We have a chance of removing the Online Safety Act!
Any UK residents, PLEASE take the time to fill out the whole form. If we want to remove ID verification on websites that actually don't need it, we need to take action NOW!
The Astro Bot game is such a damnation of the Sony corporation, as if they roast themselves. They show they can publish a great, Nintendo-style family experience, and also all these franchises they're tied to, and they do none of this since.
so just this week, Substack made this announcement, on top of promoting Andrew Tate's newsletter as their number 1 bestseller. they recently announced a polymarket partnership. and they've had a nazi problem for years. it's time to get off substack, folks.
I included the remaining members during the revisions😅
By my count, there are now over 50 House Democrats, along with two Senate Democrats, who have called for Trump to be impeached or removed via the 25th Amendment for his post on Iran.

what if we got a 100% blockrate on it. what if they designed an AI and we unanimously said "nope"
watercolor image of Sandshrew from Pokémon, and the painting's counterpart on the right from the original Japanese Pokémon Blue which later would be used for the international Red/Blue Versions of the Game Boy Game. The painting is done sticking to the pose of the original sprite, but mimicking artist Ken Sugimori's watercolor-style, and keeping the form of the Pokémon more closely to its official non-sprite art of the time.
Sandshrew. I like how the sprite has it just sitting around. This is probably my best sprite re-draw yet, I think.
‘Chikn Nuggit’ creator Kyra Kupetsky announces her departure from the show after BuzzFeed made a requirement to feed the show to AI.
“I am very anti-Al and cannot support this. Thus I am leaving to boycott this. I am so upset it's come to this and I cannot apologize enough for this happening.”
THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
Our latest.
Review: Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a remake built on disdain, not reverence, looking to fix a game that wasn’t broken, and ending up with little to show for itself.

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”
If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.
Since there has been a lot of "what are Americans even doing" talk on the timeline today, my gentle reminder that none of you better be posting the exact details of what you are doing on bluesky dot com, it is more important to safely do the work than prove to strangers that you are doing something!

In light of recent Ai related nonsense in the creative industry, I wanted to present some easy-to-digest facts about Generative Ai

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

I cannot make anybody stop playing games they have a lot of time and money sunk into.
But if I, of All people, with 500+ skins, who used to play this Daily, can uninstall Fortnite and the Epic Games store, you can do it too.
Apropos to a post I'm not going to quote: no, you are not fucking obliged to battle the fucking right on fucking social media, or go to where they are. Why make yourself miserable shouting at bots (who don't care) or trolls (who get off on your misery). Make your fucking social media enjoyable, FFS.
Our first Archetypes article is by game designer Gareth Damian Martin, examining how the architecture of Skies of Arcadia draws the player's gaze towards azure skies.

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.
They're AI-generating the music here.
Fuck that.
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season
The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.
Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.
