The mad ramblings of a trans girl (She/They) wishing character creators were in real life.

I'm a Irish game dev, character modeller and character creator enthusiast.

I'm currently working on a Racing Game called Stick Drift!

Hi I'm Iris, I'm a solo game dev working on a racing game called Stick Drift and sometimes I stream too.

I'm working using UE5, Blender, Zbrush, Houdini, Substance Painter, Substance designer, Topogun and RizomUV to make it!

Here's some screenshot of stuff I've made!
Trying to get split screen working and its randomly not spawning one of the player pawns.

Would make sense of it consistently didn't spawn a specific player but it's seemingly random between player 3 and 4.

Plus unreal doesn't seem too happy with me having 4 controllers plugged in.

For people unaware and playing/streaming Where Winds Meet, it uses GenAI for NPC chat bots, and let's you import a photo of yourself and a voice clip for character creation, which I'm sure I don't need to explain why that is fucked up

And no AI disclosure on Steam 🙃

It also has an extremely predatory cosmetic gacha - $42K for a skin if you’re unlucky and $50k for a mount.

Yeah. Yearly salary numbers. Don’t support this trash.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

I got the ubisoft avatar game cause its the only ubisoft game that's caught my eye in like a decade and its very pretty and kinda fun but something that's annoying me is during the daytime in game the FPS drops by 20 frames on my machine, so it goes from a comfy 70-80 FPS at night to 50-60 FPS.

Drew is a friend and seeing her struggle after Sucker Punch failed to protect her from coordinated chuds makes me livid. Stop rewarding this bad behavior. They'll never buy your games anyway, they literally do not care. They just want to feel powerful and in control of others lives.

If you use or were considering using SAMMI, switch to a different program.

The new sole developer is extremely pro-AI, has already started using it in the code, and is in support of its use for genAI images as well. Everyone who protested this was told to leave the server and stop using SAMMI.

Nobody asked for a revival of Vine, but don’t use the revival, since it’s going to be scraped for AI training.

The “No AI on diVine” rule is just there to ensure it’s fed real content and not more AI slop.
Finding out the it'll likely be used to train AI required a little deeper digging.
The articles on this app mention Nostr, but when you look up Nostr...

I wish Pure Ref had an android version so I could put reference on my phone or a tablet easier for when I'm drawing in a sketchbook.

I'm thinking about getting an eink tablet for reading comics and and it would be nice to be able to throw reference on that if I get one.

In college I leaned about her after coming out as 1 of 2 trans people on campus at the time and it gave me comfort that there always were and will be people like me in and around games.

If you can her GoFundMe is still up if you wish to help her family fund her funeral.

I can understand asking for nuance in these discussions, but deliberately muddying the water by bringing up automation tools that people understand are not generative AI and asking for a middle ground is disingenuous. The nuanced position is that people are roundly rejecting the tech, respect that.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

It literally has a disclosure on its Steam page. It didn't "slip through", man. You tried to charge people for a thing that's got slop in it and they're mad.

I have an extension to add a pop-up on the Steam page for it but I really think it should be by default top-of-page.
