Happy Holidays from the BaF community 💜

Update on this, the funds so far have been a major help. Helping cover bills and groceries while unable to drive my car. I was able to get the work on it financed so I can get back to dashing soon while job hunting, but in all honesty, I still need what help I can get to try and recoop everything.

Thanks to very gracious community members we've smashed through to 61%, a huge gain that's unlocked a Nocturne HDR rerun at some point in either '26 or '27. I've also extended the ask into January, till the end of Jan '26. I deeply appreciate everyone's help thus far. Thank you. #MutualAid

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

This will be my last stream until the new year, as I'll be taking a break after this, so let's make this special!

Not to mention that you WILL forget to replace it if it looks too much like "real" art, so just put a big blue thing that makes it obvious that art belongs there to make sure you don't pull a Sandfall

twitch.tv/sjhdoesgames we continue to metroid dread; now that we've gotten the varia suit it's time for us to get a nice warmup from the lava (god i wish i could irl it's cold as hell over here) 43% raised for my rent #MutualAid thus far, please kick in if you can ko-fi.com/sjhdoesgames...

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

Your regularly scheduled reminder is that Slay The Princess was Black Tabby's short-form side-project. A showcase in how much reactivity they can cram into a single sitting. Scarlet Hollow is their BIG visual novel and plays the long game on all of your decisions. They WILL matter.

The prophet said… At the end of the day… The day gone end

many are saying the child is haunted. this is unfair. you can't say he's haunted just because i've started seeing him no matter what window i look out of, every time just a little bit closer

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

England is more than Potter. Potter isn't even a line in its documented history or cultural legacy. And it's so insulting to so many other British creators to allow it to suffocate the market.

I’m sorry am I supposed to like the idea of the party I voted against joining the party I only voted in to avoid them? And inching closer to an unchecked majority government for the guy who’s just tabled a border bill that feels more American than Canadian? Because I don’t like that at all.

The agreement between the Walt Disney Company and OpenAl for Disney to license its content to Sora, a short-form generative Al video platform, raises several major concerns that not only affect animation workers but consumers and families around the world. Please read.

I want to re-emphasize, the guy who has made HUNDREDS of videos calling people in the industry slurs, calling for them to be fired, calling all the studios that are showing games "woke and gay" and has harassed multiple journalists covering the show over the years is at the Game Awards.

Genuine question - if you are a disabled player with epilepsy or photo sensitivity, are these trailers negatively impacting you?

Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with. 1. Carimara Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

We’re deeply honored that HADES II is in the running for Game of the Year and more at #TheGameAwards tonight, especially since we’re in the company of such an amazing group of wildly different and beautiful games. Congratulations to all our fellow nominees — we salute you!! 🙏👏

"Our biggest need right now is more adopters to help fulfill all the wishes we continue to receive. For those able and willing, adopting a family letter is the best way to share the magic of the holidays with an entire household all at once." Dec. 13 is the last day to adopt letters and ship gifts.

My favorite time of the year is when my students submit their reflective comic. This is an assignment that asks each student to create a two page comic that explains (explicitly or implicitly) what they learned about reading by taking this course. The results are always fantastic. A thread...

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

The Sipeknekatik First Nation in Nova Scotia has partnered with Bioburn Pros. Inc. to prep for next year’s fire season with technology aligned with Mi’kmaw values. The technology will burn wood debris at such a high degree that it won’t produce smoke.

Momma always said she didn't raise no fool. Sometimes mommas are wrong though.

One of the biggest impacts I’ve seen from the unproven idea that people are wrongfully using disability accommodations is that people stop trusting people with disabilities and in fact further restrict, remove, and demonize accommodations for people with disabilities in general

For people who don't know the score: I need you to understand that Kadokawa is literally one of the biggest multimedia conglomerates in Japan. Not just for anime either, they have their fingers in several pies—video games, books, etc. Amazon's FAFO quotient is really high here. (1/2)

Someone please hire Kelpana, she's a genius, but is struggling to find work at the moment
