We’re not running out of good ideas, but the tech fetishists who have no ideas other than “but I put a lot of money and emotion into this basket” always do, and their narcissism does not allow them to consider that their failed ideas suck, and the flop sweat is palpable.

What if fuck you.
America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.

I thought of a couple C- jokes for this but the overwhelming feeling is just how sad some peoples lives are. We live in a world full of wonders and amazing experiences and this is all some people have, this is what they think life is. They have a profound emptiness.
Nothing says getting into the festive spirit like going online to shout at some biscuits

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht
Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.

Hey— I need help.
Covering for mother’s living expenses,being out of job PTO, and increasing costs of utilities have sent my finances crashing from a downward spiral.
I have a fundraiser up in order to safely attend AGDQ, and to have a home to come back to.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

I'm gonna put my posts where my mouth is and give y'all a list. I'm gonna try to make most of them this year or recent but I also got some older ones I need y'all to play.
Also, if some of them aren't technically indie my bad (the definition is so fluctuating nowadays anyway)

New rule this year: If you post "Play more indie games" during the game awards, you are required to make a thread recommending 50 of them.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

CANCEL your Fortnite subscriptions and DELETE the game from all your computers.
Choosing—and yes, it is a CHOICE— to license Harry Potter in 2025 sends a message: "We do not care about trans people."
No amount of Miku or trans-colored cosmetic items can make up for this.

Fuck Fortnite, Fuck Epic, Fuck The Game Awards.
Posting this to their X but NOT their Bluesky just SHOWS they know they're doing some bigoted shit & just don't wanna get called out for it.
Imagine hurting your Transgender playerbase like this? And your Transgender viewers {In the case of TGA}?

"We used AI, and it used more work hours than a traditional production."
…so by your own admission you used more time, more electricity, more resources, to produce a less good commercial, that paid fewer people, none of whom were from the field of filmmaking?
Sounds great, yeah.

This is a since-deleted LinkedIn post from the marketing agency that created the since-deleted AI-generated McDonalds Christmas ad, and all I can think of is how the energy consumption must've been about on par with a small suburb or heavy industrial load to produce 30 seconds of slop everyone hated
