The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

My brain still breaks at some of the behaviors I see customers exhibiting towards workers in B&M retail. A grown ass man, illegally parked outside, has the gall to say, "My birthday was in July and your store missed it. Since it's my first time here I should have this for free. You owe me."

completely true and it's a huge reason why many people do not want UBI, bc they will not be able to as easily control entertainment any longer. nearly every art scene and entertainment vector (tv, video games, etc) is completely shaped by the wishes of labor aristocrats and bourgeoisie

My counterpoint to "if you cared about your work, you would crunch" is if you cared about the quality of your game and your workers, you would give them appropriate time to craft it.

When translators say they hate doing MTPE because it's faster to just do it from scratch and results in better material, we're not exaggerating. If I was a proofreader and a translator handed me this, I would immediately tell the PM to fire them. No translation is genuinely better than an MT in loc.

Setting: Heaven. Crane game machine, "Souls" marquee, filled with orbs, operated by an angel, many retrieved orbs at their feet. Angel gazes upward at a large hand pointing down, sternly. Behind the angel is a devil, queued, disgruntled, arms crossed. Caption: "Let your brother have a turn already."

So the people launching a new Twitter under the name Twitter launched their thing so I signed up. Turns out they have an AI scanning tweets for "truth" and it currently has no idea what it's doing. Posted something innocuous about Star Wars Zero Company and it essentially blocked it from all feeds.

did bluesky hear about Miss Teen Indiana’s Garfield costume

A young woman in a Garfield inspired outfit with a Garfield headdress

The young woman from the first photo is holding a lasagna that says “lasagna my love language”

missinteenusa Tonight, Indiana is going Garfield!
My state costume celebrates one of Indiana's most iconic creations-Garfield, created by fellow Hoosier Jim Davis.
Born in Marion and raised in Fairmount, Davis turned an orange cat with a big personality into a character recognized and loved around the world.
But this costume represents more than a famous Hoosier.
The hand-painted comic panels on my skirt share messages inspired by my initiative, Captivating Confidence:
"Our differences are what make us beautiful."
"If we don't have love, we have nothing."
"Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates."
To me, true confidence is found in embracing what makes each of us different and recognizing that our greatest beauty comes from within. I am so excited to bring a little Hoosier humor, creativity and confidence to the Miss Teen USA stage tonight!
This one-of-a-kind costume was inspired by my vision and brought to life by Indianapolis-based costume designer, Jess West. @jesswestcostumes

Was just typing a post about how there are more and better games than ever before, and more demand for them than ever, while games journalism is being actively gutted before our eyes and development being made harder and harder to make a living in. This is happening across all media industries.

Realizing the anticipated size for press coverage of GTA6 release week and how it will be of monumental proportion, it unfortunately also provides cover for every game company, including Rockstar, to escape the SEO and announce worker layoffs and project cancellations at a scale never before seen.
