Especially early access games going 1.0 if they didn't already blow up enough to afford a big budget marketing campaign.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

imagine the money games could make if they were more inclusive of 48% of their potential base. sorry to bang on kpop demon hunters and love and deepspace drum again but they’re eating everyone’s lunch because few others were investing that level of production in feminine audiences

Just under half of gamers worldwide are women, according to a new report published by the Entertainment Software Association

It cannot be stressed enough that the majority of right wingers that engage in culture war nonsense are people who have PsyOp'd themselves into seeing "pattern recognition" everywhere in the same way that biblical numerologists have a heart attack every time they see the number 666 somewhere.

idk when i will internalize the valuable lessons of "it is okay to be upset after a traumatic event happens and you cannot just work through it actually" and "it is important to do creative intake in order to maintain creative outputs" but god i hope it's soon.

Much like Amphoreus in HSR spent 10 months stressing the validity and humanity of it's characters and how it's about the way interaction with narratives/personal mythos shapes and influences people. Yet for a lot of folks they just hard disconnect and turn their brain off. lol

Remember when Ubisoft cancelled Rainbow Six Patriot because the bad guys where white supremacists? Only to immediately pivot to "the bad guys in Siege have no ideology, no motive and no mercy" instead? They decided those bad guys were actually their audience.

If you think a game about going after the KKK would be controversial due to the current political climate, it's a good sign you should make a game about going after the KKK.

You can lock up as many people as you want for chanting or protesting against genocide.

You will never scrub away the truth about that genocide - or your own complicity in it.

You are just ensuring that you will be damned all the more for what you have done.

Government could crack down on pro-Palestinian protest chants, PM says

The government needs to

Yep. He’s a Nazi.

Mr. President, thank you so much for having us here today and holding this roundtable. Antifa is real. Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany. And it's now been just under one month since we saw a far leftist murder Charlie Kirk. And we saw thousands upon thousands of people, other far leftists and people in positions of authority, people like nurses and pilots and doctors and HR departments celebrating the death and the murder of Charlie Kirk. The sickness that's out there is absolutely real. And Mr. President, thank you for mentioning it.
