People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

IT'S HIM AGAIN—

Anti-porn, anti-sex worker, and anti-sex censorship directly corresponds to a tilt downward into a more ideologically conservative and oppressive society. Regardless of your personal comfort with nsfw content on the internet, it's absolutely critical to support it right now.

happy pride month by the way

The villain of the 6th final fantasy being the focus of the 7th ultimate raid?

Listen I don't want to see NSFW content on my feed and also I want people to be able to post, discuss, celebrate, and support NSFW content without their whole account being shadowbanned by puritanical tech bros trying to kick us back a century or two. These two positions are entirely compatible.

Repost to scare Bluesky developers

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

8. One last time

my fave anecdote about this is when bryan fuller wanted to show naked bodies from behind on hannibal, and s&p said he couldn't show butts. so he was like "what if i fill the buttcrack with blood" and they said sure

I'll say what Bluesky fails to address in v1.122 They've rolled out a new "adult content" tag applied on an entire account, hiding all their posts from users, including text posts, even if they may be SFW This update, while well-intentioned, defeats the whole purpose of the content filters system

The "does not include nudity" thing really says it all don't it.

Bsky is apparently gonna start flagging whole accounts as nsfw soon so if you don't already know about your moderation settings, highly suggest switching nsfw from Hide to Warn; otherwise many creators will completely vanish from your timeline when they roll this out.

In light of bluesky + a huge majority of other popular social media sites trying as hard as they can to destroy the livelihoods of people who make porn, I want to thank the non-creators who consistently stand up for us, support our work, share our posts, and treat us like they'd treat anyone else

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

XIV player named Strawberry Kittyy (pink haired miqo): "dawntrail ruined the game by giving too much screen time to woke lmao [calls you a slur in limsa shout chat]" XIV player named Bucket Joe (shirtless roegadyn with chocobo mask): "been getting really into eureka orthos recently"

Everyone is (rightly) clowning on the Book of Life guy for getting in bed with the AI crowd, but there's a danger that the dopamine hit of outrage overwhelms good news. Like, I've seen dozens of posts about Gutierrez and only one or two about this. We need to be as loud about the good as the bad.

Work on the crash corpse hosting site is going good! I just need to make a damn cover page because I forgot about that. Then I can start posting what I got

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Utterly deranged.

New way to view these Data Centers that are draining the communities they implant themselves in... draining resources for slop

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

people gotta stop treating shadowbringers like it's the only part of ffxiv with worthwhile themes man it's such a bummer to see

Yep. As someone who works in retail, the difference is HUGE between someone who will acknowledge when I greet them with even just a nod vs the customers who fully ignore and/or treat me as an NPC in their video game. Also please get off your fucking phone while I ring you up. I stg it's so rude.

We haven't had to fire any shots so it's not obvious but a blockade of this magnitude would generally be considered an act of war. We did not do this in the 1962 missile crisis, we allowed ships not carrying weapons to proceed to Cuba

the thing about "I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding" is that these games exist and are out there and you have to make the conscious choice to seek them out instead of just expecting the big companies to deliver this

Thinking of making a real hosting site for Crash Corpse. . .

shadowbringers is about the ways nostalgia can bend towards fascism and one's duty to leave a better world to one's children and the power of hope and community in the face of disaster and the horror of something growing inside your body without your consent and! ☝️ choosing this guy's dead wife

Remember we have their ear right now. They're already requesting public comments on debankment practices. Go file.

Since people are making this dumbass argument re: the Xenos ban

thanks for the advice kamen rider

This needs to be said. Again.

Its so funny, people try to spread this narrative that SE wants to shut down any criticism of the game and when you actually look at what happened, its not criticism of the game at all and is just misogyny, transphobia, and harassing the developers

Just saw a post from a Mississippi Gulf Coast high school deadnaming their trans salutatorian. The replies are filled with hundreds of students, locals and fellow Mississippians correcting/admonishing the school and calling him by his correct name. And this is in a very conservative county.

I think one of the ways transphobia dies is actually knowing someone who is trans.

Also remember last summer when mastercard said 8,000 people called in one weekend? And we all called visa and stripe and paypal too? As far as I know you can still say you're from California and you can get through to a person at Stripe so let's all do that again

IT looks like this is resurfacing again under a new face. If someone invites you to watch something using the "Lovoo client", block them immediately. The lovoo client is also another trojan that will hack and fuck your computer for good, stealing your discord and other accounts.

I love reading direct evidence of the President's blatant crimes and thinking "no one is going to do anything about that, including even mentioning it" and then going back to my emails. Been doing it for a decade

If you are canadian, you need to contact your MP and demand Bill C-22 be opposed as it would give the government a backdoor into every chat app

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

In light of recent events #FFXIV #FF14

i was asked to repost this one too #ffxiv
