Some vague things I wanna try to write about starting next year, alongside working on Geilt (I have more fleshed out concepts for these but ion wanna share yet): - cryptids & nature preservation - card games & perfectionism - state-sponsored religious oppression 2025 had hands. 2026 will be better.

no seriously this is totally worth how much the first part of chapter 2 dragged, you should push through it, this fucking owns

I made things you can buy from wormgirl!!! Goooooooo gooo goo go

as a lesbian, I love when women have tired eyes and eyebags. as a feminist, I think the root causes of those conditions like working late must be eliminated. these two sides struggle for dominanc- wwoah wait lemme watch tthis

Man so many classics I’m glad he reposted these

I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists. GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters. Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

Guy who's only ever seen Boss Baby

It actually pisses me the fuck off. Gaming journalism is sloppy shit. This game looks great, is a remake of a game I've been told is a fan favorite in the series, and yet it'll only be lambasted for having an active parry mechanic in a turn-based RPG, something Exped33 cannot claim to invent.

it is objectively good that rance is coming to steam but it makes the horses debacle even sillier

Underrated point of discussion with the AI + social media uproar is giving thanks to patrons of the arts, especially non-artists, who are willing to put in the effort to support artists at a time when it has never been easier or more normalized to do the opposite.

Brother, this isn't the lost dead sea scrolls, the original game is literally on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1621680/...

I really hate how games media handles anything out of China: www.thegamer.com/clair-obscur... We're getting a gorgeous remake of one of their best RPGs ever, but the clown does zero research about it and just goes "I'm getting a lot of Boss Baby vibes from this..."

Probably goes along well with this article... ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will-...

Hi everyone! I’m seeking a new role and would appreciate your support. I’m looking for Illustrator, Animator, Concept Artist, and Art Director roles. Anything with a 2D pipeline, I'm good at it, and I ship games. I have a classical painting background and 20 years of stylized art experience

I did some retooling of the story today and it is much easier to write when I'm actually writing my own shit and not trying to be someone else. Kinda crazy, they should tell people this.

@rittzler.bsky.social (creator of Pseudoregalia), has had their Discord and email hacked and is linking to a virus in disguise. If you see anything linking to a game called "Furfall", DO NOT engage with it. It's not made by Rittz and isn't a real game (it's a Remote Access Trojan) DO NOT CLICK IT.

Heading into 2026, I'm still looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com

It’s not generating ‘ideas’ to interact with you; it’s generating linguistic patterns. Have some self-respect

I'm still very much in need of a project. I'm expensive and worth it

My first industry party was at the Rockstar office in NYC. I hung out with a group of guys and we did Solid Snake impressions for a hour. Two months later, one of them got a journalist gig at a major outlet and wanted to chat me about my work. You never know where your opportunities will come from.

dont forget that next to or more so than being a ai hater you have to be a people lover because if you marinate yourself in hate alll day without inspring and being inspired by what you and others can do by skill and determination your soul will turn to tar

"but how do I get in with famous people today!" It's easy! Just have started your career a decade ago. Next question.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question: Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends. Make. Friends.

@kim-hu.com made this btw

Might do a small narrated Elin playthrough in the new year. I miss playing it. I just wanna be a hillfolk farmer with a gun again.

The Escapist accused Blue Prince developer Dogubomb of using generative AI. This is patently false and an utterly gross accusation. The story has since been amended, but the damage has been done. You can search out the current version if you want, but here’s the original. archive.ph/CKiOB

I dunno who needs to hear this but using AI at your Early Concept phase, or for ideation, is literally the worst place to deploy it It isn't creative, what it does is hand back tropes. That's what the model does: sift for likely responses to an input It's like building your foundation out of memes

1/5 Seeing some tech/ai slop accounts online claiming that AI has always been used in games, pretending GenAi is a part of that, when its absolutely not. Yes, AI has always been a part of games in: NPC behaviors, Data Mining, PCG’s (Procedural Content Generation) etc All different from GenAi!

easy to feel demoralised seeing all these game company CEOs talking about genAI but remember a bunch of rich people will lose a lot if we don’t suddenly develop an unquenchable appetite for slop so they’re actually the ones on the back foot and have every incentive to lie about everything

Well, for a few days, I'll just be blunt and direct when it comes to my situation: I lost both of my jobs, haven't found a new one, and next month the bank is going to fuck me over if I don't pay at least something. Any help is appreciated...! #TransCrowdfund #MutualAid ko-fi.com/1ksteps/goal...

Generative AI is a poison that kills everything it touches all so people who are already rich get to be richer while you have to be poorer

officially no longer using twitter to post art or anything promoting related unless the tos magically gets better somehow (the fuck you mean elon now can use art royalty free with no permission or even sell it off??)

Kazuo Umezu believed children were more adaptable than adults in horrific situations because adults have rigid views of reality & break when those conceptions are shattered. In Drifting Classroom a boy imagines himself as a chair to remain perfectly still while a monster who detects motion hunts him

And, perhaps, that's why it'll never happen. I don't have the ambition required to step on others for the sake of capitalism. I can't do that.

This is to say, I don't want to be rich — I just want to be wealthy enough that I can hire the struggling homies to make sure they're not struggling and can create without fear.

I have so many talented people on my bsky feed looking for jobs and if I were a bit richer I'd hire them to help me. It really sucks being paid poverty wages to do something incredibly important for large numbers of people's survival.

I realize, of course, that the disgusting process of extruding raw thought into grammar ("writing") often reveals the contents of one's skull as a foetid mass of unresolved trauma and resentment. Nevertheless, I feel I should receive temporary immunity when volunteering to write a 500-word essay.
