- cool to read article on videogame motion capture for sex scenes... I've heard fun anecdotes while on shoots but only ever worked on conversation and action stuff myself
- Reposted by freyai'm so thrilled to share this piece on how video game sex scenes are made — and even more thrilled to see it on @404media.co!!! sex has been a part of games across its history, but often to provoke to as a joke. others are trying something different:
- very very excited to have @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social on @404media.co this morning! www.404media.co/how-video-ga...
- thinking on "game dev villain" and it makes me think of stuff like the "rewarded for failure" loop you get in stuff like smut games with sexual game overs. "rewarding for failure not success" is such antithesis to mainstream game design... but it's good
- getting on the gamedev villains shortlist
- had dentist appointment this morning... usually having two women stick their fingers in my mouth is fun. not this time
- Reposted by freyaEmployees who use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini at work face negative judgments about their competence and motivation from colleagues and managers, according to a new study.
- Reposted by freyaLearning that X is poisoning an almost-entirely Black community with natural gas fumes so groypers can tell Grok to undress random women is a perfect metaphor for the tech industry and how it turns human bodies back into extractive industry. Also: we should do public executions, I think.

- enjoying Skin Deep a lot. if I could draw I would do fanart of Nina carrying five different bickering skullsavers around with her while desperately hunting down the airlock code to get rid of them
- i gotta get some new ebooks for my kindle... i know a bunch of you read/write so throw me some recommendations. preference for scifi, bonus points for transgender &/or fucked up
- always feels a little bad seeing someone add victim doll to a lesbian/yuri/etc collection on itchio before they've played it... sorry buddy... i know its usually a safe bet for my games but this one's straight... the sequel has a mixture though. gotta keep the scales balanced
- writing expressive dialogue is my passion
- i used to pull my punches a bit writing out of caution, and then i wrote GWAP in a single feverish blur and self-convinced myself to throw caution to the wind. i think everything ive done since has been better for that intentional squashing of self awareness (or embracing and leaning into of it)
- this is making me think about the take i saw ages ago from a trans woman who said she can't stand most erotica from queer creatives because it's always too cautiously self-aware of The Injustices Of The World that it's never as enjoyably fucked up as when made by some Guy who is blind to everything.
- Reposted by freyathis is basically stealing from a meme either @starshine.bsky.social or @gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social or @sharonk.bsky.social made but I had to do it

- with itch getting slammed by ai scrapers a bunch recently, seeing this kinda traffic spike has turned from "oh cool someone went sickos mode and downloaded a bunch of my games" to "fucksake some training set somewhere is copying my stuff"... ruins everything
- rewatched apocalypse now. don't make em like that anymore
- performance review season at work is always fun because I get to hear my bosses give me compliments like "attack dog"
- here we fuckin go

- as heatwaves and summer both approach, one of the few upsides of having misshapen underperforming blood becomes relevant again; mosquitos, midges etc don't bite me much. unpalatable I guess

- figured out a plot point i'd been stuck on for months in 4MDD... hell yeah. writing resumes
- came down with a cold on return from holiday so I have been basically doing nothing but play Foundation while being congested. Look at my 300 person town im very proud of it
