I really should do a proper pinned post

I'm Heidi, I've written about games, anime/manga, fan subcultures, and related topics for over 20 years! I am a freelance writer who can write about *any* of these topics! I also do great social copy and editing!

(P.S. ask me anything about Virtua Fighter)

After an incredible 37 year career, on October 1st, Dan Forden (1/4 of the original Mortal Kombat team) began his well earned retirement. I cannot overstate the impact Dan has made on pinball, videogames, NetherRealm & especially Mortal Kombat.

I truly love discovering how some very culturally American things become popular elsewhere in the world, and how and why people relate to them

learnt from @nicholasdanfort.bsky.social the other day that Seinfeld is hugely popular in Turkey and I am *fascinated* by this phenomenon and want to read a feature article about it, the translation process, and the relationship with Jewishness.

It’s weird how Squeenix keeps pushing the 3v3 when much of what I hear is “I want the fighting style of the PSP games to come back”

Why does this new Dissidia mobile game even need combat, I’m fine with a chill exploration game where Final Fantasy characters hang out at the arcade and discuss Taito classics

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Matt Burgess (WIRED) @mattburgess1.bsky.social · 1d

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

You honestly expect me to believe that you deal directly with these indie model-makers in Japan and Taiwan when you can’t hire an artist from either of those places to make you a cool logo or background art?

I wonder if businesses realize that using AI art for logos and websites makes them look suspicious

There’s a US-based website offering imported Megami Device custom parts that allegedly works direct with the makers… and their logo and website is riddled with AI assets

Admirably big Satomi no Nazo energy, which is an infamous early PS1 kusoge RPG whose developer had the idea to put similar stickers saying "recommended RPG" on the cases by hand after manufacturing, tricking players into thinking the stores had placed them, a stunt Sony was none too pleased with.

I know it’s the most obvious thing in the world but it’s really sad that so many people have absolutely no desires or dreams in life except to accumulate money and our entire world is becoming a fucking pit because of it
