Nuri (too aware)

Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."

Nekima on the Target boycott.

A broken, blue heart

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.

I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

Fantastic topic and great interviews - I would also add that it's my understanding that (pre-2020) seiyuu performed together and that collaboration came through. In the US it seems like it's more on the directors and actors to glue the pieces together.

obsessed with this cover and it lives in my heart

bsky.app/profile/atom... or perhaps more

you know those sonic and shadow figures that hold up your controller. went to a party tonight at my siblings’ place and sonic the hedgehog was holding up a picture of my dead grandfather on their ofrenda

one of our friends in a similar industry had a store opening last weekend and I noticed that two of their flyers was made with gen ai - when I reached out to let them know in case they were swindled they said they did it themselves and that they "had no choice" like what? zero self-awareness

Several months ago, actors made it clear that they were withholding work from Genshin Impact because of a lack of basic AI protections

Hoyo fans told them it would/could never be an issue

Last night, Hoyo posted several official videos promoting Genshin's new mode

Here's what the VO sounds like.

The voice is not being limited to just the content outside of the game itself - there are also some voice options for the Manekins - and if they are not generatively created then sound artificially modified. Mine was in English and my husband tested the Japanese and we both got the same vibes.

I was watching the beginner tutorial and I don't think that this is voiced by a human being, which automatically makes this mode a massive problem. It's no secret that Hoyo has been exploring ways to replace artists with generative tools and I feel like this is the soft launch.

Every other screen feels like it's asking me to swipe a credit card in order to unlock some kind of premium cosmetic item. I know it's new and it's a system I don't really understand, but even the free Preview Outfits only last two weeks unopened and then 24 hours once opened.

According to this article, a content creator can earn some compensation for creating high quality Wonderlands, but due to many of the laws coming up across several countries one has to upload many pieces of sensitive/personally identifiable information in order to retrieve it.

There's a bunch of things that aren't sitting right with me on Miliastra Wonderland, after tooling around with it for a few hours - it offloads content creation on the players, it constantly begs for gacha money, and many of the voiced content sounds artificially generated.

Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations. Then buy a couple more boxes

@braxophone.bsky.social husband had your latest video playing and the way I whipped my head around hearing the r slur, I was disappointed it survived the edit even though it was directed toward yourself

he is exploited in death as he was near the end of his life

Unable to DM and interested in a full set!

Hoping your discomfort is brief and you feel a thousand times better soon!

This is how they make up

I'd vote for her in a cocaine heartbeat and I'm not kidding.

good

infographic titled Nuri Core: Hot Summer Core with the following nine traits and graphics: a raised beige hand palm out/voluntary group leader, note and pencil/prepares plan b, plant sprout/lightning-fast making ppt, scissors/cuts useless relationships, person with glasses and a neutral stare/logic over emotions, bar graph with an arrow trending upword/plans other people's lives too, a badge with "LV. MAX"/maced job specs, smiling emoji with sweat drop/"I'll do it", and a clock in bed/even plans rest time

what did poomang.com/en/t/mycore_... just call me

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries

- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support

youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

People ask me how to get into voice acting or how to be a good voice actor etc and frankly I rarely have any good info or advice

But if I could encourage one thing?

Keep the part of you that's kind close to your heart, and don't let any part of the industry or the people within it destroy that.

Touched this one up ONE MORE TIME. ... Watch Bsky just EAT THE QUALITY.

Husband and I loved it, thanks for the rec!
