“Alright, we get it, you can stop complaining about Aloy telling you the solution or where to go if you aren’t on WR speedrun pace. Now instead of telling you she’ll wrestle control from you and do it herself instead. HAPPY?!” ~Sony, probably.

I think it's funny that Sony saw people in 7th gen say "sony games are just movies" and they've been desperate to prove those people right ever since

Remember folks “Safety Acts” are NEVER actually about safety, and ALWAYS about expanding governmental control and eroding your privacy and, rather ironically, your safety.

I'm so happy our government has kept us safe from [checks notes] web forums about the retro consoles, green living, queer furries and single dads with kids. I can't use imgur anymore but the pedo nazi billionaire gets to keep his AI child porn bots?

So what was the point of this then?

“So like, we simply do not have the industry, the production capacity, or even the raw resources to make this work currently, and probably won’t for generations, but we’re gonna try anyway, consequences be damned.”

Close enough, welcome back Tony Blair. 🫠 (Blearghhhhhh 🤮)

Do not use AI, even for funny joke. Its Theft, its wasteful, its trash.

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

Ordered groceries, too sick to go shopping (and don’t wanna spread it further), saw a fox in the parking lot whilst waiting. ^_^

Ahhh it feels so nice waking up in your own bed, no tube in your arm, no constant checkups (though the nurses were absolute angels), still feel really rough, but manageable rough. Good to be on the mend.

I made this in new years, hi

Can't stop. Won't stop.

There's studies suggesting that AI usage is causing cognitive decline, even when it's not causing psychosis and encouraging its users to harm themselves and others, just regular old usage is damaging. Far from a "cognitive amplifier" like this slop peddler suggests, it's a cognitive atrophier.

even in early december i was talking with people at work that had no clue that every family photo they ever posted in the clear, every bday, every meal all was fed into the slop generator. they thought it was "just artists" and didn't connect that their dead granny could get deepfaked. i work in IT!

Left arms pretty bruised from having the cannula in for several days, gonna let it rest for a few days before drawing.

Ahhhhh my own bed feels so nice

I am freeeeeeeeee

Cannula out, discharge paper in hand, just awaiting pickup. ^_^

*repetitive strain injury from tapping the sign*

Underrated point of discussion with the AI + social media uproar is giving thanks to patrons of the arts, especially non-artists, who are willing to put in the effort to support artists at a time when it has never been easier or more normalized to do the opposite.

I know I’ve spent the past week lying in a hospital bed, but I think I’m going to spend a day or two resting in a REAL bed. 🥲

Doc gave me an examination, seems positive that I can go home today. ^_^

I could draw these better and still I'd be less expensive then AI. It's not about the money, they just don't want to support creatives

manifesting: 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 ai bubble 🕯 🕯 to pop disastrously 🕯 🕯 for all involved 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

Felt really nauseous, so the doc gave me an anti-sickness injection.

New Years party so wild I woke up in hospital! (Please ignore the fact that I was already here and just enjoy the joke)

The guy and everyone left at labour are shitstain human beings profiting out of the misery of the people that voted them in who they in turn betrayed to appease the far right and corporations.

Is it mind boggling? His regime has utterly been disastruous for queer people, specially trans people. Has attacked disabled people, censured the internet, cracked down on protests. Emboldened the racism and queerphobia of the far right. Been a transparent corpo puppet through it all.

@brellom.bsky.social Been wanting to draw Elayne for a while, since I'm already drawing some fanart from different artists this month I went ahead and finally drew something for her. Hope you like it. #art

Gotta have the cannula redone again, this one’s starting to hurt, this’ll be the 4th… Guess I got bad veins? 😅

I've realized that genAI is like the warehouse store (Walmart) of tech. It only offers shit quality output for cheap, but it Has Everything so it's convenient if you dont care. Also it's killing the planet. Also it kills people. And grandma doesn't see the issue so she walks right in.

The bursting of the ai/tech bubble is not the existential threat to the gaming industry that the corpos and ai shills claim, contrary, its essential if we ever want things to return to normal eventually. The true existential threat is things simply STAYING as they are now, steering to disaster.

Let's run away before 2026 can find us.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Ughhhh more bloodwork, I think I’ll be bled dry by the time I leave, not getting a vampire gf in this lifetime. 😔

Oh thank goodness, the nurse who just got on shift doesn’t take shit. 🥲

I miss the isolation ward, the Flu ward is full, and whilst most folks are chill, theres always one dude who expects to be treated with priority, and feels personally slighted at every inconvenience, despite staff bring run ragged. He’s annoying as all hell.
