imo the aspect of ai like "prompting images with <artist name> to make things in their style" is _rude_, and insulting to that artist, but the thing that makes the modern ai stuff actually _evil_ is that it's an attempt for capital to instrumentalize all culture & destroy labor as a concept

ai is really just all the softeare corps ideologically comitted to capturing free labor via open source and ai is no different in their mind. labor is something thats given to them to use in their walled gardens, and you're morally wrong not to give it to them.

this month i decided to try drawing a bunch of test character sprites for my game. i'm on pace for 'one front & back sprite per day'! i'd feel like all the tiny animal sprites was cheating a little if not for the fact that they're likely to be the most actually useful in game

i'm always a bit on-the-fence about how explicit or sexual i should make my game, but every time i hear about yet another platform categorically banning anything that dares mention sex the more weight i put on the side of 'it needs to be obscenely explicit pornography actually'

throwing together a few more sprite sketches for my game. the real challenge for any of these is also drawing any kind of comprehensible walk/run animation

shadowmapppp it's still glitchy and incomplete but i'm very proud that it's anything shadow-looking

oh i didn't even realize bluesky defaults to dms only from people you're following. it's always kind of goofy to me when i see social media sites try so hard to stop people from talking, but i imagine my perspective as somebody with uh 100 followers is very different from somebody with 100k

anyway i got better day/night transitions + the radial light code working with the day/night palettes. so that's neat!

god i'm so abysmal at drawing back muscles. i have all these character sprites with decent front sprites and then the back sprite is just like. puddles.

Yessir. I also go freshwater swimming with my phone, takes great underwater pictures. Just not when the battery has expanded and popped the seal after spending an hour in the sun.

ported over some of my simple random dungeon generation code from haskell to javascript for my game. these aren't really exciting to look at & would almost certainly not be fun to play, but it's a start, considering that currently the 'cave layer' in my game […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

I guess i should post somethin'. I've been workin' on and off again on this little fps #gay #gaymedev #gamedev

does anybody still play MUDs anymore. i've always been tempted to try to do something rpg-ish with some lamdamoo core but that's one of the things where you really can just pick away at it for years without any real purpose

anyway i finished the next chapter of the ff8 fic. zell/raijin. it's porn. archiveofourown.org/works/30270132

the little 🛈 Rude thing bluesky does is the most farcical modding i've ever seen anywhere

pausing stops the game time from incrementing, and everything else works in terms of game time elapsed. EXCEPT for a while 'animation time' wasn't connected to game time, so people would start walking in place or w/e if they were in that animation when the game was paused.

trump is dying and he wants the whole world to be buried with him

on ao3 it's very funny to compare public bookmarks vs. total bookmarks. the ratio being a taboo index of 'how ashamed are people to visibly bookmark this'

it's wild the degree to which LLM stuff is all just pretty-please asking the markov chainer to do it right. i think nostalgebraist-autoresponder (the tumblr chatbot) set my bar high b/c that was a project that took a base model, fine-tuned it on a hand-curated & consistently-formatted dataset...

i'm watching an ff8 longplay for reference and the person playing really sucks at triple triad

anyway i posted another chapter of my ff8 tf porn archiveofourown.org/works/30270132 this is kind of an interstitial chapter that grew way too big, so expect the chapter after this within, like, a week

as we've seen a million times, right-wingers don't actually abstain from the sexual expression they disapprove of. they want pornographers, trans people, etc, to be an underclass that they're free to exploit, while they maintain institutional power to prevent themselves from ever being grouped with

i'm working on some original fiction and so far the response from people i've shown the draft to has been like "wow there's an awful lot of worldbuilding in this" and unfortunately my response has been to add even more worldbuilding. just you know. ideally somewhat better-paced

so i've finally gotten so much of the Engine Stuff done to where i'm now thinking about like... npcs & npcs scheduling & characters & writing dialog for all of that. you know, game stuff! instead of code stuff

i can't believe how stupid the modern geopolitical landscape is

I was seeing the shit brewing underneath the service wrt substar but I was not expecting 'human-like knee orientation'

when i was playing horticular one of the things i found kind of infuriating was that there's no depth to the landscape; water is just blue ground and deep water is just darker blue ground...

finally gave proper material values to all the sticks and blocks so there are no longer weird white outlines everywhere. it's a step!! #gamedev

i finally started working on this again and made another big step towards removing all the hardcoded spritesheet information. one day all of these will be data files and separate images instead of premade atlases in the mean time though i accidentally turned […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

i've been considering working on that werewolf detective twine game i wrote part of back c. ~2020 (tzaphiriron.sidemoon.net/static/text/...) and it's like, okay yes this is very bloodborne-inspired but actually i don't really like the fromsoft house style that much

Hey fam can we create a new alternative to Discord but it's a text-based MUD where you have to navigate the channels on foot by walking to the different rooms and chatting with the other players. Level up your character. learn some new spells. Make friends. Have fun.

i do think it's funny when people introduce dwarf fortress as "a game in active development for over 20 years". yea so is world of warcraft. the duration is notable but not really the important part. tho that gets into the question of how to really capture what the important part is

i am fundraising for the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund at the link below! should be live all day 🐋 twitch.tv/shaun_vids

saw a post i liked on tumblr today.....didnt see that they'd posted it on their account here but i wish they would its a sentiment that resonated w me more than making "good" art it's just important to make art....thanks man

i do think it would be very funny to write a highguard fanfic that takes w/e the setting & story is completely seriously also maybe have them get fucked by their horses, w/e

after living in whittier for like 15 years it's very strange to be seeing all this coverage now from so far away

the people united will never be defeated!

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

anyway i also posted the first two chapters of voidgate hunter to ao3 archiveofourown.org/works/78171901 (it's porn) it's ~original fiction~. there's a weird dog with a lot of tentacles.

:toot: i finally finished that ff7 barret/rude fic! archiveofourown.org/works/78142466 (it's porn)

the other day i was with a friend & a friend of a friend and they were like "oh yeah i've been playing this old game uhh breath of fire 3" and my friend gave me a knowing look and was like "well that could start a whole other conversation" and first of all okay i have some sense of propriety here

huh sofurry is back up. well then.

my exercise routine is whenever i see something that makes me feel anxious about my body i do some situps or pushups or pullups or w/e, & my abs have never been stronger. unfortunately.

surviving my first winter in vintage story. the streamer i watched was trying to keep like a dozen people fed and kept running out of food & firewood and so i maybe overprepared for my solitary winter
