my primary impression of fallout 76 was watching an official teaser on the alien update, hearing this weapon's sound effect, and having to rewind to make sure I didn't hallucinate it

No child should have to worry about being shot at school or gunned down at a birthday party. It doesn’t matter if they’re in a red or blue state. It doesn’t matter who their parents are. If the volume of mass shootings doesn’t enrage you, you’ve lost your way.

STREET FIGHTER SIX

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

There needs to be a scientific study on why so many people support the CHEETO sitting in OFFICE right now

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

Glad to see my tiktok FYP is finally giving me new stuff I deeply care about

No one is cancelled by accident. This isn't the 1950s- we're not cancelling people for being gay, using drugs, or for martial infidelity. If you have been cancelled in the 21st century, it is for hate speech and sex crimes. Full stop. Why would ANYONE think "Yeah, but what if we brought them back?"

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

All my homies HATE The Salvation Army

sorry i can't go to that thing tonight. yeah im gonna be busy taking poison damage and cycling through the same three grunting sound effects. yeah.

Saw that one Smiling Friends post-credit scene a few days ago (you probably know the one) I get the joke they were likely *trying* to make about toxic weeb culture, but like… DAMN they could’ve run that character design through a bit more testing.

Its my birthday today! More importantly I finally got the new pins I teased up on my shop, my birthday gift to you all!! rjpalmerstore.com/collections/...

Not a single major news outlet has covered this story. There is such a blatant, obvious attempt to suppress any and all news that deals with the actual facts about transgender life and experience. As the government rolls back our rights on an unprecedented scale, we have been left out to dry.

have you guys SEEEN this??? 😮

It's really easy to fall into 'There's nothing good anymore' doomerism right now. That's just your depression talking. Take out the gremlin running your brain and beat it with sticks. There is an OVERWHELMING amount of cool stuff being made in every medium right now. Algorithms just won't help you.

Reintroduction post! 🍤🐟 hiii my name is Pearl I’m a gender-fluid mixed-media artist who also works for @snoozykazoo.com! My gf is @yukonmakes.games (on the left in the first pic) and we work on #rizzdungeon together with the snoozy team as well :) I love #gamedev and know a lot about fish/creatures

happy halloween

I cannot stop laughing. This is so indicative of what's wrong with these AI people and how they view art He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

We have created a device that shall be integral to your life, to the point where it will be hard to function in society without one; we would prefer these devices to break annually and for you to purchase a new one at full price. If you don't, that's called hoarding. They're a thousand dollars each.

Idk how many times people are gonna have to say "stop using ai it is literally killing us" before people listen. No not even as a joke. don't go near this shit.

First phone to bring back switchable SD cards and the headphone jack will make ten kabillion dollars but none of you are brave enough

as a ROBLOX player since 2010 i fully agree. and it makes me sad! i don't WANT it to be like this, but as it is, it is inherently dangerous for children to exist on ROBLOX period. every single safety feature recently added since schlep is poor and easily circumvented, too.

Fellas i got a $0 dollar idea for some sicko fighting game book club every month the community plays a poverty fighter and shares tech for a month straight and revitalize the netplay

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai. so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.

working on a second bunny video does anyone have any suggestions for what namco game i should do next

I made a pixel art upscaling/rotation algorithm called cleanEdge! It makes rotating pixel art as clean as possible torcado.com/cleanEdge I made a tool for it too! drop your sprites in and get some nice rotated or upscaled versions :)

In NASB2, Nigel Thornberry’s Side Special has a follow-up uppercut attack if you press Special after hitting the opponent. Hardly anyone uses it cuz it’s bad, and I think it’s been made significantly harder to input over time? Showed it to Cherry at Combo Breaker and he was bewildered lmao.

Twitter had to turn off its location feature within hours because thousands of prominent and "verified" MAGA accounts turned out to be foreign and I think it's hilarious that Elon was the one who exposed them all

namco museum

Ik it’s probably too early to start saying New Year’s Resolutions, but just gonna say ‘em out loud now: - Get back into streaming - Make more standalone art - Maaaaaaybe make some physical merch-y stuff, idk >w>

true story btw

Hey. Kindly reminder. Content creators are not your friends just because you like their work. You do not know who we are. This goes double for anyone under 18; be very careful about interacting with adults. If any adult makes you feel uncomfortable, DO NOT ENGAGE THEM. RUN.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

@sbworkersunited.org have launched the biggest open-ended strike in Starbucks history, fighting for fair wages and against unfair labor practices. We all need to stand in solidarity with striking workers. DON'T BUY STARBUCKS FOR THE DURATION OF THE STRIKE. #NoContractNoCoffee

Gonna be calling this one The Blue Scare in a few decades from now

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art. Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

the Harvard Crimson called Epstein a “child sex offender” while the Chronicle of Higher Ed called him a “disgraced financier” and that pretty much sums up where we are with higher ed journalism

Don't fucking play Inzoi guys ffs If you hate EA so much you wanna stick it to 'em then just pirate Sims 4

interrupting your doomscrolling to give you this drawing of rick enjoying a piece of cheese.
