indigenous woman who is also a vidya designer, on the "indigenous" section on CBC:
Neighbor why are "indigenous" and "aboriginal" activist foids always like the Whitest motherlovers on the planet?
When the video game Custer's Revenge first came out more than 30 years ago, a successful boycott eventually caused it to be pulled from store shelves The controversial video game, made for the Atari 2600 by Mystique (now defunct), depicts indigenous women tied to trees and cacti and r*ped.
When indigenous game designer Elizabeth LaPensรฉe found out this game was again available for play online she took to Twitter to voice her outrage.
"The game reinforces systemic violence against native women," said LaPensรฉe.
Daniel Starkey, a Chickashsha Nation game journ*list, was researching a story about Native American representation in games when he came across YouTube videos of Custer's Revenge. Starkey spoke with LaPensรฉe about his find. The two of them were able to find several game-play footage videos on YouTube, but it wasn't until Starkey dug deeper that he actually found a playable link to a remade version of the game.
"I'm not in a position to go to that link, download it and play it. I don't know how far back that would put me in my personal healing," said LaPenลee from her home in Oregon. But Starkey did download the game to prove that it can be played.
"[It] made me sick to my stomach and brought me to tears," said Starkey. "I respect its right to exist, but it's almost impossible for me to figure out how anyone could consider the game of cultural value to anyone."
B-WORD THIS IS A FRICKING ATARI GAME FROM 1982

IT WAS ALREADY BOYCOTTED WHEN IT CAME OUT
THE COMPANY THAT MADE IT DOESN'T EXISTS ANYMORE
THE DEVS WHO CREATED IT ARE IN THEIR 70S OR 80S IF THEY ARE STILL ALIVE
ARE YOU GONNA CALL FOR THE BOYCOTT OF SALร AND ERASERHEAD NEXT?
LaPensรฉe is a former game journ*list turned game designer. Until now, LaPensรฉe had not spoken out against violence against women in video games. The gaming industry has come under fire for its sexual harassment against women and female game designers and journ*lists have had their safety and lives threatened.
LaPensรฉe said she has stayed quiet for this very reason.
"If anyone were to attack me in that way, I just don't have the allies in the game industry who would help protect me and look out for me, I have the native community too," said LaPensรฉe.
For me stepping out isn't just about the game industry, it's about personal experiences and having to be the voice of someone who is part of a statistic, that a game like this is reinforcing what creates that statistic.
- Elizabeth LaPensรฉe, video game designer
LaPensรฉe, who designs games that promote indigenous heritage and healing, said her decision to speak out now is based on her career's work.
"This has been my whole life's work, starting off as a g*mer and then looking at native representation in video games. And finding the places that we can step up, and step in and define our representations ourselves," said LaPensรฉe.
"For me stepping out isn't just about the game industry, it's about personal experiences and having to be the voice of someone who is part of a statistic, that a game like this is reinforcing what creates that statistic."
In the last 24 hours, since LaPensรฉe`s initial tweet and the follow-up Twitter conversation, several videos of game-play footage have been taken down. Starkey added the footage violates YouTube's terms of service by containing explicit content and uncensored nudity.
LaPensรฉe said that even though a game like this exists, the indigenous community can change the narrative by replacing the content with positive messages.
"We can make games too. We're completely capable of it. The cowtools are much more accessible, the technology is much more accessible than it used to be," said LaPensรฉe, adding a lot of her work is responding to a game like this.
Holy fricking shit, imagine sperging out about a game that was 31 years old (now 41) by the time this article was written, this is even more pathetic than the Brapzilian Pentecostal TV channel in 2011 sperging out against Duke Nukem 3D , this is like if Jack Thompson came back from the shadows and started to shit on Doom and Doom 2 30 years later

/r/sanantonio recently had this discussion and I have some takeaways I want to share with you. Less about restaurants per se but the sentiment applies.Buccees owners are hardcore Paxton / Abbott supporters/donors.Pluckers owners drank the trump coolaid too.Heb does donate to republicans, though it seems it's more just because that's who's in charge - they've donated to more moderate, non-school vouchers ones and this has drawn Abbott's disapproval.Check out the "goods unite us" website to see what corporation funds what candidate and political party. Less local more national honestly but still. I've been looking at it and some egregiously conservative (like funding politicians vehemently against roe) include Home Depot, Valero, and Chick-fil-A.

2024 YR4 is an asteroid recently discovered by scientists in Chile (it's not the flying Tesla "asteroid", this one is legit). It is an "Apollo-type" near-Earth object that crosses our planet's orbit.
This week, scientists learned it had a 1.2%-1.6% chance of hitting Earth on 22 December 2032.
At a diameter of between 40 and 100 metres (130 and 330ย ft), an impact with the ground could release approximately 8 megatons of destructive energy.
For reference, that is 533 times the bomb at Hiroshima and more than double the maximum yield of a US Navy Trident II ICMB.
All this places 2024 YR4 at a troubling 3 (out of 10) on the Torino Scale of impact hazards. It is the only non-0 threat, and the second highest ever recorded, exceeded only briefly in 2004 by 99942 Apophis before closer observations revealed that asteroid would not hit Earth.
So that is the bad news. Ready for the good news?
Calculations by NASA and the ESA show that 2024 YR4's "risk corridor" (where it would hit) doesn't pose a threat to anywhere important.

I've been messing around trying to figure out LoRA training recently and decided to train a style LoRA on the original Marsey Telegram stickers.
Should more flexible than MarseyGen since this is trained on a newer uncensored model, but it's booru tag-based so it's not as easy to prompt.
Recommended Settings:
Requires a UI that supports SDXL V-Pred models such as reForge/Comfy UI
Model: NoobAI-XL V-Pred-1.0 (may work ok with other NoobAI based models)
LoRA strength: 1.0
Sampler: Euler A
Scheduler: Beta
Steps:
30CFG Scale: 5
CFG Rescale: 0.5-0.7
Zero SNR: On
Use the following tags to generate images of Marsey:
domestic cat, white fur, orange fur, black eyes, striped tail
Full example prompt:
masterpiece, best quality, marseystyle,
solo, domestic cat, white fur, orange fur, black eyes, striped tail, sitting, :D, blush, black background
<lora:marseystyle:1>
Negative prompt: worst quality, low quality
Some example images (with metadata from reForge UI):
