Gosh, whoops, dropped this link by accident! For absolutely no reason! Just a little visual novel (and accompanying complete longfic) centered on a dual protagonist sequel to Life is Strange starting Max and Chloe gosh so clumsy of me to drop it 😅 #PriceField destiny-smasher.itch.io/life-is-stra...

"I avoid politics." No bestie, you avoid uncomfortable conversations about politics. From the moment you were born til the day you die, you've been thoroughly and utterly enmeshed in the policies, systems, and governance of a society that shapes your experience. You just try not to think about it.

LRP the people worth calling out are the rich, powerful, influential. Calling out random folks just trying to live their lives and fucking up somewhat is pointless, and it’s consistently younger, immature folks who pursue that nonsense. There’s a time and a place for it, but yeah.

This shit right here? Why I've glanced over callout posts and ignore alot of them.

I think with the level of venom with which AI proponents have treated artists, writers, musicians, whole creative industries, they deserve at the very least to have that venom met in kind, and I hope it stings. I'm only sorry it hasn't happened sooner. Party's over, enjoy the hangover.

exec after years of bad decisions: the industry has shifted,

The bubble won’t pop in one big sudden burst, but a series of events.

You know, once a jury has made its decision you are extremely justified in dropping the "allegedly"

Oh, huh, Pokemon Champions dropping April 8th, sooner than I expected, I’ll have to actually get some stuff organized onto my Pokemon Home account lol

Happy to say that I am finally done with my #RE9 piece ! Just a few days shy of the 30th Anniversary😅 Hope you all have been enjoying my posts an WIP images🎨 #fanart Music by @f1ng3rs.bsky.social @capcomusa.com @residentevil.capcomusa.com #バイオハザード #ResidentEvilRequiem #ResidentEvil #REBH30th

As much love and appreciation I have for the 90s, Sonic's aesthetic in the early 2000s is just...Sonic, you know what I mean? I miss this era's art style—its energy and its pizazz.

The best LEGO Samus I've seen to date 👇 #LEGO #Metroid

Them, regular gamers: Tetris has no story, let alone lore. 🥴 Me, a Tetriser who has seen it all and more: When you beat marathon mode in Tetris New Century on the PS2 Sega Ages collection, the Sega Tetris monkey, who for 15 years antagonized players, gets on its feet and congratulates you in keigo.

AI’s driving up prices in a world that’s already increasingly unaffordable and destroying an environment that’s already being torn apart by these selfsame ghouls. Most inanely of all, there’s no fucking demand for it except from the alleged suppliers of the “supply and demand” dynamic.

The Profess Raifort-centric fic 'Parts of History' I wrote in return for this beautiful drawing is now finished! archiveofourown.org/works/700034...

I fear we’re gonna get a lot of mileage out of this Barret meme.

I was in this same kinda situation but I had moved here just early enough to not have to deal with this. It’s these weird policy changes which were why we applied for citizenship a few months ago (and I just became a citizen last week!). Very disheartening to see Labour going through w/this stuff.

SEKIRO発売日・アニメ化おめでとう‼︎

Yup, still happy with this one.

I just want all artists to succeed and make cool shit. I want a world where all artists could just make so much art that every story can find its audience and every audience can find its story. I just want to live in a world where we can all bask in the joy of getting to make and participate in art.

anyway Shutterstock is a murky swamp of unlabelled gen AI, please don’t use it for journalism without extreme care www.shutterstock.com/image-illust...

not to be dramatic because ‘it’s just a little thumbnail’, but this is the future we live in, the actual material reality of creative works and documentation of history being eroded and replaced by AI - all because some tech bros didn’t design their technology with any forethought or care

AI thumbnails... come on BBC News…. do better

Some lovely art from my beloved friend @maxkayart.bsky.social, they drew this for me as a gift, made for my Nemona x Penny fanfic ‘Operation Comet Punch.’ The two are on their first out-of-region date in Johto. ⛩️ #NemoPen #StarfruitShipping #pokemon #nemona #penny #yuri #ネモ #ボタン #ポケモン

Very pleased folks have enjoyed this one.

Even as a very casual online player, the game just doesn’t feel as good as S1. I agree with Max, here. Defense is way too damn much and the game asks way too damn much to function defensively because you get hit once? Enjoy losing 40% of your life as you sit and watch lol youtube.com/watch?v=kRux...

The big aspect of depth this game has which most fail to recognize… the Melon Hunt! THAT is the game’s true depth and difficulty- an all-Melon run on every stage. youtube.com/watch?v=FhK2...

Happy sixth anniversary to Animal Crossing New Horizons! I have so many wonderful memories with this game, it's difficult to put into words how much it means to me. It's the game that finally got my mom to share my favorite pastime with me. I'll love ACNH forever.

Working on this game 🤓

I’ve had multiple people timidly (or maybe less timidly) be like “Your LiS fic made me uncomfortable!” or more recently “This Scarlet Koito person (in your fic) makes me MAD and UPSET and uncomfortable and I don’t like them!” And it’s like

I know some folks who are very quick to consistently identify and express things in art that make them uncomfortable, often in media I myself am enjoying (a common one is gorey violence in video games). Instead of taking it personally I simply encourage their self-awareness. It’s that easy.

This goes back to my favorite Hobby Horse: in Tolkien, the fear of death is the root cause of most humans’ turns to evil. Númenor fell when even the extra long lives given to them wasn’t enough. The ringwriaths were kings who chose Not Dying over actually Living.

I dunno, man, maybe we shouldn’t mix art and speculative investments?

I've not experienced much art that has forced itself under my skin in the way that 1000xRESIST did. It gave me a lot to think about and to do, the first of which being writing this piece. Thank you startmenu for the space for this, and to @kellymerka.bsky.social for making it the best it can be.

Crockett: "What if someone from another country said 'We're gonna bomb America bc we have a warrant for the president's arrest bc of the child sex trafficking in the Epstein files.' Every single one of you sticking up for him right now would be screaming. The analysis has to be the same."

Big day today. Breaking out a special tie my wife got me for this occasion. (Only tie I have owned in like 6 years and will be my first time wearing one in even longer)

okay are you telling me the nvidis dlss5 faceapp slop guys put out video demonstrating and advertising this... on popular games that they did not get permission to use the footage of?????? They used their shit to modify, with AI, the property of studios without telling them? and then lied they did?

I feel bad for Tekken fans. They want to talk about the problems with Season 3 but ain't nobody going to listen to them right now with the Alex shaped nuclear bomb in the room. "Oh is Law's new move too good? I see. Did Jin hook up with Asuka? No? Because that would be crazy? Yeah, yeah it would!"
