There's a screenshot going around of authors admitting to AI use and one of them appears to write hardcore monsterfucking fics and this makes me sad. If you're not writing monsterfucking fics for the sheer, genuine love of the game then what the hell are we even doing here?

It is Mother's Day, yesterday if you're in Australia (me). In celebration of Mothers, please watch my Let's Play of Shelter, a game about Mothers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr2c...

"Let people enjoy things" No. Fuck that. We are witnessing the slow death of all art and we have the power to stop it and painful though it may be to do so the only path forward involves us telling people to stop enjoying things that objectively drain the good out of society.

Nobody's taking away the memories that you made with things at a time you didn't know better. If you grew up on HP, those memories still exist That does not mean you need to buy the new game or listen to the audiobooks or watch the show Stop actively supporting evil cos it makes you cozy

If I hear one more youtuber sputter out an "I hope I'm pronouncing that right" in reference to an easily searchable foreign name I'm going to start lighting people on fire

Loosely organised Squid Thoughts, hot off the back of powering through two and a half seasons over an 18-hour block yesterday.

The thing I keep noticing about every forward-scrolling rails shooter (Starfox-types, you could say) is that the enemy design always sucks and it's one of the biggest reasons nobody ever remembers them: they suck to play enough that people don't want to replay levels over and over again.

someone uploaded a playthrough of mixtape without any of the music to avoid copyright strikes and it is unintentionally one of the funniest things i've seen all week

it smelled like chatgpt garbage, and lo and behold it's just scaremongering for ai services. get thee gone hallucinatory disinformation machine of fascism, may thermite get poured on your servers

It's always "Star Fox Zero is bad because i don't get the controls" and never "Star Fox Zero is bad because the Arwing burns blue both while in atmosphere and in space unlike other games where it's red while in atmosphere and blue in space"

[looks up from 18 hours of Squid Game] Discord was down? Alright then, good on ya.

Guys. Heads up. Let’s talk about Hantavirus. There have been SEVERAL bad takes and BLATANT misinformation circulating regarding this outbreak so I figured it was a good idea to make a thread about it. Stay calm. Stay vigilant. Know your facts. Here’s ALL you need to know. 🧪🧵⬇️

you have to be free and put your fetishes in your work so that you one day get a dm from someone like i loved your game here is fetish art of your characters. and its your fetish. and its awesome

everybody's going to cover their own various grievances with the new/old star fox so i'm taking mine: peppy doesn't look nearly enough of a GILF now. that man should look like he has a bag of werther's originals at the ready between cocksucking

I don't think people understand just how many people of my generation are kind of accidental internationalists simply because that's how everything was and how the world works, the nation-unit backgrounded for the connections and people as a gestalt

it's like my entire timeline is posting "can you BELIEVE what they did to sesame street" and attached is simply a picture of big bird looking entirely normal

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

So have people settled down about the redesigns yet?

The HD StarFox Renders won me over

Anyway the redesigns look fine. Fox and his weird disgusting little freak buddies are all hot and can get it.

Deepfakes are everywhere, but digital forensics investigators are fighting back. Learn more: https://scim.ag/42dMPBg

Starfox is one of those series that always instantly reveals who in games media has spent a significant portion of their careers in close-ish proximity to Certain Individuals: they all scramble over themselves to insist that Star Fox Was Never Good, or The Only Good One Was SNES, or Whatever.

I have absolutely no idea why people are acting like Star Fox zero was also a remake of 64. It's not!? The levels are all different. Is it just because the plot is the same? it's a shmup!!! That's like saying Super Mario World is a remake of Super Mario Bros. Like what the fuck are you on about???

One of your greatest tools as an artist is googling "[object I need a reference for and from a very specific angle] + SketchFab" please enjoy

I see no lies here

There’s a part of me that kinda wants to LP the new 007 game when it comes out…bring it all full circle…

seeing someone earnestly use the r-word in 2026 really feels like being on the highway and seeing an old-ass rusted pontiac shooting black smoke out the tailpipe and shit. like what devil magic keeps you goin how are you keeping up with the rest of us

Any anti-kink discourse which can be defeated by the question "do you understand the difference between fiction and reality?" Must be recognized as a tool of fascism and queer genocide

I launched an indie webcomic hosting platform several months ago that offered a free and a $4/mo paid plan. This was purely to cover the cost of the infrastructure. But in seeing it grow, I'm no longer worried about the cost. So yeah Webcomic Studio is now free. webcomic.studio

Truly, everyone needs to come around to the understanding that RFK jr and the MAHA movement do believe that many people are unworthy of life

Chrome is reaching into users' machines and writing a 4 GB on-device AI model file to disk without asking. It is the weights for Gemini Nano, Google's on-device LLM. Chrome did not ask. Chrome does not surface it. If the user deletes it, Chrome re-downloads it. www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-...

i need everyone to realize that many of bluesky's "safety" decisions are just thinly-veiled transphobia.

If you ever start to worry about being cringe, just think about the time when we were working on the Animaniacs Reboot & one of my coworkers saw an artist whose body of work was largely drawing Columbo as a furry in the style of Don Bluth & said: "We should hire this guy."

The best time to leave Substack is when the Nazis showed up, which was years ago. Every day after is a bit worse, so the best time still available to Substack publishers is right now. There's countless not-openly-welcoming-to-Nazis options, including Ghost, beehiiv, Kit, Keila, and many more.

sorry to bring this back but

This is also fine for, like, anything. I first started watching Doctor Who seeing my parents watching midway through Tennant 1 and was intrigued enough to keep watching, the emotional moments got me, and I decided to go back later on and see what the rest of it was about.

happy star wars day to this tweet in particular

Nothing can prepare you for how literal this description is until you see the ad.

Quick update, Ace Combat 7 is the goddamn bomb WOW

Not that anyone needs yet another reason to steer clear of Microsoft, but VSCode now adds Copilot as a co-author of all your commits, regardless if you used Copilot. This was added silently as a default. This is some next level insanity.

it's so fucked up that 'roguelike' now means you get three random upgrades at the end of a level instead of "occasionally the game will generate a gnome with a wand of death and obliterate you (in the event that you havent already died accidentally falling down a set of stairs while overencumbered)"

Idk man I feel like even if AI scraped from 100% ethical sources, had zero impact on the environment, and produced gorgeous work, I’d still think you were a bitch for using it

can you follow me on x the everything app real quick? yeah the ai child pornography app that makes everyone completely fucking stupid, that one. yeah in 2026

hot take: women are less likely to use AI because we’re quick to clock flattery as a tool of manipulation
