most hold ups in the game industry are pragmatic and banal. gamers have imaginations though and like to imagine conspiracies.

poor babies

I don’t like the copyright being declined because the imagery was generated by ‘not a human’ because it actively overlooks the human agency that goes into priming these tools with stolen art. A human made this image with a tool, a human stole art to create the tool.

dealing with focus entertainment is an unpleasant experience. Genuinely noxious people captaining that ship. French publisher, not Russian, btw, seems worth noting to understand what their motivation might be.

Animorphs 4 life, yo!

gosh, what happened to the bad-faith gotcha guys in my replies intent on prying out my personal politics? it’s like they never existed! did they ever exist at all or did they come to their senses and delete their nonsense? whatever it was, nothing of value was lost!😏
