I've got an opportunity lined up that should keep me solvent once it starts, but it won't be until about mid-late January, and I'm essentially at the last of my savings now. The $4000 I'm asking for here (ko-fi.com/sjhdoesgames) should be enough to keep me covered until that time. (2/3)

kennie jd did a video about kwame kilpatrick and how she hates how much of a feckless, miserable scamming dirty bastard he is and i think that energy captures how i feel about eric adams, down to him attempting to play being attacked for being black as a cover for his feckless bullshit. (2/2)

you know, auntie maya of kill six billion demons can describe how i feel about this and about eric adams a lot better than if I just paraphrased her, so I'm just gonna drop this off here

like i know adams' antics are so brazen as to make you laugh, but he is a terrible person. (1/2)

Nurses show up in our darkest moments. 9/11. The pandemic. Every illness and emergency. Their worth is not negotiable. Fair pay, safe conditions, dignity now. NYC stands with nurses and demands good faith bargaining for justice and care for all.

And sometimes, wanting different & moving different means that instead of insisting that you're just shit at something or that your work is mediocre when someone compliments it, you shut your gob and take the compliment instead of deflecting it. (I am also in this picture.) (4/4)

Some of it was absolutely unresolved trauma and deep mental health struggles, but the most important thing about both of those things is that neither is your fault but they are your responsibility. Comes a time you have to be the one that both *wants* different and *moves* different. (3/4)

I also was once in community with someone who was endlessly, *endlessly* like this and they became extremely tiring & got banned. Extreme learned helplessness white queer type shit where they'd just flop over and say "no I can't do it/I'm forever shit/you're bullying me" at any correction. (2/4)
January 12, 2026 at 4:00 AM
This is a good thread, but I'll also add that this is why I semi-aggressively check people who respond to compliments about their creative endeavors by saying "no it's not actually that good". Rooted in very similar energy as Joe is describing here, just not as extreme as the given example. (1/4)
sometimes someone in my discord is is so self-hating, stating as fact such nasty shit, that they become hostile to any kindness at all. "i'm shit and if you say I'm not you're lying to me" type shit. you have to change your outlook before your helplessness becomes real in a way you don't expect

Yeah like I haven't *seen* anyone on here (today) be weird about this news, which is good (& a plus to me for curating my follows well lol) but I know there are people who are on this protocol who are ready to give him endless shit and just want an excuse. many of whom don't even live in this city

I admit I didn't know about the Willamsburg Bridge bump (I don't travel into that part of the city on bike) & I know a lot of people will go WELL THIS IS JUST PERFORMATIVE but the small stuff matters too. He can be held to task for bigger failures if or when he makes them, let's take the small Ws.

By definition a joke is something the other party can usually recognize is a haha funny goof or has otherwise consented to, the moment you make them think it's real and make them get anxious about it you're out of that territory

Smh. This is why April Fool's Day is no fun (3/3)

Like I know Bluesky has a reputation for people being humorless and all. I've seen it, look at people replying to Gail Simone.

But saying "i love to spread misinformation" when you know a lot of people will take it at face value is some dipshit behavior, no matter who you are or why (2/3)
January 11, 2026 at 4:21 PM
Not naming names because I'm not looking to dogpile people who shared it in good faith or the person who appears to be the OP, but essentially saying "it's jokes lol" about something that you shared that made people nervous about their account security for nothing is a dickhead move (1/3)
January 11, 2026 at 4:21 PM
so, yeah. they're all important.

anyway if you're at magfest & wanna see some cool shit that *is* respectful of the process & human element of making art, the rest of @munitygames.bsky.social is there w/ @arcadecommons.org showing off shootlanzer (5/5)

if you use the slop machine, the ethical concern of "you're using stolen work to generate crap" ties into the concern of sidestepping process/human element because you're then demonstrating you don't give a shit about compensating the efforts of others, or the environment b/c of waste, etc. (4/5)
January 11, 2026 at 12:03 AM
all of those parts are interlinked. even if you commission art for some sort of exchange (money, service trade, etc), it implies you give a shit about the work someone has to do to make the art and want to compensate them for the effort that the process takes (3/5)
January 11, 2026 at 12:03 AM
someone who is also opposed to ai said to me that they wanted mostly to focus on the ethical & environmental impacts b/c a lot of other arguments focus on parts that are present but less important like sidestepping the process, or the human element, & the thing is, there's no hierarchy there (2/5)
January 11, 2026 at 12:03 AM
happy new year, i've been sick the last couple of days so i stayed home from magfest and been sleeping in bed, but someone flipped my "it's time to talk about the artistic process because gen ai came up" trap card so I wanna share a nugget of wisdom with you. (1/5)

This statement is appreciated, Mayor Mamdani, but like many others in the comments below I firmly encourage your social media team to remain consistently committed to adding alt-text to images that are posted on this site. It will help boost the reach of your message and intent.

Hell yeah, we love to see a mayoral walk (positive)

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.
