A quick piece to get back into the groove of things. Past couple of days have been rough. This #spooptober 's theme is #shadow #pixelart

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.

The fact I made this 2 months before the trend kicked off will never not break my soul

I regret making this. #deltarune

Today's #spooptober theme is #lake Originally it was going to be gloomier and more spoopy... but then I drew a🦐and well, what could I do? #pixelart

You know, a more apt word for the cardinal sin of Sloth would be Neglect. It's more accurate to it's destructiveness. A slothful person usually doesn't hurt those around them, mostly just themselves. But a neglectful person? The rot festers and erodes all around them.

You know A.I. is a lot like lead. Makes water funny and engines fast, but it kills the planet and gives you brain damage.

We're going to enter a dark age in gaming because of A.I. bros. Not because of the slop (well that to), but because they're out there stealing developer's work The result will be accelerating stream only gaming. No more owning the game, you only get a projection while it runs on a server somewhere.

Everytime I go back to XIV, I quickly remember how disappointing it is to examine someone's glamour, just to look it up and find it's another cash shop item.

Don't know if folks forgot or if most are just not aware. But I've been seeing an alarming amount of Ubisoft praise on Bluesky since Gamescom. All I ask is that you're aware of what you're supporting. #Ubisoft #Rayman #Gamescom

Could streamers on Twitch get in trouble for not opting out of the A.I. training thingy? Think about it, if a streamer is opted in and shares something that has strict rules against being used to train A.I., then wouldn't the streamer being violating potential TOS of the thing they shared?

@shapemover.bsky.social Hi! If it's no problem, could I ask some questions about your work on the Spamton Sweepstakes page? I want to know about how you made/where you got 90's esque assets that were used. Like the scuffed 3D gifs and clipart-type stuff.

What scares me more than AI is human apathy. The silence from and unwillingness to stand up for others is a cause for so, so many of our problems.

Part of being an AI user in creative works is convincing yourself that everyone ELSE uses it too, because otherwise you have to confront the reality that you're a faker and a fraud

this is not true, and this guy doesn't speak for me! nymag.com/intelligence...

that KH Switch collection pack thing sure has some interesting cover art interesting choice to give Donald a mismatched number of fingers on each hand, and a beak that absorbs into itself
