In my book I argue that IP fandoms are a crucial part of the economic model of the current media monopoly landscape, as fan campaigns drive down the value of creative labor via harassment and disposability, scare artists from taking risks with IP, and give execs a direct fan base all their own

Charlotte@fireantprincess.bsky.social

I think a lot could be said about how fandoms are very much structured to be consumerist without any critical analysis of capitalist production, and how this is the logical end result of that.

"It's weird how nobody can read anymore!" It's the fascism. "Gosh, you notice how nobody seems to engage with" It's fascism. "The focus on aesthetics instead of content is" Fascism. "Why do people think the past was better than" FASCISM.

restaurateur says you should taste the shitburger before you decide how you feel about it

Ava DuVernay's 14th, about the 14th Amendment, uses AI to animate old photos that are in the public domain, and the filmmaker wants people to see the documentary for themselves before deciding how they feel about it. tinyurl.com/c6nj6vf7

Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

Between Tim Sweeney being an absolute AI chud and the harassment of our beloved @kenney.nl, we've decided to cancel our previously announced Epic Games Store release for Shape Sender Deluxe ๐Ÿšฎ

I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

Canada should garnish the Bioware IP and nationalize them so anybody can make a game using them, with profits going to a fund that supports the arts Call it a national cultural treasure and give it the same status as protected land or species

Does it need to be said that Mass Effect shouldnโ€™t exist without the developers and team that was working on this game? Either they come back and make the game they were, or Mass Effect dies. kotaku.com/mass-effect-...

I really fucking need people to go to their local college and audit a documentary filmmaking class before saying shit like "I don't think this movie accurately portrays the facts therefore it's not a documentary" that's not what the word "documentary" *means*

โ€œ'You Can See Everything' is a hilarious, thrilling, fascinating, beautiful piece of art. What it certainly is not is a documentary, and itโ€™s dangerous to pretend that it is,โ€ writes Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz. https://bit.ly/4Bk2nDJ

Iโ€™m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Donโ€™t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Hey. Hey you! (if someone worked on a game during that game's development they should be in the credits) That's some free advice right there. Not at all based on recent personal experience NO SIRREE

The news from Brazil and Serbia are great and show that you don't defeat the far right by copying it or trying to appeal to their supporters You do it by being uncompromising, showing the danger they pose and offering something different to the many crises people suffer from

I know the vast majority of you are here because of my art, but I need to share a thread about Brazilian politics because what we achieved today deserves to be mentioned and celebrated I'll do my best to be objective for those who have no idea what was happening

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. โ€œDigital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.โ€ This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flรกvio Bolsonaro.

๐Ÿฆ‡ Hexavier ๐ŸŽƒ reposted

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

GOOD life lessons learned from gamedev: - Savagely hacking down scope is the fastest and most effective way to make an awesome product - Limitations make you do your job better - A button or seam in the right place is all you need to turn a character from garbage to fuckable

Life lessons from gamedev: - Your opinion doesn't matter - Nobody cares if you want to make a good product - Defining a process/workflow makes you an enemy - Job descriptions are for team players - Fidelity trumps quality - Well-designed clothing on characters is superfluous

So weird being able to reference stuff I learned with TF2 mapping back in like 2009 Oh yeah, of course I need to put a 90ยฐ turn here so there isn't a bunch of visportal bullshit happening
