Frieren having story elements that are fascist will never take root in people's minds if they don't even understand that the concept of evil races in itself is a fascist story device

So Israel will use force to prevent the new Syrian government from controlling southern Syria. This is not a minor thing. It slices off a second large part of Syria—after the northeast—and will facilitate the consolidation of anti-state power centers. Over time, it's likely to be very destabilizing.

I need people to understand that a lot of the time, when a game/project gets cancelled—people cannot put that on their CV/resume at all. So, like, additional problems are created outside of being out of a job alongside applications adding, “Must have shipped AAA three games.” Need magic to ship.

Oh—you went two years working on a game that got cancelled, and went to another job? Oh—you went three years working on a game that got cancelled, and went to another job? Oh—you went one year working on a game that got cancelled? In succession—rarity you can put any of those six years on a CV.

And no, as an indie: Indies aren't gonna save games. No indie will be able to employ the amount and type of talent out there. Indies can't begin to design the type of games these gorgeous human beings are able to create. It's like burning down a forest and go 'the petting zoo will save us!'

🚨WRITER BEWARE🚨 I've just gotten an email from a new "self-publishing platform" called Written (written.app), which is making suspiciously extravagant promises about the benefits they offer to authors. After further research, this is just "upload your book with us and make it an NFT :)" 🧵

"Nobody wants to erase trans people from existence" No? Really? They don't? The goal is to bar trans people permanently. Once you're flagged, you can't enter even under a new presidency with little chance of appeal. Idk what the solution is but we're all boycotting the Olympics, right? Right?!

Spare a thought of those kids who have long covid or other invisible chronic illness whose doctors/parents don’t believe them. Being forced to work full time hours, go without breaks etc is devastating to a body still trying to learn its limits.

This administration is unsubtly trying to subvert history (again) today, so I wanted to be clear on what we're about in my space: - Fuck the Marcoses - Fuck Elon Musk - Save our seas (+ it's called the West Philippine Sea) 🌊 - Eat the rich ✨ - Trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️ - Free Palestine 🇵🇸 Also have a cat pic 😇

If CEOs took even a 50% pay cut from the millions in compensation they make each year to put into development and actual devs they’d still be rich and more studios could survive/avoid layoffs but instead we just have a small number of greedy people mismanaging and ruining studios and the industry

Even though it's not very long, this story took me 3 months! Extremely proud of the final result though. And very grateful for translation support and for Mika Choi for sharing her story with me. You should check it out. It's a story about how we can make things better.

Discord has apparently added generative AI "apps" users can use to modify any image posted in any discord server. On by default, no way to disable them, no moderation tools. Fuck discord, support artists (discord sure doesn't).

dude it really is not funny or witty to tag a swastika on nazi stuff. people just see that and think "oh no, nazis have a big presence in this neighborhood, they're out tagging things with their symbols" they don't make the connection that it's meant to be a comment on the specific tagged thing

54 years of the brutal Assad regime and Israel found itself with an ideal neighbour. Now that Syria has the potential for any form of democracy Israel wants to make sure there can be no functional state left. To have Israel as your neighbour is a curse I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemies.

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

I don't like the narrative that "fascism always loses". It implies that the natural state of the world is good, and that we do not need to actively work to bring about that good. It gives people an excuse to do nothing because, surely, fascism will lose. but it won't. Not unless we actively fight it

It really is that simple. We all as creatives must stand together and united. It well and truly boggles my mind the sheer mental gymnastics that folks will. Pull trying to rationalize why its awful for someone to steal and replace their work but it's totally acceptable to use it for something else

If AI is "inevitable" why are you having to force updates and push it on people constantly? If AI is "inevitable", why is there no clear, uncontroversial, use case? If AI is "inevitable", why does it need your constant propaganda? Looks like a "pump and dump" bubble to me.

Indigenous Visayan women were "more zealous" with their women lovers than "men with their concubines" I'm howling because this is so funny. This woman literally kilIed her lover bc she left her for a man. In antiquated central Philippines too, we have toxic yuri

I think this applies to all media and genres. If you don't absorb plenty of the thing you want to make, you won't know the territory and will end up reinventing the wheel. If you ONLY absorb that thing, you end up regurgitating what's gone before.
