Two years ago, Tam's best friend Iphi was the sole casualty of a freak tsunami. Now, Iphi’s back—impossibly alive with a newfound affinity for water—and threatening to upend the peace that Tam has built after the years of grieving … by… being a really fun person to hang out with?

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!
![Graphic with multiple picket signs that reads "[up arrow] Minimum Salary", "4 day Work Week", and a big cancel sign over "AI Replacing Jobs" and so much more.

I think the main obstacle putting me off of opening bluesky (the way I used to open extinct classic twitter) is the constant feeling of showing up with bleary eyes and bedhead to some sort of Work Thing

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

It's about a cursed knight who's deserted his order, and now he's been blackmailed into delivering the head of a recently executed prisoner to the queen... but when he shows up the guy is unfortunately very alive

Lord alive, they want fictional characters in fictional sexual situations to model consent for literal adults like a patronizing early 2020’s sitcom where the point of the writing is to convey that the writer’s been to therapy at some point

the boys are hanging out!! 😍🐎⚔️🦎 If you're in Austin you can pick up both series at local queer indie favorite Birdhouse Books~ Also check out Triple Strike for an super fun M/M novel with lovely illustrations and a romance that develops during the main adventure (which is my favorite!)
Signed the copies of Triple Strike at Birdhouse Books while I was there to pick up a couple volumes of The Summer Hikaru Died! (Also see how TS is hanging out with @lorian.bsky.social’s gorgeously illustrated MM light novel?? 😍)
