Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

In the end, to me personally at least, the primary means of resisting LLM-generated works is to walk away from "retro as content" and go all in on "retro as community"; inexperienced vibe coders struggle to discuss their work in depth without revealing their use. Just like Suno-using music prompters

Internet friends from abroad Meta is known for interfering in many places and we in Brazil are having to fight Mark's Influence Machine that wants us to vote for a candidate that doesn't respect our country's sovereignty (and an alleged criminal) We're doing our best, but pressure Meta as you can

Bluesky isn't a place where trolls come to get mocked and insulted. They love that. Bluesky is a place where trolls come to be blocked and isolated and ignored — which they hate. If you're seeing a lot of shitty people in your feed, you aren't blocking enough people.

Lot of bigots showing up. Remember, don't interact. Just report and block block block.

Looks pretty good in game! Not quite the spooky kind of sky, but hey, it'll do-

One thing I never talk about that I've really grown to enjoy this year specifically is making skyboxes, I'm sure I could make them better, but sometimes simple stuff just looks nice

"i know all the theory of why this is bad but this will never actually affect me so i'm doing it anyway and crying about how torn up i am". go to the philippines and say that straight-faced to the person forced to live 4 feet from the datacentre that churned out all your code that doesn't work

a programming teacher of mine once said the reason adults are harder to teach than kids is because adults want it to be perfect, the way they've seen it before, in their heads, and kids don't really know or care, they just wanna try you learn by doing, a lot of adults are afraid of doing

The mistake I’ve made a lot as a visual artist is wanting the sketch to be as perfect as the final piece. It was a pretty debilitating hang up until I realized it’s necessary to have a project evolve rather than having a fully baked piece from the start. That friction also makes it a lot more fun.

People using AI to reverse engineer games to then turn around and publish clones is straight up theft. Why is anyone pretending otherwise? The only thing genAI is good at making is fucking talentless thieves. Prosecute the lot of them. Sue them to hell.

Showing another feature for this VRC avatar update that honestly might not just be a Sonic thing at this point- I made an object for worlds that can tell these avatars what terrain they're on, it's based off another concept I made originally to play animations from these avatars when using springs!

Kenney’s op rang out like a church bell for the billionaire imps. More than AI use, he correctly points out that Musk and Sweeney don’t actually *make* anything. The ruling class only takes like helpless babies, so pointing out this master/slave dynamic triggers an existential threat to their egos

Kenney@kenney.nl

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Again too tired to do much but Rawan keeps tabs on how much she gets. She’s still 950 out from her full goal which she would ideally have by end of year. I’m hoping to do more bjt I need your help. Please help me help her

clunoween@cluniies.bsky.social

You know who hasn't recieved anything? Rawan! She's her family's primary breadwinner and is trying to get the license to use her degree. 1600 dollars is so much for someone her age to be earning right now! chuffed.org/project/1486...

It has very little to do with how good the models are at coding. In my view they are about as good at coding as they are at image generation. Which is to say, not good at all to anyone whose standards aren't in Hell

Ok so I guess to show *one* bit of progress on the Sonic VRC avatars + map objects : the animation system that's associated with the automation has been SIGNIFICANTLY improved, it can do a lot of animation calls without issue I also added the brake state, complete with its own sound menu!

Ngl choosing which bits of information I want to show early or keep hidden for later is going to be a little tough, but I'll try to not be as silent as before

Your value isn't dependent on the money you make, the roles you book, the numbers underneath your shitposts, etc. Your value is right there, and it was there the moment you existed, and cannot be taken. I know you can't see it. But you are worth so much. Don't let anyone make you feel otherwise.

Ignoring that the quoted dev here is also using AI in their development, I have been looking into this piece for a couple of months and editors (and Valve) are thus far uninterested. But, if you do want to hit me up with similar issues, I’m still on it.

How do you even survive as an indie in the current landscape? This is insane.

Hey folks, this year has been rough for both me and my partner, and I'll sometimes link my Ko-fi to try make up for shortfalls in my income in streaming, especially as bills have been particularly bad lately, but tonight I'd like to ask if your help with my partner's cost of living. Thank you. ♥️
