It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Coincidentally I just saw a clip of the time Roddy Piper was on his show and the fact that Roddy Piper is dead and Bill Maher is not feels profoundly unfair

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

I'd like to share this old video of hers, where she talks about her time working on the 3DO port of Doom.
it's a wild story that stuck with me, and a reminder that sometimes "bad games" have amazing people working on them

Sorry for being a broken record but we're never gonna Fix Video Games while all our CEOs are credulous dopes that don't know where video games come from or how they're made.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Genuinely tho you're going to find your "next site that truly carries on the spirit of DA and is For Artists" in your own little groups and doujin events scattered across the net, like it used to be pre-Deviantart. You kinda have to carve out your own little slice for what you wanna do creatively.

if you have the means to contribute to rebecca heineman's end of life care i recommend doing so ( www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec... ), but also this is important too. im happy to have lived at the same time as her. i hope we can give some thought to, her legacy, and what we want ours to be.
it sucks, real bad, right there with you
best thing i think we can all do is just, honor and treasure her memory and inspiration, keep pushing for a more equitable society for trans people esp in the games space

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.
