A weird Xmas tree

❄️🌲🪾📖 I hope everything goes well for all of you animals who live inside the screen of my phone.

Doing white grievance gutter racism louder than any politician since southern governors in the 70s, and they’re underwater with white people, lol.

i think if you use genai for anything, even writing an email, you're both a moron and a huge baby, and i dont want to play your video game as a result. its not that hard!

If you wake up early on Sundays you can find the used book market next to the central market 📚📖

Happy Solstice ❄️

So long, Substack! I've moved my newsletter, Kirk's Notes, to a new home with its own URL and everything. I wrote about that, along with some other plans for 2026: www.kirksnotes.com/p/new-home-n...

there is absolutely no place for AI in the creative process at any stage. not in the finished product, and definitely not in conceptualisation. why would you start a project on rotten foundations?

I told myself to relax and do something else, but here I’m again. Krampus is feeling left out, let Krampus in your home.

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

I got the chance to photograph a whole border collie family today 🐑🐕

FLAT FUCK IS COMING TO TOWN!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS GATOR LOVERS!!

I have ideas like…every thirty seconds. Most of them suck. But many of them have been scaffolding for ideas I am actively trying to come up with, and a computer cannot give you that, no matter how much of other artists’ blood sweat and tears you feed it. Never. There is no good use for genAI.

Man. So fed up with those fast running impalas. Beautiful early christmas gift I got from @volpin.bsky.social here! Dog in front is @archinist.bsky.social :3

In Tales from Myriad, you get to roll a D20 to choose one of the most important aspects of any TTRPG character, how fancy a hat you're wearing! Will the dice choose a giant leaf, the bell of a tuba or maybe even a stitched mascot head? #TTRPG #TabletopGaming #TalesFromMyriad

oh my god

Guess I'll post this again

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

dreamed i won a salad making competition by googling "hitler's favorite salads" finding a listicle of hitler's 20 favorite salads and letting the judges know my opponent had made hitler's 17th favorite salad

Keep going. Be meaner. Aim whatever lizard-brain impulse you have towards cruelty and violence in this direction.

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."

When some stupid CEO or any AI apologist says "Let's face reality, AI is here to stay", what they mean is "Let's validate and normalize a reality techbros are trying to push on everyone so they can continue to fap to their inhumane delusions while profiting off it"

Jesus Christ, fuck @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov . I’m so embarrassed for having voted for them.

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

cold

the larian stuff sucks to hear a lot. you have to be a true all-timer loser to think generative AI is useful for concepting ideas or artwork. you let the machine do the fun part you dumbass. it doesnt tell me you think efficiently it tells me youre a fuckass who's given up on being interesting

showing a trailer at the Game Awards costs anywhere from $450,000 to a cool $1 million.. here's my old-ass Tiny Tires trailer for free ❤️ #indiegames

Here are the final images of my version of Vermeers "Girl with a Pearl Earring". I call it the "Cat with a Pearl Earring" It is a modern photorealistic interpretation, but I tried to use the same pigments Vermeer used in 1665. I hope you like it :) Oil on canvas (460 g/m²), 60x40 cm, ~50h of work
