I do Gunpla and Model kits, play MMOs, TTRPGs and paint minis. I'm big into anime, movies, music, books, art, sewing, crafting, etc.
Please no offers to make AI art for me- I prefer human works.

This is not hyperbole. The same guy who created gay conversion therapy also created ABA.
THEY ARE THE SAME THING, BULLYING KIDS INTO BEING SOMEONE THEY ARE NOT FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S COMFORT.

ABA is conversion therapy, full stop
ABA is NOT the 'gold standard of autism care.' The lack of autistic staffers is showing here and with so many devastating Medicaid cuts to programs that serve children, focusing on a controversial one targeting autistics in this political climate is a loaded choice.

I'd be surprised that they didn't check this, but apparently they also NEVER looked into "Is Bill Clinton actually afraid of this?" so... 🤷♂️
So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

TikTok is removing clips of the leaked 60 Minutes segment.
The Ellison family (which acquired Paramount — CBS’s parent company — and The Free Press, making Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS) is set to co-own TikTok through a Trump-backed deal.

My discount ended last night, but plenty of stuff is still available in my shop! I recommend picking up something if you want it before January, when I will be increasing most of my prices.

So everyone's watching the 60 Minutes that was supposed to be banned and everyone who knows how PDFs work can unredact the Epstein files, it's like the Christmas spirit has irony poisoning this year

tl;dr: GenAI and game design concepts traditionally referred to as "AI" (enemy behaviors, pathfinding, etc.) are not the same thing, and I'm on my knees begging people to learn the difference, lest we see more bullshit claims like what The Escapist put out re: Blue Prince.
Weird weekend, huh? Took a crack at breaking down the whole Clair Obscur genAI situation, and its bizarre fallout, as best as possible. My main takeaway right now is that people really need to figure out exactly what they're criticizing or it's going to get messy. www.polygon.com/clair-obscur...
The debate over gen AI in games is about to get a lot messier in 2026

I've posted my 'Terok Nor' art here before, but I wanted to port across the thread I wrote on Twitter for it, as it is perhaps still the best - and certainly the most elaborate - Star Trek work I've done to date. 🧵

Yes. The fascist politicians and billionaires who are currently ruining the country are massively mediocre thinkers and monumentally uncreative chumps. They have the advantage of a total lack of morals and a willingness to commit any crime imaginable. But they're losers and they will lose.
they are not brilliant.
the billionaires and institutions in this country are just more craven than we could have ever imagined, even in our most cynical imaginings.
(don't tell me you could imagine. I won't give you a medal.)
