It's funny how AI slop has gotten me to be okay with not being perfect at my art. Like, who cares. It's my journey. My voice. You want perfect, you got options. I'll be over here being weird and having fun.

Today marks the first year since I started playing #FFXIV which just a few months in became one of my favourite narrative experiences not just in games, but media overall - letting me reconnect with old friends while making new ones, and also reigniting my love for art and music.

If there's anything the AI is doing for me is that the genAI content flooding my timelines makes me want to spend less time on social media as a whole.

"Sorry, there's just no money for new projects" "we have to lay off hundreds of people to cut costs" "that show/game/studio has been canceled and closed due to lack of profits"

Ah, CloverPit. For once I feel like I'm playing a number go up game for employed people. Might play around with some... more intriguing achievements, but otherwise I'm pretty satisfied ~10 hours in!

one brings shadow, one brings light

Dipping below 75kg for the first time for long years would make me happier if being sick didn't contribute... But hey, we can make a lapse in health into something useful, too!

Just a few year's late I'm finally getting a turntable at my place here AND I get to try it out with @edharrison.bsky.social goodness that just came in the mail. Now reliving some major NEOTOKYO nostalgia, in my living room...

How about one more little adventure...!

I think that as an indie game dev without a large publisher, your target audience is not gamers in general, it is sickos. It's hardcore sickos that will be diving the depths of your genre and finding your game, and it is sickos who will be spreading it. Please the passionate, not the masses.

Tonight I have finally wrapped up Endwalker for good and this is the moment where I lost my sprout status. I'll miss my🌱...

really good write-up of this whole situation with payment processors enabling right-wing censorship of adult games www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Friendly fire for @ramkapi.bsky.social! I had way too much fun with this one 💙

I'm being put in a crystal this year! #artfight #artfight2025

Made a big push last night and after many, many tears I've now finished the main part of Endwalker. This one is staying with me for a while.

www.gofundme.com/f/help-vivi-... A good Monday to all! I was trying to exhaust all my other options, but I'm at the point where I can no longer wait. I made a GoFundMe to hopefully catch me up with rent so I don't get evicted. Please, if you can spare or share, I'd really appreciate it so much

In spite of everything, you've come this far.

@tofu93rambles.bsky.social Happy Birthday you special bean! 🎂

Some scribbles of my FFXIV bean I've done past month, because with how engrossed I've been in the game recently, at the very least it's making me think of drawing again.

Bringing back plushieposting because Tassha is here, cleaving one side!! (of my funny shelf space) #RabbitAndSteel

I’ve been working on Orpheus’s lyre since January 2024, and it took me a solid 3 months to finish this prop! I wanted to challenge myself with something more complex, and honestly, I think it turned out pretty great! The base is made from EVA foam, and the faces and details are done with foam clay.

Time to be annoying and draft my friends to the jam war once more

@antonhand.bsky.social Happy Birthday Anton!!

Everyone should read this, especially for the bits in the article that give us some insight into what these detention prisons used by ICE are like. And no one, no one, should be traveling to the US if they can avoid it. No one. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Just sitting here thinking how I basically spent most of my emotional capacity this entire week simply processing how good the Shadowbringers story was after finishing 5.0 the previous Thursday.

Starsector 0.98a is out! Fight new enemies, acquire new ships and weapons, and much more, featuring new story missions, autosave, a revamped combat simulator and Codex, and other UI improvements! fractalsoftworks.com/2025/03/27/s... Please repost!

Oh boy, oh boy...

Finally getting a bottomless portafilter for my Gaggia made me finally see how ass my coffee grinder really is at fine tuning... I was majorly going by 'feel' given only specific roasts would work well, but now I see I really need finer adjustments😭

I spent most of the week out sick, but finishing my first Kugane Tower climb counts for -something- at least, right? Got sidetracked during Stormblood after picking up White Mage after maining Warrior, continuing the MSQ (and monhun) now that I'm caught up and feeling better.

finished showering, got dressed, turned on my computer, booted up my project, wiped my glasses, turned on some music, ready to take on the world to create some cool shit then I got a piece of hair in my eye and now I'm incapacitated. gravely ill. partially blind. ocularly dilapidated. in shambles

Having to endure watching a coworker play MHWilds via Steam status at the office when I did -not- decide to take the day off... Pray for me

Traditionally, treating my work teams to a little bit of indulgence on this Polish Fat Thursday ✨

Might or might not end up being seen at the venues, who knows...? #NordicFuzzCon 🖌️@/Togemiss on Twitter

Many feels (and distractions) later, back to making progress...

Lovely Skye commission by @achyfi.bsky.social! Go follow them now!

Birthday today! Taking a slower weekend for once, though projects have been really keeping the momentum going. 🎈

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling

I finally got around to making pierogi I've been craving! Only four hours of kitchen work, but sooo worth it.

Nothing makes me want to put four more hours into a personal project after work more than adjusting screenshake/hitstop/tweening for the tiniest things, improving the game feel by exactly 0.3%

Final 24 hours! www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)

Five years in Sweden. Who would have thunk it?

Ending the 2024 the right way. #Balatro

Steam Awards are a vapid popularity contest, that for VR games simply boils down to 'How many non-VR gamers have heard of the game'. A 75% positive game w. 262 recent reviews winning over the 1.0 release of a HUGE game with 96% and 781 recent reviews makes no sense. They should remove the category

It's time!!! The salad is ready...

I was just putting the next grocery list with all of these together, and then bumped into this picture online... Ever accurate for anyone that grew up in Poland.
