Their mascot is AI and they try to harvest banking information from users for scam purposes. It's blocked for me by a blocklist I subscribe to so this is the first I've seen of them.

They seem to be targeting Vtubers so please keep an eye out.

I spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs easier, even if it's just used in "very early ideation stages."

Zero said "yes." Most said it made their job harder.

I learnt a lot about concept artists. You should too!

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder

“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

my favorite part about these bubbles is everyone knows it's a bubble, but the people blowing it are making sure once it pops as many people get hurt as possible, and in the end it'll be the people responsible for this getting bailed out at our expense. again.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

Sour🖤

@itsjustsour.bsky.social

I need help. I am doing all I can to figure out income avenues & make sure I can keep my family housed and safe. To do this, I need a vehicle. But I can't afford a vehicle w/o more income. I'm in a catch-22. Please share!

#MutualAid #HelpSky #help #DisabledMutualAid #HelpFolksLive2025 #MABoost

A picture of Sour with p*ypal and ca$happ information - both are soursuite. A QR code leading to their gofund me. And a balance update of $135 out of the $2500 goal.

Hi! I am Elizabeth (Also known as Sour or Zedd). I am one of many weirdos who lives on the other side of your screen.

I have been without full-time work since 2021 and now without a regular paycheck since May of this year. I am a full-time caretaker for my mom and am disabled myself. After my ex took the vehicle in our separation, I was blessed last year with a vehicle from a friend. We knew the vehicle was temporary, but we had hope in being able to keep it going until I once again was working well enough to purchase something. We spent over $1000 on the vehicle (a 2003 Honda Pilot) over the last year.

Recently, I noticed one of the belts on the vehicle was fraying, and we took it in. When we heard back last week what was wrong with it, I was to be honest, devastated. It needed not only the belts to be replaced, but substantial work. And that just for it to be safely driven, it was going to be a minimum of 3 times the value of the vehicle. We just do not have the money for such repairs.

As both my mom and I are medically complex, along with multiple senior animals, having a working vehicle is a necessity. We live in the suburbs and I cannot walk the distance to the nearest pharmacy, let alone to a doctor's or vet's office.

I am very fortunate to have the community I have that has supported me as much as they can, through rides and even borrowing vehicles. This is not sustainable or safe with several of the medical issues we have. I have an amazing person in my circle who is able to help somewhat with obtaining a vehicle, but they cannot just buy me one outright (nor would I want them to). We spoke and decided that trying to crowdfund the rest of the cost of a vehicle would be best.

I am not looking for anything fancy. My goal is to find something as inexpensive as possible with a reasonable price range of 2-3k. I need something that is safe and will get us from point A to point B.

If you can help with that in any way, at any amount, it would be incredibly appreciated. I cannot express how much I wish I did not need to ask for help, at all, but especially not again. I know everyone is struggling right now, and I want to be helping my community, not leaning on it.

If you cannot help financially, just sharing this will help. More eyes mean more chances for help. With a final goal of $2500 from here, my hope is we can get a vehicle that meets our needs, is safe, and will not need major repairs for at least the first year. This will allow me more opportunities for income and to save money.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!
