I clicked on one game link recently because it looked cool and bottom of the steam page was "Uses AI for a poster" and I went "NOPE"

STOP USING AI!!! One little poster that you could make yourself!!
Use stock images, photobash, MSpaint! I don't care as long as It's not AI.

I've started getting game code emails again and It's so sad when I'm like "oh this seems interesting, oh It's very flashy" 😔

I want to play your cool games please!!

I'm planning to come back to streaming again!
I'm going to be starting again slowly but I'm really excited!!

So if anyone has any fun emote or redeem ideas or even games to play, let me know ☺️
I think the first game I'll stream will be LAN Party Adventures!
No set date yet but hopefully soon 💚

If you are chronically ill, just remember:

🔸️ It is not your fault.
🔸️ You deserve to be clean, fed, and loved.
🔸️ You are doing the best you can when your body is against you.
🔸️ Regardless of what you think, you are worth it.
🔸️ You deserve to be heard and taken seriously.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

☎️CALL IN NOW☎️
We unlocked the Q&A special for K.THX Radio, my unfiction horror podcast!

AND you can send in audio recordings of your question to be featured in the episode! (text questions are accepted too)

Questions can be about anything as well as in or out of character!
tinyurl.com/kthx-callin

vintage-style poster reading featuring void answering a phone with three disembodied hands also holding up phones to them. the poster reads: "call in now! have your voice heard on the #1 radio show taking over liminal space during the first ever Q&A special on K.THX. Do you have a question burning in your brain keeping you up at night? Need advice? Want a behind the scenes peek at the studio's day to day?... Call in and lay it on the line..." A tear-off submission box reads, "Please! Answer me..." with fill in spots for name, question, deepest desire, and the question "what are you willing to sacrifice?"

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

I will gladly draw all of the frogs as a symbol for the movement, explicitly to take them back from the fuckers who co opted Pepe for their nazi shit.

I'm pretty sure this boxset was the only one I played as a kid but I loved them and re-played them a lot!

The more people that turn up and show Wizards that supporting trans people is popular, the better. Make it inescapably clear to them who their players are and what you care about.

Magic: The Gathering @magic.wizards.com · 14d

Jokes on me because while trying to update my profile and look at forum posts, I have discovered Imgur is now blocked in the UK and I can't see ANY image from that site now...which is a site used a lot on Gaia.

I hate it here.

It took a while for them to get to my ticket, but I got my old account back pretty easily.
I went through too much effort to get that narwhal plushie as a child, I couldn't lose it!

Since everywhere sucks, can we all go back to Gaia online and make silly profiles and posts again? 😩

i encourage all my non artists to just find a deviantart base from the 2000s. i encourage tracing over ur fav anime. i encourage sonic recolors. i promise its a lot more fun. crediting the artist is so easy as well u can write it too. writing is so fun and freeing. do it show me your heart

🔞 kyrosh @kyrosh.com · Jan 14

i occasionally get questions if i take ai slop or written text as reference and i do not - just open up mspaint and hand me one of these bad boys, maybe a couple refs for the hair and bodytype and you have a million times better shot of getting a ref slot
