Kinu Nishimura and Tsukasa Kotobuki say that some clients no longer simply give verbal instructions or a rough sketch when ordering an illustration, but now provide an AI-generated image, which stifles artists' creativity by limiting their scope for interpretation.

I basically have to swear off streamers for the most part because I realized that 'playing the game well' is significantly more important to me that whatever bit someone is doing.

Way more interested in hearing someone's genuine thoughts on a game because that's actually interesting.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

You heard me

"the genie is out of the bottle"

They are so desperate to normalize this as fast as possible.
All quotes I read from companies "embracing AI" are basically

"please just admit it's here to stay, just admit it, accept it, admit that this is the new normal now. It's here, JUST ACCEPT IT!!!!!"

Been hyperfixated on Metroid again, so wanted to try spriting a mockup of a Metroid game as if it were on the Sega Genesis. 4 palettes with 16 colors each (including transparency)

Buying games is now "high fraud risk" cause people didn't wanna stick up for sex workers. Censorship doesn't stop once it takes something it finds new things to take to justify continued censoring. It echoes fascists general need to always invent new enemies.

Very important factor to this

Sure, I love muh elf.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Hell, you can still be transgressive and offensive if you want to! If you think becoming a pariah is worth throwing slurs around, no one can stop you from doing so!

Literally all you have to do is keep in mind that there will be consequences for your actions. That's it!

The part that's wild to me is that it's actually not that difficult to avoid being transgressive and offensive. You can jump into a search engine and get an idea of what is and isn't broadly offensive.

Not EVERYONE will agree, obviously, but you think you can please everyone, that's just on you.

Here's four (of the many) games I like to celebrate the PS2 turning 25.

Congratulations. You've unlocked the next stage of friendship. You are now eligible to receive copious random lore drops about my characters and made up worlds

What soccer really needs is its version of Base Wars or Blades of Steel. That'd spice it up a lot.

Honestly, I'd say baseball is beaten out by soccer as the worst major sport. Always seems like I see more weirdos and out of pocket shit in baseball, which is always great.

The thing is like if we want to fight back against prudery and sex negativity we also have to stop referring to stuff as 'gooner art' and accept that nsfw shit that reads as 'for the male gaze' has as much a right to exist as your favourite yaoi

Until SNAP is funded, here’s an ongoing list of Bay Area restaurants where SNAP recipients can receive free food. Just bring your EBT card!

Lobbying from groups like Uber/Lyft and automobile companies is precisely WHY we don’t have better public transportation.

The B Plot of “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” was about this, actually!
