Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed.

I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.

β€œMalicious actors are getting far more sophisticated through the use of AI tools, which allow scammers to rewrite or paraphrase text and alter imagery to make subtle changes that maintain the appearance of authenticity while avoiding detection”

I'd rather lick a cactus than be on Team Gen AI.

A woman with pale skin, white hair in two braids, and delicate gold tattoo on her face floats in the night sky with a full moon and starry sky behind her. She is wearing a thigh length purple dress with long sweeping sleeves. There are glowing blue lines etched on the fabric of the dress, and two ribbons of light with geometric patterns are trailing behind her. A ring of magic with glowing orbs is circling around her as she floats.

Commission work done for YeetMaur

A dark skinned man with dark brown hair and a beard framing his jaw, dressed in a white robe and dark brown pants crouches with one hand on the ground as he swings at demons with his katana. The enemy demons are dressed in red rusting armor that looks worn and damaged. The scene is set in a bamboo forest with a path cutting through it, red banners on either side of the road. It appears to be in the afternoon, with a rich orange glow streaming in between the bamboo.

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step β€œfor dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists

Woman refuses Cycling UK award over trans women being left out Claire Sharpe says she disagrees with Cycling UK only naming biological women in their top 100 list.

Cyclist turns down trans exclusionary honour for woman cyclists (and you can feel the BBC’s teeth grinding about it).

"If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of".

Make your characters relatable. Give them quirks, habbits. Let them be strong and weak. Try not to make them perfect. (Something I do struggle with)

In a world where bad actors don't disclose their use of gen Ai or don't care about the impact this tech has, I think more devs should make it clear their games are crafted by themselves.

There are a ton of cool badges available online you can add to your storefronts. We made ours! :)

Hardest: Keeping things concise. My ability to Yap is iconic

Easiest: Making my readers emotionally invested.

Because the big company doesnt give a fuck about anything other than profit.

If you can gut an entire branch or two and keep things "good enough for use case." why wouldnt they?

I think a lot, especially living where I do now, that Ruby Bridges (now 71) is younger than my mom.

Today I’m thinking about how she walked into William Frantz Elementary School when she was younger than my Small Niece is now.

...anyway, Battle Suit Aces is an old-school mecha-inspired, colorful, heartfelt, sci-fi deckbuilder/rpg drawn by humans, voiced by humans, written by humans, and marketed by humans.

you can play it now on Steam, Switch, and PS5!

VOID DEV THREAD TIME!!

We struggled to get Beatrix/Bunlith to render properly due to the shows limited color range, so we decided to embrace the 'crushed blacks' problem and gave void a 100% blackout shader and focus purely on silhouette
