Thoughts on the movie aside, it's really weird they didn't announce this on the direct yesterday, right? Like, this would have been a much stronger note to end on than Tomodachi and the app, right??

Is it me or does this image of Chandra in the MTG Arena news feed look like it was fed into one of those face app image filters? Maybe I'm seeing things but that specific smile seems like the same exact smile that they all spit out.

With the White House using OpenAi to make racist propaganda in studio ghibli art style there has never been apt scene in anime history:

Stuff like this is perfect because it shows how utterly devoid of creativity genAI evangelists are. Great you recreated a photo that already exists in a drawing style that only has currency because of who you're stealing it from giving the world something with absolutely no value or meaning.

we need to go back to the days where fantasy anime meant girls with big pauldrons.

Oh 100%. People who are mad that the libs made them wear masks People who had to confront their own vulnerability traumatically, and want a Daddy to fix it People who decided fuck it, I don't want to care about others People who resented having to protect the vulnerable & are now eugenicists

After 21 years, Xenosaga Pied Piper had been recovered and is OFFICIALLY no longer lost media! Thanks to the hard work of the Keitai Wiki, @wattetv.bsky.social, and @valakturtle.bsky.social, this integral piece of Xeno history has been recovered! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjo9...

Hey @gogglebob.com you see this? I have never seen actual video capture from this game before, it's all been blurry screenshots and recordings of a phone screen by another phone. m.youtube.com/watch?v=x_zo...

Several years later and Final Fantasy 6 Pixel Remaster finally transitions the music in the final battle properly (once it reaches the proper place after entering the next phase, instead of just starting the next track immediately) Now can we add this to FFXIV's Kefka fight too?

....holy crap now I can't unsee it. That IS what's happening.

One of the greatest arguments against the marketisation of art can be found in the return of Friday Nights. Designed not to perform in line with algorithmic trends, but just to *be* a great series, & each new instalment is better than the last as a result. youtu.be/5G_R-XVpt5A?...

Millennial really has been relegated to 'catch all term for the youngs by out of touch olds' for years now, huh?

Apex Legend's French VAs all refused to come back and provide their voices for A.I. training to replace them. www.reddit.com/r/Games/s/1F... I cannot begin to express how truly and deeply I want these anti-human, scum fuck, corporate ghouls to lose their jobs. *Minimum.*

Enshittification is ongoing I see

Making a Samurai Pizza Cats game with Goemon influences is one of the most inspired creative decisions ever. The two series basically have the exact same vibe. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ayAj...

School play gets canceled for "inappropriate content". In response students write [REDACTED], their own anti-censorship play skewering the school district, sells out performances, and ultimately takes gold at the Lenaea High School Theatre Festival. www.kqed.org/arts/1397192...

For reference: Procedural generation is shuffling a deck and dealing from it. genAI is feeding every card deck you can find, including ones not for the game, into a wood chipper, slapping a handful of the bits on some glue, and pretending its a playable hand.

Every single year my anxiety brain tells me that this is the year no one turns out...and every single year we break the previous year's record. Together, we raised half a million dollars for @translifeline.bsky.social!💜💜💜 Trans rights are human rights, and all are deserving of equality and love. 🏳️‍⚧️

The Partition of India displaced 20 million people, killed almost 2 million & created a refugee crisis whose effects are still in play over 70 years later, if you actually think it's a model for anything but massive catastrophe, you should not only not be employed here you should be in a padded cell

So much rhetoric against trans people starts with “imagine if this happened…” That’s the entire ideology of the “gender critical” set. Sitting around imagining things and then acting like it’s evidence.

I'm giving away EVERY Masters set EVER! It's Masters Masters! I'm giving TEN PEOPLE each one box of Masters from the entire history of Masters sets as a thank you! Just donate in multiples of $4.00 to @translifeline.bsky.social until Feb 15 at 11am PST! Donate---> give.translifeline.org/tolarian

journey to planet zebes!

So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate. The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵

Castlevania Nocturne directors Samuel and Adam Deats' response when I asked them about their reaction to the discourse the show received for "going woke" and having the *audacity* to have Annette exist while Black.

Not partaking in this myself, but I wish them luck.
