I for one am not at all worried that the most powerful people on earth have optimized my society and my brain to be ultra-reliant on the misery machine we keep in our pockets.

Apropos of nothing, here's a thread of worker-owned cooperative news sites that you might want to support: www.404media.co/membership/

Virtually all incitement to political violence comes from the right. Virtually all political violence comes from the right. The right made a felon and rapist POTUS. Meanwhile, the left keeps nominating for POTUS lawyers who believe in rule of law. Do *not* let this timeline gaslight you. Ever.

Use this post to speedrun past a lot of discourse

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

Yup.

I'm beyond excited to see this released, and I've already got tickets for the virtual screening. The simple act seeing this through to completion is awe-inspiring, and I think the hard-work and passion is, at the very least, worth a few dollars and an exciting movie night if you're able!

Are...movie trailers finally becoming good again? youtu.be/ID0rqEWrN44

This is so so sad, I grew up watching their animated shows i even tried getting work there a few times but due to Canadian hiring laws was not meant to be so sad it can never happen now.😢

Whether or not AI can suffer matters less than the suffering its human creators can cause aftermath.site/ai-suffering...

Maybe we should focus on establishing basic human rights across the board and ending suffering for humans first? Just a thought? I care significantly less (read: zero) about an AI program feeling "unseen" while children starve and women are losing their rights.

over 20% of the global game dev force was laid of on the last 3 years and absolutely none of it was because of piracy

none whatsoever!

ai art is the modern aesthetic of fascism

I don't often post about work, but my brilliant colleagues (specifically one of the Workomics founders, Susan Bartlett) wrote such an incredible thought piece that I must! As a would-be scientific artist, I have a lot of feelings about AI, and this sums them up so well workomics.com/genai-capita...

Very jazzed that @gameinformer.com is back up and running, and looking forward to all the new and continued coverage. I'll also be keeping my fingers crossed that the print edition eventually ships to Canada, because I would love to start collecting gaming mags again 🤞

One day I'll finally play #Expedition33... I don't know when that day is, but hopefully, between constant checking, email alerts, and this standing order from Amazon I placed on April 23, it'll happen soon 😂

None of these massive corps closing game studios and firing people actually need to do any of this to survive. But number must go up. Stockholders must be satisfied. And execs must make cuts to look smart and prove they only care about growth above all else. It's gross and destructive.

Sidewalks are still an absolute mess - this widespread lack of basic accessibility during an election is undemocratic.

Words can't describe how much I hate this timeline

I just beat Sekiro for the first time, so I think I'm done for year. I don't think it can get much better than this 🤷🏼

Christmas Connections!! I made three for you… Easy connectionsplus.io/game/36m0IW Medium connectionsplus.io/game/njLHSk Hard connectionsplus.io/game/I3vUHi

Getting daydrunk on Christmas is historically encouraged, but now it's a necessity to balance out the motion smoothing on every TV owned by someone over 50. Every pint takes off five frames

If you see this, post something toothy 🦷 #MedicalIllustration #SciArt #MedArt

That scream you heard at an Ōkami sequel was me

It's that time of year

I will now devote my life to establishing these elements as my aesthetic 😇

Until the last, dying breath of X, I will still call it Twitter.

How am I supposed to be a productive human today

Generally believing that being kind, respectful, and helping others are values that the majority of the world supports is...difficult today to say the least. Taking today to mostly wallow, and sending everyone all the love I can.

Somehow Palpatine returned

First...post I guess, and on such a totally normal and unremarkable day. Don't mind me though, I'm just going to binge Criminal Minds and play Dead Space since they're both so calming 👀
