Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

Seeing a lot from tumblr and here that this is a lot of people's body type and also the first time they're seeing it represented in art in this way and I just !!?? I need you all to know that this body type is so beautiful it's why I painted it never ever believe that your body is unworthy of art

Absolutely one of my fave films tbh #art #horror

DO NO HARM

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

A couple folks have called today and said they got through to people, which means we are not crashing the lines nearly enough. Call, y'all. Even if you're never called before. Especially if you have a democratic senator who you don't trust to hold the line.

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

its tough out there but so am i

Posting this TikTok someone posted on Discord here, an edit of what Toby said during the Undertale anniversary stream. For those who need to hear/see this.

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

it hurts #thebindingofisaac #tboiau #tboifanart

I believe this to my core. They're using trans people as a test case to dismantle individual rights in the US.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Happy 10th Anniversary, Undertale! gonna read that newsletter whenever I can. #Hero #Mage #Asgore #Undertale #Anniversary #Undertale10thAniverssary #ThisIsHowHashTagsWorkRight

the actual best tumblr post is, of course, this iconic video from a-nice-frog that's resurfaced on my dash every few months for the last decade

"but we can't support trans rights, it's unpopular!" just a reminder that US approval for marriage between black and white people at the start of the civil rights movement was 4%, reaching a whopping 20% by the end of the movement it's 95% now you don't wait for popularity for a rights movement

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage? This is a GIFT. "You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here. People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.

We need to start speaking up- no- YELLING to support and defend trans people. If you're in the USA, call your legislators. Literally email and call your representatives. Cis people have the loudest voices right now and those voices MUST be used to protect trans people.

My old student film turned 10 years old this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2Gp... Honestly, other than a couple bits of the animation that are a bit too tweeny, I still think this holds up pretty well. #anim #studentfilm #oldart

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away. So don't let it go away. Keep it going. In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

It's attack #7! @gnillopillo.bsky.social's #tboiRAU gang! How uplifting! (don't worry, Apollyon's smiling, too, you just can't see it!)

"We have to pull back on palestine support" "we have to pull back on trans rights" "Dems should be more centrist" EAT HOT ASPHALT YOU FUCKING LOSERS!!!
