I cannot stress how dangerous the use of AI for any form of psychiatric advice is. The last thing you want when handling medication is hallucinations and false data.

We’re not in the Indie/Game-Apocalypse, we’re living after The Shattering. The moon is gone. Father Earth hates us. Fifth Seasons are coming, again and again. For a deeper understanding, read The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fif...

Lost For Swords ⚔️ is my love letter to roguelikes and card games. To deckbuilders and dungeon crawlers. To strategy and tactics. It is Slay The Spire meets Into The Breach with a pinch of Diablo 2. If any of that resonates with you ➡️ it's out on Steam now!!!💖 store.steampowered.com/app/2638050/...

Here’s a fun alternative if you’re "a fan of artist XYZ and therefore need to generate AI images." Just draw some fan art! No one will judge you; after all, you’re a fan. It could even be as simple as tracing the original work. I myself am a huge fan of Moebius (and an absolute amateur).

The only logical response!

Happy World Bipolar Day! We are an estimated 1-3% of the world’s population. Our lives bounce between mania and despair, states in which we are capable of great works, often at a great personal cost. We write of red deaths, paint starry nights and hunt terminators, all for your entertainment.

Obligatory complaint that can’t take a 2 hour train ride in Germany without a 3 hour delay.

We are proud to present our first official Kickstarter co-production with Mariya Tobischek & @oldgodstemple.bsky.social ! The Ukrainian Night Tarot is a breathtaking deck, inspired by Ukrainian folklore and mythology.

Perfect albums that came out according to my questionable taste as a 16 year old.

Are you sick and tired of your art getting stolen and used as AI fodder? Use the Glaze! glaze.cs.uchicago.edu

This makes me so angry - because this translates to "I too would like to make a lot of money" But let's be real. You would not have published Balatro. You want a lightning strike- fund 20 games. Fund 30 games. Fund so many damn games that maybe you find the right field to be struck by lightning.

I used to have a strange life before games. This was made a decade ago with Reinhold Bidner. I might have an even stranger life after games. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdeT...

Oh. My. God. The new art drop.

Is it just me or are TTRPG creators that use AI for art just out of touch with their community?

There are two lenses to look at this day and age. One is the concept of hypernormalisation, the other one a book called The Futurological Congress.
