Hello @limitedrungames.com it has come to my attention that you've used mGBA in the release of Sigma Star Saga DX in an unlicensed capacity. Please rectify this immediately.

in a similar vein: it's so baffling to me that xbox game pass's cheapest tier is more than twice the yearly cost of nso's most expensive tier

Birdo is trans and should be recognized as a woman.

But no, "Birdo" is not her deadname despite the old SMB2 manual.

Birdo refers to herself by the name "Birdo" many times. In Japanese that same profile says "Her name is Catherine, but she'd rather be called Cathy."

Clearly a nickname in context.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines.

Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Coloured sketch of Birdo, a pink feminine dinosaur from the Mario video game series, reclining on a lavender cushion while looking at the viewer. She's wearing a large red bow, a light lavender stole, white pearls, and a diamond ring on her left hand, which is pressed to her cheek. The image is captioned "Happy Trans Day of Visibility" in cursive writing, underlined with streaks of the trans pride colours.

wanted to draw a quick #birdo for trans day of visibility before the day was done, so here she is! very visible indeed

I AM HOLDING A LOVELY TRANS FLAG AND DECLARING THUS: HOORAY FOR MY NICE TRANS FRIENDS!!

Same frame of the Mario Super Show intro as the original post, with weirdly proportioned Mario, Luigi, Toad and the Princess on a flying carpet, but without upscaling and at much lower fidelity

Original quality for comparison, the upscaler didn't introduce the weird proportions, it just smoothed everything out badly

hello 👋 i have developed a new tool called blüuümpíi. blüuümpíi will convert every file on your hard drive to a .wav file without asking you, maximize your system volume, and play them on every bluetooth speaker you have ever connected to. if you offer feedback on blüuümpíi i will take legal action

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Harry Potter tattoo regret rate is an order of magnitude higher than regret for Gender Reassignment Surgery and yet no one has been brave enough to suggest we legislate Harry Potter tattoos.

if you “There’s No Ethical Consumption Under Capitalism” the new HP thing I’m throwing rocks at you until you stop talking

how the heck did you pull off the eyes and lashes like that??

We have to be more casually vocal about hating Harry Potter. I don't know if most people know what's going on

Casually going "Ugh, you know jk Rowling is like, a crazy far right bigot now right? Yeah, she went off the deep end" has gotten a lot of people to look into this in my experience

Fuck Harry Potter just read discworld. It's a fantastical world of magical creatures and adventure but the author has class consciousness and knows how to write comedy that isn't just making fun of how fat a character is

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

just know that if you engage with harry potter in any form i'm judging you

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal:

If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people.

That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

An iconic UK bookstore is offering visitors the opportunity to vandalize Harry Potter books for 25 pence. @thebookishtype.bsky.social, the trans-owned bookstore in Leeds running the promotion, will donate all proceeds to gender-affirming healthcare costs. Go support them!

Papa's Pokopia

to add on this: for all its faults i think the VB is overall a pretty nifty little system with some great games, and it deserves more credit than it gets. im super glad that nintendo has brought it back

i have nothing positive to say about the metaverse

the virtual boy was a bigger success than the metaverse

A Steam AI Generated Content Disclosure The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: AI-generated voiceovers for ingame characters. This is a indie no-budget production. Sorry :-'(

I'm so sick of seeing AI disclaimers like this.

The solution to not having the budget for voice acting isn't to use AI, it's to not have voice acting at all!

Games don't need VO to be good!

By jamming in slopvoices, you're not making your game better, you're making it worse and reprehensible!

Greta Thunberg went "we need to save the climate" then thought about it for a few years and went "climate change is caused by capitalism, and to fight climate change effectively you need to dismantle capitalism" and some people need to make the same mental journey she did

There’s a lot I could say, but what I will say is that my PhD is built off the analysis of games that have long been dismissed as “unworthy” of analysis because of their simplicity & perceived “childishness”. This can then also shape discussions of who gets included when we talk about “players”

the overton window has shifted so far right that i'm seeing 20-year-olds with pronouns in their bio say that we should bring back using "gay" as an insult. we need woke 2 pronto

We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' One game developer told Kotaku that after seeing DLSS 5, 'it feels like there is no future for me' in the video game industry

We spoke to multiple game devs and all of them hate DLSS 5: "What the fuck, Nvidia?!"

One person currently attending college and studying game development, told Kotaku that after seeing DLSS 5, "it feels like there is no future for me."

Graduating high school before ChatGPT is like having a brain made of recovered steel from warships old enough to not have been weakened by atomic bomb isotopes.

Various Doodles of Birdo, text reads:”This is as far as you go!”

Reminded me I can also post Birdo
