It sounds harsh but actually the only way you're going to avoid having to wrestle with your connection to an artist when they turn out to be a shithead is just to treat creators as normal people rather than parts of your identity.

This is nothing short of censorship, intimidation, harassment, and it should be illegal, but tell me again about how much conservatives love free speech.

why the fuck would i want realistic graphics. i can see real things just by opening my fucking eyes. i want to see 1000 different interpretations of the world. show me what makes each thing a thing

The early dreams about the internet focused on connecting people with each other Now tech companies are using the internet to keep us isolated and divided, talking to phantoms and absorbing lies

[From Reddit via Mastodon] We need to work out how we are going to communicate post-internet.

the way many people receive information about video games is completely broken we're charting waters way past the edge of traditional clickbait

Seeing other countries celebrate new years HOURS before us. This is why we are losing as a nation.

I'm super late to this Discourse, but I'd rather see yellow paint and other level-design craftiness than have to write variants of NPC barks like, "We should find a way out of here" and "Think that door's the exit?" and in desperation "Let's try that door by the ramp. It looks like an exit."

The term "AI creator" is nonsensical. If you are a content creator you have to create. AI creates nothing. A mulch of existing stolen works is not creation. It's repulsive.

"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search" This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!! www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Don’t be one of the liberals on here saying things like “Vaccines don’t cause autism, but we must stop this epidemic—let’s look at processed foods and pesticides!” Way to perpetuate stigma and pseudoscience, my dudes. If you think autism needs to be “cured” you are part of the problem, full stop

Make a game developer happy by telling them how much you loved their game. A review, an email, a quick message on social networks... your choice, but I guarantee you'll touch their heart ♥️

“the hawk tuah girl has been milkshake ducked by her memecoin” i say as the neurologist schedules me for an emergency MRI

RFK Jr's lawyer wants the FDA to revoke approval for the polio vaccine, so it seems like a good time to remind people why that vaccine was so important, and how many lives it saved. See my thread below🧵 #vaccineswork #histmed

Googling Stuff: Then v Now.

BuzzFeed going all-in on AI. So gross. Expect more websites to do this. Why pay real people when content farms can just hook up an AI to push out trash and take up all the space in search engines when you're looking for legitimate stuff.

-shows up wearing ceasefire pin -talks about how the art and magic of games comes from the creatives and devs -denounces the games made for quotas and in boardrooms -takes a shot at TGA about giving proper airtime to creatives -doesnt name drop any celebs forget the awards, this guy wins hearts man

Feels weird to have an awards show right now for an industry that is seemingly collapsing where so many great projects are getting canned and massive lay offs happen every other month.

There are several really great cat-centered games that were made by talented human developers in recent years. On a completely different note, Steam published a note requiring developers using AI that "...you'll need to describe how you are using AI in the development and execution of your game..."

Ah nothing like reading the Chief AI Scientist at Meta and a“godfather” of GenAi advocate for the outright pillaging of all of our creative works. Thank you for letting us know our livelihoods and work mean nothing, as long as their dear for profit tech has fodder to train with. 👍

internet humor in 2014: No you don't understand, those are my emotional support 400 open tabs! internet humor in 2024: i am going to carpet bomb the ceo of kaiser permanente

The wealth class and their mouthpieces are already attempting to invert the narrative around the assassination of a ceo and it will only get worse as it becomes clear public consensus is with Luigi not the CEOs and angry middle management types.
