Attention everyone, 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗼! 🥳🎊

A focus on words & letters (because, you know... we're linguists), clean lines and our famous round shape in the middle to evoke our original Void...

What do you think? 💫

Incredible how far we've come.
Remember this didn't come from agencies & publishers suddenly growing a conscience & deciding to be nice, but from people fighting for their rights and forcing the hands of those greedy companies.

They're still greedy, though. Credits are just one piece of the fight.
For the first time since its inception, I'm happy to report that ALL nominees of #TheGameAwards include #TranslatorsInTheCredits! We've come a long way since the dark days of credit withholding, and none of this would've been possible without your support!

"Please use your actual expertise and creativity to train the very machine that'll replace you as soon as we possibly can while not paying you any royalties - no cheating 😊"
Transperfect (big Language Services Provider mainly known for how poorly they treat translators) wants:

- your experience
- your creativity
- your soul (probably)

to feed its machines. All for 505 USD for 2 weeks of work (IF they accept your work).

No AI allowed, how weird?

Cheers everyone, it's #SaturdayVoidRec💫 time!

And this one is about the French indie darling Absolum by @dotemu.bsky.social.

A rogue lite beat'em up that won't allow you to let go of the controller for at least a full day... You've been warned! ⚔️

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

I'd like to remind @playgalaxygame.bsky.social @parn3y.bsky.social that I've been playing Galaxy pretty much every day since the first seconds of its existence. If they don't contact @fromthevoid.net when they plan to do loc, I'll take it very personally.

New set is sweet btw. Pun intended!

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

Handmaid's Tale didn't butcher its final season quite as bad as Game of Thrones, but Jesus Christ not by that much.

The year is 2025 & I'm listening to a 4-hour video response to a disgraced youtuber's video follow-up to his own older video response to a fraud controversy that happened 2 years ago.

The content is contenting.
