Oddish! I drew this before I realized it was goblin week, but wanted to share it anyway! #pokemon

some bits of wisdom from tunglr

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

From the vaults: Some character stuff I did about 10 years ago. Not really done much of this angular, two tone style in recent years but would be fun to go back to at some point.

"We’re growing our team; look at our current openings: - Lead... - Expert... - Senior... - Senior... - Senior..." shut up, ffs this is not "expanding", this is grabbing people from other studios you should elevate your current staff to the needed positions, and hire people on lower and entry levels

in a refreshing change of pace, both bandcamp and games workshop announced this week that they've banned AI to varying extents. these stances are crucial during a time when AI is being rammed down our throats at every turn, and some people are starting to accept it

being a hater is important. or rather, if you are a hater by nature it's better to not deny it. we need ecumenical haters, haters with a willingness to keep open minds, haters who can explain why they like something just as assiduously. That way when they say "this is dog shit" it has real power

I admit, I get a little tired of being told that the rise of fascism is the fault of everybody except the people who voted enthusiastically for fascism, argue for fascism right now, and only regret fascism when they take splash damage from all the fascism they wanted.

Dear friend, Mr. Trump's coronation last week was a disgrace. As I bowed in protest, I thought to myself "What has become of our nation" Now it's all up to us. Can you spare $5, $10, or even $20 so I can attend the royal feast to continue the fight?

kiss me, you're beautiful - these are truly the last days

At this point, if a Democratic presidential candidate wants my vote, their platform has to - at bare minimum - include some version of "I am going to put all these freaks in prison for their crimes." Full stop. No compromise. I am now a single issue voter for the dark woke prison camps.

Canini!

THIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable. If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.

one good thing coming out of AI bullshit i guess

these dudes would later become my small party set for @justinsirois.bsky.social but i just feel like there's other stuff I wanna do with them. but what...

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

MISCREANTS #art #warhammer40k

I've made it a personal goal to stop using the term "content" when referring to media made by artists. The word implies mass-produced filler and calling someone's hard work their "content" has started to feel kinda like an insult. Like human art made strictly for quick consumption

This is me showing my age as a webcomic granny, but I still believe that being a digital homeowner and owning your own webcomic site + supporting each other via web rings and collectives is the best way to go. I've always been wary of comic hosting services, they will always lead to censorship

A little update: at the end of December I'm sending out these goblin stickers to Collectors tier patrons, and they should arrive just in time for Goblin Week in January! www.patreon.com/helveticablanc

so insanely fucking real for this

We've been drowning in median voter theory nonsense for so long, trying to appeal to this mythical centrist vote, that I think it's become easy to forget that having courage in your convictions, standing up for them no matter what, will in some cases inspire even your enemies

I cosign every single word of this anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

おはおっちん☀️ しっぽだけ冬毛増量…⁉︎

i see this shit, the game goes in the bin, doesn't matter how much I'd enjoyed it or what my plans to write about it had been

This is bullshit. "absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground. "how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
