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.

In Final Fantasy Tactics if a unit gains too much faith they leave your party to go find God. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had Beast Tongue and got a monster unit to maximum faith? Of course you haven't. No one has.

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

Always nice to see something from my wishlist sent my way via Curator Connect. Guess tonight I'll be poking around the very Suda51-inspired Mind Control: Bloody Renaissance.

Like Killer7 in RPG Maker, with real-time action shooting

I reckon this would probably be @maraganger.bsky.social's jam too.

Mind Control: Bloody Renaissance on Steam

A terror attack in Boston's tallest skyscraper. To kill the cult leader, the Outcast hijacks suicidal civilians. Their bodies—your weapons.

i think zeta's ED is maybe my favorite in all of gundam period (at least top 3)

like obviously Orphans no Namida and Red:Birthmark are fantastic but. that's such a massive gap between those and zeta.

this is bad lol takaichi is a member of the nippon kaigi, supports the revision of article 9, and much like her idol, Margaret Thatcher, has extremely regressive views of women's rights, among other things.
