Obviously welcome GW's recent comments against the use of genAI. I presume the real reason is that someone showed James Workshop some Men of Iron lore, he took it as fact, and made the only sane decision he could - a hard pass on the whole thing.

Smart action embraces the idea that you cannot know everything, and leans into curiosity, interest and generosity. Smart identity cannot live in a world without their specialness, and so must become a victim, and in doing so dismiss anything that might cause discomfort. This sucks to live through.

You heard them. #Fuck.ai and let Discord know you don't want this shit polluting a space for people to be people together.

I would really caution anyone against implying that paywalling this feature is a legitimate response to public outcry. The paywall is an endorsement, not a restriction. Musk is saying "this thing you're all talking about is valuable. Pay me for it." The actual material effect is just monetization.

I've finished the prologue of this game of life, and can finally start things proper - that's right, it's my 40th birthday! I don't have things to share, but I love seeing what you're all working on. Go ahead and use this thread to brag, boast, and big up whatever your current project is #selfpromo

Delete that shit right now friends.

@owlcatgames.bsky.social Any genAI is too much genAI. I backed Kingmaker on Kickstarter, bought Wrath of the Righteous and Rogue Trader, and was considering preordering Dark Heresy. You won't get one red cent out of me for DH if you continue using genAI anywhere in your workflow. #NoAI

My favourite thing about following artists on Bluesky is that they're great at reposting _other_ artists, which fills my feed with awesome art and shows me more artists to follow, who repost even more artists. I love seeing the support, but I especially love seeing all the incredible art 😅

Game designers who "can't draw" but want art for prototypes... beyond the wealth of public domain stuff available (there's lots) there are artists who make stuff that's VERY affordable and Itch has a ton on sale right now. #NoGenAI itch.io/game-assets/...

Creative solidarity means: If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover" If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references" If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc. Never help AI steal another medium No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

Svennnnnn...! My wife and I played DOS and DOS2 to death. She bought me BG3 on release day as an anniversary gift. I was _hyped_ about the Divinity announcement. And just like that...I'm not. Right now, I'm a lost customer. I hope Larian can win me back with serious corrective steps, but who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'd like to say a couple of things about UKGE and their silence in regards to the whole AI debacle. I'll start with a disclaimer: I know UKGE is a HUGE opportunity for many small businesses and publishers, and in the current unstable financial situation we're all in, skipping it because of ethical>

Come get your paintings for your games! (And help me share if you can) Thanks!

The 10 years of Tide celebration is far from over! Seize the opportunity to get new friends into the rat-slaying hobby. That's right, anyone who downloads Vermintide 2 on Steam this weekend gets to keep it forever, in perpetuity, until the end times! #warhammer #fantasy #steam #freetokeep

Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt. . Here’s why, and what you can do if you want to remove this: buff.ly/MlAq0rL

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

From the vantage of someone who's been playing VtM for 25 years and was 18 when Bloodlines came out...I'm having a good time with BL2. I'm intrigued by the story and telekinesis is consistently hilarious. Thanks to @thechineseroom.co.uk for getting it over the line! Now...Bloodlines 3 when? 😉🧛‍♂️

Been dying to try Soulbound by @cubicle7games.bsky.social for years. Now my solo journey has started with MythicGME by @tanapigeonwmg.bsky.social I have the chance! But I can't shake the Binding idea of a Soulrender and Necromancer modelled on Statler and Waldorf 😂😭

Over 5,000 slop accounts blocked now. These are accounts that primarily post slop. Randos that post one piece of cringe a month don't get added to this, so it's fairly permissive, but will still wipe a significant chunk of slop from bsky. bsky.app/profile/did:...

are you an artist who takes TTRPG character commissions? would you like to be in a starter pack? let me know below! 🫶🏻 I'm hoping to put this together in the next few days~ 🩷 #DnD #SupportArtists

The Nighthawks demo has arrived! During Steam Next Fest, seize the night as a modern monster, stepping out of the shadows to build a thriving nightclub empire through fear, seduction, and forbidden supernatural gifts. Your second life begins tonight! store.steampowered.com/app/1221950/...

My @worldofdarkness.bsky.social arc is thinking I was a Tremere when I was 15 and realising as I approach 40 that I might be a Brujah.

#OtD 4 Oct 1936 the Battle of Cable St took place when Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists tried to march through East London. They were met by over 100k local workers who fought the blackshirts and the police protecting them, stopping the march workingclasshistory.com/2020/02/17/e...

If you see this, QTP with a gif of a vampire that isn't Dracula 🦇

Quote with a gift you can hear.

@swantower.bsky.social I just wanted to give you some feedback you've probably heard a million times: Sekken and Ryōtora are infuriating dopes and I love them for it 😂 Read Night Parade and now solidly into A Game of 100 Candles and your POV switching is shout-at-the-telly maddening/compelling 🤌🏻

Luuna absolutely killed this piece, and my wife was so thrilled she wants me to run a high-level campaign so she can bring Merisiel out of retirement 😂 Luuna was also a lovely person to work with throughout and I sincerely hope to give her some money for more art soon ☺️

I've been reading the Aconyte L5R novels, and have reached To Chart the Clouds by @evandicken.bsky.social. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the novels so far, and mean no shade to the other authors, but Evan's characters are a masterclass, absolutely sublimely written.

The joys of taking a family holiday: turning off your 7am alarm so you can set a new one for 2:30am. Relaxation ACTIVATED.

Hey Bsky! I’m hosting a milestone art giveaway; winner receives a halfbody traditional ink drawing of your OC! Optionally, I’ll snail mail you the hard copy. To enter: be following + repost this post; live ‘til Aug. 9! Thank you for helping me get this far! I’ll work hard to prove myself to you 💜

We've launched a GoFundMe campaign so we can defend our property in the Diamond bankruptcy case. The full story is at the link but basically, Diamond is trying to take consignment inventory that they don't own and sell it to pay big creditors. TY for help and shares! www.gofundme.com/f/support-gr...

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

Finished Curse of Honor by David Annandale last night. My first real exposure to @fantasyflightgames.bsky.social Legend of the Five Rings setting. Unfortunately the book was excellent and I now have to spend all my money on L5R stuff I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

Midnight launches hit a bit different when you're pushing 40, have to get up with a 2yo in the morning, and are only there to save taxi fare because your wife needs the car on launch day 😂 Still, at least I can ease my tiredness by playing #MarioKartWorld... after work 😭

Trey's anger and hurt in this video really resonated with me. "Music only has value because a human created it" feels like such an obvious truth, but here we are. Keep AI out of creative endeavour. m.youtube.com/watch?v=gAeB...

Unsubscribed from a #writing list I followed for almost 10 years because they've created a course for using GenAI to design your book cover. Miss me with that. I couldn't afford an editor for my book, but I did fork out for a person to do my cover because, y'know, I wanted my book to have a soul.

Watched ep1 of Adolescence last night. I mostly stay in my lane of fantasy and sci-fi, but I have a 2yo son and holy shit did that hour hit different. I hated pretty much every second of it and am terrified to watch the rest of it (which I absolutely will).

Best Star Trek crew. Wrong answers only.

Possibly a lukewarm take, but Arkhan the Black is the most relatable #AgeOfSigmar character. Nagash is a deranged, megalomaniac boss with "a vision", and Arkhan is the schmuck who has to do the actual work. All may be one in Nagash, but we are all Arkhan.

I finally decided to start cultivating more and more this platform since Twitter has become a major contributor to the worsening of my mental health sooo... can I ask you to help me building back here some visibility? I make colorful maps with lots of detail, thanks if you want to share them! 🙏

Not my home, but I know my way around.

"Say what you see."

Similarly a bulk purchase with my 14th birthday money. Repost with the first album(s) you bought with your own money.

Post something purple. The first mini I painted in over 15 years. Had to remind myself how to hold a brush, even 😅

These are absolutely sick, in both senses of the word 🤘🏻

I'm not sure about Bluesky etiquette, but I didn't want to hijack the original post with my dumb tangential thought on this point 😅 I'm not a huge fan of the in-world Primaris situation, but I think I would enjoy the narrative more if a few famous SM characters died crossing the Rubicon.

To my fellow Brits, our government's push to make AI a huge part of British commerce threatens our creative livelihoods. A signature may not seem like a lot, but if enough of us stand up, it might make our government consider how they implement new AI policies. www.aitrainingstatement.org
