hey! if I send you an invoice, shut the fuck up. do not mention NSFW stuff or even the word "furry" or anything, Paypal is company of dickbags searching for any excuse to harass creators. using invoices is the smartest/best/safest way of working as a comm artist, and this is explicit targeting
Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

This is one of the last workspaces still functioning in all of Gaza, and it’s in the north where the IOF is focusing its ground invasion. And the kids are still coming for their exams, and the team is still helping them—to ground their community in the land and resist ethnic cleansing. Join in.

The funny thing about this demo to me is it's text to speech on normal AI. He interrupts the answer to his question which contains first steps so when he repeatedly asks for what he should do first, the model gets confused and panics. Which is exactly how normal people would use this 10/10 no notes.

I feel like a lot of people dislike change specifically because they know that on the Old Version, they are the only expert and if your team moves to a New Version, that means they can't be the expert anymore
Which means they can't control who does and doesnt have access, need help, etc.

apropos of co-op gaming: this topic is why I stand firm on saying if you call co-op games that aren't competitive 'friendslop', you can just skip the foreplay and say you don't have any friends that want to game with you.
*leans in* a big reason why I'm asking rude as I am about gamer "expectations" is 100% broken down in this thread.
We aren't all built to be eSports players and that's very OK!

I truly feel that the increased exposure of talented streamers and esports pros playing online has warped the avg player's mind on what PvP games are all about. Too many people are obsessed with being the best in the world, and some have been chased away from otherwise great games because of that.
