DOGE was A LOT less likely to cancel contracts from companies that donated money to Republicans than companies that donated to Democrats.

It is exactly the same thing. What killed WoW was...no MMO. It was something new. It was MOBAs like LoL and games like PUBG and Fortnite. Games with no "end game."
Most people, when they stop playing D&D, they go do something completely unrelated to RPGs.

"people can still download your art from bsky and feed it into AI" if gamer behavior has taught me anything, just one extra button press is more than enough to annoy a MASSIVE amount of people into not making the effort

Save an artist (or yourself) this holiday and encourage them to leave the bad place.
Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

Twitter could roll out the "shoot you in the face" feature that shoots you in the face and youd still have people showing up here, making the "ooouuuh, i forgot to post here xD im back nowww" posts before going right back after a week to get shot in the face.

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

This thread serves as a really good example of what I was talking about before, trying to figure out what's true and what's not. Akiva introduces a third category of source I'd sort of elided over, namely, the troll. The person who makes a knowingly false claim, as opposed to someone who is deluded.
"Some girl with a funny name" is the most important detail in this from the standpoint of assessing credibility
That's obviously Ghislaine Maxwell and also obviously not the way anyone making a wholly false report would refer to Maxwell

“He raped me.”
“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”
“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”
Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

It's very easy:
Just don't. The idea that Copilot or ChatGPT are suddenly essential tools is just buying into the corporate ad blitz.
Games were made just fine (well, relatively) up through...what, 2023? 2024? They didn't suddenly become VITAL for budgets or design docs in the last 2-3 years.

My ‘I don’t listen to the guy who made the worst Doom 2 levels’ policy is very specific, and you wouldn’t think it would come up much, but Sandy Petersen does talk a lot of shit so…
“Literally funded by EU tax dollars”.
No "dollars" involved, and the EU pre-production arts grant was under 5% of Dustborn’s total budget.
Watching an "industry professional" (ex-iD, Chaosium, Microprose) recycle culture-war rage bait is pretty bleak. This is how disinformation spreads.
