Think of people around the world tonight who need Twitter to get their voices heard, to document human rights abuses and injustices, to get attention, expose war crimes, and more.

All of them could be about to be cut off because the world’s richest man wanted to own the libs.

every time musk fires a twitter engineer for calling out his bs, the general response is "sad, but you shouldn't call out your boss in public". why? why is it assumed that people in power can say or do whatever tf they want without even being called out for it. serf mentality

Die Geldtöpfe der Gamesförderung sind leer - nicht nur für dieses Jahr, auch für 2023. Diese Neuigkeit traf viele EntwicklerInnen überraschend und stürzte über Nacht ganze Teams in eine tiefe Krise. Ihre Geschichten unterstreichen: Die Lage ist ernst.

Ich hab schon viele Interviews dazu führen können, aber ich glaube, da steckt immer noch mehr drin, deswegen ausnahmsweise mal hier gefragt:

Wer hier spielt gezielt Games um easy Achievements und Trophäen einzusacken? Schreibt mir eine DM, bin neugierig und habe Fragen <3

I have a looming feeling AI generated art will devour the economic sustainability of being an illustrator

not because art will be replaced by AI as a whole - but because it'll be so much cheaper and good enough for most people and corporations

... or at least find the time and energy to keep track of newest developments.

but this is a classic case of "the grass is greener on the other side" and i wouldn't change my current place in the tattooing world for anything.

so i'll keep on lurking in your tweets occasionally.

[botaurus interstellaris ✨🐣✨ @monkeyotoshi]

on days like these (ie knowing a maze fest is happening in berlin), i wish i continued to be involved with media (studies) and the academic-ish world. i feel there are so many themes i would love to continue to explore and discuss with others... [1/2]

@vectorpoem what's interesting as well is, how due to the international properties of the internet, definitions muddle and change across borders and cultures. how american takes on politics seem to influence the way we speak about politics in germany as well.

@tecnologyforlif i must add: my initial tweet was a simplistic, polemic hot take based on a very random thought and a friend's reaction upon opening the world map in a new game and going "uh-oh", but not in a good way.

[botaurus interstellaris ✨🐣✨ @monkeyotoshi]

open world games are playable neoliberalism.

[botaurus interstellaris ✨🐣✨ @monkeyotoshi]

@tecnologyforlif yes, what you are talking about are well executed open-world or even sandbox games. what I'm talking about are games with a list of chores to do. which ofc you can mix and match to fit your playstyle, but are a completionists nightmare.
