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.

Just once I’d like an athlete to say “hail Satan” at the beginning of a post game interview, is that too much to ask

Good morning! It’s the first Bandcamp Friday since the release of the Do No Harm EP, so if you buy a copy today, Bandcamp will waive their share of the revenue!

Make sure to check out the pages of other artists you like today too <3

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

It's here! Our Life: Now & Forever has gotten a significant update to its free demo. More childhood wonder and teenage angst await 😄.

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

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

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.

The union is calling on people to boycott btw!!
BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Happy Asexual Awareness Week! From those repulsed to favourable, whether we make raunchy jokes or not, whether we create horny art or not, kinky or not, single or not, arospec or not, we're all queer, we're all valuable, we all deserve respect and acceptance.
