En attendant la sortie de #baldursgate3, on peut écouter (ou réécouter) l’interview du fondateur de Larian pour Libération. "Swen Vincke revient sur les origines du projet, leur processus créatif, leur étrange organisation de travail, et sur l’étendue un peu vertigineuse, un peu folle, du résultat final." #gaming#jeuvideo
Got a few side-quests done tonight in Dust: An Elysian Tail! Currently sitting at 62% completion! I played for a couple hours on Steam Deck and only managed to use 40% of the battery!
If you listened to the recent Good Omens serial, adaptated and sound-designed by Dirk Maggs from the book by Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett, then you'll likely enjoy this discussion between old friends and collaborators, Dirk and Neil on the topic. It took place right before the recording.
Good Omens ('90) is a comedy about the coming end-times when Satan sends his son to Earth to precipitate Armageddon. Things don't go according to plan and angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley who were never keen are left to sort things out. Authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman are the police.
Active moderation against racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia
Users must have the confidence that they are joining a safe space,
free from white supremacy, anti-semitism and transphobia of other platforms.
this is a smoke screen.
Liberation must be for EVERYONE. Or all it does is change who gets to be on top.
NO SUPREMACY should be encouraged
We need a universal ban on hate for ANY protected group
IF I HEAR ONE MORE CLAIM OF HOW THERES SOME INVISIBLE MAGICALLY ENFORCED RANKING OF "HIGHER VALUE". ON SOME DISABILITY HIERARCHY BASED ON "REASONS" I AM GOING TO SCREAM
I wonder if the whole #AI thing will finally convince artists that modern #copyright regime was never meant to protect them.
It was meant to protect the middlemen. The Amazons, the Spotifies, the Sonys, the Disneys. The film studios, the publishing houses.
Now the middlemen figured out they own basically all of art, and that they can just train a computer on that, to replace artists with a piece of software.
And then stop paying artists even the pittance they were being paid so far.
@rysiek If you consider Audiobook Narrators to be artists and audiobooks to be art (I do, honestly, on both counts), then here is a link to my catalogue of high heat audiobooks:
@AdaraAstin I absolutely do consider audiobooks art and audiobook narrators artists. Many books get a completely new shine, new depth, in an audiobook version!
@bookbook Merci, le fediverse fonctionne 😁. J’ai eu peur de pas les recevoir car ils sont arrivés 2 jours après que je sois parti en vacances (heureusement qu’on ne partait qu’une semaine, sinon le colis serait reparti 😅).
Just had my son diagnosed. I lied and said we were getting further advice about his dyslexic strengths and weaknesses. Because I didn't want to tell him unless we were sure as being an adolescent is hard enough.
What's a really good resource that I can use to help explain what it means?
On Mastodon, Lemmy communities show up similarly to how a regular Mastodon user does, and can be searched and tagged similarly. So in this case, OP tagged this community specifically rather than any others with the same name.
I believe if you try and tag multiple it only posts to the first community mentioned in your toot, but don’t quote me on that one!
I wish I could return to a time when video games didn't feel like chores. Looking at most of the games on my computer, and they are all live-service games which take up too much of my time.
I need to quit starting games that don’t have a defined beginning, middle, and end.
Maybe I will take August off from video games which are ongoing services.
