Here's another 10 invites for meow, the previous ones were all used up. meow.social/invite/3dozNucY

@Sir_Vigon @slifante Yo podría comprarme una casa barata y repararla yo mismo, pero no puedo y estoy forzado a vivir de alquiler, gracias a toda esta gente que hacen acopio de todas las propiedades asequibles para venderlas mucho más caras de lo que les ha costado las reformas.

@slifante Serán unas viñetas IA, y el mensaje exagerado O simplificado, pero básicamente está en lo cierto. Ninguna mentira ahí.

Realmente es cierto que mucha gente tiene doce años mentales.

@GreatBolshevik @dark1LTG It's a long process involving a lot of people. You can't expect such an initiative to predict everything that could happen when it is debated with people in the industry. Bringing it to the parliment's attention is just the first step.

@cottondpad @dark1LTG Question, is it up to the politicians to interpret the meaning of it?

Been reading through all of the posts against me over my stance on the Stop Killing Games initiative. Tons of people calling me a liar or that I misrepresented the initiative. Also lots of content creators dogpiling on this to get their pound of flesh. Lets dig into what I actually did and said. I put out two videos on August 6th 2024 and August 7th 2024. These videos are linked at the bottom of this post. Many people have not watched them and are just calling me a liar or attacking my character. Give the videos a watch, read the initiative itself, make a conclusion that you aren't copy pasting from social media. Monetization on these videos is disabled so no this is not some ploy to increase revenue. I just care about this subject and have rightful concerns as a person working in this space. In the first video. I go through what an initiative is, how it's not law, and how it's a starting point for this entire process. This helps people understand that this is to start the conversation for change and can adapt later. I then go through the initiative and some of it's goals from the official page for it. I then talk about the repercussions of them should they be implemented. As written all games need to be left in a "Functional Playable State". Next I bring up The Crew and walk through the business around it, the sequels, and the size of the player-base at time of sunset. I did this because it was called out by this initiative as an example of publishers destroying a game. I also harshly critique Ross Scotts wording in his videos because they disparage the lawmaking process and lawmakers which doesn't benefit players or this movement in any way. In the second video. I talk about potential scenarios where a studio could be abused if the initiative was implemented as written. It adds new paths for abuse and that needs to be discussed to help hone this initiative into something that would do good without doing harm. I then explain that very few people in the game development space can actually discuss this from the other side due to fear of losing their jobs. A studio is much safer in silent dissent then they are discussing the drawbacks of your ideals. The recent attacks on our games is obvious evidence of this. To recap. My main issue with this initiative is that it is broad in it's approach to change the industry and the exact language of the initiative, not the FAQ, requests that all games stay in a "Functional Playable State". This is not feasible for all games at a technical level and could potentially restrict developers from making online-only games like MMOs, MOBAs, and User Generated Content games in the future. That list is not exhaustive and it doesn't matter if you do or don't like those kinds of games. Effectively this has the potential to restrict future developers from making kick-ass experiences because it locks a weight on their designs. Even though this is an initiative that can change in the future this goal is core to the mission and deeply disruptive so it needs to be called out. To clear up some disinformation about my character. I left AAA in 2016 because I fucking hate how the industry is now and prefer indie entirely. I don't like Blizzard or I would have stayed working there. That's why I quit. That's the entire point. Fuck AAA and what many studios have turned games into. Outside of that no I am not financially supported by live service games. I make a single player RPG and am the Director of Strategy for offbrand games. In that position I am paid MINIMUM WAGE by my own decision because I care about games succeeding not about profiting off of them. To further this the games we're publishing are all playable offline anyway because their gameplay loops are not only based on inter-player interaction. Not all games are like this and not all games can be like this. No, I have not been running away from discourse on this I talked about it for around 8 hours on stream yesterday. I never took my videos down and I have not discussed the initiative in the 10 months it's been since I released those videos. My internet also died mid-broadcast so I had to go live again 30 minutes later. Thanks ISP. For those that will scream HE'S DOUBLING DOWN. Yes I damn well am. I give a shit about this initiative and what it means for games, developers, and players in the future. To finish out. Just because I don't support this doesn't mean you should blindly follow me in that just because I said pretty words on the internet. You also shouldn't blindly bash me because some other creator said to. Watch the videos I put out, read the initiative, decide for yourself. Apply critical thinking and don't outsource it to others. As always. Stay Frosty. First Video: youtube.com/watch?v=ioqSvL… Second Video: youtube.com/watch?v=x3jMKe… Minimum Wage Proof: x.com/PirateSoftware…

@PirateSoftware I saw your shorts regarding the initiative weeks or months after you posted them, they had a lot of reach during a long period of time.

@TSG_LAB @dewkuwu @RandomUser9756 @GreatBolshevik @EventHo05727762 @dark1LTG The proposal is to make a non-retroactive law with a grace period, and the costs of making the servers distributable during development is trivial compared with the cost of making the servers distributable after they're finished. Devs can just make the architecture choices then.

@dewkuwu @RandomUser9756 @GreatBolshevik @EventHo05727762 @dark1LTG Yeah but I said "AAA devs", not "corporations" or "AAA publishers". Those last two will not have the best interests of AAA devs in mind. They will have their greedy interests in mind. It's gonna be the loot-box situation all over again.

@GreatBolshevik @dark1LTG 1. It's a proposal to be considered, not a law or a draft or a law or anything. 2. It's a proposal to eventually make a proposal to present to the parliament. You can't be too detailed. 3. Every change needs translation into like 15-23 languages and that can take a lot of time.

@dark1LTG Question, if people acknowledge the wording thing and it can be changed, why wouldn’t they change the wording to make it more specific so that it can’t be interpreted like that unless that’s actually the goal to be interpreted like that?

@PirateSoftware I don't understand your argument for the abuse potential: If a server was released for a game, ANYBODY can run a server, and not only the people that supposedly made it tank. Regardless of whether commercial use is forbidden or if the ban is enforced, I don't see what's the issue

@JusticiaBursat @vinacho @Trumperizar Un abusador va a convencer a un niño de que puede consentir, independientemente de lo que diga ella o la ley. Precisamente ES la educación sexual lo que puede prevenir estos abusos. Un niño NO PUEDE consentir tener una relación sexual con un adulto, y tienen que saberlo!

@vinacho @Trumperizar Dijo que los niños tienen que saber qué tienen el derecho a amar O TENER RELACIONES SEXUALES con quién quieran siempre que haya consentimientom Eso es MUY PELIGROSO cualquier niño persuadido por un adulto abusador podría dar su consentimiento ES GRAVE LO QUE DIJO ESTA MUJER

"Los niños tienen derecho a tener relaciones sexuales con cualquiera" Milei no se equivoca, la ideología de género es pedofilia🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Logged in for the first time in ages and ALL interactions are bots. Just "normal people" liking a couple of my posts and following me, except that they have nothing to do with my niches and have no posts in their profiles. Obvious bots.

@DiaperDj @Frost_Bite1994 If it's the rules why are there plenty of adult content creators that are not ABDL not affected? Also, why is there no warning at all?? Or no way to appeal, etc.

@Frost_Bite1994 patreon.com/policy/guideli… "Patreon does not allow pornography, which we define as images and videos depicting humans engaging in sexual acts including, but not limited to, masturbation and sexual intercourse." So you're mad about their existing rules being enforced. 🥱

@CharanFlameTail There's still a couple of meow.social invites left pinned in my profile, if anyone wants.

@BinkyKitten Mastodon is like Twitter, there's not that much to understand, apart from the fact that you can interact with people that is not in the same server as you. It has existed for much longer than bsky so it's much more developed. Unlike bsky there's no weird AI tagging stuff.

@BinkyKitten I think you would be very welcome in meow (and the furry fediverse in general). My pinned link still has a couple of meow invites left, if you want.

@Tazmani71626642 @John_O_Really Am I supposed to give my credentials or something? Anyway you don't have the remote idea of how hard and laborious game dev is. It involves SO many disciplines that it makes most other kinds of programming look like childs play in comparison, and yet it has shit pay.

@cottondpad @John_O_Really Sure you do

@Tazmani71626642 @John_O_Really sftu I work in the field

@cottondpad @John_O_Really Yes because they so totally aren’t lying lol gullible sheep.

@Tazmani71626642 @John_O_Really Have you talked to any game dev, ever?

@cottondpad @John_O_Really Why would you want that? And they aren’t paid more lol.

@Elliotte_Draws @Higgyfur @Piku184 Yes, it does, and they're compatible. I follow people from misskey from my meow (mastodon) account just fine. We call the whole network "fediverse", and it exploded in growth during the last couple of months. Some artists are using postybirb to post stuff to all sites at once.

@Higgyfur @Piku184 Misskey appears to be a decentralized twitter clone, maybe it works like mastodon? I'm not entirely clear on it.

@RenPixiv MastodonとMisskeyはライバルではない。僕はMastodonのアカウントからたくさんのMisskeyの人をフォローしているし、その逆もしかり。さらに、MeowやKemonodonなど、多くのMastodonサーバーから選ぶことができる。

Twitter残留組、Misskey移動組、Mastodon移動組のトリカラマッチ ファイっ！！

@Rollarwolfcub @SharkyPadded When you set up a redirection, only the real (non redirected) account shows up in search, so it's all fine.

@SharkyPadded ya it can be confusing.. i have all my redirecting to cubhub.social.... but have babyfurs.social, abdl.link, and a few other ones...... >.< so many of them now and everyone is divided on al them.

@SmellyDragyena @AliothFox Take a look at furryfediverse.org to see if any catches your attention. If you want to join meow.social (currently invite only) I left a few invites pinned in my profile.

@AliothFox I might look at joining the giant shark, dunno wgere to start though.
