This is Avi Arad btw, one of the producers for the Zelda movie

Tomorrow's Lesson 🎒 ✨️#sefikura / 208K words 📚 Chap. 49/50 : Mirrored Truths archiveofourown.org/works/581584... One chapter left before the finale ! 🌠

Made two calls today!The longer one was the usual spiel,asking Visa to explain the double standard of why they demanded queer games be pulled from itch,while they continue to process transactions for CSAM and child suicide tool OPENAI,or media like Game of Thrones that features “objectionable” ideas

and indie artists and sex workers are getting crucified for existing

This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

🚨 Yet again Ted Cruz and Steve Scalise are trying to sneak in a moratorium on state GenAi legislation. If passed states can no longer enact laws for transparency, child safety, privacy, environmental protection etc. We got 3 days to stop this. Call now! www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

Started the Smug Cat Aerith version, she is very smug even in front of an angry Sephiroth to his annoyance. #Aerith #AerithGainsborough #FFVII #FinalFantasyVII #FF7 #Fanart

I have a vision. Smug cat Sephiroth wip, poor Cloud’s fed up with the lil menace. #Sephiroth #FF7 #FFVII #fanart #FinalFantasyvii

Attention friends! As a Cyber Sec Specialist, I feel a need to share this. If you receive an email from Ao3, alerting you to a password reset attempt, DO NOT click on the links! This is a scam to get you to provide your current password. Absolutely terrible. Safe cyber smart! #ao3 #scamalert

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too. We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

Another one bites the dust. Chapter 5 of my #sefikura fic Reunion is now up. Written for those who enjoy some impromptu baby acquisition and cute fluff amongst some plot that slowly thickens over time. archiveofourown.org/works/629019...

They're de-banking people for kink content online now They'll come for you and your interests next - there's already been movement against vtubers in general, and games like Corpse Party are having their western releases canned over concerns about this stuff Get loud before it's too late

Banks are targeting individuals by name because of their "high risk" line of work who are too outspoken. This is why we need you to stand up for nsfw creators

Call campaigns work! But we need as many people joining as possible Join today and yell at paypros to stop discriminating against adult content and sex workers! stop-paypros.neocities.org

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

I have a vision. Smug cat Sephiroth wip, poor Cloud’s fed up with the lil menace. #Sephiroth #FF7 #FFVII #fanart #FinalFantasyvii

so many people are lending a hand to fascists when they police each other on "acceptable" nsfw content and get too scared to stand up for sw'ers and artists when the worst thay could happen to them is get called problematic by other puritans

I love this.

Saw some fussing about the translation on Act II Headlong Into the Sands' #Haikaveh scene and yall know I love picking at Hoyo's shit EN localization so here we go yall.

“0% woke shit” a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

Artist propaganda I’m not falling for (and you shouldn’t either):

If you ever question if your fanfic is too self indulgent please remember that’s actually the point of fanfiction

Square Enix wants 70% of its QA work to be handled by generative AI by the end of 2027, in partnership with the University of Tokyo's Matsuo-Iwasawa Laboratory. https://bit.ly/4qKdyQR

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I'm glad to see more normies and normie adjacent figures fucking finally talking about the subject, specially by bringing actual sex workers to talk about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjWU...

Everyone just should. If you have a morale line in the sand about buying Harry Potter, that also means boycotting games you play that collab and give JKR money. This just straight up means Fortnite is paying into her genocide campaign.

Tomorrow's Lesson 🎒 ✨️#sefikura / 199k words 📚 Chap. 47/50 : Reunion archiveofourown.org/works/581584...

Artists behind some of the most popular films of all time are also forging one of the most powerful organized resistances to AI. With solidarity, class action lawsuits and strong legislation, they're fighting to protect their livelihoods, and pop culture, from big tech. My latest:

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

A source familiar w/ internal workings at MasterCard notes the company does not plan to recruit additional call center workers for the Christmas season, as MasterCard does not expect higher call volume than usual. A resurgence of calls re censorship during the busy season would be huge strategically

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Chapter 3 part 2 is finally up for Reunion, woohoo! I can’t believe chapter 3 was so long even when split into two parts ;-_-) The Sefikura slow burn kid fic continues… Mind the warnings for this one. It’s angsty, dark, and gory. So it’s like 50% of FF7 fics. archiveofourown.org/works/629019...

Hamaguchi says the emerging trend of AI in game development is currently "not something that I could really go ahead with" on a personal level. As much as AI "might try and intrude and take part in the creative side of things," he thinks his team can "do better than AI" anyway. (GamesRadar, 10/24)

a warning for anyone considering buying this one: a dark-skinned character is introduced later in the novel who is the butt of constant colorist jokes including the MC GIFTING HIM SKIN WHITENING CREAM. the original fantl also had a lot of slurs which may or may not be in the official.

This would be way more funny if this wasn't so devastating on the devs who are having to suffer the excruciating psychic damage of dealing this garbage day in and out, not to mention the people who were already laid off for it.

"Everyone is doing AI" doesn't matter when there's no consumer demand for it. Slop is slop. Meanwhile quality artists pull the numbers ✌️

The Gamer was pretty much the *only* outlet willing to stick their neck out for us adult game makers. Their coverage was invaluable in getting the word out about payment processor censorship 😥

my friends and i constantly quoting this post to each other whenever we feel bad about productivity

Just so we're clear, they're proposing a tax on speech. www.goerie.com/story/news/p...

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings
