It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke.

This is not a joke.

We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.

I have so many things on my plate but would anyone be interested in an itchio jam dedicated to trans masculine protagonists. Trying to figure out the best way to word "I am specifically looking for trans masc guys who top/are not forced to exclusively bottom" and tbh I might go evil with the rules

So I've been using this for just 4 days and it has utterly changed how easily I can keep abreast of news, I've caught multiple new releases, local news I never would have seen, etc

Why did we ever stop doing this, RSS still 100% FUCKS

America wants to label swathes of human beings just like me and just like you as pornographic, as illegal, as degenerate freaks.

But I'd rather be a freak than a fascist.

You'll not see a lot of reporting from game press about adult content and the bans. For several reasons (read @acvalens.com for some), one among them that indie sites rely on the same payment processors that are demanding these content restrictions. To be blunt: Reporting is financially dangerous.

NEON STRUCT gets a bad rap from immsim die-hards because it isn't Deus Ex. but for a short, enjoyable little indie Thief-like stealth game, it's very fun! it was my first foray into that sort of game, and it works well. it's not a masterpiece but it's not trying to be one. and the music is great

I know, things are getting worse with every passing day. And yet, optimism is a duty if we want humanity to survive and, finally, evolve past this age of brutality and collapse.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

I choose love over hate.
And bigger love when love comes.

If you're unsure about trans people,
Chiitan isn't asking you to understand.
Just watch over them kindly.

Trans folks simply want to laugh, love & grow
with those who light up their world. πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

so much cultural and political effort gone towards making a project of pacifism and an end to war seem like a soft, prosaic concern of comfortable people rather than an essential part of the project of justice and human flourishing

This was my response when my agents asked if I wanted to pitch on this reboot back in November. I really hope more creatives do the same so that the likes of Max Landis are all they can hire. I may not make an honest buck but I’m a hundred per cent American and I don’t work for no two-bit Nazi.

I strongly encourage people feeling too much of The Doom to emotionally regulate themselves, very deliberately, if you start dipping into the despair. Being overwhelmed can quickly turn into learned helplessness and we absolutely need people to do what they can to positively impact what they can

Important Friday message from lawyer representing politically active people. Please listen if you want to keep yourself and others around you safe.

Avoid easy ways of getting caught up! Always remember - STFU!

It's simple! The top bar selects what mode the viewport is in; the tabs select the scene. Of course, only the 2D and 3D views care what scene you're in, and the Script view helpfully keeps the same files open regardless so that I can click on a different scene and get confused when nothing happens.

The fact that she can spawn in assorted objects Gmod style, including defense objectives, keys, and laser orb traps, is absolutely unhinged. I love how willing DE is to add stuff that will absolutely break the game. Playing with a Follie in the party will be baffling to new players.

The new big beautiful warframe has an ability that makes a clone out of inky goo that protects her and grows taller and taller the more you kill.

Nightwave is the most repeatable source, generally, but you don't get much currency until you've hit rank 30. They also show up in limited quantities in late game activities like the Hollvania Calendar and the Descendia.

The common thread here is normativity. If you believe that what is common is objectively normal, and that only what is normal is right, then you are doomed to keep narrowing your concept of who should be permitted to exist.

The ChatGPT pattern is most infuriating to me when Y is just a more (or, heaven forbid, less) vehement restatement of X. As long as Y is actually a new statement, I think you're good.
