got some more rejections from jobs i applied for, and that's most likely the last news i'll receive on that front for a bit, so uhhh, shares/donations appreciated so i can cover december's bills. we got hit with another high electric bill too.

$100/$500.
well, september's almost over and i didn't hear back from a single job. thankfully a few i can apply for opened up, but uh, we'll see.

in the meantime, i'm gonna post this here again. i should be able to pay my bills in october but it'll be tight and unless i land a job i won't-

I can't emphasize this enough: If you're struggling to find work in games, you're not the only one and please don't blame yourself. The horrible state of the industry is unprecedented. The crash in the 80s and the recession in the late 2000s weren't as rough as this. There are so few opportunities.

I hope that on this #GivingTuesday you might consider a donation to my fundraiser for our local shelter. They don't just adopt out animals - they run a low-cost vet and spay/neuter clinic, offer emergency pet housing for domestic violence victims, and so much more. givebutter.com/n5l31M

If anyone is looking, I am on the hunt for freelance or permanent part-time or full-time work in localization! I mainly work and have been trained in print and film media.

Just a heads up this is the last week to order a painting to make sure I can get it done before the upcoming holidays! 💖
It’s technically small business Saturday, yes?

Great time to support the small business that is me and my art 🤭

Thanks to all who have reposted this thread to help get the word out. The selling of these books "as new" on Amazon is making it more difficult for Unbound authors to rebuild what we lost and move on.
Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.

They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.

Only you have the power to kill it.
Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

🧵⬇️
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.
