You know how you know something is yours? You customize its appearance, its colors, tweak it until it's perfect and fits how you like to work & use it; and then you don't change a thing about it for years and are happy. The current world is full of UIs telling us "No, this is ours, not yours. Ours."

I'll say it once and I'll say it again. If you think artists are just "naturally talented", you're deeply wrong. The only difference between you and us is that we kept trying when it didn't come out like we hoped. You can always make art yourself. There's no bad time to start, you can start now.

no face, no accountability

this game, Y2ROLL, easily stands among the best in the marble genre! it just came out and its $13.50 on sale from $15 on steam. i found it uniquely fun to control due to its precision and manageable momentum unlike other games in the genre

Hytale was a tremendously inspiring project that now lives in our creative spirit. Many of us modded a certain blocky game because of it. Everybody on the Hytale team has so much experience working on game development now and I see nothing but growth and progress ahead for them <3

if anyone has a little bit to chip in, do it! 20 dollars, 10, 5, it really all goes a long way

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

wow look at all of these better alternatives to Adobe that exist ask me about Pixelart programs if interested in that aspect specifically because you *definitely* don't need PS for that, lol

Being chronically ill is not lazy. Resting when your body needs it is not lazy. Saying “no” is not lazy. Taking care of yourself is not lazy. Ableism teaches us to guilt ourselves for respecting our body & its limits. Change the narrative. Taking care of yourself is powerful.

This video right here shows the endgame of proprietary software. Public (published) human works should be given the freedom to be wielded by any who desire to do so. Works should not be monopolized by a single party. Think of cases like Nintendo when it comes to art and intellectual property.

Hello awesome people! I have not posted in ages and I do not plan to be as active as I thought. I am not someone who spends time on social media. I want to address the obvious. For some of us, the next 4 years will be some of the toughest times of our lives as Americans.

Owner: You get those Brussels sprouts grown? Farmer: Sure did boss, and grew them real fuckin sexy just like you asked. Owner: what

Fascinating video on Steam trends, especially these statistics- of all the games released in Steam in 2024, just 2.5% had the "LBGTQ+" tag and 7% had the "female protagonist" tag. This is supposedly the political trend that's overwhelming and destroying gaming. youtu.be/qiNv3qv-YbU?...

people will always focus on the spectacle of someone killing another with a gun and not the more boring (but more deadly) guy who just says no to peopes request for life saving care just to boost overall profits.

it’s interesting that they’re trying to ban trans people from the military. from what i’ve heard they’re super soldiers who are too good at sports and athleticism

they’re making jaking off illegal

I don't know, have you ever just tried maybe, not being shitty? 🤷‍♂️

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Normalize this reaction #art #artists

if you're lgbt, if you're black or hispanic or muslim, if you're a woman, if you're part of any sort of marginalized group it's the most unfair thing that you have to keep fighting but I beg you please be brave please be safe please try to survive

There’s so many amazing artists and crafters that are struggling to make rent, eat and pay for health care. Please ditch the Amazon shopping and buy directly from creators for the holidays and always. If you like seeing our art on your feeds, please support us.

hello friends the CAPTCHA "I'm not a robot" verification system on some sites has gone too far people with disabilities including the elderly are excluded and disregarded in its design captcha is easily bypassed by bots using deep learning technology, i urge websites to develop a new system!
