Something I see on here a lot is reply guys being like "Oh, I'm SORRY for being SOCIAL on SOCIAL MEDIA" like... the point isn't to just make as many connections as possible. This ain't a ham radio practice session. The point is (hopefully) to make positive, wholesome, friendly connections.

AKA--being social on social media is not always a good thing. If you cause a scene at a bar, you can't just be like "SORRY for TALKING at a BAR" that's not how anything works.

This is only kinda tangential to what you mean, but I find there's an annoying crowd of people who turn their noses at anything even remotely associated with the vague class of "nerd stuff" and won't even listen.

Imo it's fun to listen to people talk about things I don't understand. Because if I don't get it, I can engage them by asking questions! That way the person explaining it can get a picture of how their words are building my mental model, and we both come out with a better understanding.

♿️ A Wheelchair Focused Accessibility Review of Black Mesa: Part 1 [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

i'm playing through (as in the base game, not the remake Black Mesa), and i think it's fun to look at game spaces from a lens. To start we're going to review the train from the opening chapter, Black Mesa Inbound!

The starts and stops of the train are a little jolty, but I think they're acceptable, as is the lack of securement for wheelchairs, specifically because the train is always level and moving rather slowly.

There is clear signage, and I'm going to handwave the lack of braille because the textures are so low-res that the signs are unreadable. However, I would like to see a digital display for at least some of the announcer's speech. (Game accessibility note: I also want subtitles.)

Aboard the train, there is dedicated space for one wheelchair, but it leaves other passengers without a lot of legroom.

Speaking of the announcer, I did catch this: "If it is necessary to leave the train, disabled personnel should be evacuated first." Good to see Black Mesa has good policy here!

I can't speak to the boarding process, but upon leaving, I noticed two glaring issues, pictured below. There's both a step, and a rather large gap between the train and catwalk. This is unsafe, inaccessible, and unacceptable, unless that step is supposed to represent an extendable ramp - but it sure doesn't look like one.

Bonus: I spotted this scientist trapped by and banging on a heavy metal door. RIP.

The interior of a train with large windows all around it. There are 6 seats visible and space for a wheelchair between four of them.a grated catwalk with a large gap between it and the tram. there's a step, probably about 2 inches high, inside the train as soon as you enter. Aboard the train, spotting a very distant white guy in a lab coat using both arms to try to pull open a stuck metal door.

The image shows Tom doing his "I'm in X" pose, the description title says "Legendary Creature - Human"

Furthermore, the description itself says "when Tom Scott enters the battlefield, he explores. (Reveal the top card of your library. Put that card in your hand if it's a land. Otherwise, put a  1/ 1 counter on this creature, then put the card back or put it into your graveyard.)

The flavour text says "I'm in a Magic: The gathering card."

Oh my fucking god

I just had the sudden realisation that the way fedi does handles, @username@domain.tld, is pretty much almost exactly the same that "first name" and "last name" was handled in ye olden times

Then and there it often was X of Y, with X the name, and Y the city or place. "Last names" we have these days have this built in as an artefact; of, from, de, d', van, von, of the, etc.

So fedi has inadvertently recreated this trend

Cruelty Squad got awarded by The National Arts Councils of the Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike)

cross-posted from: sopuli.xyz/post/6273186

The National Council for Audiovisual Art has awarded the State Prize for Media Art 2023 to visual artist Ville Kallio.

Ville Kallio was awarded in recognition of his meritorious work in the field of media and games as art. Kallio’s solo video game Cruelty Squad (2021) is artistically, content-wise and technically an ambitious and successful work in which his distinctive style emerges, both visually and narratively.

Cruelty Squad envisions a hyper-capitalist dystopian future in which everything is commercialised. At first impression, the work is a visually harrowing, hectic and skill-demanding video game. The more players immerse themselves in the game, the more they will find a lot of sharp social criticism within it, as it raises deep questions about human dignity and justice. Cruelty Squad is an internationally successful, artistically uncompromising and original work whose creator deserves to be noted for his artistic achievements also in Finland.

Ville Kallio (b. 1990) is a visual artist from Helsinki who works in many fields, including drawing, painting, video and sculptures, and in recent years especially with video games. His works have been shown internationally, including at the Feels Like Memeplex exhibition in Plymouth in 2023 and the Pet Cemetery exhibition in Athens in 2019.

I've never used VStream before, but lmao at the fact that they thought doing a sponsored event would bring people into their community. To most outsiders it was probably just like having to go to a weird website to watch a pay-per-view broadcast.

If I were them, I'd start bringing members of the existing community together for collabs, so that there's more overlap in viewership of streamers. Ergo more viewers will stay on VStream longer because they have more than one streamer to watch.
