chris person @Papapishu Follow ... One movie is equal to one book, which is equal to one season of TV. Each unlocks a dialogue tree and is worth one precious "brain coin." This is why Movies remain one of the best dump stats if you are min-maxing the mind.

Reposting my “brain coin” theory here

one thing i could just never grasp about this stuff, even when it was central to how i made a living, was why anyone would ever invest in it. devote even a second of their day to it.

until sony officially unveils a machine this 'news' is literally worthless. its horoscopes for dorks.

Stacey has what is to me the definitive analysis of all this discourse on games and art:

Did not get a chance to talk to you afterwards, but I wanted to thank you for sharing your story. It meant a lot and was very touching.

Leaving Freeplay today inspired, as I usually am after Freeplay events, but also a little sad. Heavy topics covered in today's theme of Death. Lots to think about, but just makes me more thankful for this community I get to be a part of.

Enjoyed the new Fantastic Four! Did have some issues with it, but overall, loved the heart of the movie, loved the retrofuturistic setting, and had great looking visuals generally, especially the shots in space.

people in the replies being angry at itch over this is just, like, you have no politics, you have no capacity for solidarity, you have not even a frame of reference that approximates the real world, all you know is how to lash out at someone who's in reach of your anger

everyone yelling at itch in these replies is a goddamn moron. what the fuck do you think itch is capable of doing against a combined trillion-dollar force?

Not a new thing by any means, but it is ridiculous how much power payment processors have over distribution of art and media. Should not be the case.

Things that are great at 5 years old and 35 years old

The demo for Building Relationships is out now on steam!! Experience life as a building in this ridiculous adventure game, where you can:

💨 move like a house
🏩 shack up with thirsty structures
🚗 fish up cars
🏘️ and much more

Likewise! Keen to see your talk :D

Keen for this! Hope to see peeps there 🙌

We must have zero tolerance for AI usage in media in any capacity. "Oh it's just placeholder", "oh it's only a small percentage of our project" will inevitably lead to more. It devalues creatives as a whole.

No leeway, no excuses.
