When an account without a pfp comments something like โ€œwould you have smashed the printing press?!?โ€ on a post critical of AI, you can just block them. It feels really good.

Play and discuss as if you were friends trying to get to know each other better, rather than as if you were rival squawking merchants trying to sell competing goods in a marketplace. The world is full of friends and potential friends, and it's much lonelier and more frightening when it isn't.

In an email to GamingOnLinux, one of their team said they expect the de-listing situation to expand further and in their discussions titles like "Grand Theft Auto, Duke Nukem, and Saints Row were described as potentially at risk"

Talking shop with friends and fellow designers is just SUCH a great way to hone one's craft in any field, especially game design. This unit finds such value in it!!!

Tarborn transformation - " Laying his hand on the gem, his head was filled with the booming voice of an ancient, hostile god.

Idk how much is coordination vs animals acting on instinct, but they know that THIS is their chance to make free speech and free expression well and truly a thing of the past

We all have to act and make our voices heard

It really is now or never. Both paypros and government are making the big push to effectively kill the internet. We might be talking about porn now but porn is step one in a process that moves blindingly fast

I think itโ€™s worth reiterating that all the games under attack right now are independent games. The full weight of the AAA industry would come crashing down on all the players in this equation if this was about EA or Ubisoft or Rockstar. But itโ€™s not

this is a must-read. and it's not great that zero democratic politicians/candidates have been willing to speak up about this level of corruption over the last decade. no wonder consultants are so terrified zohran

@voronoi-studios.bsky.social Introduced me to something I was entirely unaware of. I'm starting just some initial experiment work in relation to a game project I've been putting together. This is a mock-up modular engine for said project. More details soon.

Stop.

Collect yourself.

Take a deep breath.

Exhale.

Unclench your jaw.

Stretch your fingers.

Relax.
Relate.
Release.

If just getting up is all you can do and thats okay too. But try to find something resembling your own peace. I hope you have a decent day.

I cannot describe how fucking happy it makes me seeing journalists just pointing out that they're lying. Once again, if you're calling, bringing up these articles as why you're calling is a VERY good idea.

Why are they lying? Why are they refusing to process legal transactions?

Hey Fellow ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Miscreants

The Senate's trying to slip Bill S-209 through on the down-low, and it's basically a photostatic copy of the UK's Online Safety Act except worse because they're making your ISP do it (Telus, Rogers, et al)

Ok here are our goals for the time being:
-Email Youtube/ Google and tell them to backtrack on this AI thing.
-Call Reps to shut down KOSA or else a free internet is dead
- Keep calling Visa, Mastercard, Paypal and Stripe until they fully reverse their decisions on their ends
