See this is a bad way to introduce myself bc I went to concerts mostly in high school, so my list is like: Opeth Arch Enemy Wintersun Dimmu Borgir Finntroll Moonsorrow Ensiferum Weird Al Ninja Sex Party Peaches

Is it worth getting pregnant to get this shirt

We're planting tomatoes! And eggplants! And peppers! And herbs! And trimming our roses!

I played the demo for this and it's awesome! Definitely pick it up!! I'm a little sad it's already free, I hope that doesn't bode ill for the studio

Me waiting for the Hades II update to get Heracles in the hot springs, even though my carpal tunnel-ass wrists couldn't play it if I wanted

The Larian situation is still really sad, but ngl I'm going to be giggling about "flesh out power point presentations" for a while. Just the most LinkedIn-ass phrase lmaaaoooooooo

Also, if you're using gen ai for placeholders, I promise you there will be gen ai content in version 1.0. Just ask Sandfall :) Let's hope Larian at least discloses it to Steam

Because fuck concept artists, right? And I'm sorry I will never understand needing gen AI to make PLACEHOLDERS. Just write "placeholder!" Or the prompt you're putting into chat gpt! How does this benefit anyone????? Also lol at Vincke basically admitting that people hate it

A couple of people are pointing out that Clair Obscur used gen AI, but the thing that really kills me is that they didn't disclose it! And Steam is just fine with that I guess! And no journalist will investigate bc the internet is so feral about this game! Deeply unserious industry

BUMBLING SIDEKICK?????? TELL ME IT'S PARODY

Went to the local Assyrian restaurant for the first time and it was absolutely phenomenal! We got pickled eggplant, cheese za'atar flatbread, a chicken porridge-type dish, duck confit, orange blossom creme brulee, and tahini pie. Everything was so delicious! I really hope this restaurant makes it 🥲

Frankenstein was so so good!! What a refreshing thing, a fully realized work of art. You can tell GDT poured his heart into this movie, as did everyone else who worked on it. If you hate gen AI as much as GDT, you too can make as good of art

Immensely refreshing read

Tarragon and green tomatoes from the garden!

Yesterday was Marmalade's Gotchya Day! 7 years with the greatest dog ever!!

Took 37 years, but I’m finally jealous about one (1) New York thing.

Not getting any big headlines, but my town unfortunately has an anti-trans children streak. We voted for 4 school commission positions, and managed to elect 2 people who specifically ran to protect trans kids. I wish it was all 4, but I'm glad these kids have people looking out for them 🏳️‍⚧️

I moved over my Follow list from Twitter, and almost none of the artists I follow are active here 😕 All their posts are from like 6mo ago, so my feed is just all the political people I follow. Which makes for a bummer experience I'll tell ya what

I'm reupping my efforts to use bluesky again; once I learned you can turn off reposts the app became SO MUCH more usable (wish I could do it on an individual basis, but I'll take it). Now I just need more people to follow

As depressing as gen ai usage is, my main takeaway from the article is this: If an indie game can disclose gen ai "for internal communication," your goty can disclose it for placeholder assets :)

Look at this little guy!!!

It's so wild to me that people are chill with "a little" AI in their games, in an industry plagued with crunch and layoffs. Gen AI will absolutely be used to justify treating workers like shit. Why extend timelines to avoid crunch when you can just generate everything?

Do... Do I have to play assassin's Creed now?

I'm back to answering phones after 18+ months, and this is me every day by 11 am now.

Foggy morning!

Me to Peter who has a broken leg and can't move

Gwendoline Christie my love ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Immediate costume goal

Lovely cloudy day on the Oregon coast!

Pics from our rainy/sunny walk today 🌈

Birthday boy BBQ!

This might come across as more than a little blunt, but please bare with me. A lot of people completely dismiss or even hate indie games and what's being unsaid here is they want is something mainstream from major studios with advertising and popular enough that the zeitgeist allows them to play it.

Sometimes you have to make tough choices when having to make these moderation lists. Just added a very skilled professional concept artist to my AI imagery blocklist, because almost everything he's posted on here is AI images. Looking at his Artstation that makes me really sad. 😞

It wouldn't be the day before vacation if I wasn't in two more meetings than normal, and all those meetings didn't go the maximum length of time, and opposing counsel wasn't demanding a meeting TODAY (that is not happening at least). Get me off this wild ride!!

Hope the stairs are okay 😕

Been sitting on the wait-list for dance class, so I did grip strength training today, knowing if I got into class my hands would be dead. It worked.

Download the 5 Calls app and call your representatives, even if they're Dems! I've always dragged my feet about calling my reps but the app makes it too easy to not do. One of my senators is on this list and I've been calling/emailing ever since 5calls.org

Your girl got an embroidery stand for Christmas and is now unstoppable (for 3 hrs a week while she plays dnd)

by embracing preparedness, you are building mental and physical resiliency for yourself and your community. agency is, essentially, the opposite of trauma. creating plans and taking steps towards those plans is, in some ways, more important than actually succeeding at those plans. always be trying.

Good morning!

Watched this stone sober last night. 1/10 must watch. Take a shot of beer every time they say "hunt" and you will still die. Marvel, release ATJ and let him eat some ice cream I demand you! boxd.it/jGuE
