Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

If you can't be bothered to write it, I can't be bothered to read it.
If it's not worth having a human make, it's not worth having a human interact with, period.

Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!

Oh no I just saw a picture of the art supply suitcase go by so it must be time for my yearly psa: don't buy that.
I've been given it many times in my life and it was usable once: in 1989.
"But I don't know what to get my artist friends/talented cousins for the holidays!"
I will help.

When this is over I want trials. Consequences. I don't want to "move on", I want the whole world to stop while we have trials. I want their names taught to my grandchildren in their history class. Traitors.

Until I had kids, and specifically ND kids, I did not realize how much stuff we expect humans to absorb with NO EXPLANATION, or we are expecting parents who were also not taught to teach their children. It’s one of the reasons I believe so strongly in showing what goes into textiles.
Also, stop being condescending shitheads when someone asks a question you think is obvious. If they're not asking why a certain group deserves human rights or something, there is literally NO REASON not to be generous and helpful!
This is so soulless, I can't stand it. We have BRAINS. We can USE THEM.

“Never played it never will!” - Not the point.
“Garbage game, who cares.” NOT THE POINT!
“Only losers play it anyway.” NOT! THE! POINT!
The point is SOLIDARITY with trans people - specifically the trans women who are target by HP’s creator - and holding those who claim to be allies accountable!

And as much as I love the “Never played, never will” crowd in the replies… this isn’t about that right now.
This is about the integrity of those who DO PLAY IT and CLAIM to be allies.
This’ll be a check to see if those people and spaces are actually trans safe or if it’s just all lip service.

Are you someone who claims to be a “trans ally”?
Cool! Here’s your new test to see if you actually are a trans ally for real or just for “social media clout.”

Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store.
If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much).
If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking:
-fancy ginger beer
-coconut water
-premium juices like lychee and guava
-apple cider with cinnamon
-Italian sodas
-sparkling water
Lots of options!

as paradoxical as it sounds, compression socks get past so many of my issues with wearing socks and I almost prefer them to bare feet by now.
"you hate socks? what if we gave you even more sock and made it tighter?"
"yeah actually that might work"

It's almost like making the effort to learn a thing teaches you more about it than just asking the closest idiot to tell you what they think about the subject and copying that down
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
