Hate does NOT belong in games, a discussion. I’ve been through a LOT as a trans man in the gaming community. I think it’s time we talked about it! I also include a titbit about Veilguard people might not already know 👀 enjoy! Like and Sub for more!

Today’s Dragon Age stream is being moved to tomorrow, as I have to do some blood tests ahead of surgery next week.

I’ll be on the Natural Six stream at 8pm UK time though, so see you there!

Hard agree.

Fwiw: I blocked them years ago on Twitter. Still block them & their amplification networks when I come across them.

I try not to repost news from Meidas because, and this is important, they click bait and rage bait and honestly I don't think any of us need that shit.

I've had this problem more than once. Given that I was researching fake acct networks at the other place, I pissed off a lot of people (who used networks). Plus, it was a few years ago. So, sometimes I don't recognize the people right away. When I do ... it's an insta block from me. ;-)

Marketing: This technology is going to cure all disease, make energy essentially free, free us from want, take us to the stars, and enable us to live forever.

Reality: We've spent billions on an LLM-based porn bot.

Always smiling whenever Varric says Solas' nickname (Chuckles) because it's "Loustic" in french. One letter away from having one of my favourite fictional character to say my alias 🙈💜

(I'm restarting a run with Alba haha I missed playing them & wanted to have non-binary dialogues this time around!)

If you still watch NBC, ABC, CBS News you are watching either explicitly Regime news or at the least regime friendly news.

NBC News has reportedly eliminated its NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT teams

NBC News’ 150 Layoffs Gut Black, Latino, Asian American and LGBTQ+ Diversity Teams

The cuts affected teams across the NBC News operation and came as the network no longer needed to support two different news operations. MSNBC has begun growing its own newsroom, hiring swaths of tale...

Fwiw: they accept people between the ages of 18 and 40.

Yep. 40.

I live in Chicago and this shit is real.

It isn't a gimmick. It isn't an improv show.

Please pay attention to what's happening here because you do NOT want any of this coming to where you are.

There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer.

Not one.

To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.

And here's @lizzysizzy.bsky.social 's Natalie! (Who, as I was drawing her, started to look more and more like Natalie Dormer, tell me I'm wrong)

Black & white digital pencil drawing of a female elf's face. She is smiling with her eyebrows raised slightly and looking to her right. Most of her face is in shadow. She has Ghilan'nain's vallaslin on her forehead and chin, and the left side of her head is shaved, with long, darker hair falling to the right.

Other things need to happen too, no question--but voting will still be essential. CA's redistricting bill is a good example. But, we need to see that in more states (I think CA is serving as a test case before other states try it).

Also, I'm entirely too pissy of an old lady to lose hope. 🤣🤘

Mike Johnson might not care, but it’s not every day when a sitting member of Congress gets hit with a restraining order.
