People saying that you need to garden, that your back yard garden will allow you to be self-sustaining and even feed other people, that you can do a full time job while having this self-sustaining garden, that you can do this gardening while disabled:

Wildly fucking unhinged. Cartoon fantasy shit.

Pretty much I love when (whether it’s necessary for gameplay or not) objects from the game world are made as real objects in some way. In this case, putting news clips on audio tape. Also modern stuff like when Pokémon Center releases in-game objects. It has to be a fun job to make things like that.

The whole concept of how this game “works” is exactly my jam and had I been old enough to play it when it was new I would have been all over this. Kind of silly about the way the ending works, but.

Good 🧵

this is The President Is Missing, a 1988 C64 game set in The Distant Future of 1996.

The box of The President Is Missing, a C64 game. There's guns, ammo, pasports, and security passes on top of a newspaper with the game title on it.

I’m gonna likely pull Follower from GC in the next few days. I don’t support them using AI on creators’ work without permission and I don’t trust that I won’t end up in that blender myself somehow.

With folks reconsidering where they publish their webcomics due to many platforms either being neutral or actively encouraging generative AI, feel free to shoot me an Email at [email protected] if link information needs to be updated in the database. Thank you!

Ughh hospitals are the worst. I hope they put you somewhere quieter and everything goes smoothly and you can get some better rest!!

Bug S. Pumpkins @radiochio.bsky.social · 11h

Oh no. Regret.

Sometimes you’re having a bad time so you make yourself a late night Buldak noodle and then things are still bad but at least you care more about the spice than the rest of it.

It sounds even worse, like starting with AI script garbage and then passing it through another 2-3 people who they admit right there might not even have read the comic?? That’s not helpful to anyone if it’s a misrepresentation. Let alone the AI use. What on earth were they thinking??

Hey, so I'm probably pulling TENACITY off Globalcomix.

Globalcomix made a promotional Youtube video for TENACITY using ChatGPT to write their script for it. I did NOT give my consent to them for this and asked for the video to be taken down(which they did).

Details below ⏬️

I know I'm always banging on about this, but food banks can do so much more with your donation if you give money rather than food itself.

skáld @danglinghemmie.bsky.social · 1d

food banks have already been under pressure over the past several years, and with SNAP benefits expiring they're going to be the only safety net for a lot of people

please donate what you can. $100 can feed several families for a month because of the discounts and purchasing power they have

We’re. *We’re.* I have a migraine brewing and 4 hours of sleep and an old surgery site feels new again for some reason so I’m not having a great time.

Bug S. Pumpkins @radiochio.bsky.social · 1d

The rats are back, in the ceiling this time, and were probably losing SNAP benefits next month like everyone else. I can’t fundraise without losing my disability. Merry Christmas!!!

I hope I live long enough to see the pendulum swing back to kindness and hope because I just can't fathom how this level of hatred and selfishness is sustainable.

Unfortunately it hasn’t done much for me and it’s just one more thing to remember to update. If they’re going to do things like this though, I don’t know that I want to leave my work in their hands so to speak.

Bug S. Pumpkins @radiochio.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah it’s bizarre of them to just misrepresent your work without even asking first. I know they have some rights to use images in the TOS but I don’t think this falls under that. Not thrilled to hear and may end up taking my comics off GC.

If you're on SNAP and you need help, add your links below so I can boost them.

If you're not on SNAP, please share the replies and donate if you're able.

Link's not around so we do what we can, right?

Everyone’s talking about Milpay, but reminder that USDA is currently using excess 25 funds to pay for WIC and School Lunch. They say they have like maybe a month of that left.

Red States are going to lose their fucking minds if they can’t draw those soon.

Wowww that is a huge overstep on their part. I’m sorry that happened to you. Super gross.

Bug S. Pumpkins @radiochio.bsky.social · 1d

Did they ask permission?? That’s really gross on their part. So much for all they say about supporting indie creators. 🙄

Folks if you usually do end-of-year/holiday charity giving, consider moving it up to the beginning of November instead and hit up however many local food pantries you can afford to give to. (Check if you or a spouse/partner's employer does charity matching, too.)

Matthew Cortland (they) @matthewcort.land · 1d

In short, we do not know exactly what will happen with November SNAP benefits if the shutdown continues, but we do know there will not be enough money available to fully fund everyone's EBT card.

"Return of the Obra Dinn" is seven years old this week.

For this not-particularly-special anniversary, here's a re-cammed and narrated timelapse of (nearly) all character creation, object modeling, scene posing, and general 3D work for Obra Dinn from 2015 to 2018:

Yeah it’s disheartening. I jumped on like just between when it was full of indies and they were just starting to make deals with publishers and I never got the traction earlier adopters got. Not sure if it’s worth my energy anymore.
