The irony that I watched a video about this game yesterday.

Time to download the ROM, me thinks.

Today (date), the Slender-billed Curlew was declared extinct. The first bird extinction on mainland Europe in 500 years — on our watch. Extinction is final. No going back. Think about that.

This was the article, btw! A whole week of people telling me "omg I saw your game on my google discovery thing!" And a great way to legitimate the full release some more by showing "hey, someone IS talking about it!"

After seven years in the making, this adorable hand-drawn indie game is now available in full

Labor of love

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.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Police arrest man based on his ChatGPT prompts. Did they issue a warrant to OpenAI, did company give notice to the accused? How was the prompt “found?”

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.
