Mistletoe ♥️🎄Happy holidays! ✨ ✧ #ghoap #ghostsoap #soapghost

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

A very Merry Christmas to everybody!! Keeping up the tradition of GhostSoap fluff for the holidays 🎄☃️

We’re excited that @miabyte.bsky.social, host of @commanderdmg.bsky.social is joining #TeamGirudo. She's a British variety streamer and LGBTQIA+ community member who advocates for better representation in Magic: the Gathering and the gaming industry. She thinks Universes Beyond is good, actually

Gen AI used up more water this year than people consumed globally. ...I don't think you understand... YOUR STUPID HAHA FUNNY CHAT GPT, AI FILTERS AND IMAGE GENERATORS USED UP MORE WATER WITHIN THE SPAN OF A CALENDAR YEAR THAN THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE DID G L O B A L L Y !!! Wake up you stupid cunts

another 🧼 💀 sketchdump 'cause they bring me dopamine #ghoap • #potatoarts

may every trans child grow into a trans adult

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

trans kids should have access to healthcare. same as cis kids. ANYTHING that their parents and doctors think would have a positive impact. Not complicated.

Warframe time! Working on the new event plus decorating my orbiter today!!!! twitch.tv/miabyte

Remember when Elon asked how much it would cost to solve world hunger. He was given a number and detailed plan by the UN and decided to do nothing about it. Instead, he decided to get into politics and starve people by gutting USAID via DOGE. Murderer.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

I try to focus on posting about art and comics and not my complaints about the state of everything but GOOD GRIEF

I cannot stress enough that most ppl don't ever even think about calling their reps. I talk to ppl in my fam about it and they go "Huh? What?". But your reps work for YOU. They need to know what you actually care about. When we call in big numbers it ALERTS them, cuz they rarely hear from us.

This actually pisses me off so much, as someone who is building a world and conceptulizing it and working on it day after day, the most creative thing you can do is use your FUCKING BRAIN to make stuff up and not let AI create it for you. Highly disappointed, shame on them

if you see narrative people being meaner about larian than it sounds like they deserve, trust me, we've been waiting for this one

Using gen ai for text and asset placeholders is not solving a problem; games have been made for decades with regular placeholders. studios using AI this way are just testing the water to see what more they can get away with - which will inevitably mean laying off skilled workers, to make worse games

Crazy work on Larian/Vincke's part to skyrocket into being beloved by so many just to then instantly nuke public opinion like this

Thank you so much to everyone for raising ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS for The Trevor Project via the Jingle Jam! That is insane and I hugely appreciate everyone's support <3

Trans Dammon from last year. Still feels relevant 🏳️‍⚧️🫶🇵🇸

I am beyond upset, YouTube has age restricted my video tonight for thinking it depicts real actual gambling. The video is on CloeverPit and contains no real gambling, but does contain a massive charity push for The Trevor Project. Last time this happened I almost quit YouTube

This really is a must read for anyone in academia.

@amazeingartist.bsky.social talking about dying light the beast has made me cave and buy it 😂

#johnsoapmactavish #soapcod

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

some people going out of their way to avoid putting in actual work to achieve things that are only impressive BECAUSE they require putting in work we think abs are cool not because we like bumpy stomachs your abs implants ain't impressing no one mah dude so are your AI generated art and poetry

Shopping small is meaningful!

Patreon Policy Team emailed creators saying they'll host a livestream clarifying existing 18+ guidelines on DEC 11. If you're a creator please show up! You can submit issues you'd like them to cover in the rsvp form.

For non-Brits: nobody can afford to get sued by revved-up wingnuts and crackpots armed with JK Rowling’s money, and nobody wants to be the next organisation protested by the far right and monstered into the heart of the earth by the world’s most poisonous media outlets. So they are folding.

Oh for fuck's sake. Urgent Question in parliament about the fact that a group of well-funded bigots are weaponising the justice system to attempt to force the segregation of a minority group? Maybe? Anyone? (And while we're about it, let's get GC beliefs unprotected, because fuck that)

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

This is why they're gleefully hunting down nsfw artists. They assume we're here to corrupt children instead of, you know, sell nsfw to other adults and pay rent

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

My page is clanker free and my intention is to always keep it that way. If you ever see me engaging with AI in a positive way, assume I have been fooled and tell me so I can rectify it or assume I’ve been replaced by a clanker. I hate AI

Just so we’re clear; if you use gen AI for your writing at all then I don’t care what themes the work contains or what point you are trying to make. Using gen AI tells me that you fundamentally cannot engage with or create art in any meaningful way and nothing you have to say to me has any value.

This is what you get when you back ai voices. Souless empty reads devoid of talent. The only way we preserve art is by rejecting ai fully. That means not just making a big stink about things like this, but rejecting games like Arc Raiders actively using ai voices. Stand for what you believe in.

I see AI slop in anything, I instantly disregard the whole thing. It's like finding a slug in your salad. If you can't write without an LLM, or you can't source art that isn't genAI, you can't be trusted to do anything. Sorry. Absolute deal-breaker.

The article is well worth a read; this information would never have come to light were it not for Steam's AI disclosure policy, and the game looks to be a rushed cash grab not involving Grasshopper studio. This is why CEOs dont like AI disclosures, they want to be able to discreetly serve slop

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

🧼💀 they kiss that's the plot #ghoap • #potatoarts

Sure! Mastercard, Visa, Stripe + Paypal are further restricting what kinds of perfectly legal adult content you can buy through their processor (they cracked down on itchio and steam over the summer, not to mention Patreon a few years ago). We're tired of them acting like dictators instead of tools.

Y’all. We GOTTA get better at commenting on/reposting things we like over here. Likes are nice but comments and reposts are what get good shit to other people on bsky. Don’t forget that! Make your fandom creators’ day a little brighter by leaving a little comment or hitting that repost button
