my brain, unprompted: vtuber agencies are to gen z what influencer houses were to milennials

Follow up on this case in a video format- also showing how the "artist" in question tried to fool people with a progress video showing that they do not trace genAI pictures- plot twist tho! They used fucking chroma key to hide the layer with pic under their sketch on the video 🙃 youtu.be/bokGdQOHGrw

Using my voice as a creator to put out a small PSA on how to disable the new feedback feature on our favorite overly-nosey payment processor. Reminder to never comm details on payment websites, and to never directly link your payment pages to your NSFW work.

No notes

finally got around to playing touhou mystia izakaya, and the vibes are immaculate, i have never been this chilled out in my life (no i have not seen later levels yet and i am shaking in fear)

watch out guys im gonna do it... im gonna.. im gonna get my shit togetheR...... (learning how to RELAX and ENJOY time off) (goes to bed EARLY)

THIS. Frustration tolerance is the key to getting good at anything at all, not just art. Socials media makes it so easy to compare yourself to others, but you just have to ignore that and have fun with your little drawings. Do it enough and you'll eventually get better through trial and error.

RICH PEOPLE NEVER EVER LEAVE WHERE THEY WANT TO LIVE IF THEIR TAXES INCREASE FOR THE OBVIOUS REASON THAT THEY CAN EASILY AFFORD IT

starting up "berlin apartment" demo and finds out the game, is in fact, very german the english voice over is not bad by any means, but my dumbass brain hardstops when i hear the accent, to no fault of the VA btw it literally is just me the good thing is i can switch to OG language narration lol

Patreon Policy Team emailed creators saying they'll host a livestream clarifying existing 18+ guidelines on DEC 11. If you're a creator please show up! You can submit issues you'd like them to cover in the rsvp form.

You alright man? I keep seeing small damage numbers coming off you

shhhh

prain got flattened by socializing the whole day i kinda just wanted to grab a little game (no thoughts no skills just vibes) but not me actually taking their promo art and zooming in just in case there is some AI slop going on here

At about $60K that's about 128 million graduate team indie games, at $150K about 500,000 small indie games, at $300K about 250,000 mid-size debut indie games, or at around $950K about 110,000 indie games by a team of more experienced devs. There are a total of 110,000 indie games on Steam.

just bought this! may or may not use the assets in a final project BUT now i definitely have at least a clean placeholder file that wont make my hair fall out bc im bothered by the sketch optics of prototyping

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.

In the 90s millenials were taught the person on the other side of the computer could be a 40 year old which pre-teen you had no business talking to. They need to remember they are now the 40 year old and the person on the other side could be a pre-teen they still have no business talking to.

got up after resting in a quiet dark room for 4 hours (long day, man) after finally getting a breakthrough on a composition for a comm at midnight tired but we are on the wayyyyy

The amount of damage done to art and media literacy the last 20 years with the Abrams Mystery Box TM and "Lore" prioritized over theme and character (in a capitalistic shared universe sense for story as "content") is crippling. All I can do is put stories out into the world that stand for something

it's december !! 🙀 good excuse to post these guys again ...!

heckeronies i need to finish this lool

#wip #timelapse #ffxiv working on a new y'shtola and matoya postcard. they are having tea and snacks!!! please enjoy my wonk ass process.

Windows XP? In my FFXIV?

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 :')

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.

i misplaced my planner again and everytime i do i age 25 more years where tf is it

happy starlight!!! 😊💖💕 #nimnai #ffxiv

THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL SEAL ROCK COAT IS DUAL CHANNEL DYABLE

I don't care if a non-disabled person accesses a disability accommodation for the same reason I don't care if a child whose parents are rich gets free lunch at school. We don't need to means test being a kind person. I have better things to do with my time than be a cop over social services.

square finally posted hq yaoi

A """funny""" thing I've noticed is that if you see a buckwild and totally made up claim on Reddit and then search that claim on Google, trying to source it, the Gemini AI summary will be like "oh, yeah, that totally happened, and my source is that three hour old Reddit thread you were just reading"

we are fucking under attack dot png

NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans. Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for. futurism.com/future-socie...

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped). It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it. Make sure you have these disabled.

took a glance at the tiktok discussion of the week about a Wasian girl sideeyeing white ppl in asian stores &all i can say is tiktok commenters are just assuming the worst, when all her video was is a little tongue in cheek confession that would be completely normal in like a friend private chat lol

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word! RSVP link: bit.ly/44lRMsX Details below 👇

It's so fucking stupid. It's so fucking enraging. Russia got kicked out no problem upon starting a war, but noooo we gotta have pop music from the apartheid and genocide state. Fuck me.

called my roomie "my quirked up white boy" and he gave me the side stinkeye

all this tells me is i'm a yearner...... ever since sam came out with NIRVANA he has had me by the throat... yearnmaxxed tf straight off the charts

this is the moral panic the idea that a story, painting, drawing, video game, or other creative work that depicts uncomfortable topics is the same thing as real life CSAM or violence against women is how we end up having to scan our faces to open Spotify no one is harmed by fiction or art

1) IQ is a measurement of problem solving invented to keep poor and black people out of academia. Has little to do with intellect. 2) IQ is not genetic, it changes with academic growth, hence why it was so useful for #1. 3) This is eugenics. If you support this you ARE philosophically a fascist.

reminder: It is illegal to use a device like the Allmiibo ($12) to skirt around the $30 greed of a $4b company UNLESS of course you own every Amiibo and manually scanned them into the Allmiibo (after wiping it because it comes preloaded with all of them) you should never do this

bonus: he wants to make Grok the arbiter and feed all your posts to it
