I gotta say, I'm a smidge disappointed that I see people, esp friends n artists I admire, crawling back from twitter every few months like "ahhh they did the Nazi thing again..." before going back to twitter hoping for a different outcome

it's never getting better there sorry...

If you intend to keep using Windows, you can remove the "AI" garbage and telemetry with Windows 11 Debloat.

It also works on Windows 10, because Windows 10 ALSO has Copilot.

Quantic Dream announces they are developing a competitive multiplayer game

Star Wars: Eclipse development still continues

blog.quanticdream.com/writing-a-ne...

For over 28 years, Quantic Dream has been pushing the boundaries of interactive storytelling. With award-winning titles like Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human, more than 25 million players worldwide have shared the journeys of Ethan Mars, Jodie Holmes, Kara, Markus and Connor, with us.

Since 2018, we have entered a new phase of growth and innovation. We doubled the size of the team, bringing together talents from all over the world united by the same passion for creativity. We opened a new studio in Montreal, moved into new headquarters in Paris, built the next generation of our proprietary technology, and became our own publisher.

After years as a single-project studio, we also decided to take a new step. Multiple teams are fully dedicated to crafting the next generation of great games, including something very different, a competitive multiplayer experience, born from the same spirit of curiosity and creativity that has always defined us.

This new title may surprise our fans as it is very different from what we have done so far. But taking risks, challenging ourselves, exploring new ways of playing and telling stories, and attempting what seems impossible, has always been part of our DNA.

We also know how demanding it is to create something new. Earning the trust of players, standing out in such a competitive space, and introducing fresh concepts is incredibly challenging. And since we have no legacy in this genre, we know we have everything to prove — which is why your support and feedback will be essential. Together, we believe we can create something truly unique.

Of course, development of Star Wars: Eclipse continues, and we are eager to share more with you in the future.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all our fans around the world for playing our games year after year, for their kind words whenever we meet, for their patience and encouragement.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

That's what this is, the effect the proliferation of "anti-woke" youtube grifters have had on their audiences as a whole, stunting their ability to engage with media and training them to look for "DEI sins" to call out, atrophying their ability to enjoy the games they're playing.

Really disappointing to see Sabrepulse using AI to create their latest albums.

His statement says otherwise.. but I typed "Math Rock Chiptune" into Suno AI and the results sound the same to me.. especially the drums and leads sound identical.

I don’t believe ey-aye is inevitable as anything we choose to construct. It’s a CHOICE. And annoyingly many are choosing inhumanity, environmental damage and perfect profit. It feels like it’s pure concentrated capitalism. The lowest common denominator. Congrats for selling the world at a bargain.

I've been loving seeing people look up non-social media sites of artists they love and learn stuff they didn't know, or that they can support the artists soon on tours/events! Copy me and pitch the same idea to your people. It's never been more "fuck platforms", let's find and bookmark REAL websites

2 Mello @2mello.net · 8d

Let's do a web search exercise. Think of your favorite artists and creators and find their NON SOCIAL MEDIA links--websites, stores, blogs--then share them in the replies. Also your own if applicable. Then bookmark their website/subscribe to them directly if you haven't. Let's get really connected.

And yes: this means people who aren't American too. You should be asking your politicians why American companies have so much power and sway over what you can do with your money and what you can view online!

Also, a lot of countries outside of the USA are trying to do ID laws and other Spyware.

DCS 🔞 @darkchibishadow.bsky.social · 9d

No more people telling me they aren't sure if their voice matters in this fight.

Every politician should be working for you and be willing to listen to your thoughts, no matter how silly they may seem.

Stop worry about your image and start acting now.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.
