The whole concept of 'Alien vs Predator' is so funny. Alien (1979) is a masterpiece of sci-fi horror that paints a deeply lasting and uneasy picture of sexual, capitalistic and cosmological predation. Predator (1987) is a movie about Arnie running around the jungle doing quippy pew pew pew gunfights

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.
Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.
The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

Brush Burial: Gutter World is OUT NOW.
it's a lite immersive sim with tightly interconnected levels, a melee combat system based on positioning and counterattacks, and almost a hundred cosmetics to unlock.
you can get it on Steam, and play the demo there as well.

I'm disappointed but not shocked to see Blue Prince miss the cut, given that it's English only and many of the judges are outside of the US/UK.
Not much suspense here - Clair Obscur is the fan favorite and has the best narrative (ex-Ubisoft devs go indie), even if there are more interesting games

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.
The full count as of today:
YouTube suspended
Twitch banned 3x
Patreon suspended (temporary)
Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)
Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?)
Buy Me a Coffee suspended
Vice reporting censored
Pornhub censored 3x times
Fansly censored 1x

Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)

Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??

So I ended up short on my last paycheck due to missing work with no pay because i was out with covid.
Im missing about $700 from my check, and have gotten help over the last few weeks but still need about $500 to fully make it to next paycheck.
Anything helps two trans people survive!

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.
