love being a 30sometihng bri;ish woman scifi with real feeling manually controlling limbs climbing, considering every hold and step
She moans in pain and breathes heavily, in the intimate and sorta erotic way extremely straining your body causes.

we have nowhere to go from here and i’m tired of being homeless, so i’m posting this to ask if anyone has a place we can stay.

i don't know why it still surprises me a decade in to my career as a video game writer but it truly is utterly impossible to get anyone to read something. if you have a task that requires reading anything longer than a powerpoint slide, just forget about it

I won't be playing any Steam Next Fest games that have used AI.

You can check the AI section on the steam store page of each game.

Our industry is suffering because workers are being replaced with AI "trained" on stolen work.

Don't support the erosion of our artform.

Rejected by HSBC too. Sorry, I really should update the original post to include all the ones people suggest.

I've basically asked every major high street bank from Halifax to RBS to Lloyds TSB; AND every major phone banking app like Revolut/Monzo etc.

I had to actually go for a face-to-face assessment in HSBC for my business account. That was a really awkward meeting Total_Scratch8198

There were around 260 banks on UK and 900 payment institutions.

You tried 11. Just go in branch across every bank you can find, and check their response.

I've tried a whole handful more. I think it was 36+ at the last count, but I've left my folder at my accountant's today so I'm trying to remember a list off the top of my head.

I was hoping somebody on here could signpost me to a bank that actually works with people like me

Similar to my post about "liberation means even for that annoying guy you hate" - weird art includes art you personally don't get, don't like, wouldn't spend money on, find unsettling. Games you wouldn't play. Books you wouldn't read. Decommercialise your preconceptions of what art deserves to exist

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

every game in 2025 isn't about some deep analytical process or whatever gay shit but is about a guy pretending to swing a sword at you for 40 seconds before actually swinging to proc a perfect dodge

My grand theory is that 6.5 is the ideal rating on IMDb for an interesting movie because it means it alienated idiots. If you’d like proof: Almost every Kiyoshi Kurosawa movie is rated between 6.3-6.9.
The IMDb for Pulse, rated 6.5 The IMDb for bright future, rated 6.7 The IMDb for license to live, rated 6.9 The IMDb for cloud, rated 6.4

In the 1960s a bunch of men splashed paint onto canvases. This attracted the attention and wallets of the Central intelligence agency. New YouTube video, took me an embarassing amount of time to get this one out. I enjoyed making it immensely even when it hurt to make.
