Deux salles, deux ambiances : Ubisoft sort un dlc en grande pompes avec l'Arabie Saoudite derrière et des donneurs d'alerte ont contacté un journaliste pour révéler l'annulation d'un AC où l'on aurait incarné un ancien esclave noir face au KKK à cause du climat instable aux USA...

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 13h

It's now considered controversial to fight the KKK in a video game.

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 1d

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

Tim Worthington @outonbluesix.bsky.social · 1d

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.

Deux choses peuvent être vraies :
- On est dans une crise de régime institutionnel et politique grave et une solution purement institutionnelle n'est ni possible ni souhaitable
- C'est pas une bonne idée de juste laisser les institutions à la droite sans rien dire

Bigg @bpbigg.bsky.social · Jul 28

Today on the blog we have @touloutoumou.bsky.social's history of the Meet 'N' Fuck franchise from AAA3! It's really great work and I'm excited for you to read it!

www.bpgamesinc.com/the-meet-n-f...

Excerpt of linked essay. Text reads "A beautiful woman is sitting alone at a bar. You want to approach her. What would you say as your opening line?

“What does it feel like to be the most beautiful girl in this room?”
“Good evening miss. What’s such a pretty lady doing here?”
“Hey chick. How’s it going?”

This is the introduction of Meet and Fuck Leila, an adult Flash game released in 2008. It’s five minutes long and not very original. And according to its stats on Newgrounds, it has been played more than sixteen million times.

Back in the 2000s, there was Flash, the most popular platform for games and animations online. First developed by a small independent studio, bought by Macromedia and later acquired by Adobe, it changed the course of online entertainment during its two decades of lifetime. So, of course plenty of porn was made with it. It was not a niche genre; many Flash portals such as Newgrounds or Funny Games featured an adult section. And among those, the Meet ‘N’ Fuck (or MnF for short) games stand above the rest. In terms of view, Meet N’ Fuck: Ocean Cruise has more than twenty million views on Newgrounds alone. Meet N’ Fuck Detective RPG? Twenty-five million.

This alone indicates the popularity of the franchise, but it is only the tip of the iceberg. During the late 2000s and early 2010s, these games had an undeniable impact on the Flash pornography landscape, popularizing tropes we are still finding in adult games today. This is why I wanted to explore this series in the first place. I talked to adult game creators, researched Flash games of the era, and I’m ready to discuss what is exactly a Meet ‘n’ Fuck game. And it starts, as always, when a man meets a woman."

It goes the same with TV shows that tried to do that to "discuss" with dead people.
You don't discuss with them, you're talking with a weird copycat you put your own impressions in.

Many dead used like this would never live in our generation's world. They wouldn't have the same perspective...

Purple Sea @purplesea.bsky.social · 2d

I said it and I'll say it again until my last breath :

This is pure necromancer puppetry. It is disgusting to see a dead one, even MORE a relative being use as a muppet vomiting fake words.
Whatever if they could have been true or not. It's not THEIR words, they didn't said it in the video.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
