You should never* judge people based upon the colour of their skin.
*Except for those orange-skinned spray-tan motherfuckers. In nature, colour is often used as a warning to others to keep their distance; heed that warning ⚠️

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games!
Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI.
You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:-

Me: Yay, it’s Cancel Adobe Day! Let’s go cancel Adobe, let’s do it a day early just to be sure!
Adobe: Nah fuck you, we auto-renewed you in advance.
I hope every single person at Adobe trips on uneven pavement and lands face-first in the biggest pile of dog crap in history. Then gets up & repeats.
