How to quit Spotify This Black Friday, here's a guide to finding the best Spotify alternative

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

cancel spotify, buy albums on bandcamp, buy used cds and rip em, share with your friends. 💿

A few months ago I did this, it may be a good time to post it here to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this game. #chronotrigger #chronotriggeranniversary #pixelart #chrono #chronotriggerfanart #gamefanart #retrogame #pixel

HORSES by Andrea Lucco Borlera & @santaragione.com releases today! Banned from Steam, available basically everywhere else, you can already preorder it on GOG and it costs only 5 euros/dollars. I've played it but I can't say anything yet: just buy it.

Feels like this is probably the ideal year to stop even hate-watching and live-posting the game awards. I feel like we can exercise that amount of restraint and self-love, yeah?

an illustrated sticker design in bright colours a "no parking anytime" sign, but half the letters have faded away to read "NO AI ANYTIME" and the no parking symbol has been spray painted to with a dripping red circle crossing out black dripping AI letters

won't have em for this weekend, but i've been getting a few more people at my table than I'd like lately asking *very pointedly* if i drew everything myself, so i designed a new sticker this afternoon that will hopefully quell some of those concerns.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.
