Carney announces the crude oil pipeline to the West Coast, which will almost certainly drive the orcas there to extinction, is designated in the “national interest.” That means it can bulldoze past environmental laws, impact assessments and Indigenous consultation. He laughs while announcing it.

I am definitely not allowed to talk about specifics of the legal business around the Diamond bankruptcy, but can I just say damn everyone who saw this as an opportunity to squeeze money out of Paizo to hell for what they've done to upend the lives of my friends.

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

3 hours on the clock. How long are we going for? What silly stuff will happen? It's up to you.
Nonbinary Twitch streamer FaunAndGames, a tan skin femme perceived person with orange, and purple hair, is wearing gaming headphones with antlers on them.  Around them are Twitch stream decorations and a ton of nerdy video game and Pokemon memorabilia.

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

Love to "make Canada strong" by investing in the technology that will devastate Canadian ecology, steal from Canadian labour, take up Canadian work opportunities, and undermine the cognition skills of the upcoming Canadian workforce 🙄

You got what you wanted! You are living your normal lives, as demanded, free of legal or social responsibility toward disabled people who are still at high risk. Now you’re going to laugh at us trying to find ways to keep going? That’s not just discrimination, that’s dehumanization.

Designers love systems for their flexibility and robustness. Players love *games* for the fantasies they inspire and support. Players might develop opinions of a system as they grow familiar with it or find that it doesn't align with their gameplay tastes, but fantasy comes first!

Why do y'all hate your art so much. Apologizing for "messy sketches" that are full blown paintings. Refusing to reblog your work. Holding back WIPs because they're not pretty perfect portfolio pieces. Never a nice thing to say about your art. You might say you hate AI, but do you love your art???
