Ultima heads what up
You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.
Full stop.
"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name
We have to stop this.

I don't fully disagree with Robin-Yann here, but I think I've seen FAR more problems caused by listening to players, than solved.
Listening overmuch biases towards vocal minorities and shortteam bandaids, and diffuses the vision/focus.
I've seen more games ruined by this than vice versa.
hey cuties, i'm looking for some financial support (from folks who can afford it) to help me look presentable for ATmosphereConf and to help with in-person interviews.
i'm at the end of my financial runway, desperately need stable work, and need to put my best foot forward while job hunting.

Those were already as easy to make as sneezing, and were already flooding the marketplace to the point of irrelevance. Been an issue for literal decades.
(It's been an issue since FLASH, honestly, that's when reusable casual game templates starting cropping up for sale)
Yep. I skim, and then tend to skip to whatever chapter or section is relevant to whatever I'm doing.
If I realize I'm missing understanding, I go back to read that, and back again if need be, etc.
I start in the middle and work outward from there as needed.
I bet it's relaxing to be part of an undead skeletal horde
Brain so smooth it's gone, no thoughts, just vibing with my pals as we clickety clack hither to fro at the behest of our benevolent creator
I have been informed that I was "chittering my teeth like a skeleton in a fantasy/horror movie" while I slept, which kept my partner awake, and
honestly I assumed the whole We All Have A Whole Skeleton Inside Of Us thing was mostly figurative, a joke

Righty. Iβm passing the hat again. Sorry, everything is still shit here. Iβm out of money and nearly out of electricity and gas again, never mind food. Bonus! Got the hell meeting on the 10th to see if the family stays together or not.
Signs are glum looking, the kids are not dealing with it well.

Wait journalling works? It isn't just woo-woo? THAT'S the basis for it? I'd been ignoring that as woo-woo nonsense!

It was a nice two-page spread too, centerfold, my mom was very proud
I hadn't even intended to write something for it, my English prof just took one look at what I'd written and vanished in a poof of smoke to run off and find the editors
Not a bit, that was almost certainly the more prestigious
Two times, actually! Once in the graduation edition of my HS school newspaper (big HS but still lol), and then some incredibly obscure journal at my Uni
Funny thing is: I guarantee the school newspaper had more readership than functionally any poetry journal out there π bsky.app/profile/gure...

Like iunno I'm not seeing a lot of emerging products made by AI that are selling great
Kinda seems like those would long since exist if even a tenth of the AI coder or artist claims were accurate
Weird
You do not need cultural buy-in if the robot can make you a video game product
You would simply make the robor make you video games and then sell them
Ditto for websites, products, everything
You only run your mouth if the primary value is clout/investors
Which means it doesn't do what you said
Hand to the gods, this is why I think they're all functionally scammers a/o so stupid their opinions can't be trusted anyways
If you actually found a Do All My Work No Foolin button you would SHUT THE FUCK UP
It would be good if nobody else believed the robot could do your work, you'd encourage it
If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you

This is serious training / aesthetic experimentation for Verminsteel, I swear
Uh
Wishlist Verminsteel if you like the idea of illuminated manuscripts of birds kissing? Am I doing this right? store.steampowered.com/app/4352280/...
The little birds sitting atop the Coronation of the Virgin with Attendant Saints, who are definitely a couple you can tell they have such chemistry
Now they kissin, because I got bored and someone challenged me to make them kiss and 10 minutes later bam, kissy
You can simply make the birds on top of illuminated manuscripts kiss
Nobody can stop you
hooray
