ok. it's def time to take the use of "degenerate" in a joking manner out back.
there's other, more fun words to use than that anyways, so it's not that big of a deal but I wanna at least be far more deliberate about it now.

Y'all gonna start acknowledging the parallels yet?
Y'all gonna start defending art, intimacy, and sex as basic human expressions?
Y'all gonna start realizing that these deranged puritans don't have an ounce of goodwill in their bodies and literally just want to control every aspect of our lives?

If you saw their presentation and were interested in that iisu emulation thing, you should probably just forget about it lmao
They nuked the chats but I was able to save some screenshots of some of the other pretty terrible things in there.

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.
Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

Creatives can make stuff however they like, but for me, games and films using GenAI is identical to finding an insect in my meal -- it immediately kills my appetite for a great dish, I don't really care how it got there, and it's effortless to eat somewhere else.

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

Donald Trump has instructed the entire FBI to prioritize finding ways to bring charges against anti-fascists and other activists. Any FBI agent who wants to advance his career now has an incentive to set up naïve kids for an entrapment case.
Please read about entrapment and how to protect yourself.

this is maybe one of the most insidious modes of AI use and apologia, because whether you comprehend it or not, you are driving your work toward genericism, to become a complete parody of itself. if an LLM is helping you explore ideas, it's just feeding the genre back to you.

Do NOT talk to the media about trans ANYTHING unless your interviewer is ALSO trans and independent. No, you will not be the magic exception that gets transphobes to listen. They are genocidal predators and they will always engage in bad faith.

Seeing people in the comments saying that To a T was unfun and essentially that he deserves this if he can't make a good game.
Gamers, I don't know how else to say this, artists are not supposed to be punished with financial ruin for making imperfect art. That's such a fucked up idea you have

Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.
He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.
