genuine q: where do you find your optimism every day, as an artist or a creator?

(i've been drawing and drawing for freelance work, and hoping to get some time to create something of my own next year, but it's difficult to keep being optimistic about sustainability and relevance in a hellscape)

Ads for ICE recruitment on Spotify, their CEO invests in AI military tech, and so on.

Game design sure is messy sometimes, but it's also beautiful

it's still pretty hush hush, but there is a middleware company you can find that does this for many studios - and i'm not gonna advertise them :3

So cool!!!

Games were already pushing things at different prices in different player contexts, which created what you mentioned, it's just now it's some AI data prediction BS that drives it.
October 13, 2025 at 9:59 AM
Agreed, "AI adds nothing" is pretty on brand.
October 13, 2025 at 9:57 AM
As with most bad things, AI amplifies the problem.
October 13, 2025 at 9:20 AM
(a good warning for how AI can use our data to squeeze as much money as possible out of EVERYONE, when data is not protected, and when AI is given control of a system to fulfill the greedy intent of rich CEOs/greedy governments)
October 13, 2025 at 8:30 AM
(there is now different IAP prices in mobile games for different players, using AI on their data to predict behavior. Higher priced bundles when players are most engaged/vulnerable/addicted, cheap prices when players are about to leave the game to maintain addiction/squeeze revenue)

AI-optimized in-app purchases 🤢

(hopefully i never have to work on mobile games ever again)
In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand

I've been obsessed with Puppet Sunsun since stumbling upon it in a random shop in Tokyo a couple years ago. So proud of Sunsun for growing and getting its own TV show since then!

But THIS? This is SO GOOD 😭.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Yay!!! Thanks for playing, glad you're enjoying it! I hope you'll like the surprises in the boxes too :)
