't appreciate when people put down one thing I made to uplift the other! Especially considering no one at Santa Ragione *ever* framed it in these terms when we were discussing the Steam ban

I don’t know how to stop borrowing grief from the future and that’s really fucking annoying because in the back of my mind all I’m thinking is “if the future is going to be that painful then what am I even doing here” and I know that’s not healthy but I’m not entirely sure how to stop doing that

Yes, you've heard of stone soup, but have you ever heard of stone SANDWICH?

hardly the most important thing but “i can’t see if anyone survived my war crime through the flames and smoke on the drone camera image on the screen in the pentagon” is not what “fog of war” means

on the one-year anniversary of the 12.3 failed coup in South Korea, Hankyoreh did this nice feature of young Koreans -- including those in working class, disabled, LGBTQ+ spaces -- who joined in the mass protests and whose lives have been shaped by it since english.hani.co.kr/arti/english...

“I trust my immune system. I don’t need a vaccine.” Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it. Boxers don’t enter the ring without a plan. It’s the punch you don’t see coming that knocks you out.

And should be understood as an attempt to use public pressure to get trans people out of public life. It’s not about rubrics, and the rubric isn’t the TA’s fucking fault. But the precise mechanisms of pressure used here should be deeply concerning to anyone in academia or who cares about it.

So, an OU student a shitty reaction paper in a psych course, got failed by a grad student TA for not following directions and threatened legal action, while also getting her uni TPUSA chapter to post the essay. Her mother is on X saying trans people must not be allowed to be professors. This is…

I know hypocrisy is a feature not a bug in this era but if the Chinese government said it had intel (which they refused to show or verify) on U.S. citizen criminals who were doing things that negatively impacted Chinese citizens so they did some targeted strikes on or right off american soil…

"Can you draw me???" 🫠

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

When are they bombing Wall Street?

If JK Rowling herself doesn't separate her art from her transphobia, and has said she sees every Harry Potter fan as a fan of her transphobia, and uses every dollar she makes to fund transphobia, I need people to stop insisting they "separate art from artist" because it's beyond disingenuous atp

Stephen Miller and his friends in the government adore the 1924 Immigration and Nationality Act, which created the "Asiatic Barred Zone" and heavily restricted immigration from anywhere other than Western and Northern Europe. 100 years later, they're trying to replicate it.

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this. What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

oh sorry the op was asking for a question: "will you draw my kids book?" "will you draw my kids book?" "will you draw my kids book?"

"i have this great idea for a kid's book" "i have this great idea for a kid's book" "i have this great idea for a kid's book" "i have this great idea for a kid's book" "i have this great idea for a kid's book" "i have this great idea for a kid's book" "i have this great idea for a kid's book" "i hav

These people are sociopaths

The Arizona City Council Member allegedly took the child after she propositioned a colleague for sex at a Turning Point USA event.

“I dont want to talk to you anymore . You’re mean to me “ Is closure. Someone admitting they are abusive and transactional isn’t a sign of moral improvement . Repair is Somebody telling you about all the ways they’ve been toxic but has no stories of repair isn’t reflecting They’re bragging

FYI Blick doesn't seem to heavily advertise it but Derwent paint pans and XL blocks are at their lowest price of the year every November and December and shoot back up after the holidays. So, if you were eyeing anything, now is the time.

I'm currently producing a hand-painted webcomic called SABLE: A GHOST STORY! It's been awhile since I worked in the webcomic space and a lot of how it works has changed, but I'm really enjoying the freedom to tell the story exactly how I want to. sablecomic.com

That's because, for most public uses, "Generative AI" is like if you burned millions of tons of fossil fuels, increased carbon emissions& waste heat, & captured more fresh water than many cities use in a year all to make What If Sea Monkeys Constantly, Sometimes Dangerously, Bullshitted People

It's done! My swamp muncher boy got his full color page and I gathered previous sketches and color exploration as well. #art #dragon #creaturedesign #conceptart

This is extremely bad and worrisome for obvious reasons, but it's worth pointing out that this was obviously the student's goal She knowingly wrote a garbage essay for her trans prof's class and when she obviously got a terrible grade stirred up a media storm This was clearly the intended outcome

sorry to post the other site but i did in fact get his ass (microsoft AI CEO)

What a great headline

The country started falling to pieces in MONTHS the moment the got rid of the Black women and targeted the LGBTQI+ community and went into eugenics MONTHS and STILL STILL we can’t get folks to admit it or make plans to bring those people back .. that’s why shit is failing but …

I’d be able to do art more and do what I’m actually passionate about. I’d be able to spend my time learning and improving and making cool things that I love. I wouldn’t be so scared of failure all of the time.

Treasure Planet 2 (unproduced): The Centurion, art by Emil Mitev It's all the more unfortunate that Treasure Planet didn't find its audience, as it was conceived as the beginning of a saga. A sequel was already in pre-production before being canceled a few days after the film's disastrous release.

I added both comm options now and the waitlists should be open to join. I might do a slots system later, depending on how the demand is. If you've never used the site, you just need a free account to join. It's all very simple and intuitive.

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers
