Have I ever mentioned I like anything moon themed 💀Anyway, look at my new moon paladin for a Daggerheart campaign some friends and I are starting!! #oc #art

Well, it's been a minute. To update y'all: I lost my job about a week or so ago to AI. I'm going to make a small thread about my plans, but to start with: I'm going to be avoiding AI from here on out. I see some theoretical uses, but the more I use it, the less I feel it's necessary.

I blogged about an aspect of reviewing llm-generated code that seems so offputting: erikaker.com/posts/2026-0...

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

Here's your moment of zen: A "holy" cat named Coco stands at the entrance of a church in Mexico, seemingly blessing everyone who walks in 🐱

You know what I’m talking about. bell.bz/wait-it-out/

IT LOOKS SO GOOD MAN!!!! I'm so happy <3

Love this! Hope more libraries have similar initiatives to reward kids for reading 📚! #kidlit #librarysky

If you like queer SciFi, Fantasy, Romance, Mystery/ Suspense/ Action or General Fiction books, MANY are searchable by genre and or LGBTQIA+ identity, at 99c or 1.99 today only! My epic Fantasy, Manipulator's War is among them! 🌈📚🪐📚💙 queeryourbookshelf.com

If you were wondering, this was the "random Estelle post" that made the wishlist spike. Understandably.

Wild experience: watching two people I follow who have completely opposing viewpoints duke it out. I'm watching a third back-and-forth between them and have personally spoken to both of them at different points and generally have agreed (and disagreed!) at times with both. It's odd to experience.

When you like an article, I like to make it in video form. Here it is, including excerpts of the songs mentioned which will (hopefully) immerse you deeper in the story. Love to you all.

probably my favorite illustration I did for Scholar's Codex, for the Elden Ring section @tuneandfairweather.bsky.social "Marika bathed the village of her home in gold, knowing full well that there was no one to heal." 5x7" ink on claybord

My wife, who's working on becoming a PM, is managing my bracket project now so you guys may get lucky and see progress! Lol I convinced her to use it as an exercise in managing a project and it's actually looking like she's having fun with it. Now let's hope she doesn't get TOO frustrated with me

As someone inclined to write epic fantasy with a cast of thousands, I've found less characters means more space for the reader to get to know and connect deeply with characters. So I've merged characters with similar story roles, and deleted minor ones in favour of recurring minor chars.

My boss: IDEs are the way of the past. No one's going to use IDEs in the future. All coding will happen through an AI My dork self: *using neovim actively* oop

The books we’ve written so far are aimed mostly at students and game dev enthusiasts. However, this year we’ll start writing more advanced books focused on R&D and advanced techniques 🔗 jettelly.com/store?click_... #indiedev #gamedev #realtimevfx

We’ve updated the #TravellersRest 🍻soundtrack, composed by @maxballet.bsky.social! You can grab it even cheaper in a bundle if you already own the game! store.steampowered.com/bundle/18884...

Bracket Game (the third edition, though you'll never see editions one and two) is gonna be a fun little web app where you can make a lobby, invite your friends, and host voting brackets for your favorite topics!

Tragedy strikes: can't finish any project by starting a new project. Programmer left in despair. Anyway, in an effort to bolster my portfolio a bit to maybe land a higher-paying job, I'm working on a bracket game because I make all my portfolio pieces fun (maybe not a good idea, but who knows)

I'm making a little program! I'm sure there are others like it out there, but this one's mine. I'm calling it "herald" and it's my first python project in years. It's going to be a daily briefing program. You can use any llm to summarize for you or just get the raw data if you prefer.

I made this video over a few days of me... figuring out my current feelings about AI. Watch me crash out 🤪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC7Y...

Thanks for all the love for the Aro-Spec Bundle! Aromantic rep isn't an easy one to find, so I especially appreciate the boosts on this one! 💜🖤💚 ♠️🌈📚💙

Gotta get off reddit, my heart rate is getting higher because I'm getting into fights with people over if AI generated pictures are "art". Anyway, I'm gonna say here where they can't find me: no, no it's not. By definition it's not. I'm an art gatekeeper on this one, sorry.

A thing I feel deep resonance with between me and folks who do software work is that I find building things very healing. Even things that don't work, even things that aren't impressive to anyone else.

The reference and the pixelart

It's honestly surprising and a bit alarming how many people will block you for having an opinion like "AI might be dangerous for society and we should treat it as a real threat, not pretend it's going to go away if we just bully people who use it" Anyway, I'm going to dump my many AI thoughts here

I just set up my first RSS feed and the only people featured are @cassidoo.co @mikemull.bsky.social and @erewok.bsky.social. Are there any blogs or podcasts you three would like to shout out? Tech or otherwise, I like your vibes so I'll take any and all recommendations, if you feel inclined to share

Only you can make the art you wanna make. No one else can draw it like you or write it like you.

Probably don't try this in the real Kamogawa... Look and feel test for this area inspired by memories of hanging out by the river in Kyoto. #MadeWithUnity #LostInDreams #gamedev #indiedev (and yes the video compression is killing me!😭)

Less sad: because my wife has been enjoying her Spanish heritage these last few months building up to the halftime show, we're getting back into dancing by learning to salsa! My weak heart is grateful for finally finding some kind of exercise. I badly need to be more active!

Loved the halftime show yesterday. Can't stop thinking about it. But I also can't stop thinking about my wife's Puerto Rican mother boycotting it. That's... Just really sad to me. She's learned to hate her own culture, and she doesn't even realize it. It just... Really guts me.

I was so incredibly tired of all those sound generators that can only create retro sounds... so I created my own! It's a work in progress and it'll be part of a new project but enjoy some sounds I've made. Each of these took a minute tops! ✨

Someone found you could squeeze past this gate after gravity was altered. I was going to block it off, but opted to let players explore and send them to the backrooms if they fall out of the level. Wishlist KOOK: store.steampowered.com/app/2329690/... #ScreenshotSaturday #BoomerShooter

We just updated the Forbidden Solitaire Demo on Steam after an incredible week of streamer coverage and wishlists gained. Thanks everyone! Get your eyeballs on this: store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/... #ScreenshotSaturday

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! So far for #MerchantOfMytos we have: travel between towns, time progression, and a nice system for converting shorthand tags in my JSON files to longer spans in my html. Hooray!

This is just like that one time I did mushrooms and went to a community centre in Kyoto.
