FOR MY ONTARIO PEEPS.

I despise how hard YouTube actively fucks over its users and creators at every turn. Be sure to check your devices (Yes, plural DEVICE(S), because they’ve made it per device not just account), and make sure this setting is OFF! It’s potentially hiding thousands of videos from you.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

if u have artists in ur group and they post art its important to actually tell them that u like it and interact with it b/c man it hits me occasionally how demoralizing it is when you have people who dont bother looking at your shit unless you prod them to

ko-fi.com/alexsteacy/g... Just over two weeks ago my folding ebike was stolen from where it was locked up outside my favourite thrift store. I have done my due diligence trying to find it and managed in the interim with a loaner but it's probably time to move on. Every bit helps.

Disability representation in Video games

there’s something in the air because i was just chatting about this with a coworker. there was fear & uncertainty but there was also this incredible sense of “we’re in it together”. people went outside, distilleries churned out sanitizer, friends knit masks. bet the New Deal felt like that.

This is the single best piece I've read on "replacing coders with AI," it fully dispells the myth from the perspective of a software engineer and does so in a calm, reasonable way. colton.dev/blog/curing-...

concepts of characters from my dream pitch by @pearljeli.bsky.social . I was getting a lot of exp in development and I was working towards a pitch package and a demo animatic but Hilda always had me busy. Me thinks its time to start it up again and make an offical bibble in the next few months.

I am regrettably in need of additional funds to cover essential dental work. If you are able, every bit helps. ko-fi.com/alexsteacy/

Dee was one of our fav fx artists and supervisors - and not only does she have great skill, but she knows how to EXPLAIN and organize and do all the soft skills too. A great artist and teacher!

Okay, I’m stumped. Our Discord is stumped. Anyone recall webcomics from 20+ years ago? 😐 I’m trying to find an FF8 comic that went, “Oh no, they’ve replaced Squall with a plank of wood?” “How can you tell?” And there’s a plank of wood wearing Squall’s jacket. I’ve checked all the usual suspects.

Made an art for my husband’s MtG commander that he wanted for making a custom card for his deck!

Watching a TV show from before the streaming era really is breaking my brain. 21 episode seasons is crazy to me now, they're allowed to have several plotlines, build chemistry between the characters, I don't have to wonder if they're running out of time to tell their story. I miss this.
