ah yes: my fav award show ended up using indie game devs during the pandemic to juice numbers/recognition in a desperate attempt to stay relevant and now has axed the program bc don't want to be accountable for the people they "uplifted".

i want to say i'm disappointed but that would imply surprise

Call your senators. I don’t care if they’re Republicans, or if a deal has already been reached. Call them anyway, and let them know exactly what you think of what’s happening. Don’t give them a moment’s peace to forget the blood on their hands.

So Democrats get:

1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays

2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail

3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts

Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

Casual reminder that the myth of β€œpulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

You don't hate Rockstar enough, once again circumstances prove that the negative stories about them aren't exaggerated, but watered down.

A character illustration of Blackrose from the Dothack series reimagined if she were maybe older and more muscular. She's posed with one hand on her left hip, turning to her left toward the viewer, and her sword perched over her shoulder being held by her other hand. Complexion is kind of a fake skin tan color with some light yellow tattoos under the eyes, ribs, shoulders, and neckline. There are vambraces, a single shoulder strap armor bust, an armor skirt, loincloth, tights, and a choker. Her hair is a light cool pink, most of the armor is dark purple with gold accents, and her sword has blue accents with a gold hilt. 
The background  is a gradient of the base colors used on Blackrose, from top to bottom it's yellow, orange, purple. Various motherboard, digital circles, and triangular lined patterns are placed atop the gradient.

I was around the age of Kite when i played .hack IMOQ and I wanted a Blackrose that felt like she grew up with me instead of remaining a small lady holding that big sword.

Here it is. I just uploaded a repack of Tron Evolution, the prequel tie-in game for Tron Legacy that was delisted way back in 2019.

It's working offline with both Securom and Windows Live DRM fully disabled, just install and play, enjoy.

A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social):

As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead."

But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that"

Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

The Alternative to Medium/Substack - Sharpie Posts Stop using closed-sourced solutions and move towards free and open-sources options that scale better, especially for indie creators.

If you want to start a newsletter and don't want to use Substack because they currently platform/sponsor Nazis: consider using the free and open-sourced alternative that has been around for over a decade.

I'll personally walk you through it.

I made a β€œhow do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.

So β€œhow do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of β€œhow do you do, fellow kids?”

Hmm, this isn't a good look for Bitmap Books after their recent 'issues'.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.

If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!
