An image of clouds and a rainbow superimposed on top is an image of the trans flag and a golden retriever puppy. Bridget from guilty gear is also edited in to the image. Text reads "Deposit a trans person $100 and tomorrow something incredible will happen to you. Don't miss this opportunity.".

Hey Bluesky! Do you want to help a trans woman move to a safe place so she can be with her loved ones? Boy do I have an opportunity for you!

I continue raising money to cover all the immigration expenses (and there's a lot of them)

So basically they tell us trans people are mentally ill & destroy their bodies while they literally hit their heads with a hammer like a cartoon character loosing their mind?

Alrighty folks, time to pull back the curtain a bit - WWII game is real!

Development is still in the very early stages, but enjoy this concept piece for FLASH THUNDER - a retro-flavored shooter inspired by Medal of Honor.

So fucking pissed I have to work so hard to maintain a currently very mid life in the middle of this fucking dystopia.

That’s really the it, man.

No one is immune to propaganda, and if you believe you are, yr in a very dangerous place.

Marinating in the Nazi stew is affecting people’s brains, and we have actual numbers on that!

Ngl, my first impression of switching from Win11 last month was just how peaceful the whole experience is, no bloatware, no newsfeeds that I didn't ask for and

Absolutely

No

I'm an unemployed video game designer with 14 years of experience and multiple shipped titles. Every day I get up to apply for jobs and every day the news says this

IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A WEEK!

Broke: The left should embrace patriotism
Woke: Countries are fake and shouldn't exist

Depends on the distro, but bazzite was exactly like this for me

One developer reported over 100 layoffs as a result of making a commercial success that fell short of Fortnite.

Tunic, Night in the Woods Publisher Says TikTok Is Creating and Running Racist GenAI Ads for Its Games Without Permission - IGN Publisher Finji says that TikTok has been using generative AI to modify its ads on the platform without permission and pushing those ads to its users without Finji's knowledge, including at least one ...

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something.

Some of them barely made it past middle school

“Make bad game? Fired. Make good game? Fired. Make incredibly successful game? Believe it or not, also fired.” Original source of meme is from Parks and Recreation.

the video game industry is a mess

I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia.

But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

"I’ve been working as a writer for the past decade and watching my industry shrivel up and die as a result, so you’ll excuse me if I, and the rest of the everyday people who stand to get screwed by AI, aren’t particularly excited by what AI can offer society." ~ @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit

you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table

you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

He's a monarch, that doesn't count

heads up if any of y'all saw screenshots, videos, articles on uncritical sites about the forum supposedly of only AI agent chatbots interacting - anything interesting going on was BS, human scripted drama made up for attention. they've got nothing

17,000 puppeteers performing. people fell for it

"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology.

mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries.

But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.

Thousands of CEOs just admitted AI had no impact on employment or productivity—and it has economists resurrecting a paradox from 40 years ago | Fortune In the 1980s, economist Robert Solow made an observation that reminded economists of today’s AI boom: “You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics.”

Part of the reason this is all so tiresome is that what we're calling AI is a political project combining a bunch of preexisting sociotechical processes designed to shift power from the masses to the managerial class. A non-exhaustive list in no particular order:

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context
