The sketch I gave to the artist -> The art the artist gave to me. Gen AI is never needed for concept art / placeholders

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Fuck AI, show us how much you've learned and improved with your own hands. I still need to learn how to edit more, but here we go. 2017 • 2021 • 2026

It's a shame the FFXI raids didn't dip too much into post Treasures of Aht Urhgan stuff because it means we missed out on hot mean Elvaan lady.

Im so tired of it being everywhere #aislop #fairycosplay #tedtalk #myopinion #rant #fae #

My hate of AI is bottomless and pure, and there is no mewling argument in favor of it in any circumstance that will move me an inch

The Demon Princess from my comic Heaven Gate

I tried not to have any repeats but I def cheated that with FFXIV and I don’t care lol grids.fun/t/about-me-v...

5 topics I could give an hour-long talk on 1) Final Fantasy 2) Final Fantasy XIV Online (specifically) 3) Sonic the Hedgehog 4) StarGate 5) The evolution of sexual exhibition on the internet and it’s monetization

I took a solemn vow that these would never see the light of day, but dammit, you found them. You found my obese cats.

I type the word “received” at work daily and that e and i flip places constantly. Also “familiar” often stumps me and its rarely close enough for spell check to help.

your chatbot can't "go rogue". your chatbot doesn't know anything and is just spitting out shit that resembles real stuff. it's your fault for using it for anything. it's your fault for using it for anything. it's your fault for using it for anything.

"I love the Midwest, the cost of living is so low' January:

people will be like "it actually takes some patience and careful checking for errors to make sure that chatbot returns the text you want" and what you're describing is a waste of your time dumbass. use your human brain to do stuff instead of arguing with Smarter Child for it

Child’s Play. I was afraid of Chucky being under my bed. … i had a water bed. There is no “under” a water bed lol

oh, you're dating someone six days younger than you. wow. and you admit that in public?

my wife and I are literally four days apart in age. which means, that's right, we have the only relationship in the world without a problematic age gap.

If a video includes a screen shot of an AI overview I immediately stop watching. You just burned all your credibility.

Saw some 'art style do an don't' talk go around recently and funny enough I stumbled upon my old take of it

Big purchase requires big Internet. This is simple math

I like whenever there’s a video game dev video showing the workspace, there’s always someone pointing at the screen to whatever the person in the chair is doing

I random raided a streamer tonight and was disgusted when they did a shout out, and their AI bot scrapped my channel to regurgitate a slop paragraph about me full of inaccuracies. I have never felt more violated.

If you like AI, that's fine. We can agree to disagree. For instance I think you are a pitiable rube and I do not want to hear your inane thoughts about anything ever.

The Warrior of Light, The Unenhanced Challenger, Niel Yeager. Inspired by the raid song “Everything Burns” This piece was fueled by my righteous rage at any number of things going on in the world right now. Anyway Fuck Trump and Fuck ICE and Fuck AI

#wolqotd Drop the oldest know wol pic you have with the most recent pic Show me how them sprouts have grown 2023-2026 Fudged it a but to include the first pic of me and @gaymerboi.bsky.social We started the game together ❤️

And some screenshots from #fishfest2026

My sketches from last nights #natureartparty for #fishfest2026

Trying to prep for FFXIV Fish Fest by my power keeps going out :(

AI is the exact opposite of Woody Guthrie's guitar

I do sometimes think about how much money we are probably leaving on the table by blanket refusing all AI and gambling ads on Night Vale, as I imagine that is 90% of who is buying advertising right now, but I also have to be able to look at myself in the mirror, so

“Drop an alien thats not from Star Trek or Star Wars.” StarGATE BABY! 😤

I thought: what if my logo was a naked lady?

People get mad at data centers for wasting huge amounts of water producing bad art, but I do that too

Knowingly signing away your voice for A.I. is wholly immoral, even if it's legal. It disenfranchises other actors, shrinking the work pool, and contributes to an increasingly hostile industry that regularly commodifies and minimizes talent. It's a scummy practice that should – and will – be shamed.

Niel has a no killing policy when it comes to people. Monsters are ok and so are those with unnaturally extended lives (Ascians). He felt a lot of guilt during HW after realizing dragons were one and not the other.

I hate America but also everyone I love lives here so it's not an ideal situation overall

Watching everyone post about “first stream of the year!” while having to cancel 3 already due to the flu.

My 2025 Game Tier List! A year dominated by the Zelda Marathon on Twitch. Outside of stream I almost exclusively played Final Fantasy XIV Online. Be it side content or the new patches that came out in 2025.

I dunno how to get this through the thick skulls of some youtubers, but if you, as the creator, are reading an ad for some shitty AI tool, I'm clicking off your video, unsubscribing if I was subscribed, and never clicking on your shit again. I wish I could block channels.

Four games that defined my 2025 The first full year of the Zelda Marathon on Twitch. Outside of stream it was another year of only playing FFXIV. New Patches and old content I skipped on my way thru the MSQ. Eureka, Bozjia and Variant Dungeons. And lvling a healer and tank.

Just in time for Xmas, the Final Fantasy X Retrospective is here! Learn about the creative decisions behind the game, the state of Square as a company after the failure of The Spirits Within, and the grander themes which may have eluded western players. youtu.be/f8PqQE_FbNc

"oh we have to be fair about gen AI" no I don't. destroy it. leave no trace behind. shun every person who uses it even a little bit.

Teenager me: everyone in charge is so stupid Young adult me: politics corporations and science are incredibly complex topics that require thorough research and discussion and we shouldnt jump to conclusions Me now: everyone in charge is so stupid

I made art because there were drawings I wanted to see and no one else was going to make them for me. No one could. No amount of dictation or prompting would result in what I envisioned. And not just pictures but stories. I wanted to share stories and no one else could draw then like me.

Happy “Everything Burns” day to those who celebrate
