I've no doubt every indie artist feels this way to some degree, regardless of medium, but given the amount of work and dedication I put into what I do, it is sometimes discouraging that my work hasn't caught more attention but I am more than grateful for every bit it has and I'm not slowing down

Make art with your hands. It’s what humans do. #noAI #artistssupportingartists #humanart

i have so much to do in so many video games

Freedom 250 concert organizers confirm that the only act currently booked is a live performance of John Cage’s 4′33″.

I need to finish a song I haven’t done that in a while

So, I’m going to start calling these accounts out! TYPING IN A PROMPT DOES NOT MAKE YOU A MUSICIAN!!

I'm so sick of the "cats just see you as a food dispenser" takes. I worked in a vet clinic, and it's definitely not true. If you take good care of your cat, they really do love you in a simple cat way. How do I know? Cats are actually very social; they naturally live in colonies.

Yes! Bullying works! Keep it up!

So id assume the black folks in America will stop paying taxes now that they no longer will have representation ?

If you live in Seattle. Please protest this. I know people won't see this post but please show you care about our rights and our dignity as human beings. I'm tired of living in fear.

When you’ve told Democratic voters and millions of people that their votes literally don’t matter and can be overturned on a whim by a bunch of partisans in robes, you don’t get to complain when they start resorting to violence

“Artificial intelligence will never defeat natural stupidity.”

Fuck the Supreme Court for killing The Voting Rights Act. #collapse #usa

Love it when the slopbros tag their slop as slop. Easiest block of my life

Since everyone is talking about it let me give my 2 cents on the “assassination attempt.” Yes it was obv staged. If someone really wanted to kill him they’d do it in an open area, not a press conference. Also obv fake since their reaction is “thIS iS wHy We NeEd BaLlRoOm”

I don't care for generated imagery, regardless of how obvious or funny it is. Or whether it suits my political views. It's poisoning the common well of information. Posting it at all is bad, but doing so without explicitly labeling it as fake is even worse. Shame on anybody who does.

Recently I started to block anyone I see using AI images or video and it is just a nice experience knowing you’re removing one more potential liar from your feed.

i tried. It's terrible but i tried.

fuck it imma quickly learn vector art will post results

Probably the biggest shock of yesterday’s outage was that they just… admit to vibecoding? Like you’re just saying no one knows how to program your site. That’s not a good thing. And no, vibecoding is NOT programming. I would hope no one would conflate the two, but here we are.

I’m not gonna do the game list not because I don’t like games but because I can’t decide which ones I like more.

my hot take on game remakes is that releasing the source code instead would be a lot cooler of them

My son is 11,autistic, and obsessed with Minecraft. I manage a team of 4 Database Engineers. At some point I started to talk to them like how the parenting courses told me to communicate with my son and the team morale and overall performance has shot up so much we got an award

i guess he will

ARTISTS PUT YOUR SIGNATURE ON YOUR DANG WORKS I'm so sad every time I see cool art, and I have no idea where it came from. PUT YOUR NAME ON IT, DANG IT I WANNA FIND YOU

i hate that i can never trust anything online anymore cute video? what if it’s AI impressive artwork? what if it’s AI people online? what if they’re AI seriously fuck this shit i hate the fact that AI got mainstream and then the grift ruined the internet’s trust Also fuck anyone who uses it.

I oppose conversion therapy, a dangerous and cruel practice. And I oppose ABA, whose origins were the basis of conversion therapy, and is still the leading treatment for autism. Let people be who they are. Provide them the freedom and support to thrive as their true selves. No forced conformity.

this is turning out to be one of the onion's all-time classics

Pretty sure without music the world doesn’t even spin

I gotta laugh at all of the arguments that socialized health care would make wait times longer because...honey...we gotta pay AND there's long wait times for doctors NOW. Can't get a decent ENT until the end of April

I hate when I see people on this site using AI to make political posts. Like that’s a MAGA thing; using AI instead of using their actual brains. Picture relevant

I swear I actually am making a video game it’s just that in order to do basically any art for it I need to recode RPGmaker’s animation engine and IDK how to do that rn.

Okay, let's get the AI discussion entirely out of the hype-and-theory realm. For the "I'll just vibe code and trust the LLM folks," here's an interesting page showing results from asking several LLMs to perform a simple coding task (creating an HTML/CSS clock): [clocks.brianmoore.com/]. 1/6

Hey, old Democrats, your party is corrupt and feckless. Hey, young 'idealists,' not voting for the lesser evil *in the general* is voting for Trump. Both are true. The solution is to get involved. Anyone arguing against voting is a NAZI liar. Don't trust them.

Really don’t need to hear third party voters complaining about people who voted for Kamala. Look at where we are right now.

I wanna post shit about da game im making rn but there’s like 0 art that isn’t either engine default or placeholder so i got nothing real to show.

Whether you draw, or paint, or compose, or mix - whatever form of art you choose to create, make it exist. Bring it to life. Create it in a tangible form that can be enjoyed. It need not be perfect. It might need work. It might serve as practice. It might even remain unfinished. Just create. 😁

Shoutout to everyone out there making music, making art, and otherwise being creative. Much love and respect.

MAN

Stop!!! Calzone time.

Just to tie the loose ends up here, the gift is out. It’s called an album, and it came out yesterday actually but I’m not as active online rn due to being on break and not having the time to doomscroll.

Im now officially making a gaem. Thas all buh bye

major tom implies the existence of minor tom and major minor seventh tom
