Unironically I think we might run into another video game crash like back in the day
Game creation has become another husk capitalism has its greedy little fingers in and its like. Its genuinely sucking the joy out of it all for more profit and more profit and even if it succeeds its not enough it needs to be more to the point there really isn't a reason to create games anymore if you're not an indie dev
And being an indie dev isn't easy because no one has the time anymore. Everyone is drowning in student loans and low wages. Capitalism is sucking the joy out of them and overworking them and ai art is taking away opportunities to be something unique
Games are $70 fucking dollars now. I can't afford that like. I just can't. Most of us are struggling with finances as is.
We're drowning and it's happening so fast there's not enough time to panic
This is what I mean. Games aren't enough to be good or creative or excellent or fun anymore.
Like. AAA games are unfinished tech demos with dlc tacked on that is mostly content that should have been in the base game at launch
You get an indie game with love put into it and it gets received insanely well and it's. Just. Not enough.
Its burnout waiting to happen. No fucking body who goes through the trials and hardship that is game dev wants to be laid off after finishing a game there fully put their chest into. Soon why even bother? It's just another dead end for most and the student loans from learning through school is insane and no one has the time or drive to learn through their own means because we're working two jobs to pay for necessities.
Shit sucks

Translation: What a shitshow. This years Eurovision has gone to hell. And it's first and foremost the EBU's fault.
Also, excerpt from the same article:
Throughout the course of the Eurovision Song Contest, the EBU has acted as if they live in a parallel universe. Eurovision is one thing, the world outside something else. The EBU has stuck its head in the sand. Shoved the problem under the rug. Held their hands over their ears and shouted LALALALALA. They appear to have done everything they can to pretend it's possible to hold an apolitical event in a world that's on fire. We have come together to be "united by music", they say, but the sharpshooters on Malmö's rooftops have nothing to do with us! In its struggle to remain apolitical, the EBU has become like a small fascist state in itself, where the artists' space for expression and action has been reduced as much as the undergarments of the Spanish dancers. It is reprehensible.
Reminder again to BOYCOTT EUROVISION 🇵🇸
Don't watch, don't vote.

people seem to forget that house was a multiply disabled man, so it should be a given that he’d be against eugenics and eugenicist doctors

I notice the part beginning to mention the SC is cutoff in the first screenshot giving a false impression of what happened. If you see the UN say anything about this, your next question should be “what are they going to do about the Security Council?” to which the answer is nothing, basically.
and look at their response, so no real progress here.
Don't get distracted, don't stop agitating, don't give them any peace until someone does something meaningful instead of doing this bullshit over and over again.
The UN will not do anything for Palestine if they don't bypass the SC, and you should always always always ask how the SC plays into any news from the UN on this, this is not the time for anyone to let up. Do not get comfortable.
We should also be more responsible in how we're sharing these updates because I also was under the impression that something meaningful happened here.

I am being so serious when I say: if you have the financial and time privilege to get a group of friends together and make an indie project, PLEASE do. Indie games, indie animations, indie comics etc etc
the art industries are kind of in the shitter. It’s not so much because of AI (though that doesn’t help) but because studios just aren’t hiring people and funding projects anymore. People who’ve been in the industry for decades are finding themselves struggling, and once you have a mortgage or kids it’s harder to do something as risky as making something on your own.
completing projects is hard. it takes a lot of time and effort, and most people can’t afford it. so if you CAN afford to make art, even at the risk of no financial gain, I strongly encourage you to be as resilient as you can. We’re at a point where these industries are not going to turn around by themselves, and waiting for jobs to open up again in order to get experience and portfolio work might not be realistic.
people have been making art and telling stories longgggg before we were getting paid for it, and people aren’t going to stop just because no one has hired them to do so.
for everyone else: support indie artists when you can!!!! That person who made that cool indie game or youtube animation or webcomic might be doing this full time! your support might be the only reason they’re able to keep doing it.
and if you have already started an indie project: you’re so brave and I’m very proud of you!!! in fact, drop a link to it in the reblogs if you want! 👇
