Remember! Unless a generative AI company is making its own database resources or going around and getting licenses from real artists, then their whole business model is based in theft! Most Gen AI isn’t innovative, it’s lazy, illegal and for trend chasers who can’t even make products

I interviewed Jakob Wahlberg for the first episode of Indie Game Garden. We talked about what it takes to make games with heart. You can find it on your podcatcher of choice by searching "indie game garden." Super excited for this project! Thanks, @jakobwahlberg.bsky.social :)

vita is life @intothecast.bsky.social

It’s taken me a while to get to this one, but time for me to believe the hype. Never seen a deckbuilder as stylish as Wildfrost!

don’t get why people are so hyped for silksong. game’s gonna have a ton of bugs.

These guys are dope — check them out

Google's AI summaries are - killing traffic to legitimate sites - producing summaries that can be wrong - in the long run probably making you a dumbass www.404media.co/googles-ai-i...

@r-condon.bsky.social mind if I snag an invite to your discord? The link I found on your profile said I didn't have access

Just finished @wnwagner.bsky.social’s Girl in the Creek. It’s a gory, exceedingly fun read. Got to the point where I had to devour the last third in one sitting. It’s also a love letter to the Pacific Northwest. Makes me feel honored to walk in these woods! Definitely pick up a copy in July 🍄 🌲

BREAKING: The internet made this eerily accurate portrait of me (look at that smile!)

Buried deep in a thread is the intersection of my media loves — the podcaster I pretty much exclusively listen to is gaming. I’m writing short stories, and the world’s exploding. Things are bleak! (and beautiful)

So fun catching up with @wnwagner.bsky.social at Emerald City Comic Con. We love an impromptu @talkscaredpod.bsky.social meet-up. Couldn’t be happier — thanks for the book and the signing, Wendy! (Loving the new sweatshirt, too, Neil)

Resolutions are HEALTHY

Wrapped season has me feeling grateful for @talkscaredpod.bsky.social — it’s been a writing community unto itself during my move to Seattle, and Neil is just a gem. Keep up the good work, friend!

Great to see this spotlight on Sam Dyer and the amazing stuff that @bitmapbooks.com does in this @gibiz.bsky.social article! Great stuff @darthmalks.bsky.social! Thanks for celebrating video game literature ❤️

So excited to say that I was able to publish another piece with @gibiz.bsky.social! @mariedeal.bsky.social is the best editor I've ever worked with, and it's an honor to collaborate each time. This one's about BOOKS :) www.gamesindustry.biz/sam-dyer-pre...

My first review of a game I really didn’t like. Glad to be here, and thank you so much @startmenu.bsky.social for letting me dig in and say how I really feel :)
