👋 hello, I'm only sort of a geek, who thinks indie games are cool and then clock 4500 hours in Sims 4, have never owned a consol except a Sega Megadrive which I only played Golden Axe on. I also don't care for horror movies or Anime...
My computer history is C64 -> Amiga 500 -> PC.

Growing up in the South, I remember the appeal of the Confederacy lore in school was because a bunch of fucking idiots took being called the descendants of traitorous losers really personally.
They had to create a reality where their ancestors were heroes.

It’s a question of when, not if, the AI bubble pops.
There is no possible way that OpenAI can make enough revenue to justify the investment money it has taken in, over any timeline you might consider.

To give you an idea of how "AI" has fucked up the holiday season, their insane demand for RAM chips that's barely even being used has caused a production drought for every other application.
Meaning right now you can buy a cheap PC, yank the RAM, and sell it on eBay for twice what the PC costs.

Trump claims “any document” signed by Joe Biden is “hereby terminated.”
He calls out executive orders later but obviously “any document” would be much broader and include legislation.
(He can’t legally do that but, as always, we get to watch how far he can push this without repercussions)

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked.
Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight?
Also go support Nakufin.

I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

should freelance writers get paid more than minimum wage?
it's a wild question, i know, but a lot of people seem to think it's OK that freelancer's rates have FALLEN every year
and when indie pubs try to pay even average rates, y'all complain about paywalls, which tells me your answer is "no!"

One of the reasons I've never bought into AI doomerism, is that to believe "it's here to stay, get used to it!" you have to buy into the idea that AI generated elements are so hardcoded or integral as to be permanent, when they really aren't.
You can simply remove it, and it's gone just like that.

So the director of the Swedish Unemployment Agency (goverment agency) did a commercial for an IT company they employ.
That's 100% illegal, and as the director he 200% should know that.

Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

If you buy a Digital game on PlayStation, Xbox, or Steam you can find out what accessibility features it supports. Could we bring those tags to physical games?

@laurakbuzz.bsky.social Not sure if you'd be interested but AdHoc games still have the accessibility tag "playable without timed input" on Dispatch despite having fast timed dialogues.
The game picks a default option if you don't choose in time which feels like a "technically correct" solution.
