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
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.

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 ๐ฎ

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

Iโm 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. Donโt share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Exactly 101 wishlists left until the big 7k. Would love for this number to be a slightly bigger number! Also give the demo a shot on steam. The big 7k probably doesn't actually matter anymore now with the calendar and everything but I'd still like to get there store.steampowered.com/app/3019490/...

I've got a crisp ten dollar bill for whoever kidnaps Zuck and deposits him in Brazil
In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. โDigital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.โ This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flรกvio Bolsonaro.

Got a little annoyed at a tool again - a lot of blender addons trying to add WASD style movement were 1,500+ lines and getting it wrong. Unreal-like movement with panning, WASD nav and camera smoothing. controls configurable. GPL.๐ #blender #unrealengine #gamedev ๐ codeberg.org/shaderwitch/...

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
