One thing you all can do to support Santa Ragione is to buy and review their latest game SATURNALIA, honestly one of the most interesting and unique takes on the survival horror genre.

Ollang's site is some of the worst AI buzzword soup I've seen in a while.
"Agentic AI workflows!"
"AI-first platform!"
"AI-powered accessibility!"
Humans in the loop? "Optional!"
That's "Localization reimagined for the modern enterprise!"
Sure is great to see Crunchyroll using something like this!

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

all this person needed to do was find a band. that's it.
you have any idea how RARE singers are?? even if you're bad, guarantee there's a dozen bands in the area that'd take you
but this person didn't want to make music. they wanted to *be considered a musician*

All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!
BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

Santa Ragione, the studio behind horror title Saturnalia, has claimed that its upcoming game Horses has been banned from Steam without clear reason.
The studio says it has nothing to do with the recent adult content restrictions, but says Steam has denied clarifications and appeals for two years.

CJEU rules that an EU member state refusing to recognize a same-sex marriage performed in another violates freedom of movement/residence and the right to family and private life. Massive win.
BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.
🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
