Got a commission of Pixie done by @madyaxx.bsky.social

She did an amazing job with it!

Really have just spent the last hour and a half smitten with it!

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.

They're AI-generating the music here.

Fuck that.
The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked.

Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight?

Also go support Nakufin.
I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

Only those that gave themselves so hard to the idea this is the future are going to find it hard to pull away.

Because not only will you have technical debt to overcome, you’ll also have public distrust to overcome if you choose to authentically produce anything.

Deleting it is faster.
One of the reasons I've never bought into AI doomerism, is that to believe "it's here to stay, get used to it!" you have to buy into the idea that AI generated elements are so hardcoded or integral as to be permanent, when they really aren't.

You can simply remove it, and it's gone just like that.

It seems irresponsible to spend 5 paragraphs and a headline talking about the game without saying this is not developed by Grasshopper Manufacture.

Been thinking a lot about how amazingly powerful this moment is in a game with so little story cutscene staging. Making brilliant use of breaking a franchise tradition, the way it uses an iconic tune, etc. Just chills at the time youtu.be/bdTdUoSCfS4?...

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR.

Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

I really want to thank @food4dogs.bsky.social for letting me work on closed captions for this video from earlier in the year.

I've had a passing interest in Shin Megami Tensei games but have ventured very little into them, and now I feel really encouraged to dive into them soon.

Oh, yeah, NPC writing is the best. You can do worldbuilding, add a gameplay tip, or just invent a memorable weirdo. Or a whole city of weirdos. It's great.

I have given Chvrches a kangaroo. I do not know why they are in “Australia” raising kangaroos.

Australia is as much Australia as America was America, which is not really. Mexico was a nice little jog, apparently.

Love these games, but they don’t really do notable landmarks at all.
