Why in the hell does the twitch app give me a notification to request an unban? Like if I wanted to be unbanned I think I should be entirely able to figure out how to send that request, soliciting it is a terrible idea Especially when it's a channel that banned me for calling out transphobia lmao

RiPpEr253 @ripper253.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

To be clear, the game itself doesn't seem to have anything in it (yet), but they are funding community members who are blowing it all on vibe coded AWS stuff, it's wild to see

000

RiPpEr253 @ripper253.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Man, the last good interaction I've had with any game developer professionally is that EA used to send rejection letters for foundation team instead of ghosting people like everyone else does What a fucking low bar

010

RiPpEr253 @ripper253.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I already had a lot of "oh, that's weird"s about Wardogs, between the CEO saying shit like this, the funding of vibecoded slop and just in general being reallyweird with all the other stuff like anti-cheats, linux, helicopter controls, wipes Just, damn shame, game looked like it could've been fun

RiPpEr253 @ripper253.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Considering at least some Valve higher ups invest in AI, can we double dip on the blame a little with them?

I do think it’s interesting to see games that actually use LLMs and other technologies to provide gaming experiences that wouldn’t otherwise be really possible, like there’s a game there where you teach an LLM how to drive by talking to it while stuck in the passenger seat Too bad it’s slop still

as for "I'm transphobic apparently", I'm not sure where you're coming from with that, If you've never personally screamed at nor physically shoved or pulled an attendee (when reported got an "idw hear about it"), nor inferred that "trans women can't take a joke", then you're not part of the problem

000

RiPpEr253 @ripper253.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

If you personally haven't had any run ins with it yourself, honestly, I'm happy for you, it's happened several times before and there are receipts We all need to do better and when any criticism or feedback is met with being completely shut down and dismissed, how can any of us do better?

RiPpEr253 @ripper253.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

I and many others voiced our concerns and were told to "be nice" and "get off our soap box", I'm not sure what going to con-ops directly would've done besides drag someone who didn't make the decisions into it as well FurDU staff have been transphobic on the record and ableist, it is a problem

I am practising zero tolerance for this shit. If they use genAI for any part of development, then I don't know how I'm supposed to trust that they aren't using it elsewhere. They keep only being sorry when they get caught, they keep pleading for special exemptions. Just. Don't. Use. It.

FurDU tickets go up on the 4th, and oh boy do I implore you to reconsider and go to a different con if you’re on the fence about it Support cons who think trans people and women deserve a voice Support cons who don’t have drunken “oopsie” moments Support cons who don’t insult attendees or dealers
