The mad ramblings of a trans girl (She/They) wishing character creators were in real life.

I'm a Irish game dev, character modeller and character creator enthusiast.

I'm currently working on a Racing Game called Stick Drift!

Hi I'm Iris, I'm a solo game dev working on a racing game called Stick Drift and sometimes I stream too.

I'm working using UE5, Blender, Zbrush, Houdini, Substance Painter, Substance designer, Topogun and RizomUV to make it!

Here's some screenshot of stuff I've made!

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.

I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

I got an itch to listen to the I Saw The TV Glow soundtrack cause I love that film and the soundtrack is great.

I hate streaming music and I see they never released a CD version.

Find that I can buy the soundtrack digitally on Amazon and download it.

It's not available in my region.

The fallout of the AI bubble won't be just a financial one, but of mass de-skilling and atrophy
“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”
AI Completely Failing to Boost Productivity, Says Top Analyst
AI may or may not excel at a lot of things, but from an economic standpoint, it's definitely not making us more productive.

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal

i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

Extremely dishonest headline: what they mean is that Wikipedia charges data companies for scraping the website. It already does this for Google it is just further expanding this.

Convienently, there is no email to contact Epic Games support to file a complaint, nor is there a way to get to a human without going through an irritating AI chatbot.

That said, parents of kids who play fortnite and have a fortnite email? You can get to a human using your fortnite parent email.
So how's the gaming industry? Ah.

"No fucking AI assets" - a reminder that many good publishers that will disqualify any prototype with genAI placeholders, and that using it is at your own peril. Hooded Horse happens to be one of the best publishers out there at the moment, so this is a big one.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
