Mega Man told people to pick up a pen that’s my fucking GOAT

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

If a CEO says they care about their employees but they insist on generative AI for "minor uses" like concept art, they do not care about their employees, and especially not the people whose job it is to make the concept art they don't think is very important.

"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

Wanted to let everyone know, please do not pay exorbitant resale prices for my Sounds Of Tokyo-To Future vinyl. I'm apparently popular enough to have someone trying to flip copies for high amounts, but I am going to keep re-printing this vinyl. It will never be a limited edition unless I say so!

Part of the issue is the very term AI has been widened out broadly and infinitely so now we're playing this language crapshoot, during which people can either be mistaken, use the wrong term, not fully understand the term they're using, or just lie. It's a fucking mess.

Throughout history, humans learned about themselves as a society through stories that held up a mirror to the audience. Greek theatre, for example. Final Fantasy VII had a profound effect on me. It taught me about the important things in life, directly shaping my adulthood and the person I would

I think the most discouraging thing about all this AI stuff is I feel like it's just deepening the long term game of lauding a dev *until* something dire comes out. Workplace abuses, AI use, theft, sexual harassment, abusive hiring practices, etc. Like just waiting for a shoe to drop all the time.

There's a billion new indie games that spit on that doomerist propaganda, and if that's not enough, there's a billion more games that came before ShitAssGPT which define the material that glorified scraper steals. We can cross our arms long as we want, and my joints are gettin good at locking up.

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

if you're an artist, writer, musician, creative, if you have a dream and you can't stop thinking about it, write it down and channel it into your creative process!!!

My 2018 christmas album XMAS GOLD is up on youtube in single video forme: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbbK... I added a cozy, animated fireplace visualizer, so you can throw this on the big TV and soak up the vibes.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

i love it when im listening to a song ive heard hundreds of times and suddenly notice something i never did before

Re-Animator is featured in the new Seattle Sound zine from Totalement Rock: linktr.ee/gianalex You can download it and read it for free!

gaming companies pivoting toward using gen ai for their games, “omg why aren’t people buying our games” brother YOU are part of the reason RAM prices are skyrocketing and regular everyday gamers can no longer afford the parts they need in order to play your games 😭

"I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art" just to make reference, get ideas from and outline composition lmao just 90% of what concept is🤣

No creative likes to be compromised by their boss, either at work or on social media.

The utter lack of respect for concept artists and due diligence across the board is disgusting.

Develop “concept art”?? 💀 💀 💀 All the image models solely rely on stolen work of countless of artists to function at capacity. Using them not only is deeply unethical but puts the company at risk. Not worth it and I truly hope ( hell, I’m begging) that they reconsider 😭

Seeing people in the comments saying that To a T was unfun and essentially that he deserves this if he can't make a good game. Gamers, I don't know how else to say this, artists are not supposed to be punished with financial ruin for making imperfect art. That's such a fucked up idea you have

"Hey..." Arguably one of the most difficult lines to deliver well in any story, any genre. There were countless moments of absolute brilliance in this game, but this one line is definitely one of my favorites. Brava, Jennifer English. 👏 We've all gotta work harder. 😤💪 #Expedition33

Se me olvidó ponerles la etiqueta especial a los post lol orz

Hot take, but I think if you have an audience, you are responsible for that audience because they're a reflection of you. If folks are in your spaces harassing other people, especially on your behalf, and you choose to do nothing about it, you're letting everyone know that's acceptable to you.

Dos canciones esta semana. Tuve el placer de dirigir a @anzumvrdok.bsky.social en todo este proyecto, por cierto, así que si le dan una vuelta a sus videos harán felices a dos personas 💕

at some point, the most difficult thing you can do as a music artist is to avoid doing anything difficult in a song while still making it bang

oh my god i forgot to do this sorry sorry sorry

My xmas playlist is up, now with Bandcamp links for everything: nicholasburgess.com/xmasplaylist Since posting, I found some more (appropriate) christmas songs, so I may do an update in the next day or two. No new tracks from me, but I included some of my classics. Let me know what I should add!

LRP writing for kids doesn't mean what you write doesn't matter, or that you care less about it, or even that it necessitates less depth or nuance. it just means you're communicating with them where they're at. anybody who doesn't get that shouldn't BE writing for kids. bc you don't respect them

But Ankari, you can opt out! And they're only using that to improve their service! Uh-huh, but only until they update their ToS and suddenly the rules of the game are exactly what we all know they want, because X, Meta and Google are doing it. 😌⚰️ I'm not risking missing that by accident

Today, in Corporations Just Want To Abuse People, I closed my Upwork account (abandoned for yeeeears) because they're forcibly training on freelancer content starting January. Scream IF YOU HAVE AN UPWORK ACCOUNT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CLOSE IT TOO

When I was a teenager my favorite Vocaloid was Yowane Haku, the "Voyakiloid" that represented "failed" Hastune Mikus whose owners never figured out how to actually make the program sound good. Her first bit of art here by her designer, Caffein, kind of tells you everything. Sad and drunk.

UNBEATABLE is out, I've been following this game for a long time! I'm so excited to play and happy to have a song in it via the variety folder. (Twist Sound) Thanks @dcellgames.com and @superspin.digital for making that crossover happen!

It's possible that I've been following the games business for so long and have become *so* jaded (rightfully so!) that I am baffled at the idea of anyone not being as jaded as I am.
