We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

We got married! @yongyea.bsky.social and I started the year with a quiet ceremony just for us, and will have the big shindig down the road. Thanks to @kieranreganva.bsky.social for the 📸 in the garden, and @maryhellscream.bsky.social and @alereyn0s0.bsky.social for the day of pic ❤️

Well aside from Onimusha, Shinobi, Sonic, Digimon, Split Fiction, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater. State of Play is missing that flair

In case you wondered if we were still on strike after six months, and ESPECIALLY if you didn’t know we were on strike at all. After six months.

Hiya ✨ I’m new here so let me introduce myself. 🩵 you can call me Bri 🩵 I’m an actor, voice actor, and singer in NYC 🩵 looking for positive vibes and good times 🩵 here enjoy some pics of me and my kitties! 🩵 looking forward to virtually meeting some new pals #promosky

My hometown team has won

Deleting that other app felt so good guys.

THIS is why I go so hard for the strike. The bargaining partners just told SAG that the AI protections in any contract they’ll agree to would only apply to new projects, & they’d like to reserve the right to scrape people’s past performances in ANYTHING from the internet no matter what.

Bring production back to LA The more jobs that stay, the more money that's spent, the quicker we'll bounce back. Every sector benefits Restaurants, retail, salons, Hospitality, but we need a better tax incentive Go sign at stayinla.org

apropos of nothing, if you’ve never been to the japanese american national museum and you’re local to LA, i highly suggest visiting their permanent exhibition on internment camps. really read about the words/actions of the politicians who tried to justify their existence. People still remember.

One Piece of good news to start February off. www.dailynews.com/2025/02/01/p...

Hoyoverse subreddits taking a stronger stance against AI than Hoyo themselves.

I know people have (understandably) said that they're disappointed the SAG-AFTRA video game strike is still going on. So am I. But we need to be clear here--it's *entirely* the fault of the companies. Don't believe me? Here's what they're currently trying to force on us. I'd *never* agree to this.

www.nytimes.com/interactive/... Check out this article with Hank Azaria talking about AI in voice acting - AI protections benefit everyone x

If you're feeling like auditions are sparse right now: It's the start of the year… In the middle of a critical-priority strike… Coming out of a lengthy period where very little prelay animation was being greenlit… With an absurd volume of layoffs in both gamedev and animation. So…no, it's not you.

If you're a performer working on SL6 and non-union projects during the strike and this doesn't shake you to your core, you probably have no idea how bad things are out there and you should really learn. We need all hands on deck and everyone to push back. And we need it NOW.

BTW, this? This right here? This should HORRIFY you as an actor. Even if - hell, ESPECIALLY - if you’re not in the union. This part of their proposal makes absolutely everything moot. It defangs any AI protections into utter nonexistence. Read it and read it again. They actually mean this.

Our bargaining partners want the right to pull footage FROM MY WEBSITE to create AI models of me without consent or compensation.

Our bargaining partners are trying to claim that I do not deserve protection unless I am "objectively identifiable". I AM A VOICE ACTOR HOW AM I OBJECTIVELY IDENTIFIABLE

To add: DEVELOPERS AT THESE COMPANIES ARE SYMPATHETIC TO US. There is a SEVERE disconnect between developers that do the actual work and the C-Suite losers who invest in them. The C-suite does not care about the product. The C-Suite only care about the "safest" path to their highest payouts.

Grateful for all the gaming companies and producers that have signed the SAG-AFTRA interim agreements. But we have so much more to do to secure protections and fair terms for all actors, voice actors, and stunt performers.

I know the average poster weeb defaults to the JP audio and that’s fine, DNI, etc. But it’s very very embarrassing that Hoyo is not one of these interim partners in light of the market they have, the money they make, and the effort that goes into those localizations.

This is why Destiny 2 launched their newest season yesterday with this message, without explaining *why* two plot-centric characters were missing voice lines.

It has been 194 days since @sagaftra.org actors started striking video games. In that time, we have signed over 150 games to Interim agreements, proving that our demands are more than reasonable. But the bargaining partners still refuse to give us anything more than lip service. (cont'd)

My college diploma has arrived

I’m the English voice of Thetis in The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse! So great to be back (IYKYK) Catch it on Netflix today!

If these games meant something to you, but you don’t feel right celebrating this 30th anniversary, perhaps consider a $30 donation towards a cause that helps the people most in need right now. www.thetrevorproject.org

If you do not like that your games are being released without voiceover, please write to the companies producing them and tell them to sign the SAG-AFTRA INTERIM AGREEMENT to guarantee their actors the right to consent to being fed into generative AI. We are being denied that right.

fuck all of you who voted for this fuck

Ditto

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Apply it to your craft.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Happy Black History month!

After almost 14 years at BioWare, I am devastated to learn today that myself and others must seek new opportunities. I am so grateful for all of the learning, challenges, and most importantly the team. I will remember my time here with joy. Tomorrow we'll move forward. For today I will just be sad.

Mainly it fucking sucks that Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has multiple actors who will be expected to justify their casting as “not woke” since their character’s ethnicity has been changed for the series. While Hudson Thames likely won’t even be expected to justify his comments.

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify. The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips. Good job, friends.
