Cannot stress enough that separation of art and artist is in fact about a creator's inability to control others' interpretation of their work, and has since been co-opted as a defense for shitty people to keep consuming IP that fund incredible harm. Or like. Shitty youtubers I guess.
be bad at your new hobby who cares
staring lovingly and silently at elves
i feel this game in my soul

I have unlimited slots open for commissions at: vgen.co/heinously

Thank you so much for boosting
I’m real fucking sick of having to live under the unwashed fingers of a pedophilic death cult.
tbh i was sort of a data center water use data skeptic until i read these water contracts and now i am just very angry and want answers
A screenshot from FFXIV’s patch notes showing a dark-skinned Female Viera (bunny girl, left) wearing a white Sari-inspired top with white harem trousers with cutouts in the thighs. She is wearing gold sandals and her clothes are decorated with gold coins On the right is a male Hrothgar (Tiger? Man?? Wearing white harem pants, black sandals, and a red and gold draped top.
Anyway, the new “Corvosi” outfits look terrible.
“But surely they don’t mean it!” I don’t care.
“But it’s fantasy!” I don’t care.
We don’t live in a vacuum. We’ve had decades of writing and advocacy against Orientalism. Do your homework and do better.
I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
3d unicorns. Ok bye
hearing someone say they regularly talk to ai chatbots for anything does feel like they just rolled up their sleeve to reveal a festering zombie bite
there is no emotion quite like a person in a mmo jumping up and down
harvest moon player since i was an infant: SV is basically just a harvest moon clone. i will say it absolutely did add a ton of QOL and features always missing from harvest moon games. it was clearly made with the intention of improving on the genre. harvest moon games in comparison have stagnated
i believe the inn events have unique conversation/events for over an in-game year. the game has a ton of unique dialogue. probably more than any other farming sim ive played in my life
all the wols i’m seeing rn are just people recreating this
Over the past year, every single time one of the apps or services I use suddenly became less reliable and more buggy, I never have to look far for the "Claude is amazing and now writes most of my code" post for the devs involved.
only caught a glimpse of the emet-selch discourse and my opinion has always been this since day 1
i watched an annoying streamer play the first like hour and then had to get it. i dont really like rpgmaker games but it is honestly so good. the body horror/transformations are so fun
look outside is a horror pervert game to me but i dont think that was the intention
being a lesbian was an insult. and now that i am proudly a dyke no one sees or considers me one at first glance. its now auto trans man and treated as like being respectful good thing.
it's kinda crazy cause growing up i was a fat hairy ugly girl. i was constantly called a dyke and lesbian as an insult since 10 years old. before i knew anything. and now that im an adult and id as a nb butch lesbo people just auto consider me a trans man despite not being on T or having top surgery
look... outside....
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
You will look at my elf. You will look at my elf right now.

It seems like the majority of people are just looking at the headline and interpreting this as another "whoops! user data got leaked! our bad!"
What was actually exposed was code used in Persona's software. Code showing that this company is doing A LOT MORE THAN CHECKING YOUR AGE.
Panel 1: In december the under 16 ban went into affect Discord mandated age verification. Between Face-scan and providing a photo ID, I thought I was safe with a scan Panel 2: My account was insta-suspended in under a minute, I am over 30 years old and it identified me as under 13 Panel 3: Discord gave me an ultimatum: give them a photo of me holding my ID or never use my account again Panel 4: I tried arguing I feared for my privacy; they have leaked ID before, I tried arguing I'VE BEEN PAYING THEM FOR 8 YEARS. They didn't listen Panel 5: I couldn't talk to most of my overseas friends for a month Panel 6: Looking for advice online: Turns out victims of the UK/AUS ban had it better than the norm; at least a person saw my complaints. Most suspension tickets are auto declined by bots; I cannot envision Discord scaling this for worldwide fairly Panel 7: I eventually complied, I'm pretty luck; I could get away with an expired license Panel 8: Currently discord is being hammered by people cancelling nitro subscriptions, I'd cancel mine if they hadn't had done it for me already Panel 9: my advice is this: Ensure Discord isn't your only point of contact with your friends
