Don’t know how to say it other than, creatives are currently enduring an Era of Punishment from rich people who just despise people with functioning brains.

there's a bitter irony here: the 'fan protest' around the original ending of Mass Effect 3 was a blueprint for where we are now. Weaponization of consumer-uber-alles mindset, online brigading, etc.

"It's the only truly ethical position but I'm not taking it" is certainly a thing you can say when your entire brand is anticapitalism, I guess

I'll be honest, there is nothing more demoralizing to me than devs saying "I know AI is built on theft, and anti-labour, and harms the environment, but I'm going to use it anyway bc I don't believe individual choices matter". This is how a movement fails. www.molleindustria.org/blog/future-...

I sincerely believe we're at a tipping point right now where AI usage, especially AI code usage, is on the verge of becoming normalized in some sections of the indie scene, and I dunno, if we can't push back against that then I think we're pretty conclusively on the back foot against AI as a whole

right now there's no guarantee AI usage becomes embedded in indie games. We're a scene. We don't HAVE to be this. Individual choices couldn't matter more in this moment. To see that you can make a small, positive impact at mild inconvenience to yourself and say "nah" is to give up on a better world.

Just to be clear, we do NOT use AI to make games at PUNKCAKE Délicieux. Honestly it's annoying to have to say it, but since I keep seeing "gamedevs are all secretly using it"... Well, no. AI is for losers. That's not how you make good, creative and/or meaningful games. The art is in the craft.

Another Pepperbee room concept. I am very happy with its idea, and once it can be realized, you'll see 🤫 Also the best wood rendering I ever did with pixels. The background will have elements to make the lighting less flat, this is just the raw art. #Pepperbee #pixelart

Remember when I asked if "Australia Did It: End-of-the-World Railway Defense Business" would be superior a title to "Australia Did It" & y'all agreed & I said I'd go talk to the publisher about it? Oh, before I forget: launching November 10th! Please do wishlist :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBFl...

If you think something is harmful, the harmful does not stop when it's ubiquitous. It just means the harm is vast and widespread. I fundamentally do not care how useful you think it is.

Listen, if you're going to live in a house, it's just going to have asbestos in it. The asbestos works, folks. If you're going to draw the line at "no asbestos in anything" you're going to have to live in a yurt

Buried in the rings of Saturn lies a cluster of hope. A cluster of progress. A cluster of discoveries. A cluster of hubris, danger, and death. 💀 A colony in crisis. It's time to come home, Dalia. Ambrosia Sky is 30% off on Steam until October 15th: ambrosiasky.com
