Hate to do this but I'm quickly running out of hard drive space to process these projects. If anyone feels like helping me fund my mad scientist VHS preservation, now would be the time to do so. Appreciate it.

Reposting an old journal comic because it’s been so rewarding/cool to see me getting better and better at taking care of myself these past months

Panel 1: a character eats a piece of bread and egg while holding a cup of coffee in a kitchen and says “I’m worth it”

Panel 2: same character watched clothes getting soapy and wet in a washing machine and says, “I’m worth it”

Panel 3: character exhaustedly runs on a path by the woods and says, “I’m worth it”

Panel 4: character sits in a bathroom painting their nails while wearing a face mask and says, “I’m worth it”

Panel 5: character sits in a deep bubbly bath smiling and says, “I’m worth it”

Panel 6: in their office, character shuts their laptop closed and says, “I’m worth it”

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process:
- data centers pollute our environment
- energy use drives up costs
- content theft robs creators of income
- the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages
- using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence
- the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape

All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

Genuinely happy that the 7 year long development time was spent working at a leisurely pace, spending time with their families and flexing their creative muscles - with no pressure to expand their company, deliver sooner or read a single reddit post. Smartest people in our entire industry.

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.

Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Why ‘Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make

The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that it’s become an internet meme

Since MB doesn't seem active on here and it's worth seeing a crosspost

Screenshot reading: "They come for porn first because it's one of the easiest things to vilify and the most embarrassing to defend. Because so many of us will automatically laugh at anyone saying 'my inability to purchase/access tentacle hentai is a serious threat to free speech' even when it 100% is"

Screenshot reading: "Have concerns about the Orwellian digital ID pilot program? Good to know you support child predators. Don't think two private companies should have unilateral say over what kind of art can or can't be sold? Touch grass, gooner. A few thought-terminating cliches end all arguments. You have to fight back now, you have to fight back hard, and you have to fight for the stuff you think is gross and creepy and stupid, because the taboo topics you care about are next"

Facts.

If you are averse to seeing smut, porn or nsfw art, which I'm not but I totally understand if you are and it's okay, it takes less than 5 mins to customize your feed. Don't let a skill issue impact your experience or ruin it for others who want to keep this place censorship free.

Pinster W. Glasses @pinsterwglasses.com · Aug 15

Bluesky is customizable enough that Porn can exist and you'll have minimal interactions with it. I haven't seen any explicit material since subscribing to lists and muting porn tags. Not once.

If you let them ban porn, then you'll let them label YOU as porn.

HEY
Do you want to save PORN from being kicked off this platform??
Go tell them your grievances then!

Bluesky is built off the backs of queers, furries, POC, and sex workers alike
WE were the first to join the site back when it was invite only, and WE should have a say in whether we belong!
