Native American Federal worker rebuilding his social network. Politically whatever, enjoyer of media, Husband to @TheInZombiac and father. Also a veteran USAF

[Avarith Blüstone @Avarith_grey]

So for those who forgot me, it has been a while. I'm a Vet of the USAF, a writer/artist, a fed, and more.

I hope with this remake of my previous account which I accidentally deleted (not knowing deactivation=deletion after 30 days) shit will be chill.

Here's my newest piece.

@Cthulhu_OwO They just don't wanna be gay into femboys lol

@BerrieVT Seeing posts without a check always have me like

[Avarith Blüstone @Avarith_grey]

Chinese people being racist against other groups of Asians is... way more common than you think. The fact this person does everything to remove his connection to his heritage is the perfect example of the one drop rule.

[Avarith Blüstone @Avarith_grey]

@Cthulhu_OwO He learned

[Avarith Blüstone @Avarith_grey]

See, I wanna be on the indie side because small creators are essential. Yet if you make a less than two hour game with no replay value, most would assume this would happen.

Sorry, there is no win here

[Crypto Jargon @Crypto_Jargon]

be Mateo

- 23 years old
- solo game developer from Germany
- goes on vacation, tries paddle boating with his brother
- realizes how hard it actually is

- gets home, builds a physics-based coop paddle game around the idea
- ships the demo in 2 weeks
- releases the full game as "Paddle Paddle Paddle"

- game blows up
- sells over 150,000 units
- goes full-time as an indie dev
- named Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe 2026

should be a total win

- 90% positive reviews
- game clearly works, clearly isn't broken

but the game is short, tight, and easy to finish fast

- 55,000 refunds
- 21% refund rate
- $164,000 clawed back at $2.99 a copy

not because it's bad

because Steam's refund window has a blind spot

- less than 2 hours played, 14 days since purchase
- instant refund, no questions asked
- built to protect buyers from broken games
- can't tell "this didn't work" from "I beat this and want my money back"

this exact exploit already happened in 2021

- different indie dev, Emika Games, hit the same wall
- nearly quit the industry over it

Valve still hasn't fixed it

- posts about it publicly, gets support from the community
- keeps developing anyway
- already teasing his next game, a coop voice-controlled chaos game called CAAAHR

went from a shower thought on vacation to 150,000 units sold to a six-figure hole in his pocket, all from the same industry that put him on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list

[Avarith Blüstone @Avarith_grey]

@skavenslave @realWhiteHats @ViatorMarsus Legitimate question, because this is something I was told never happens.

Infact I was told requiring ID at all for voting is racist because it's too hard for citizens to do it... yet illegals are getting CDLs

[Avarith Blüstone @Avarith_grey]

Hell, give it a tag of where the AI was used. Coding most will be fine, but art is the main issue with most and some VA work.

There are many who know this is a nuanced issue

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

A new survey suggests that most Steam users are okay with AI in games.

> 43% said they’re completely fine with AI in games.
> 25.6% said they’re neutral.
> 31.4% said they have a negative view of AI in games.
>8.1% said they would never play a game that uses AI.

The survey, conducted by GameDiscoverCo with around 3,800 Steam users, also found that players are generally more comfortable with AI being used for things like coding

AI-generated art, voice acting, and story content were much more controversial.

@ProotGen79981 @FemboyIdeas Actually yeah

Especially if you think you're the opposite gender not because of gender dysphoria but because you had hobbies associated with another gender or just preferred their clothes.

"I think I'm a man cause I like fixing trucks" is reinforcing gender norms.

[Avarith Blüstone @Avarith_grey]

@Matteodebeste1 It's always people who say there shouldn't be a gender binary always enforcing binaries

[Avarith Blüstone @Avarith_grey]

Not the best protest but one that has the best odds of being heard without going the path of the old school.

PlayStation now has 8 community notes on the post and over 154M views, more than the GTA VI trailer.

They have gone completely silent for 6 days after the announcement of ending physical disks, and everyone is waiting for their next move.

[Avarith Blüstone @Avarith_grey]

@LookAtMyMeat1 From how the US industry works is they sublet their animation work to overseas teams. Most of their budget tends to be Celebrity voices not actual animation.

[Avarith Blüstone @Avarith_grey]

@MorgueMews Despite sad moments I like to think there is always hope. Might not always seem like it but it keeps me going.

[Avarith Blüstone @Avarith_grey]

@MorgueMews Much better, honestly the end thoughts were cleared by my daughter. I still feel depressed but not needing a game over.

[Avarith Blüstone @Avarith_grey]

@kyoruyeye Yup, and somehow the evil space ultra Nazi's helped and didn't trigger him more.

@Eliza_Artz People often think ankles are too much, they'll never admit it but lord forbid it's hot on the beach and someone is in a bikini

@ChibiReviews Homunculus, at least for me. I love action panels in other manga, but this one was always had me thinking and thirsting for more.

I could argue Baki or HunterxHunter but I don't know. I don't think about them all the time.
