I was a huge fan of Brigador, I gifted a dozen copies to people, it was my one Steam review, I bought into the "plucky indie game making good" story, and then one of the devs (gauss) turns out to have posted a bunch of truly heinous transphobic, racist, "anti-woke" shit on a Something Awful spinoff

Morning! Landlord is doing the bi-annual inspection today, so I'm really nervous. I still need to raise at least $600 by Sunday to make sure rent is paid. Seriously, anything helps! And please share!

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

So she's real rough, but I managed to end my loooooong painting dry spell and get some paint on this Nova. He's a Silverroot Keshik Nova, my partner's favourite mech that she discovered through the games - the way she got into the setting.

Sorry, I have to keep pushing this. I've got just a couple days to raise at least $600 to make rent. There's no work for me and the post-Christmas drought means I didn't even get enough commissions this month.
Good morning! I've got a long day of work and chores ahead of me. Thankfully, today seems to be a Good Brain day and I'm going to take advantage of it. I do still need help with making rent this month, so I have to keep sharing the link. Anything helps!

Bovino is being replaced because he pissed his boss off, not as any sort of change in policy. Homan is likely to be even worse; he spearheaded all of this bullshit.

Love Bruce the man, he’s a great dude. What I said is that his music hasn’t been my thing for quite a while, but no judgement, different strokes etc. Think I’m more of a skeptical lefty than him? but he’s a mensch through & through. And the song brought me to tears. Cathartic. I’m grateful for it.
@billcorbett.bsky.social, I feel like I remember you saying you didn't much care for Bruce Springsteen on a podcast once upon a time, but I was wondering if you'd heard his new "Streets of Minneapolis" 'cause you're heavily embroiled in this. Apparently, he wrote it Saturday & recorded it Tuesday.

Got $100 today, which is awesome! If just six more people could spare that (or 12 could spare $50 each, etc.) by Sunday than I'll be safe for another month. Thank you!
I'm extra sick today. No idea how, I've had no contact with other humans for weeks, but I'm running a fever and everything fucking hurts. I was hoping to show some work today, but eurgh. If you can help out, I'm still shy $750-800ish for rent and it's pretty critical this month. Thank you.
