anyone else feeling deeply discouraged and quintessentially bilbo baggins-ish, like butter scraped over too much bread?

You can also say Patreon, Ko-Fi and post links and stuff here too without worrying about getting deboosted!

Interview on tuesday: "yeah we'll let you know by the end of the day or tomorrow, we gotta finish this by the holidays!" Now: has yet to call me or message me about anything. I just really really love how they can just ghost you with this shit. Its so fucking frustrating.

THese books are still going on! 3 and a half days left to pick up 41 books for 25 bucks!

Its amazing how our economy is being held up by a bubble that is getting closer and closer to imploding on itself.

I think the Rich ought to be taxed is my extremely moderate if not milquetoast position.

"AI Art isnt stealing!" *sees an AI generated piece that has a straight up artist's signature on it in clear perfect lettering(and no, that artist isnt the one who generated it at all)*

THese books are still going on! 3 and a half days left to pick up 41 books for 25 bucks!

Given money for Christmas and don't know what to spend it on? Say less. Here's 41 indie sci-fi books for $25. That's a pretty amazing candidate IMHO. itch.io/b/3450/the-e... 💙📚🪐 #SFF 📦📚📢

Heck yea this is still happening!

Im not gonna demonize it because demons are cool. Im gonna treat it like it is: a pile of steaming shit. And if you serve me shit in my food at a restaurant, im not going to eat at that restaurant.

in fact, in my experience, being a person, being alive and a real person, gets you more engagement. People dont usually see accounts that just post once a month and its just promotion stuff. They want to follow real people, doing real people things.

It's okay, you don't have to do engagement tricks and the commercialized shtick here; you can just be a person and post art, it's gonna be okay, it's gonna be alright I know twitter taught you this & sucked your soul out & art memes became the only way to communicate it's over now, you can be free

it tried being Dancing with Wolves in Space but somehow became more Racist. Especially with Cameron showing his full ass about native americans(and Gen AI)

Bespoke: A Christmas Metroidvania Movie.

Glory To Arstotzka

Its been 5 years on this current fic, a fic that includes previous characters from the other two books, so thats basically around 8 years with these guys. It'll be about 2-3 years before the 4th book, so i think im definitely ready to let these friends retire heh

god i wish Papers Please 2 was a thing.

Arstotzka so great, passport not required.

damn what an excellent thread

the enshitifcation of everything is really getting on my nerves. Discord will notify me when someone takes a shit but god forbid they actually notify me when someone DMs me at times. ive had multiple DMs just not ping me at all.

Fanfic is the gateway for many to write, to pratice writing! Its their stepping stones to writing original fic, sometimes based off the fanfic itself!

People need to realize this is what ChatGPT is Its not sentient or smart. Its basically glorified predictive text on a much larger scale and complexity. This is why it fails at doing math because its not even a calculator, its just guessing the most likely answer to that problem

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.

and again the funny thing is, Gen AI by itself isnt inherently a bad thing of itself as a technology. Its just the execution of it was done under Capitalism, by Capitalist Techno Fascists, for the goal of exploiting others and everything under the sun. nine times out of ten you dont hate

im 27 and i still hate Gen AI, so....

also since it needs to happen You've just opened a Star Wars themed restaurant. What are you calling it? Pizza the Hutt is a bit too on the nose, so i'll go with Palpatine's Pizzeria: UNLIMITED PIZZAAAAAAA

violence is NOT the answer It is the question. and the answer to that question is YES!

Dont miss out on this end of the year sale for 41 awesome sci-fi stories! itch.io/b/3450/the-e...

honey mustard, BBQ sauce, ranch, i mean honestly anything i like and have on hand. Unless they're GOOD friends that hit so different they dont need any sauce.

finally a bookstore that caters to me

the bad thing about being a broke ass furry is not because i want to pay bills, its because i want to get art with so many cool people here.

yeah nah fuck all that noise. Fanfiction is gonna be the only thing keeping fiction alive at all if anything. Hilary needs to touch some god damn grass

Feel like sharing my BOY

Hey all! I want to wish you all a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year! Here's a couple of baby Seikrets being cute, because let's be honest, they are freaking adorable. Thank you all for the inspiration through your words and actions. Here's to 2026 being a better year!

This is me btw, so when you be mean to me, this is who you are being mean to.

I fully believe Worf and Tealc would HATE each other at first, fight each other, earn each other's respect, then become best friends.

When You Hit The "Heart" Button On My Posts... You Are In Essence Doing This To Me:

the phrase is quite literally an impossible task too!

Worf: Our gods are dead. Ancient Klingon warriors slew them a millennia ago. They were more trouble than they were worth. Tealc: Indeed, they are...

You’ve just opened a Star Trek themed restaurant. What are you calling it? Stove-O-Kor, Bar and Grill. If you have a problem with your order, you must fight the Chef to the death.

This bundle is at 50% of it's goal! Its got 4 days left, help us get to 100%!

like a lot of the shit these gaming CEOs are going on about is just automation tools that have already existed for years, that they rebrand as AI for...Reasons. Clout or Investor interest i guess.
