CLOSED, AND THE BILL HAS BEEN PAID.

Thank you all so, so much for your help. Now, if you'll excuse me... I have an insane queue to chip away at. ^^;

Full disclosure, this will take me quite a while to work through. You can check out my progress on Trello!

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.

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖

Hint. Fucking. Hint.
Harry Potter x Fortnite coming in Chapter 7

(In other words, Fortnite is adding a transphobic authors work into Fortnite)

i think it's fine that my concept art friends don't have jobs anymore because they're first on the chopping block for layoffs and executives are happy to offload that shit to midjourney and pinterest!!! the game's really fun though so it's fine!!!!

i think it's good actually that a videogame prominently featuring AI voice acting is finding success while my VA friends haven't found steady work in years and have their rates forcibly ground into dust over the few reliable gigs left

but hey the game is really fun right!!!!!!!

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

KOSA dropping duty of care is great but this article buries a very important lede:

A bill package will be introduced once the govt reopens that is a collection of multiple bad "child safety" bills, COPPA 2.0, the Sammy Act, and the App Store Accountability Act [age verification]

You may want to think twice about inviting me to your Halloween party, because I've got a little secret that gets real hard to keep in check when candy's involved... Khehehe~!

I thought I'd be just fine, going out into the woods alone at night... Until I was jumped by a bear. Luckily for me, I only got a little nip. Unluckily, that was enough to trigger an incredible change... Now, this bear's craving lots of honey! 🐻

Bluesky has NO ALGORITHM.
Likes are PRIVATE by default.
If you enjoy someone's content, you've GOT to get used to circulating it.
The point of social media is to be SOCIAL.
It's literally just a 2nd button press; please help artists out by hitting reblog, too! Likes are nice, reblogs get exposure!
Bluesky needs a bit of a culture shift

I'm noticing that engagement has kindof been cratering, but favs haven't. People will fav a post but not comment or repost it, I've noticed this with others as well.

If you like something, spread it! Try commenting to bump it or repost it eh?

So I made an AD account a little bit ago, but I've come to realize I'm a dummy who can't manage multiple accounts and have accidentally let that account rot.

Soooooo screw it, NSFW stuff is being posted here. I'll be sure to tag it appropriately, but there's your heads-up.

I'd say I'm around a three or so, but that's purely because I tend to be quiet out of anxiety, so people might think I'm not very approachable.

I am, I promise, I'm just nervous ;-;

Welp, Tumby Bay is currently being erased by a bunch of people with waaaay too much time and money on their hands.

Glad I could at least get this screencapped, but... Ugh. How disappointing. This gecko's probably not gonna be up for much longer.
If you head over to Tumby Bay on wPlace (Southern Australia, you can't miss it), you may just spot a familiar face... 👀

Big thank you to everyone who helped to finish converting this INCREDIBLE piece by the lovely @forbic.bsky.social! This took a deceptively enormous amount of pixels to finish...

Wish you could put your OC in your favorite show?

Ever wanted to see how your favorite 2D characters looked if they were several hundred pounds heavier, or a blimp, or turning into an animal?

Well you're in luck! Cuz I'm officially open for $45 EDIT COMMS!
