Y'all are part of such a small club of major anti-AI TTRPG companies, and you pull this? Ough.... c'mon! It's not as embarrassing as using genAI, but, it's in the same realm of poor ethics. Please do better!
🎂 SURPRISE BIRTHDAY STREAM! 🥳
I'm back with a little stream to tie off what has been long (and wonderful) birthday!
Tonight I'll be playing the "Dark Urge" plotline in Baldur's Gate 3 for the first time, & I might even swap to Minecraft or Neopets: TDF later on.

"Firefox is not becoming an AI browser" but your CEO said "It will evolve into a modern AI browser". The direction is not clear to me
Hi!! I'm a big fan of this book series, & I really appreciate knowing that real artists are at work for some of the books.
I've been looking for ways to contact the author(s), though. I've discovered genAI used in 1 of the books, & would love to have a conversation with the authors about that.
Watercolor painting of a feathered dragon with a glowing red hard held suspended between its two front claws. It has feathered wings that curve forward, lit up by the glow of the heart. Text in lower left reads kamakru.com. Artist signature in lower right Katie Croonenberghs 2021
Where do these feelings come from
Fragile and soft like butterfly wings
A surrounding warmth in the cool night air
That whispers of bigger things

apparently this post was temporarily marked as “intolerant” lol
the way I described it on stream is that Bluesky is a toxic partner and everyone is trying to argue why it’s all okay and how it will work out in the end or why you have to stay together because it’s all you got. but deep down? you know it’s not working, maybe it was never going to work
If you're in Illinois and facing criminal charges from protesting ICE, or if you were attacked by ICE or law enforcement supporting them, I might be able to represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
Bluesky was not advertising itself as “the place for a million PDS’s to flourish.” It wasn’t doing a Discord-style sell. It sold itself as being a Twitter alternative, de facto
Lord of Humours @blackgrailenjo... • 3h Uh huh. Screenshot of post: Jesse Singal @jessesingal.com 45m There are these WAFFLES places in Berlin that, in a nice touch, will write your name in chocolate sauce. This was a good effort! Lebanese (I think) staff working in Germany trying to understand an American guy's name. I love this world.

okay I don't use social media much anymore but like, what is going on with bsky? I've heard that they're banning trans people, banning NSFW art, & now one of the main developers is promoting the platform using genAI imagery? like... are we leaving? are we doing another Xodus? wth is going on
All The Things Trans People Said Were Gonna Happen Ended Up Happening
'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!'
You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:
The police are telling us that we need to disperse our peaceful protest of their AI, or else we (even as guests) will be removed from the convention and arrested.
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.
this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls.
we can beat them
phone numbers and a script:
i realize that the issue is bigger than itchio, but i am sorely disappointed in the way they've chosen to handle it.
This isn't just affecting games hosted on itchio...
Comics, books, zones, etc with these tags are also no longer searchable. This is going to impact indie scenes across the board if not challenged!

Pride Month isn't over yet for me, & neither is my fundraiser for @qweertygamers.org ! We've raised $150 so far, & I'll keep fundraising all summer long as part of my Summer of Pride 2025.
I'm live right now, swatching some makeup products from Half Magic! After that, who knows?
YouTube takes aim at mass-produced AI videos: Starting July 15, YouTube will update its Partner Program policies to limit ad revenue for AI-generated and repetitive videos
I was gonna go live tonight, but after updating OBS, it's no longer compatible with my PC! This is why I never updated OBS, yall, and you shouldn't either 😭
I have been in so much pain these past few days, I miss streaming! I haven't even gotten to play Big Gay 3 with Ulora :( Someone shift all my pain onto the 51 BBB voters plsssss
🖤 🤎 ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 💗

I'm back, and this time, I've brought a guest! I'll be playing some more Neopets: The Darkest Faerie tonight, & we're still fundraising for @qweertygamers.org all summer long. We've raised $20 so far, & there are some really fun incentives for those who donate as much as $1!!
It's SUCH a silly goofy experience and we gotta celebrate it for that.
I always end up making my self portraits blue no idea what that’s about
A bowl of some rustic looking mashed potatoes with bits of red potato peel dispersed throughout.
Look, I like a rustic, lumpy mashed potato with bits of potato peel in them, dangit! I'm sick of all these online chefs telling me how to make them better by putting them through a ricer and then a sieve so that my potatoes are smoother than baby food and can be eaten with a straw. GIVE. ME. LUMPS.
Resident Evil 5 is such a goofy fun game, but I never see anyone give a retrospective on it without constantly comparing it to RE4. I wish I could find a retrospective that judge RE5 on its own merits rather than as a successor to RE4. The game clearly tried to be different, not a replica of RE4. 😔
