If I see a genAI slop thumbnail for your YouTube video, I won’t watch it. If I see a genAI slop picture or text in your blogpost, I won’t read it. If I see a vibe coded game, I won’t play it. I like human created stuff. Imperfections are good. They are personal. They are art.

New treatment starts today.. Off of Adalimumab and on to Risankizumab.. Not sure if this is a positive change or not. We’ll see! 😅 #crohnsdisease

From the horror master behind Train to Busan comes Colony, a new Korean zombie thriller about a rapidly mutating virus that is released during a biotech conference.

MRI results in, apparently lots of active inflammation. Soon I’ll be switching from Adalimumab to Risankizumab, with strange little stick-on slow injection machines. Explains the energy levels.. At least they still have more things to try. #crohnsdisease

Why is it taking me days to recover from an MRI scan of all things? I don’t remember having this problem in the past. 😑 #crohns #ibd

creative process

I made it my life mission to reference this as many times as I can

Ok! Sora down.. Next the rest of them? 🤞

Avenging Spirit (Arcade, C.P. Brain / Jaleco, 1991)

I fully think less of you if you're impressed by or prefer the Nvidia demo today. Slop.

Ever wanted to make an #Amiga game in Scorpion Engine? This could be a good place to start: mixelslab.com/scorpion/ - it won’t appear new to readers of Zzap Amiga, but I’ve expanded on it and built a section for more tutorials and deep dives.

My Stream Deck is having a seizure. 😵‍💫

Okay please let's not call him that

They also don’t understand how much of the finished art comes from the process of making it. They think the initial “vision” is the magic, and the rest is donkey work. But you learned more about your creation by drawing (painting / sculpting / writing / coding) it. It’s a conversation and a journey.

Showed my dad my Miyoo Mini. He instantly got interested asking if it got Amiga, C64, CPC, all the old PCs and consoles he had. "yuh, got all of them" "man technogy isn't all bad, huh" The GENUINE smile on his face, love to see it.

Godzilla has no fucking idea how to load that paper and is begging you for help.

Everyone ten years ago when The Force Awakens came out: “Wow, this is dumb. Why are the fascists just doing the exact same plan again?” Everyone now: “Oh.”

the idea that lots of gamedevs are secretly using ai is booster bullshit what on earth would I use genAI tools for? Coming up with ideas? Writing? It’s shit at those making 3D models? Coding stuff? It’s shit at that too oh but it’s faster maybe? Did I mention it’s shit at things? seems important

I seem to remember whole congressional hearings about the terrible destructive force that is violence in video games and yet, there is a very strange quiet about an unregulated technology that coaches people to suicide.

I don't think I've actually posted this one on its own, a travesty Asian Tiger Mosquito #pixelart #украрт

Happy to finally be able to release CMO demo 2.. It’s way shorter than the first one, but has much harder levels. #amiga #gamedev

Ok so I have a proposal for how to fix the problem in baseball

Domesticated animals have pulled our heavy carts and turned our large mills for centuries. But what about the opposite end of the spectrum—what if the wheel you want to turn is so small you can’t see it? Turns out we can harness the power of bacteria to power the world’s smallest machines. 1/7 ⚛️🧪

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

Why the fuck is that Monster High Alien collab doing a better job at adapting the original Giger design than pretty much every Alien sequel that ever came out

Can’t decide whether these Statue of Liberty rubber chickens that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” are a little too on-the-nose for these times or if they’re perfect

Since someone mentioned having difficulty finding the original it happened to show up on my fyp

Uugh. Recent blood tests imply strange things happening with my Liver. Further tests soon. Any doctors around with opinions on: Serum procollagen type III N-terminal propeptide level 10.60 ng/mL Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) Test 9.7 😕 #health #medical #advice #askadoctor #medicaladvice
