Profile pic is a screenshot from the game Honkai Impact 3rd. I don't skeet a lot, but happy to be here! I also block most followers because, again, I don't skeet much, so why're randos here? [they/them]

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

On the positive side of podcasts, Pocket Casts had a year end summary and @finishitpod.bsky.social was my most listened-to show! Started listening in 2024 and finally caught up this year!

Wish I didn't know how someone could tell the story of cutsleeves and say "the passion of the cut sleeve" and never /once/ mention that it's about gay lovers and the phrase is an idiom for gay love.
Unfortunately, I listened to this week's Lateral, and now I do. Disappointing.

This might be only a demo, but it has a massive script of 256,000 words (the version before was 161,000 words).

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.
If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.
