Break the glass and wake this vtuber when the Dream becomes too unstable.

If my eye's on you, then you've already dun goofed.

Cuando VALVe estaba al borde de la quiebra y Gabe Newell fue a pedir ayuda para lanzar Steam, el 99% de la industria le dijo que no, que perdía el tiempo. No fueron una o dos empresas. Fueron todas. Lo cuenta el propio GabeN en el documental del 20º aniversario de Half-Life 2.

Ahora esa misma industria llora porque quieren parte del pastel que su propia incompetencia y arrogancia les impidió ver.

Excepto VALVe, nadie pensó a largo plazo. Nadie se jugó la empresa y el patrimonio personal contra una industria sin visión. Nadie apostó por tratar a sus clientes como personas.

Por eso CEOs como @TimSweeneyEpic y compañía se la pasan despidiendo gente en masa mientras buscan nuevas formas de exprimir y abusar de los jugadores, en vez de construir una comunidad de verdad.

Steam no es un monopolio. Es la recompensa por hacer las cosas bien cuando nadie más tuvo cojones.

@PolitlcsUK Your "police" arrests people for:
Saying mean words about your government.
Having spoons.
Being stabbed by immigrants.
Saying funny words on the internet.

You can either nut up or shut up, and you ain't got the nuts so that only leaves one option.

@DarksMusics @YourPalAnus video not accurate, head too large.

@HMBohemond Why is it always the sockpuppet accounts with the smallest number of followers that have the most idiotic takes?

@KenPaxtonTX I triple dog dare you.

Discord may be getting their hands forced by lawsuits like Texas AG Paxton’s—pushing mandatory Digital ID verification (gov ID upload + facial scan)

That means everything you say could be directly tied to your real government ID and used as court evidence with almost zero oversight… especially concerning here in Canada

Discord already had major leaks (tens of thousands of real IDs exposed) AND they’ve been trying shady ID systems like Persona

You can email them with your concerns here: [email protected]

Tell them this is unacceptable and they need to fight it

@BlackDumpling They can't use the "You're not a real artist if you use AI" argument when REAL artists either don't care whatsoever or they outright endorse it for the tool that it is.

Extra points when they use EWJ or other media to throw shade when EWJ's creator actively endorses AI usage.

@NamikaVT I guess proto vtubers aren't real vtubers either.

[//APOTH @ProjektApoth]

@a_maineiac @YourPalAnus This would've been my response as well, even though I have the skills to draw it myself.

[//APOTH @ProjektApoth]

@Keeen_EN The "AI is art theft" isn't even an argument they can use when they're using software suites like Adobe or cloud services like Google Drive.

[//APOTH @ProjektApoth]

@Kodiak_VT It hits hard for me, because out of my old crew that I served with, I'm the last one still standing and I can't even visit their resting places to spend time with them.

So people that say "Happy Memorial Day" can go fuck right off.

@libsoftiktok @Blizzard_Ent @Microsoft You think that's bad?

Imagine permabanning people that worked alongside the company for calling out security flaws within their games and burning those bridges down, because the team thought obscurification was a valid method of securing their IP traffic within the game.

@Sir_Dammed @publiusthegreat @Justin__NC @SGuardsman She was the most insufferable one of them all.

[//APOTH @ProjektApoth]

@WeebyRevy @Sir_Dammed It's like it's at 99% the way of hitting that checkpoint of being decent but then perpetually halves the distance needed instead of actually taking that leap.

[//APOTH @ProjektApoth]

@MistrInsouciant @NotAzehara And often than not that it's the same ones that are ghosting their clients that scream about AI being "evil and art thievery", while at the same time acting like scalpers.

[//APOTH @ProjektApoth]

@EthosHeretica @wardrake @Marakath In other words, most of the anti-AI group are scalper-equivalent of the art community.

[//APOTH @ProjektApoth]

@RainyRentyn But everything else aside, sympathies around for you and everybody else having to go through that, especially as a first-timer.

[//APOTH @ProjektApoth]

@RainyRentyn My favorite Meet and Greets are the waldo-esque ones, where you catch them in the wild.

@DrinkGamerGirl Should keep the typo in and acknowledge said typo somewhere else, hidden - makes it more human.

[//APOTH @ProjektApoth]

@C3narian @Nightowl_Vt Better yet, they should read the terms on the programs that they use to draw their art with.

Adobe for a main instance, along with a multitude of other programs, have it in their terms that whatever you create with their program can be used as future training materials for AI.
