if you like the fonts I use for my videos, I use A LOT of fonts from Chequered Ink. I would highly recommend this pack for any video creator who needs a good multi-use font pack for commercial work.

The plans will unravel. Labour are going through a cycle where they announce absolutely horrible things, legitimise terrible far right views... And then don't deliver the thing anyway, leading to even more anger among those people they riled up.
Listening to Steve Reed explain on the radio today that he can't say what Mahmood's plan means for kids of people who give birth after they've been granted asylum because that's a hypothetical Q govt can't be expected to answer right now made me think these reforms are going to unravel quite fast

A Government of cowards.
Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.
They can't get away with this.

The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.
In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.

My folder of RPG character bits & pieces now has 456 files in it - and those are the separate parts for making your own designs, so there are a LOT of combinations already. I'm still going though! Got a bunch left to do on my list #gamedev #gameassets
Making progress on my RPG character creator assets! All the hair styles and body types are done, currently starting to slog through the clothes (I have to make each outfit 3 times for each body type: Average, Dainty and Heavy). #gamedev #gameassets
