Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

It's that time again, folks. I have been told I will be let go from Heart Machine next week. The people there have been amazing friends and coworkers and anyone else who has been affected deserves all the love and support.

I will be updating my portfolio soon; any Env Art leads would be appreciated

Look at what we could have. look at what our tax dollars could pay for. Instead we’re paying to have ICE pepper spray directly into the air hole of a guy in an inflatable frog costume

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I'm only interested in singleplayer and coop games. I'm done playing competitive across the board, unless it's only with friends all in the same discord call

Makkon @makkon.bsky.social · 1d

I'm mostly disinterested for gameplay reasons, but this is a good point too

When they show you their true colors believe them.

In this case the blue sky CEO is cooperating with fascists, and even coining new dog whistles.

big gothic castle in quake from last year. didn't make it for any other reason than I was using it to make new textures and enjoying myself.

screenshot of a long stone bridge overshadowing a medieval town. the bridge has a gatehouse in the middle, which leads to the entrance of a castle

the entrance to the castle. tall towers and turrets are scattered everywhere, it's an insane and dysfunctional layout mostly for showing off

the implausibly large keep in the center of the castle. octogonal tower with turret towers in the corners that go up the whole length.

a higher up view of the towers at the gate, with the massive keep visible in the back

hey bluesky staff. I've never seen anyone fumble the bag as bad as you. you are butchering the golden goose because you are too stupid to know what you have.
or rather, had. that goodwill is gone, there's no coming back from this without tremendous hard work (and a new CEO)
