I was told, "if you boycott every game that is made using any AI stuff, this will probably be your last year playing most games."
Two years back a bunch of photographers and musicians I followed decided NFTs were the future. I stopped buying their stuff.
NFTs died. Blockchain and crypto are dying.
It's within our power as consumers and creators to say "no."
When someone puts a knife to your throat (and that's what "AI" is to many creatives), you're not obliged to point out your carotid.

Someone out here is a #BatenKaitos fan, other than me right?
I wish I could whole heartedly recommend the remaster but we can't all be as lucky as Dead Space fans xD
Not to say I regret buying it, but it could have been better and I cannot really forgive them for not having the English voice lines :/
But I could really use someone else to talk with, as long as you don't mind that I've never managed to finish the thing
Day 9: Rec what's New?
Given that the anime is airing right now, I'd like to rec Dungeon Meshi! DnD with food, humor and ecology lessons!
What I love about it? A bunch of stuff!:
- Ryoko Kui art is just beautiful, love her style!: https://www.tumblr.com/laiostouden/739593766578618368/simply-the-best?source=share
- Marcille/Falin: are they canon, maybe not, but the vibes are 100 % there
- The anime it's looking pretty good so far!
- Namari (just the fact that she exist <3)
(1/2)
Celebrate the start of a year by making a shiny new Thing.

One of the most realistic things in HSR is how whenever there's an idle moment the characters immediately whip out their phones and start scrolling lmao #HonkaiStarRail
Help us Sad Bastards!
Amazon in all its wisdom has taken down the Sad Bastard Cookbook. They won't tell us why. They won't tell us how to fix whatever tripped the algorithm. They won't seem to let us appeal. Reaching a human at Amazon is a Kafkaesque experience that we haven't yet managed to do.
Not only does this affect our ability to distribute it free to depressed, disabled, and broke folks, but the paperback is a big source of income for us. Anyone fought the 'Zon and won? Help!
30 years ago, I had a CD player that played CDs when you put the CDs in and pushed play. It was awesome.
Now I have a laptop with orders of magnitude more computing power than what was needed to orchestrate the moon landing. I put a CD in it and it takes 5 minutes to figure out what just happened.
Any sufficiently advanced technology will render the technology of the past indistinguishable from magic.
A fanfic poll! When you see someone with a fic series called "drabbles", how long do you expect the fics in the series to be, generally?
Boosts welcome, and so are replies indicating your answer plus the rough range of years in which you started experiencing fanfic.
Do you like Tokusatsu? Do you like reccing fanworks, and just recs in general? Tokurecs on Dreamwidth is now live!
You can rec posts for any sort of fanwork based on any Tokusatsu series or films. Either they be fics, art, meta, graphics, vids, podfic, etc. (This comm is 18+ only.)
All Toku is welcome! If the fanwork is based on a Tokusatsu, it is more than welcome to be recced here! Don’t let the popularity of a series/how well known it is deter you.
The centaur ducked his head into my salon, glancing around nervously.
I paused from sweeping away hair and looked over, "Looking for a trim?"
He nodded shyly, "And a shampoo, please."
"Mane and tail?"
He looked startled and glanced at his rump, then back at me, "Yes, both."
I shifted a few things around and guided him to the basins, "Special occasion?"
"I'm... going to propose," he gulped.
"And?" I giggled.
"Will you marry me?"
I didn't know much about Chuck Tingle other than seeing some silly book covers and seeing his pictures with a bag on his head. But this (free) Patreon post from him is a great breakdown of how not making an accommodation for someone's disability can be so hurtful.
As stated from my friend @normakrautmeyer:
> This is an important post about disability accessibility and the ways autistic and queer folks are too often shut out.
the trouble with writing is that it's literally always easier to lie on the floor making seal noises
Day 3: fandom wishes
Honestly, i wish more people felt comfortable making whatever fanworks *they* want to make instead of worrying about readers or viewers or likes/kudos. ive seen too many people get tied to a numbers game instead of just having fun.
fandom shouldn't be a job! i get that there are many who are also earning their income from their art, but there should also be time for creatives to just play around and make things for themselves
