I guess I should formally announce my presence.

Greetings all, I'm Sanya. I'm the CEO of a quaint little game studio I founded, and am interested in Meteorology and the sciences in general.

Me and my studio are making a game ATM, called Project Absentia.

We've been seeing our Holiday Season themed FPS, Saccharine, mentioned a few times here and there on this site and others and it warms our heart.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Waffle Iron Studios!

Any use at this point for LLMs is non-existent except to make the planet hostile and miserable. I refuse to use it for my games and for my art.
So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

Gonna state plainly, for the record, that I'm against AI/LLM use. Whether that be for replacing creative work, distributing misinformation on a mass scale, or invalidating human existence.

I've been doing some deep thinking the past couple weeks. Had some talks with friends of mine.

I'm disengaging from the discourse entirely here on out. No justifying minutae.

Y'all know where I stand currently, that's not gonna change, and frankly I'm tired of repeating myself - here or in private

Ruminations: A 🧵

For the last few weeks I've been on somewhat of a self-improvement journey. Trying to eat better, drinking more water, exercising, improving my sleep quality, etc. In addition I've been spending more time with media that are regarded as noteworthy in some form or fashion (1/?)

It's pretty telling that I have to disable autoplay and censor certain keywords so I don't see IRL footage of some chud getting shot.

It's easy to doomscroll and feel like you're helpless, that's the biggest lie you've ever done.

Creatives that are still putting out work despite everything.

Streamers that still come to hang with their audience day by day.

Individuals that are making calls to representatives.

Keep being great.

Honestly, I wanna be frothing at the mouth and angry but everyone else has that covered.

Ya'll i'm relaxing. Life is good.

Every single person that I've interacted with are so caught up in the stress of what's going on that they're forgetting that they themselves are incredible.

On the heels of me drawing my sona, I extended the piece and drew a bunch of my characters in a height chart - some I haven't shown to the world yet. And yes, they're all very, very queer.

My debut contemporary album, "DESYNC", is 3 years old today. A modern, electronic album all about the modern electronic world.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go turn into a dusty skeleton in the corner of my room.

I drew my sona again for a quick doodle. Decided to make the background a non-binary gradient.

I finally got her proportions looking better and more accurate to what she's supposed to be.

Wow, hard to believe it's been 2 decades. Been modding this port since 06 and it's allowed me to do some utterly mad things with the Doom engine.

🔹 Faithless: Trilogy
🔹 A Boy And His Barrel
🔹 Nameless
🔹 Mercury Rain
🔹 The Joy of Mapping

Cheers to GZ. 🍻
