"AI is a tool of fascism" really needs to start being one of the primary talking points

cool economic system we’ve got here, where the people who have all of the money and none of the brains generally get to determine everything about the rest of our lives

This is everything I’m about.

There is no ethical use for AI. Even the most innocent seeming use is created off the back of stolen labor and destroys the environment.

A graphic for Catmint Studios’ new crowdfunding campaign Snackoons! The graphic shows a design reveal 2 recently unlocked pins - the first is a red candy fish raccoon named Sven! Sven is in a yellow and blue candy box and has a red candy fish in their mouth. The next design is a brown, white and green raccoon named Junior! Junior is in a green and white candy box and is holding a mint chocolate candy in their mouth. The graphic also notes that matching candy mini pins have been unlocked with the two main pins.

Sven and Junior have landed in the candy dish! 🍫🐟

can you imagine doing this to a kris mii

It probably won’t, but it *seems* like they’ve optimized it a little since that first trailer? I’m sure that a Switch 2 edition is coming down the line, but it’s also gonna bump the price up by like $10-15

We fucking won.

“Meta spent billions just to be outdone by this Steam game made by four people”

WHAT. A. HEADLINE! 🤩⭐🔥

Sit with friends and strangers at the bottom of our screens while you work/study but with animal crossing/ webfishing vibes (and not meta hehe)

hundred billion dollar industry that let bobby kotick retire off the hook with hundreds of millions of dollar bonuses in his pocket while also letting him off scott free from actiblizz's various workplace misconduct & discrimination lawsuits

Hell, I don’t even need my Switch 2 for it since it’s a Switch 1 game

The Verge laid off numerous gaming writers and an editor barely a week ago, and now has an article about how a writer used AI to generate his own copyright-infringing Nintendo games with detailed steps on how to do so.

This isn't games journalism. This is slop and clickbait, top to bottom.

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

Hugh Morris stole my wife and rizzed my dad, how can Nintendo do this to me

Fuuuuuuck I might be a Nintendo fan again, the new Tomodachi Life looks insanely good

A man: "Whyyyyy am I so miserable all the time" The same, but she's now a woman: "Ok that helped but everything else is still fucked"

It has now been four years

when I want to watch pink but my bitch roommate wants to watch green

Actually, on second thought, I think I'm a little too drained from work for a stream rn ;w;

Might pop into a VC somewhere and watch party the games tho, idk ^^'

Y’all 🥹

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Still bummed out I can’t join in on the Coinbox Workshop bracket cuz of work

Buuuuuuut…

I’m thinking I might try to stream tonight and play some Workshop/watch the Coinbox stream?

Stay tuned 👀

Two posts from Tumblr user awakefor48hours "You should create for yourself" and "it's okay to feel discouraged when creating your own original projects if no one interacts with them" are two sentences that should be able to co-exist with each other On the one hand, you should kill that capitalist in your head that tells you to make art only for the enjoyment of other people. On the other hand, it's totally fine to be disappointed that you spent hours or even days on something that only got 4 notes. You can feel both ways.

Sometimes you look at Democrats and think "You've spent so long accepting lesser evils that you don't even consider anymore if you have to accept an evil at all."

It's a complete policy failure that 3 men es control basically all of social media, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Larry Ellison. They control what we see, what we can share, and ultimately how we perceive reality. This is too much power on too few hands. These companies must be broken up.
