"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

YOURE NOT DRAWING MISTLETOE!!! YOURE NOT DRAWING MISTLEYOE!!! THATS HOLLY!!!! THE BERRIES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WHITE FOR MISTLETOE!!! THATS HOLLY!!!!! THE BERRIES ARE RED!!!!! NOOOOOOO

EVERYONE GET MORE PASSIONATE AND SELF INDULGENT ABOUT CREATIVITY AND BEING HUMAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.

"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

Anyway

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

It's time for slower art. The constant churn and grind pushed by techno capitalism has reached its inevitable conclusion with AI slop. Let's make our best work and be patient with our process. Let's release art that's worth stopping for and savoring. Let's show each other what humans can do

Your regularly scheduled reminder is that Slay The Princess was Black Tabby's short-form side-project. A showcase in how much reactivity they can cram into a single sitting. Scarlet Hollow is their BIG visual novel and plays the long game on all of your decisions. They WILL matter.

i tell myself im gonna get back into making stuff real soon... only for life to hit me like a truck in an isekai anime 🚚💨 🫠 we'll see what the rest of the year holds for me (hopefully getting back into jamming to de-rust lol) i have been drawing more lately but im not eager to get back to posting 😅

when this happens this is my fav thing btw

After two weeks of research and battling chronic fatigue, I finally managed to put together over 4.4k words about alternative storefronts and platforms where creators can potentially host NSFW and/or Queer works. Hint: There's no real replacement for itchio www.tofu.rocks/2025/08/14/a...

how i'm feeling about this game i'm developing rn

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

stop using chatgpt. i can also use em dashes and lie to you

Bluesky is a great site but you have to unlearn EVERYTHING Twitter has ever taught you to make it useable. Repost yourself. Interact with others. Use tags. Use feeds. Be kind and find kindness. Comment away. It's really really freeing.

Bothered. Cracked skin. Unhappy. Off course. Unfocused. Withering.

it's gross you have to create the thing you created, it's unironically such a pain

Announcing.... Trans Joy Jam 2025, a short game jam about creating a brighter future! Any kind of game or fiction about trans & gender queer identities with an optimistic or happy outlook on the future are accepted 💙 This event runs until February 15th! Sign up: itch.io/jam/trans-jo...

I swear if this DeepSeek thing turns into “this is why we need more of ppl’s work and data for FREE so we can compete with CHINA” BS, instead of what it needs to be, a reveal of how pointless and inept the tech and its peddlers are and have always been, i’m gonna be so pissed.

Even if you do not create/consume/like NSFW media you must speak up for SWs and NSFW creators b/c the criminalizing and banning of it is just another step towards fascism. It will be used to target minority groups, LGBT, etc. and anything deemed "unsanitary" or "degenerate".

unapologetic OC lovers rise up….!!!! #OCsky

i decided to make a banner after all, just feels like i should have one since i made some for all the other years' of the jam😭 you might see these two later on in a new micro vn i've been thinking of making recently😈... but we'll see if i have the time to ever make it! 🥹 #yandere #yanjam25 #vn

The most important advice IMO

Hey, friends, try building your perspective around your figures rather than starting with a perspective grid, it's easier!

You see games very differently when you start making them. From a player's perspective: Mario travels across the Mushroom Kingdom! From a dev's perspective: Mario is banished from the universe when he touches a flagpole. A perfect Mario clone is birthed and dropped into level 2.

"im gay” “im straight” okay and???? I've played these games before?? I said I played these games before??

jayce in the apocalypse crossing the pilt river to find viktor again

this is a bit late for bsky but i am hosting #yanjam again this year! it is a game jam about the yandere/gire archetype in media, hosted over here: itch.io/jam/yanjam25 ! it is very beginner friendly and people on the discord are super chill too if you dont want to work alone! :D #vn #yandere #renpy

A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely. The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.

My wish for everyone in 2025 is that all creators can purge the word "content" from their lexicon you're not making content my friend you are making vlogs, webcomics, sculpture, paintings, crafts, zines, music, etc etc just tell people what you make

No those things are all enjoyable and rewarding. The frustrating bit is having to work 3 jobs to barely keep your head above water and never having time to dedicate to these pursuits

okay this is HUGE??? (clip studio) For lineart specifically (monochrome stuff), if your layer is in "color" mode, liquify tool will most likely blur it during transformation... If you set it to "monochrome" first, IT STAYS CRISPY 🤯🤯🤯
