This isn’t just Apple’s responsibility basically any country on earth could put pressure on them. They have a pedophile robot. Every nation on earth is complicit at this point. Nobody wants to do anything.

If you're saying "Fuck JK Rowling" and "stop keeping Harry Potter culturally relevant through fandom or funding" then you should drop FNAF too. Scott Cawthon is a Christian Conservative who uses his wealth to donate to republicans, including Trump and Mitch McConnell. www.axios.com/2021/06/15/f...

Amy Klobuchar voted for one of Trump's nominees the day after a woman in her state was murdered by ICE.

side discussion but anyone saying the real issue with ICE is a lack of proper training is subtly arguing for increased funding and should probably be ignored going forward regarding all substantive matters

And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.

ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims. Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

I’ve posted this before, but here’s a reminder to students and juniors that the game industry has never been this bad in terms of opportunities. The amount of studio closures and layoffs is unprecedented. Not even the crash in the 80s was this bad. I see a lot of talented folks beating themselves up

We love you 💖 Lana and Adam send you all their hugs They told me to take a photo for them especially for our friends here 💖💖💖 Please any support is really appreciated to feed those little bodies 🙏🫂 www.paypal.com/pools/c/9kLz...

Fair to wonder why we don't comment a lot on the development of Goodbye Volcano High, the challenges of developing it and the compromises that had to be made for it to exist at all, but uh, look at the temperature of any conversation about it online and think about that a second longer.

yea i actively avoid content unless i'm writing a design document or talking about posts online in a specific context

we have a very professional slack here at ko_op

anyway im posting because I don't wanna scrub my toilet but I think I have hit my posting quota for the week. bye

you can't really say that wholesomeness as a genre of games/media is fascist _or_ anti fascist because it 1. isn't a genre and 2. really depends on how much of your art intake it is

well, while I'm posting

i am a known hater and i don't think people have to like every piece of art that exists but i do resent the irony poisoned minds that feel the need to tear down overly sincere work that didn't resonate with them

really i’m just happy to be drawing again. was very burnt out from it for a long time

ok no context WIP

I am so easily victim to early project dopamine rush where I tell everyone about my ideas and show my vis dev and then never finished the project so I am so hesitant to do this but what if I posted context-less art for the VN I'm working on

"joy is an act of resistance" is not praxis and while im a firm believer that art is good for the soul even during hard times, you have got to be fucking real for a second and realize that drawing pictures is not gonna help someone who is being bombed by the US government

fwiw, I think the best way to think of this is not really as "trump is the worst ever" so much as "trump takes all the worst aspects of american history and speed runs them all at once"

the thing about signing up for the US military is that even if it's "just to pay for college" etc you are saying your education is worth more than the lives of faceless foreigners

40 people (at least) died. It's the official policy of these newsrooms that Latin American lives aren't worth anything. Again, if you still pay for an NYT subscription I think you're trash.

I don’t love you and I’m not holding your hand: call your Senator and tell them that the must shut down the government on January 30th until this ends, a thing that Democrats have the hard power to do at this very moment.

america is a deeply evil country no matter who is at the helm. the only difference between the current presidents and previous ones is that this one does not bother disguising his intentions with civility

So many people over decades have been called conspiracy theorists for suggesting that U.S. intervention is driven by capitalist interests, and the interests of the oil industry in particular. Now the president just says it outright in press conferences and interviews.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

and a happy new yuri!

never say i don't follow up. i follow up like 25% of the time at least jannouna.dev/nouns-i-verb...

maybe I'll write a blog post about nouns i verbed this year

I'm opening up commissions to cover a really big emergency vet bill for my cat Ness. I'm doing single characters on simple bgs for $85 USD. Extra characters or bg props will be $45 extra.

anyway what phones do we like these days? prob need to retire the ol oneplus 7 soon, it's cracked and the battery life isn't great. recs appreciated

Mass Effect style dialogue wheel except the only dialogue options ever offered are "No, yeah, for sure." and "Damn, that's crazy"

happy holidays everyone! Ediction is getting a post-jam update! - new & revamped visuals (CGs, BGs, sprites, UI) - added weight to certain choices - typo & awkward language fixes - new settings options for less text pausing and even better, it's coming very soon™️ #fvn #furry #visualnovel

I don't think free speech on campus ought to mean that a young coddled bigot gets to use their ignorance to casually destroy the career of a knowledgeable trans person on a random Wednesday

This is what it is to be a trans professional. Any pretext will be used to eliminate us. Our institutions abandon us, refuse to fight for us - even when all we're guilty of is doing our jobs correctly. How are we meant to live in society? How are we supposed to win?

my 2026 resolution is to actually make and publish visual novels. every year i think "maybe i'll do a little game jam one" and then i chicken out. no more!!!!!!

design docs need to be a clear explanation of intent and a source of truth devs can refer back to. asking the plagiarism machine to write them for you at any point in the process is a guaranteed way to confuse everyone involved

NEW: They kept saying they were gonna do it and now they've done it A group of clowns (Senators) have introduced a bill to FULLY REPEAL Section 230. No reform, no replacement, just utter destruction of all online free speech. We can't let this happen. Share & take action www.badinternetbills.com

call your senators and say:

the trans panic, legislation of transmisogyny, etc. is not "distracting from the epstein files", it entrenches the sexual abuse. transphobia towards trans kids always entails sexual abuse, by families & states. one of epstein's first victims was a trans girl, ava cordero, who was not believed
