Hi. I, a trans woman, am the Executive Producer of this show. I wrote the question. He called trans girls men. He has now said it in three different places in the past week.

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Tested Switch 2 VRR Games need to be patched, only Welcome Tour supports it now It supports full LFC in 120hz mode In 60hz mode, it supports between 40-60hz like Xbox which is better than PS5's 48-60hz support Thankfully with the internal screen being VRR, most games should have it going forward

On this 60th anniversary of #StarTrek, I am especially proud that my first film credit was on Star Trek: First Contact, or Star Trek 8, as we called it at Industrial Light & Magic. My official ILM credit is "Rebel Unit Production Manager." My team provided digital spaceships and effects.

Anubis is a layer 7 firewall. It does not protect against layer 3 attacks.

in my usual fashion i have created a diagram explaining why something like anubis or other server-level firewalls would not help our situation. for normal *crawler* spam traffic (what i typically talk about), it would, but this is a different circumstance

Dolly Parton was not a billionaire, because multi-millionaires who are good people like her never get past that last finish line. Not when there are kids who need books to read and sick people who need vaccines.

Mo Ryan@moryan.bsky.social

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

I am not speaking in hyperbole when I say that I genuinely believe that the world would be a better place if people had enough of a spine to treat bad actors in every community this way. However, with proximity to money and fame everyone’s descernment and morals just kinda evaporate.

🤡"The left" is not rethinking "woke." Because "woke" never belonged to the left. It belonged to Black people. People that never launched a single civil rights or DEI project in their lives, want to speak about us from the NYT opinion column? No. NYT oponion was wrong then, and they are wrong now.

New York Times Opinion@nytopinion.nytimes.com

“What Trump did is not really replace one G.O.P. ideology with another,” David French says on “The Opinions.” Instead, “he took the G.O.P. ideology that existed around 2015, nuked it from orbit, and then turned the glowing ruins into nothing but his impulses and desires.”

We are working on a Content Pack conversion tool for Toontown Rewritten. Taking legacy Content Packs, and converting them to be compatible with updates from Toontown Remastered and Under New Management. While it's far from perfect right now, it's showing promising results.

ive been losing my fucking mind at this story -- the devs for this Brand New Jame's Pond™ Collection are swearing up and down that they did not use any gen AI for the game or promotional material and this is the image they used to try and defend themselves

GameSpot@gamespot.com

dlvr.itJames Pond’s New Trailer Has AI Alarm Bells Ringing, Comments Turned OffIt's a good time to be a fan of retro video games, thanks to all the various compilations hitting the scene, and for the James Pond enthusiasts out there, their time has finally come. Developer System 3 has announced the James Pond Legacy: The Pond is Not Enough collection, but the reveal trailer is being dragged over claims that it features generative AI art and assets. Comments on the video quickly started pointing out the telltale signs of AI images, prompting System 3 to shut off public commentary on YouTube. Even a cursory glance suggests that System 3 may have used generative AI to create the key art and character renders for the reveal. Each James Pond character has that glossy, wide-eyed aesthetic that's commonplace in AI image generation, and each character also appears to have been run through several yellow filters, which is often the result of preference tuning. AI models like ChatGPT and DALL-E default to a "golden hour" color palette that is designed to look pleasing to the eye, as these large language models have been trained on historical art, old photographs, and stylized illustrations that feature yellow-hued lighting. GameSpot has reached out to System 3 for comment on this, and we'll update this post if we hear back. https://youtu.be/CFggndxGZk0 This isn't the first time that James Pond has ventured into the world of generative AI. A legacy sequel in the form of James Pond: Rogue AI was slammed by Pond's creator, Chris Sorrell, for using the technology. "I hate almost everything they do with a passion, all the more so since they duped me into being part of their shambolic Kickstarter campaign all those years back, and I stupidly allowed my name to become associated with their bottom-feeding enterprise," Sorrell said in an interview with Time Extension last year. As for the collection of James Pond games? The compilation includes James Pond: Underwater Agent, James Pond 2: Robocod, James Pond 3: Operation Starfish, and The Aquatic Games Starring James Pond and the Aquabats. It'll launch exclusively on Switch 2 in October 2026. It's worth noting that the collection also features an interactive historical archive showcasing the original handcrafted artwork from the classic games. These illustrations also look much better in comparison, but it looks like they're joined by a few more AI-generated images in the preview screens. Generative AI remains a controversial topic in video game development, especially when used to create art assets. Multiple games have been caught using the technology, with companies regularly claiming that it was only to create temporary assets before it could be replaced by human-made art--like in the case of Pearl Abyss and Sandfall Interactive. In one notable example, Larian CEO Swen Vincke (Baldur's Gate 3) said that the studio used generative AI tools for all kinds of tasks, like exploring new game ideas, developing concept art, and creating placeholder text. After a quick retraction and explanation, Vincke confirmed that the studio was looking to grow its pool of artists. Meanwhile, other studios have taken a strong stand against the use of generative AI, with Slay the Spire 2 developer Mega Crit preferring to use "sh**" art over anything generated by machines when conceptualizing a game.

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

data4democracy.substack.comHook and SqueezeHow Democratic consultants, committees, and party leaders built a fundraising spam pipeline that funnels money from a captive pool of elderly donors into their own operations.

Warren Spector speaking some truths here. They were quite happy to rerelease the game and make more money off it recently. Some wider acknowledgement of Epic Mickey's contribution to Disney history is deserved.
