Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art" There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept. You're using ai for concept art.

I've seen lots of acceleration due to the use of AI: acceleration of inequality, acceleration of climate catastrophe, acceleration of slop, acceleration of trust collapse, acceleration of scams, acceleration of model collapsed acceleration of misinformation, acceleration of drought

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO NOT USE AI? PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING GAMES WITHOUT IT FOR YEARS

The process is the fun part. Throwing shit at the wall with your colleagues is where the growth happens. The journey of distilling many ideas and iterations into something tightly focused and beautiful is what I enjoy. The frustrations are part of the growth. AI strips you of that.

I'm so tired of the artist's profession being treated as something unimportant and easily replaceable. “We're just using genAI for concept art, trust me, it'll be live actors!” I mean, yeah, artists aren't really people, so we shouldn't pay them or respect what they do... sigh

Do not download Hogwarts Legacy on the Epic Games Store. I do not care if it’s free. Slungus

Can’t believe Geoff Keighley fucked Ms Piggy before I did.

Can't believe I'll never be able to look at Miss Piggy again without thinking Geoff Keighley fucked Miss Piggy in Bora Bora.

Consider the following before adopting a Manticore for your family

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

It's Bram Stoker's birthday so may we all honor his legacy by making even hornier and gayer vampires.

If anyone has extra dollars and can help my dear friends, please do — they're SO close to their goal. Thank you ❤️

i think people should give lesbians more money. link unrelated. (seriously though anni and v are almost at their goal to pay rent for this month, if you have anything spare dollars to send their way, both they and i would greatly appreciate it) www.gofundme.com/f/support-an...

New awareness campaign

It makes me very upset when i find out a family member or a friend of mine is using AI or chatGPT 🙃 Found out tonight that my sister uses it for work…

Scraping everything together we possibly can, My wife and I are only 100 dollars away from being able to pay rent. If anyone could please share this again it would mean the world to us 🧡

I know every year has so much loss and suffering, but this year is feeling extremely brutal and seems to be impacting myself and my close circles harder than other years. It’s not fair, it’ll never be fair, and I wish that everyone could just have a fucking break and a moment to breathe.

My family is on #SNAP benefits and we don’t know how we’re gonna pay rent or bills, let alone eat, this coming month, so if you have anything please donate or help share the post

My wife and I are very close to being able to pay rent, please share and donate if you can 🧡

gofund.me/567360921 Hello little gay people in my phone. A share or anything is all I’m looking for.

Having a really rough time rn, my wife got sick and loosing out on work days while being low-income and paying for 2 people (I can’t legally work yet) means that we have to once again ask for help. As much as I don’t want to do this, I sadly do have to ask for help

I GOT HIRED FOR A LOCAL SEASONAL JOB!!!!!! FINALLY! WORK! 😭🙏🎉 While it may not be a game industry job, I'm thankful for the opportunity to recenter & have some stability. I'll be leaving this GFM up for the next day or so, & I'm eternally grateful for all the support already given. Thank you ❤️

‼️URGENT NEED OF RENT/BILL ASSISTANCE‼️ gofund.me/f92d245c6 I'm exhausted. I don't want to post something like this again. But here I am. Still looking for work. Sigh. Thank you for any advice, interactions, shares, & donations. Still rooting for everyone to come out on top of all this devastation❤️

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

‼️⚠️ STILL LOOKING FOR WORK & IN NEED OF HELP ⚠️‼️I'm at my wits' end. Even 'survival jobs' haven't gotten back to me. Overdrafted, overdue, & rent is coming up fast. If you're comfortable enough to help, please. If you have leads on jobs, PLEASE. Thank you. 🌺 ko-fi.com/kocobo | 🌺 paypal.me/kmarrero22

Just a reminder, banning porn doesn't just mean going after OnlyFans or Pornhub. It also means banning written erotica. Smutty voice audios. Video games with sexual content. Your favorite romantasy novels. Fetish photography. Erotic art. It's never just about pornographic films.

Stripe says it’s accepting payments for LGBTQ content JVA site starts working with Visa again Mastercard reportedly panicking and making Riot moderate messages The tide is turning We are going to win this Keep calling Keep writing Keep fighting You can do this

got a bit carried away answering an anon about the recent wave of censorship hitting nsfw games and art, but i think i got my point across.

This is why it's so important that we keep the pressure on. What we lack in money and powerful friends we make up for in our numbers and loudness. They want everything so we must give them nothing now.

Apparently ICE is about to start putting out ads on platforms? If these ads come to Twitch, here's a (hopefully) handy tip when one comes on: 1. Click the gear icon, bottom right of the player. 2. Click "Report Playback Issue". 3. Select this option. Hopefully this will work!

ARE Y’ALL GOING TO STOP USING AI NOW? www.wired.com/story/openai...

Had a rough friendship breakup about 2 months ago and besides all the trauma and stress I’m now hoofing a 3500 dollar bill because of damages to the last apartment/ leasing breaking fees - there’s always fucking something

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" Well I asked Siegward of Catarina from the atmospheric FromSoft action RPG Dark Souls 3 and he said "Hmm... Mmmmmm... Hmm... Mmm..."

Update: I just big cried. I was initially responsible for laying out the 1st mission in Edge of Fate before my layoff, & to my surprise, the skeletons of everything I helped with, especially the cinematics, stayed relatively the same, just with updated lines (I'd only done like 2 early drafts) 😭❤️

I wrote this column and I'll just say that the original headline was much meaner. The piece itself, though, is still very angry and very mean, I assure you.
