this clip is so fucking funny lmao

I think it's funny how people will get bored of the attraction. I built this cool Raptor hibachi grill experience how do you grow tire of that!? Are you not entertained!?

I love this game

It was 8 hours of a poorly executed session. We can play anything we love for hours, we play TI4.

This is what democracy looks like

I will make it a priority thanks

I've never played it but I painted the miniatures. It's nice to see someone talk about it I forgot all about this game

🎶"I will make you free
When you're all a part of me~🎶
🎵"Give me your desire
Watch me set your world on fire~🎵
🎶내 황홀에 취해, you can't look away~
No one is coming to save you~🎶
Now we're running wild
🎵Down on your knees...
Let me be your idol~"🎵🐍

Merry Hissmasss to all who cccelebrate~ ;3

Fortnite dragged for collaborating with JK Rowling after canceling Pride celebration - LGBTQ Nation An upcoming Harry Potter x Fortnite collab got leaked.

"Rowling will undoubtedly receive substantial royalties from the Fortnite skins… That money will likely be funneled into her hate campaign against trans people.

"… over a third of… funding for the [U.K.] case came directly from Rowling…"

I do need to update my photos, I've culled some games/ got news ones
But these look pretty good (I hope)

I get it, I thought I didn't like area majority but the more games I played I realized I like it when it's done a certain way. If I decided to avoid all area majority I would miss out on really good games.

We just looked like a bunch of boardgamers that was about to miss the train and he jumped in to help out.

Playing Netrunner for the first time.

Playing Timber Town

My finished tank from the card game Reptile Tank

Just finished breaking the world record for most simultaneous players for Catan Connect.

Going to Essen Spiel was amazing.
My mind was blown by the size of it and the amount of games that were there.

Count me in👋

Thank you so much

Has anyone compiled a list of problematic designers so I know which games to avoid? I know the designer of terraforming mars was talked about as well.

This Is Fascism

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting in front of a whiteboard, where Green has crudely illustrated a hole, a table at the bottom of the hole, and two foxes sitting on the opposite ends of the table. Holding a pointing stick, Green taps at the board, as Blue listens attentively. Green: We dig a hole, and then set up our game table there. Blue: Right. Having drawn a cover over the hole, Green taps at the addition. Green: Then we cover the top and wait for an unsuspecting victim. Blue: Huh. Green taps at the whiteboard again, pointing at the most recent addition to the drawing: A startled third fox falling through the cover at the top. Green: Eventually someone will fall through. Blue: I see. Last, Green's illustration looks the same as it did in the first panel, save that there are now three foxes sitting at the table. Blue turns to look at Green with suspicion. Green: And they'll have no choice but to play with us. Blue: Are you sure this would work?

Yes! I also have too many games to sleeve them all. I'll sleeve them when they need it.

✏️ Happy Labor Day! 🖌️

Did you know that AI “art” is labor theft?

Hi. I’m a professional traditional artist of over 15 years & I was able to make a decent living until 3 years ago.

In May 2023, over 50 of my paintings had been scraped without my consent to fuel AI image generators like Midjourney.

Screenshot of tumblr text post by fourohfourlifenotfound August 24 part 1/3: "If we are ever going to stop this, then you guys need to start learning why this happens. And it's not always because some executive made a decision to favor a TERF. It's because the technology is broken in a way TERFs have learned to use to their advantage. So content moderation is a HUGE task. It is incredibly inefficient to manually monitor all user reports-- when you "flag" something as spam or inappropriate or 'inciting harm' (what Blueskye is saying the banned users had in their posts). So what actually happens is that the bulk of it is reviewed by machine. The precise "how" is a bit of a black box (if you say exactly, it makes it more vulnerable to being bypasses), but we generally know it's a bit of machine learning ("ai", but not he chatgpt kind) and a bit of automation. Generically this gets referred to as an "algorithm" (which is a meaningless word I don't have time to unpack here). The TERFs have a formula. A battle plan, if you will. I've been watching them use it for almost a decade. And they play social media sites like a fiddle every single time."

Text post part 2/3: "The way it works is that they coordinate attacks on targets they dislike. (Usually trans people, but ace discourse is a notable example of targets not necessarily fitting that demographic.) They send links to each other of posts to report. They'll flag it for whatever the nearest thing they can is. The blueskye users were wishing ill to JK Rowling, so "inciting harm" was the excuse selected. "Inappropriate or sexually explicit content" is a common selection for other trans content. Then what happens is the content moderation "algorithm" sees a huge influx of reports for a certain post or user. And instead of making a human manually review all of that, it automatically initiates a ban or takedown. And if the "algorithm" has word censorship built in, it will begin to auto-flag for things containing words in posts frequently flagged, so it begins to auto-flag the word trans itself. This has been happening for almost a decade. There was a trans youtuber who proved TERF hater group chats flagged his videos so much that it started auto-demonitizing identical videos with the word trans in the title, but leaving ones without the word alone. I strongly suspect this is why we see huge amounts of trans women banned for no reason on tumblr. And this is clearly what is happening now."

Text post part 3/3: "How do we fix it? There's no easy solution. All the things about the "algorithm" that make moderation easier for the social media platforms are the exact reasons it's so difficult to defeat. It's hard to teach a machine what's a genuine flag and a malicious one. Again, it's been almost a decade since the issue was raised with youtube, and there has yet to be a solution for rooting out malicious coordinated flagging. But here's one thing that can help: get TERFs off of social media. Stop letting them bait you into petty fights. Learn how to identify them. Block and report them. " Response by drtanner: "Blocking TERFs and other assorted bigots is especially effective on bsky, because the block function there is nuclear. In short, if you block someone, not only can they not view your account or any of your posts, but any replies they made on your posts will no longer be viewable by others, even if they haven't personally blocked that user themselves. If they quote you, you can even decouple your post from their quote. In short, blocking someone on bsky produces mutual hiding of content, and it's extremely effective at starving these cunts of oxygen. Bigots who can't convince people to fight with them and whose posts don't gain any traction because they're blocked by everyone and their dog leave the platform, i.e. Jesse Singal. It works, people just need to remember to do it more. Preemptive blocking of dickheads before they start shit with you is the best way to prevent things like this from happening. "

Very interesting algorithm analysis, which explains the repeated problems with content moderation getting in the way of social justice

tldr: it's always good to block a TERF or a white supremacist or any other type of fascist
