If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it:

Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldnโ€™t need to beg you.

There have been many conservation efforts to save various animal species and environments that have been succeeding. California Condors have been on the rise in population, for example, and the rain forest is being restored.

It might be good to include these talking points when you call Visa/Mastercard.

"So you support Roblox, a website/app known to endanger children, but you refuse to support legal adult content? What kind of message are you sending to customers?"

negative steam review:
Scripted death right in the beginning of the game, no way to avoid, no way to remove the 'achievement' stain from your play history when it happens

And the game dev and their crony community call this 'a pivotal part of gameplay mechanics' and not what it actually is, a direct, coded betrayal of player trust.

Why should I bother investing any further time in this title when the dev just seems comfortable arbitrarily killing you whenever with no recourse to fit their childish metaexamination of savegame mechanics? Life is too short to be a script kiddie's emotional punching bag.

Even worse I have no idea how many more 'omg you died teehee' little moments and 'achievements' they've created to litter my profile with unerasable proof of failure.

But since the art is pretty and it's about friends, everyone will just ignore how emotionally abusive insertdisc5 is and how casually they just dismiss all criticism

Last and most bitter to me, the game is paced that you don't get the gutpunch till JUUUUST after the refund window. I kind of feel that was deliberate on the dev's part to even more severely punish people like me who don't enjoy being railroaded into character death.

Toby Fox did the same motherloving thing with their ;uwu omg toriel scripted crit,; and the community defended his abusive actions then just as I expect insertdisc5's will do here.

I am so motherloving tired of indie game devs being emotionally abusive and calling it cheeky fun

I was bad for years with dramatic shifts in my art style (if you know of my old DA, it's all still there for people to see). I never started drawing to "be good." I started drawing because I liked doing it. I liked creating. I wanted to portray the things I liked.

If you think the process of making art is agonizing, either try a different medium or realize you're not a creator. It's ok. Artists like the process. Otherwise, we wouldn't do it. At the very least, get the rubber out of your mouth. You're only giving these AI companies the distraction to succeed.

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act.

Regardless of how well or poorly you think Itch handled the situation that Stripe shoved onto them, keep the pressure on the payment processors.

If you get completely fixated on Itch's missteps (and I think they made some real ones), then you're giving the actual source of the problem a free pass.

No lie, this calling campaign is one of the most effective levers we have at the moment.

If we sustain the campaign through the financial quarter we'll be sending a strong message that this administration is bad for business.

Please continue making censorship unprofitable.

โœจ HOW TO: support artists for $0.00 โœจ

- leave a like!
- repost their work - more eyes!!
- comment on their posts! (an emoji goes a long way!)

all of this means so much to artists and helps immensely!! just a reminder that support does NOT always have to be financial ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿคโœจ

I didn't even read much of homestuck, and it feels like directly translating the pester logs would be boring for an animated show. A lot of talking back and forth that's easier to take your time with as an interactive web comic and cutting it out cuts out characterization.

I went to a star wars con this past weekend and it was wonderful to see even a small section of what the actual fandom is like. Age ranges across the board, and even tho it did skew toward white men, I saw plenty of others there in different demographics. Star War is for everyone โ™ฅ๏ธ
