EVERYONE DO THIS SURVEY MAKE DISCORD PANIC AND REGRET AND REVERSE COURSE DROWN THEM IN YOUR HATRED FOR GENAI

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but constant, chaotic, unfiltered news and social media can overwhelm the mind—flooding your attention, stirring up emotions, and making it hard to think clearly. It’s okay to step back and be selective about what you let in. Your mental well-being matters.

Weeee he has a sweater! But it's cold outside, can we give him a hat?

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Heya gamedev folks! Do you know any Senior Animators that are looking for work? We are looking for one to help us out!

FYI I learned BigCartel has an "AI Shield" setting which I just turned on. This prevents training bot crawlers, but it may not stop the type of scraping Amazon is probably doing. So not sure it will hep but worth a try.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

A truly great idea. 10,000 ethical assets freely available. There’s no excuse for resorting to so-called AI with this and the *many* other assets you can use without resorting to laundered plagiarism. Support real artists, not con artists.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Chaos gremlins found the Christmas tree!!! 🌲🐈‍⬛ My black cat Sophie absolutely demolished our fake Christmas tree last year, so this card was definitely inspired by her mischief haha ❤️ #cuteart #artshop

There's now an AI warning notice browser plugin for itch.io as well as Steam #AI #itch #GenerativeAI

I made a little color slider for a mini picrew-but-with-frogs project! 🐸🌈 I tested it on a simple sprite, and my idea is for sliders like this to change the color of the frog's body, eyes and cheeks.

Me and who? 🥺❤️ #cuteart #sticker #artshop

This is a lovely idea in a hard time for trans young people, and they're taking donations, too:

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from. tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this. 🧵⬇️

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

I think studios need to start offering internships to all entry level candidates rather than just those enrolled in a program. Many people can't afford school, and non-internship entry level jobs at studios basically don't exist these days. There's a whole bunch of talent just sitting in limbo 😞

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
