I have reached new levels of tired.

Oh my fucking goooooooooooddddddd. My entire academic world is about to be how games need more adult intimacy in them, not less, you absolute garbage fire human beings.

There isn't even a stipulation on a universal criteria. This is LITERALLY CENSORSHIP. FUCK OFF.

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

It's pride in self-worth, in achievement, in knowing that you were the source. Your mind. Your hands. Your skill. And it's not egotistical. It's not 'yeah I'm fantastic this is great'.

It's gratitude. Gratitude that you did it right. Gratitude.

And Gen-AI exists in the absence of gratitude.

It's got nothing to do with efficiency, or speed, or rapidity, or even capital. It's got everything to do with looking at something you have made and *seeing* the effect it has on another. Knowing that you did that. YOU did. Not a prompt or a machine or an auto-writing script.

This is actually something significant I see between the pro and anti gen-AI crowd, and that's *gratitude* in the outcome. Pride in your role in the outcome. The knowledge that you did that, you made them feel that, and you are grateful that they gave this experience back to you.

there have always been people who like to write, and people who like to say they have written, and the latter really love the idea of AI and the former can not understand why you'd let a computer do the fun part.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 2d

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

The biggest takeaway from the pitching yesterday is that some publishers are *surprisingly* comfortable with smut.

My friend is struggling to keep his housing atm, and if anyone could spare a few bucks both of us would be super grateful, thank you

After 11 months of unemployment I finally got a job, but my pay is reduced for the first few and I currently cannot afford bills because of that. Anything would help while I struggle my way through capitalism. My apartment is at risk due to timing.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections
