"So, if I use ChatGPT you think less of me?" Yep. Hope this helps.

holy shit????? ICE is getting rid of seven of the 11 would-be concentration camp warehouses they purchased and sec. mullin indicates new mass detention centers are not priority. huge!

if you ever see one of these dudes on the subway or whatever you gotta go like "ARE YOU RECORDING US?? WHY ARE YOU RECORDING US? IS IT FOR THE NEWS? I DIDN'T FILL OUT A CONSENT RELEASE" and they'll say no and then you can pull out "OH SO IT'S FOR YOU PERSONALLY HUH" and watch everybody get worried

"My lobster too buttery, my steak too juicy" ahh post

People keep comparing this stuff to being carded but the guy that glances at your ID before you walk into the club doesn't keep a permanent record of your card, time of entry, and everything you do and say while inside, that is then passed over to the government and a billion data brokers

Literally every NSFW artist or indie gamedev must know about this

No lies detected.

HEY LISTEN 🦋 not only have we made a cool new 🚐TRAILER 🚐 but 𝕰𝖓𝖙𝖗𝖔𝖕𝖞 has a 💾DEMO 💾OUT NOW store.steampowered.com/app/3940340/...

Devastated to hear that Daveigh Chase (known for Samara, Lilo, and Chihiro) just passed away. Major condolences to her family and close ones. May she rest in peace.

Still a little rough but working towards desired results~ #Pokemon #sylveon #twink #furry #furry_art #art

Incidentally, use invoicing, period. It gives you control over the transaction and prevents commissioners from "helpfully" doing something that will expose the both of you.

Have you canceled your adobe subscription yet?

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

Clearly anyone asking this has never had a conversation with an officer while Black

if you thought the Fortnite/Overwatch pretty-girl face shit was a problem now, lordy is the AAA slop industry gonna knock your socks off when it filters sketches through the machine purposely built to spit that garbage out

I will never forget having to argue like 2 on 20 against social media bans for under 16 year olds in a SOCIOLOGY OF MEDIA class. Isolating minors from outside groups instead of teaching them how to handle the internet is lazy, damaging, and anti-LGBTQ+ through and through, but people don't see it!!!

Literally there are conversion therapy manuals that start with isolating your child from all potential sources of safeguarding and supportive information and cutting them off from unmonitored internet access so they can find the number for ChildLine while you're not watching is right up there.

A lot of the “kids online safety” proponents actually are anti-LGBTQ extremists and fundamentalists who want kids to have less freedom and don’t care if that actually makes them tremendously less safe too

Even the psychotic racist square-dancing anti-Semite who spearheaded the destruction of our rail system knew he had to pay his own workers enough to buy one of his fucking cars

People still act like the console wars are a thing, and it baffles me. Like, Xbox was always WAY behind Playstation in game quality, and now Xbox has become the murderer of a bajillion great studios. I mean, PC was always the winner, but still, Xbox fans need to look at this and stop coping

It’s hard not to come to the conclusion that Esther Ghey thinks the internet ‘transed’ her daughter and also thinks that was a bad thing.

fnaf fans on twitter would sooner forgive scott cawthon for donating to the most evil political party in the world than another indie creator for being problematique medias

Actually, biologically I’m both a woman and a man so if you wanna be mad I “should” be using ALL pronouns instead of she/they ✌️ Anyway thanks for the birthday wishes homie. The switch up on tones in the messages made me lose my shit LMAO Happy pride to my fellow intersex, nonbinary, and pan folks

If you can be alienated from a good cause because people are upset you "used the wrong words," that means that you are NOT standing with a good cause because it is the right thing to do. Even IF this was egregious (and it wasn't, deadnaming is wrong dude), your support shouldn't EVER fucking waver!

if your first reaction to being corrected is "i'm such a good ally this is why you trannies are alienating us" i don't think you actually stand with trans people. if you're so afraid people won't know who she is, link her goddamn wikipedia page

So... one evil political party wants to allow AI to destroy the world and the other evil political party wants to put shackles on the internet and end internet freedom. And they are trading favors to get BOTH of these shitty ideas passed. Remind me again why voting Blue is a good idea?

Bloodstained was a solid 8/10. I'd call it a 7/10, but playing as Bloodless was so fun I HAVE to bump it up! It provides too few hints for progression and is kinda janky as hell (plus u can't used arrow keys for Classic Mode), but over all it was great! Bloodstained 2 looks even better, can't wait!

The idea wouldn't leave me alone, it had to be made. #phisart #digitalart #art #animation

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I spent YEARS wondering why Sun Tzu’s The Art of War is basically just a checklist of basic logistics… And then I realized, oh, it’s because the book wasn’t for me. The book was written for failson lords that have to be told that you need to feed your troops.

Please call your reps, this thing is so evil

What you have to understand about Moneynumbers people, is that they live in a world that simply cannot encounter reality. They cannot do it. They cannot admit there's no money left, you can't SAY that, because if you have a SAD THOUGHT for even a moment, then the moneyfairies stop coming to you!!!!

No, the assumption that disabled people require our colleagues’ stolen words and illustrations chopped up and spewed out in order to participate in art is ableist. We have BEEN creating art. Many of the works you love? Made by someone marginalized out of traditional jobs.

MOTHERFUCKER

that is not accessibility. it means you have the reading level of a fucking 6th grader and you should improve that, Mstar. I am adult who writes for other adults, fuck off.

Oh so NSFW sellers are far too risky but let's just plug into a machine that's been known to be easily hacked, daydreams and frankly probably orders out of control, etc. I can shop for myself, don't need some stupid server doing it.

this is a good thread, and a reminder that A.I. detectors are also A.I. and can hallucinate just as badly

It's not just daytime solar anymore. Solar around the clock (stored in batteries for later dispatch) is now on par with gas power on a per unit basis. Chris Wright can't even blame variability or grandstand about the wind dying or sun setting anymore. Solar is cheapest almost any way you measure it.

Democratic politicians promise you an easy way forward History tells us that breaking from the status quo is anything but Your blue vote is a balm for yourself Standing with your neighbours against the machine is a panacea for us all Bandaids can only do so much Be an antibody against fascism

Instead of spending $480 for a Nintendo paperweight and another $49.99 on a game you can emulate for free, you should instead give $480 to the people that make good Star Fox fan content. Or give $480 to an artist and have them draw some good Star Fox art. It will be more fulfilling, I promise.

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

Please Use AI

Happy Pride Month everyone! These are tough times but always remember, you are strong and you are loved!

"We already live in a world where you walk outside and there are billboards and signs that are obvious AI slop. That’s become part of our visual reality. To me, generative AI feels less like innovation than a symptom of a broader cultural and economic rot." King. 🙏

Remember last week when director Adam Shankman made a whole big statement about how Stop! That! Train! isn't full of AI? Well, in a interview with us here at Xtra conducted a few weeks before ... he said there actually are multiple instances of AI in the film 👀 xtramagazine.com/culture/stop...
