Was looking up reviews and discovered that the author of one of my favorite book series passed away. RIP L J Smith, your Night World books hold a very special place in my heart <3

That's one for the wishlist. Remember: if you're going to call out the bad, you must also highlight the good.

Currently 14 followers away from 1k on Twitch! I'm losing my mind! Omg!!!

No more calling it "friendslop". They're co-op/multiplayer games. Friendslop is a terribly degrading term used by miserable, friendless basement dwellers who have ever only played FPS while yelling slurs at some kid. Especially sad when the games are fun, engaging, and done with true care.

I've been seeing a lot of games industry and media people kick dirt about this, usually handwringing over how the disclaimer is too vague to be helpful, and doesn't explain how it was used in the process. But I think it misses the greater point. The acceptable amount of AI is None. Nata. Zilch.

Once again joining @spacelion.art for some ff14 but its been moved to tonight, same gay time, same gay channel <3

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

I am a Dragon's Dogma 2 mark, but on top of having one of the best character creator ever available for free, you should also just get the full game because I got so much brainstorming done while playing the game (plus you can make your ocs high five each other)

Keir Starmer: *making life hell for trans people and immigrants, completely failing to help out regular people at all* News Media: "no one can figure out why people are mad at Keir Starmer, it is a mystery"

Revali on June 1st:

I think we need to yell louder, we can do better than 58% let your opinions be heard that we don't want AI crap in our media

once again, furries got to the correct answer before anyone else figured out the question

Thanks @tranterminus.bsky.social for pointing this out. I feel I should spread the word that this Bluesky Licence trend was created by AI. There's no shame in being duped, but you should probably delete them and spread the word to others (don't tell people off just let them know)

In my head it makes sense that folks would use magic to make their bodies look on the outside how they feel on the inside, and there would be an entire industry around swapping around bits and bobs, so I hope V&V feels welcoming to trans folks who deal with stuff like that.

The Paizo offices are closed today to honor Juneteenth! We will be back on Monday, and in the meantime, read Maya's blog to learn more about the holiday and how you can help: buff.ly/p0lhA1S

thread of Black artists and creators who deserve love & support not only today for Juneteenth, but everyday 🧵

In celebration of #Juneteenth let’s get a support thread going! Awareness is nice, but material support is even better. If you’re Black: leave a reply with your payment links (or your shop, commission links, etc). 👇 Everybody else: pick someone and send some dollars. ❤️

✨JUNETEENTH MUTUAL AID THREAD ✨ Here’s a thread with Black folks you can support in celebration of #Juneteenth. Do some good - even if you’re sending $3 to a Black person to treat themselves to a dessert or a coffee! Circulate & give to at least one person in the thread if you have the means 💜

So for this Juneteenth, I went back and updated my feature on the need to incorporate more Blackness into your gaming perspective, more relevant now than when I wrote it years ago. Check it out on @pcmag.com www.pcmag.com/opinions/cel...

The same Pocketpair that still has an AI generative art game available on steam called Art Impostor? Totally performative statements.

Happy #Juneteeth! I'm kelsey a black non-binary lesbian, artist and creative. here is my ko-fi! ko-fi.com/artpastelkel... and my vgen vgen.co/artpastelkel... Consider supporting me!

Not gonna be streaming myself again but as usual I'll be joining @spacelion.art as they make their way through ff14 msq ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Seeing the Peter Serafinowicz Harry Potter announcement just made me think, once again, about this excellent James Acaster bit from Off Menu.

some streamers have this already & as usual, it's opt-in by default If you are opted into this (unsure if any notifications were sent, they usually aren't) then you can disable it in your creator dashboard under Settings - Stream If it's not active on your channel the option won't be there

Guys I downloaded Meccha Chameleon. Am I doing this right?

Hi. yeah. So uhhh. In case there was any doubt left if epic has been shoving slop into fortnite, please allow this to lay that doubt to rest. If you care about artists, your friends who do art, or art in general, i am begging you to never give epic your money ever again

Happy pride, I'm a pan lesbian and this is a reminder if you're still pissy about bi/pan lesbians in the year of our Lord 2026 then you need to get an actual hobby because this shit is actually embarrassing

"Oh this Steam game looks interes-" *Generative AI Disclosure* "oh ok." *Ignore"

Im so excited for the new 40k release on saturday

120 Games to avoid!

Was completely unaware of this until now, but SoundAlerts now offer AI TTS as a Premium feature. I don't think I was using their service anymore anyway, but I'm loudly adding this to the list of slop services I shall be avoiding. 💖

it is really important to be loud about this stuff because it's typically kept very quiet to enable people to go "See? Nothing happened, it was just people being dramatic"

So, hey, @spryfox.bsky.social's title, Spirit Crossing, sadly does in fact use GenAI. Dev's have confirmed as much in their Discord. There is a Claude file in the game files for the playtest that started a conversation about it, and sadly, that will be the end of it for me. I'm heartbroken...

They didn't disclose it because they wanted to get away with it. It's the main splash art for your game! The first impression! And this is what you were okay with? Clothing that makes no sense? A backwards hand? Fucked up cart? If you don't care to make it, why should I care to play it?

Keep your whimsy. Even if it makes you look "cringe". Just cause you're older doesn't mean you have to drop things you liked as a kid or still enjoy. We lose so much of ourselves cause of fear of judgment but you will realize that noone really gives a fuck in the long run. Allow yourself happiness.

In honor of pride month, allow me to showcase this legendary Alex Hirsch tweet.

Oh bsky is falling over again

Indie devs! I had so much fun with Next Fest earlier this year, that I am going to do a dedicated demo day(s) next week!! Link your games below! (Note that I love souls-like, puzzles, and horror the most, but open to everything!)

Got like 5 hours of sleep last night so once again gonna be passing on stream tonight but will be joining @spacelion.art to help them through ARR <3

Repost if your account is a safe place for the trans community 💙💗🤍💗💙

For anyone that is thinking of playing fortnite remember -Uses generative AI -Collabed with Harry Potter (the residuals of which JKR uses to fund anti trans lobbying) -Is published by a company whose CEO defended Gen AI X I absolutely take note who still plays after knowing this

did you know that testosterone is $60-$120 per month? did you know that it's a controlled substance so you have to jump through even more hoops to get it? you can't DIY transitioning like with estrogen. it is harder to get testosterone when care is limited did you know that?

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

Stayed up to try and get a twitch drop. Something messed up with the time and it didnt let me claim it before it ran out >.<
