remember when post malone hosted an apex legends tournament to raise funds for trevor project and there wasn't a single queer/trans person invited lmao

This is not the most effective way to moderate a steam forum. This just gives trolls what they want, attention and reaction from you. Post clear pinned rules on what gets a ban. Delete trash, Ban easy, place nothing in the 'why you were banned' message. Trolls get nothing.

Here's this week's schedule! We'll be starting our other October game with RE: Revelations, as well as doing a preview of a yuri horror VN on Monday! Hope to see you there! Twitch: www.twitch.tv/srokavtube Other links: srokavtube.carrd.co

Really hammer your reps about how catastrophic this is and how bad these laws are for peoples online safety

Entry for Veludrûn's Night of Sparks event over on dA! Visharar watched the meteor showers streaking sparkling tails of reds, golds and silvers across the night sky in awe. And when fragments fell in the fields nearby, he decided to collect some of them to remember this beautiful moment by. #art

make sure you're hammering this particular nail when you contact your reps about AV laws

I’ve learnt that only hyperfocus can keep me from disappointing others. Sometimes.

As well as this, I feel quite strongly that the increased prominence in recent years of social media influencers who engage in nothing but ragebait content and harassment has proverbially sucked all the air out of the room, content mills producing bullshit at speed who dominate gaming conversations.

One would think being behind NDAs was cool, but in the two decades of doing so, the most common experience I've had has been akin to looking up at a giant Asteroid plummeting to the ground, wondering why no one is doing anything about it, then remembering no one is allowed to know.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?” 1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth 2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment 3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015

We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks

Im just a shark #art #sharks

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

Folks who draw trans art, I'm begging you to post it over on the trans sub reddits who accept art bc there are so many people on reddit who think you guys don't exist and aren't posting stuff and it's too much!! PEOPLE WANT YOU SO BAD... www.reddit.com/r/TransHentai/ (start here!!!)

It's wild to me that people use AI for gposing....like...why? Everyone can see it lacks so much soul and effort. You're not fooling anyone with it. Stop being lazy and learn the tools ffs.

Instead of generating a shitty AI background for your GPOSE, consider instead: -location scouting for your gpose: gets you familiar with the game's available options, plus it's fun to explore areas or dungeons you might not spend much time in -taking an isolated screenshot (reshade has a-

Instead of being forced to talk about Big Tech's fake inventions we should celebrate the truly life changing feats of genius that we don't think about. The incredible "head phones." The humble toilet

I legit think all the time about how a polypropylene cone shaking really fast somehow can reproduce the sound of like a bunch of people talking and an orchestra playing all at the same time from 1 source like that's so fucking cool dude what the fuck that sounds impossible and made up but it's real.

Every smartphone in the world contains a CPU descended from one designed by a trans woman in the 1980s. The Matrix is one of the most influential movie franchises of all time. Electronic music was pioneered and popularized by a trans woman. I could go on

Canva also has a history of going "wow look how free/cheap our product is" And then suddenly scaling up fees to an unreasonable extent So personally, I got all of these free but will be waiting to decide if I'll use them until the announcement on Oct 30 5/🧵

Full disclosure: Affinity is ramping up to something which they will reveal Oct 30 We don't know what it is, but it's safe to assume this has to do with it Of note affinity was purchased by Canva a while back, and Canva is VERY pro AI 4/🧵

5) Click "buy now" 6) Make sure you register the purchase with your affinity account! 7) Repeat these steps for all 3 apps! And now you have all 3 affinity programs for free! 3/🧵

2) Make an affinity account via one of the apps 3) Open an app and go to "account" 4) Click "buy now" 2/🧵

iPad artists, HUGE news!! Affinity designer, publisher, and photo can be purchased FOR FREE rn No subscription, just free Here's how 1) Download ALL THREE apps on the app store #DigitalArt #iPadArtist #Art #Affinity 1/🧵

That's the system that's going to determine if your imaginary pixels are doing it consensually or not by the way...

I don't like acknowledging this asshole at all, but I do believe these sort of rage bait content creators are detrimental to the medium of games, they take up so much of the space and dominate conversations with this behaviour. And they just move on to the next person they're going victimize.

#saveSpeech this is a really good sign, but it's not over until it's over. Germany has flipped before, and we cannot risk it flipping again. Germans, continue to voice your opposition to your MEPs/MPs. likewise, everyone else in the EU should be similarly vocal! we have 7 more days!

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

Bro stop. Bro stop. Bro just fucking stop.

tl;dr: Bluesky began with genuine promise: a new social media platform where users could feel safer, but inconsistent moderation quickly eroded trust. When systemically marginalized users pushed back, Bluesky’s leadership minimized concerns and began to target them for bans.

WOW....👀👀👀

kinda crazy how every single “just give people enough money to afford some basic stuff” experiments yield the exact same positive results that everyone benefits from every time, huh Anyway, back to toiling

This is nothing new. One of the main grifters during Gamergate was an author who rose to infamy for making her entire cause about saying boys were being feminized by removing bullying from schools.

I can't help but be really disappointed to see some people say that "you fans are safe with me" which is a valid sentiment, but also continue to accept paychecks from a company that keeps recasting their colleagues, while the fanbase treats those people like shit.

Bluesky's lack of a coms team does indeed give us some of these funny moments such as: "You're aware that you are ostensibly speaking for the company with the current role you have and the subject matter you're wading into, right? what?"
