iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I’m very excited to be doing Session 0 for the first table I’m starting as a Therapeutic GM for youth on the autism spectrum. I’ve been a substitute GM a couple times but this table I’m leading from scratch! Big shout out to @lawsonphoenix.bsky.social for creating the setting we’re using!

I am thrilled and proud beyond measure to support the amazing workers who create and design the games I and my loved ones have spent a lifetime playing. I implore everybody to sign the petition and signal boost the campaign as far and wide as we can!

A statement from our union president on the amazing turnout of support for the Game Industry Hardship Fund itch.io bundle 🙏 👇 The bundle is live for 10 more days to support devs in need, but a long-term difference can be made by joining UVW-CWA directly. ✊ uvw-cwa.org itch.io/b/3802/game-...

A message from United Videogame Workers, a Code-CWA Union, part 1: A statement from Aurelia Augusta - President, UVW-CWA Local 9433:

The response to the Hardship Fund has been so awe-inspiring and so great that it's honestly made it difficult to write a statement because every time I look away, the total amount raised by the itch bundle leaps forward yet again and I find a few more tears of joy on my face.

A message from United Videogame Workers, a Code-CWA Union, part 2: As I'm writing this, we've just passed $97,000 that will go directly into the pockets of struggling game workers, raised at a truly incredible speed, in addition to the $25K already dispersed by UVW-CWA.

I want to start with a massive thanks to players who have bought the bundle, signal-boosted it, or otherwise supported this effort.

A message from United Videogame Workers, a Code-CWA Union, part 3: To our allies in the labour movement who have supported this effort, everyone in UVW-CWA continues to be awed by and thankful for your solidarity and ever proud to be standing up to fight for workers alongside you.

And to all game workers, I want to highlight that this is just small example of what's possible when we stand together as workers. Together in solidarity, we can make sure that this is far from just a one-off reprieve.

A message from United Videogame Workers, a Code-CWA Union, part 4: We can make an industry where workers don't have to choose between fighting for their rights and paying their bills.

It will take time, it will take winning the many fights to come, but I adamantly believe that one day we can make an industry and a world where we won't need a hardship fund.

Join us today in that fight at uvw-cwa.org.

In Solidarity,
Aurelia Augusta - President,
UVW-CWA Local 9433

There are only two choices on the table for the game worker right now: give up or get organized. And giving up repeatedly has only led us to this absolute shitshow, so let's take a look at what organizing really means (uvw-cwa.org, btw)

The forces that strip you of your dignity, of your free time, and of your hope for the future rely on you remaining disorganized, scared, and scattered. They will call you lazy, undeserving, and small. None of these things are true when we come together to build power and challenge them.

Everything in games is actually much smaller than in real life. Things look normal sized but it's a clever illusion. Like if you see a normal looking horse in a game, inside the computer it's actually a very tiny horse, but because everything else around it is also very tiny, the illusion works

June is almost over. I haven’t been out for that long now, and I’m trying to be proud. I’ve always been agender and on the asexual spectrum, but I grew up in a hostile world that denied those things exist, It still feels weird not just constantly wearing a mask and do what’s “expected” of me.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate.

Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future):

At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1)

Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5)

Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3).

Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed.

If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.
