#junicorn day 20 ‘burnout’

Matthew Butterick’s Extinction-Level Capitalism: A Citizen’s Thoughts on AI Risk matthewbutterick.com/extinction-l... In my world Butterick is foremost the typographer who created the lovely font on my site. But he’s also a lawyer: co-counsel on various class action lawsuits against LLM vendors.

Bad gender feels today and i don't know what would actually help. I kind of just want to throw up? Somehow this feels appropriate for pride month, like sometimes this is just the way it is

I think we should use the boo box from Hook as a punishment more often

Anyway I'm just going to say it outright: if you're an indie dev using AI for coding, above and beyond any other objections, what you're telling me is that you have no solidarity with anyone else in games. Not artists, not writers, not other coders. You beleive in personal convenience at all costs.

Thomas House of Dublin exhibiting the pro-human solidarity that all of us should demonstrate.

Salvinia looks pretty happy! I kind of like it even more than the carnivorous plants haha, it's so cute The water though is getting truly gross. I know it's supposed to be, I'm making a little shallow swamp, but ew lol. Things keep drowning and dying in it, which, alright, accurate

Happy Juneteenth! It costs 0$ to repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. I sell pins, compression gloves, artist gloves, back braces, knee braces, wrist braces, compression socks, cute bags & more! Store: Bibipins.com

It's been almost ten years since he last starred in a game. I hear he flips houses now.

✨JUNETEENTH MUTUAL AID THREAD ✨ Here’s a thread with Black folks you can support in celebration of #Juneteenth. Do some good - even if you’re sending $3 to a Black person to treat themselves to a dessert or a coffee! Circulate & give to at least one person in the thread if you have the means 💜

Street Fighter - A New Challenger

NASA's galley of the first capture of supersonic shockwaves in flight using Schlieren photography: www.nasa.gov/gallery/schl... Two T-38s in formation flew under a B-200 at 9.1 km altitude equipped with special cameras.

I LOCKED IN last night and finially drew the borders on this, love u solstice cat :3

The Asian Pacific American Librarians Association (APALA) is collaborating w/ the Graphic Novels & Comics Round Table (GNCRT) to create an annotated core list of Asian Pacific Islander American (APIA) graphic novels highlighting APIA voices across all age groups. @apalaweb.org @libcomix.bsky.social

I'm in

Delighted to have had a few more sign-ups in the last week - if you've been thinking about taking these classes, now's the time! Less than two weeks left to get the discounted rate for these classes - $200 instead of $250. That's just $40 per class, which, if I do say so myself, is a bargain.

Do you hear the call to put on a black robe, go north and groan? If so, you may be Sephiroth-brained, and the only cure is to pick up a copy of our zine which ALSO has many fine bundle options They did a preview graphic for me and everything, ooo we love a well run zine @gloriosazine.bsky.social

hey, this is a fairly nerdy news item, but you should absolutely know about it. (looks like there are links in other posts in the thread.) the Post Office is really contemplating not delivering ballots unless states expose their voters' data to DOJ. I hate saying read that again but, read it again

I haven't used watercolors properly in like a million years but i saw a little Sennelier set and wanted to see if they're as good as their oil colors. Anyway i wanna keep my desk clean so i picked up a little mat at hmart and i love it so much, just a solid block of lorem ipsum hahahaha

If another person today tells me that i need to use AI I will invert my stomach out my mouth like a starfish

LRT Colors was released on the Switch with a really interesting method of making a pressure sensitive stylus, but something about the DS's handheld nature made it so much better for the purpose even despite the smaller screen imo. I remember concept artists at big huge using them for Dr Sketchy

This is a fun article I participated in about the NDS art creation scene! Check out how my NDS ended up on display in a museum…

don't let me search "Arslan" on ebay after midnight

america is an ideal worth fighting for

whenever anyone I know admits to using ChatGPT this appears above my head

Calvin and Hobbes strip that says it quite well;

Never pass up a chance to share this story. There's always someone who hasn't heard it, always someone waiting to experience the joy of reading about it for the first time.

Game devs have been the kindest, most passionate, most generous people I've ever had the honor of working with, making friends with, and what's happening now is nothing short of cruelty. It's never been GREAT but it was never this bad

A reminder with #SteamNextFest starting: You SHOULD install the extensions that pop up the AI Disclosure in Steam and ignore any game with it.

if any Xbox employee from any studio or part of the company want to chat with a reporter about all this, anonymously or otherwise, my email and Signal are in my bio, and I would like to listen. I cannot fathom what everyone must be feeling right now.

if anyone tries to tell you that all creatives use AI now, here is a grid I am making in mspaint to keep track of the colors I need to use to consistently represent specific depths of water based on the surrounding terrain, specifically designed for the built-in tileset system in RPG maker

imagine being at MSG watching the Knicks and mfkin James Gurney is next to you, pulls out his plein air gouache set, and just breezily pumps out this masterpiece. like wtf

If anyone is looking to hire a Peabody and BAFTA winning senior writer, I am looking for work. I’ve got six years experience in games. Everything from indie to AAA. I am not married to staying in games. I am hoping to relocate to the Bay Area. I am keeping my ears to the ground.

I do not want to be at work, i want to go home and get good at street fighter or something

it is really important to be loud about this stuff because it's typically kept very quiet to enable people to go "See? Nothing happened, it was just people being dramatic"
