Thought it was a good time to check on how another attempt to to make AI movies was going:

I am growing tired of explaining every time I post a thinking-aloud "how did they make this medieval window" question that no, they weren't just winging it. The masons that designed these things were accomplished skilled professionals with (for their time) knowledge of geometry that surpasses mine.

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

Genuinely floored by the positive response to Normals! I'm very flattered! I drew them a portrait for toyhouse as I do for all my ocs too, feel free to check them out: toyhou.se/38407265.nor...

updating the meme for current times

disney is going to want you to forget that they happily invested in anti-art ventures up until the moment it became clear they couldn't turn a profit from it do not give them what they want

I released Mothwing in 2022, a short, abstract visual novel thing. It's the closest I've come to making a 'game poem', a form and sensibility I've been thinking about a lot lately

Commission for Cloud! #comm

"A Reddit researcher just exposed how Meta funneled over *$2 billion* through shadowy nonprofits to push age verification laws that would force Apple and Google to build surveillance infrastructure into every device—while conveniently exempting Meta’s own platforms from the same requirements."

"A good GM can make any game work" - trite, thought terminating cliche, simplistic "A well designed game is fun even when you aren't very good at it" - actually useful design advice.

SURVIVAL HORROR IN THE ALPS FFS! No AI slop in my game... For your consideration: Mundaun - a lovingly hand-pencilled horror tale. It's at 93% positive on Steam. It's on a steep sale right now. All human made. Sound. Voice acting in a language I don't even speak! BUY IT -> SUPPORT HUMAN (me)

Easily one of the root causes of all the dumb shit we're dealing with is how guys like this lie, just straight-up make up the dumbest most "everyone is 12" brained bullshit they can possibly imagine, and everyone reporting on it just runs with that as their headline uncritically

New Logo is settled~

Finished commission for @visorcyborgo.bsky.social !!! Glad you like it

What kills me here is that there is PLENTY of up-and-coming talent out there that does pro-bono work for projects they want to be part of I've been paid industry rates on a decent amount of projects now and I'll STILL work for free if the project is something I wanna see made! There's no excuse!

The next charm is "choose"

this is beyond unhinged

Do you know how many VO artists or aspiring VO artists (including myself??) would love to help an indie game dev if they are up front?? Holy ffff

Stunned by all the “ICE isn’t gonna do anything more than what TSA already does” rhetoric. Untrained white supremacists who’ve been told by bosses they’re not subject to laws will have POC and women lined up in front of them to grope and abuse and they don’t even have to chase them.

Someone blocked me for calling Alcoholics Anonymous a cult that gets people killed. AA is a cult that uses US tax-payer money to cut people off from any source of help except AA. You accept their help or die. Those are the options AA forces on people in need because accepting God is more important

I’m so tired of ‘we used it as a placeholder’ No you didn’t, placeholders are normally just blank/minimal images so they are easy to spot and replace later. You used it because you thought you’d get away with it. FUCK. OFF!

Ah I see Crimson Desert is the latest to run the 'gen AI art was temporary and we forgot about it' excuse. If you actually forgot about it, then you lack appropriate studio policies for using genAI tooling. But then they conveniently only added the AI disclosure to Steam earlier today.

One of most insightful observations about genAI vibecoding I've every read: If so great, so productivity boosting, where's all the shovelware? It fails so hard at the claims, despite absurd wide adoption, there's not even a statistical blip minor wave of classic buggy shovelware. That's DAMNING.

So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:

I was in multiple rooms at GDC where management of games studios let their hair down and said "everyone's using it, gamers hate it so we just have to hide it now", but none were actually able to explain if and how AI were making games faster to develop or better at all

And it’s done! Feeling satisfied with the extra effort I usually don’t put into mini painting, but I really liked the model and felt it deserved it!

Guys. All hands on deck this is not a drill. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. The Pokémon Company has a job posting for PhD-level ecologist 🧪 hrmos.co/pages/pokemo...

since starting this, I've gotten sued by a credit card company for being unable to pay, and had to pay 700$ due to a delivery fuckup. Please, if you can donate, it'd really help.

thank you for speaking about it. people using "psychotic" to mean "harmful/wrong/evil/horrible" feels awful, but the people who seem to actually believe bigotry is a symptom of psychosis are worse. they say it loudly to thunderous applause, misusing clinical terms to give their venom an edge.

New Matoran design for my Self MOC. She's a mix of Vo and Ba-Matoran. Having a primarily Ba-Matoran color scheme, but wound up only having the element of Lightning. Also no, these parts are not available for download. I be greedy with my custom parts. #Bionicle #BionicleMOC #Stud.ioMOC
