Unexpected TTRPG design hurdles: having to manually recreate 120+ PDF bookmarks on a version update because exporting from GDocs doesn't render all the characters properly and Print-as-PDF doesn't carry over bookmarks

I feel like the worst part about the current use of the word "indie" is that it means:
- "solo bedroom dev jobs by one trans lesbian furry in her bedroom"
- "15 people went to a publisher and got money to make a game"
- "this game is made by ex ubisoft employees and 500 other people"
- "solo bedroom dev jobs by one trans lesbian furry in her bedroom"
- "15 people went to a publisher and got money to make a game"
- "this game is made by ex ubisoft employees and 500 other people"

The more I think about the situation with E33 and GenAI assets in games in general, the more I feel like things are worse than people are realizing. 🧵 1/20

It needs to be treated as importantly as "no animals were harmed during the making of this film"
Because yeah, for a time? Animals got harmed and people accepted it as a part of the process. And it was wrong.
So is this, and it needs to stop.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

This, and just as a general note - LLM chats (yes, including yours) are in no way secure. Claims to the contrary are bullshit and hype.
Yet another reason to block LLMs apps you don't explicitly authorize in the enterprise. Threat actors using malvertising to drive victims to shared chats with malicious instructions.

A physical release for War Stories once it's done is something I've considered, but stuff like this legitimately makes me wonder if it's worth even trying.
Heads up for all my art friends that have an online store.

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).
It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.
Make sure you have these disabled.

A truly great idea. 10,000 ethical assets freely available.
There’s no excuse for resorting to so-called AI with this and the *many* other assets you can use without resorting to laundered plagiarism.
Support real artists, not con artists.

More coverage of our 10,000 Game Assets Pack, this time on Dexerto. We really do appreciate all the support everyone is giving this - basically it makes the last year of working on it full time worthwhile & spurs us on to create more assets!! www.dexerto.com/gaming/indie... #gamedev #indiedev
