I deactivated this acc a mont ago because the "serious studios don't use genAI" discourse felt navel-gazing and myopic in relation to the scope of the threat of genAI in games, like a chest-beating call and response to refuse looking at it. I was called names and shut down.

I just came here to say:

This is my life now, I reckon.

told an Scandinavian friend who I haven't talked to for over a year that I just up and left the US when the grad student deportations started and I love that I made that impression on her.
I assumed you wouldn't be present for any of that nonsense because you're too fed up with nonsense already but it's still good to hear

Out with "adult friendships are so hard :(". If you can't make new friends or keep your current ones, you're old enough to understand that kind of issue if a ✨skill issue✨. Prioritize, be awkward, make friends.

BONUS: Romantic relationships aren't inherently better or more meaningful than others.

Jesse boy thinks that lazying with me is part of my morning obligations.

He's not WRONG, but he likes that activity way too much.

I like walking around. I love finding new favorite places anywhere I am.

Some of them I visit when I need rest, some when I want to have fun, and some when my heart needs fuel to keep burning.

I told my friend a funny bit about game development and she gifted our class with this
Banner with grey clouds and written Papyrus (red) the sentence "graphic design is my passion), but the start has a bigger Arial "gamedev" on top of it so it reads "gamedev is my passion". There's what's probably a cartoon frog jpg on the right but a Josephine (dragon age) looking "caught " and embarrassed is in its place.

Bring the light. 🐍❄️🌟
Tattoo on a light skinned outer upper leg, close to the knee, of a blue snake with a dark diamond on its forehead wrapping around Neve's scepter, with its head reaching in the middle of the scepter's circle. Blue light comes out of it and it has a watercolorish blue background.

Every single day Jesse tries to convince me to give up on the needs of the capital and just pet him nonstop #cats
Majestic fluffy orange and white cat happily plopped right in the middle of a work desk, blocking every work implement.

I learned today that Alberta is officially rat-free, unlike every other human settlement in the world save for the poles.
Edit of a tumblr post of two people interacting. Edited parts are between asterisks: Person 1 Hey *AB*? What the FUCK does this mean? Person 2 *we have a rat patrol specifically designed to keep rats out of our province if they hear about a rat nest on the border they’ll drive out and exterminate them* Person 1 That’s a terrifying answer, have a nice day

Self-portrait from memory, and the artist has prosopagnosia.
Alcohol based marker self portrait. Headshot of a white-looking femme in profile, with wavy/curly brown hair in a messe.ponytail/bun, rosy cheeks, spots and pimples. Their nose is long and eyelids slightly droopy, and a small chin. They're serious. They're wearing orange headphones with a black center with white flowers.

Close up on the person, normal and wearing the same outfit as the first panel, with the scarf over the lower half of their face. Their gaze is blank, and a magenta thought bubble is coming out of them. Same person/pose, with them with closed eyes, and a magenta colored sigh coming out of them. The person seen from being, magenta inside and with magenta tendrils coming out of them. Them: Oh my god. Stop it already. Narrator: Until then, however "It" and I will deal.

Drawings in grayscale. Top: the person chatting and drinking with other anonymous people on top. Bottom: the person is reading in the bed, under the blanket, petting a cat and with another on top of the blanket. Narrator: Although it down let up at times. Panel all in vibrant magenta, full of scratches and bite marks in white. Highlights are in white. Narrator: I feel like of they opened me up, They'd find the inside of my torax, of my stomach thigh, neck, ALL OVER lined with SCARS from whatever is trying to escape. The person, wearing sunglasses and coat, has a disheveled hair and looks irritated. They're putting on the coat. A magenta muzzle with open mouth with teeth is coming out of their chest. Narrator: Some days are worse than others. Person out of frame: Why are you wearing sunglasses at night? Another person out of frame: Are those pyjamas? Narrator: (and some weeks, months, years even) Close up of the lower part of the face of the person, in profile. It's mid transformation into a beast, with pointy teeth and widening mouth.

It took me back right here, five a few months after moving countries... ironically, just like now. (1/3)
Black and white drawing of a fem person wearing a hat, jacket, and backpack walking. They have a scarf over the lower half of their face and their expression is blank. Narrator: I guess the correct term would be "emotional and sensory discomfort." Same character but the edges are blurry and the inside is in vibrant magenta. Narrator: I identify it as "pain". Silhouette of a werewolf roaring in front of a full moon, black and white. The text is on the moon and on the creature and highlights are in magenta. Narrator: I fell like the Thing... Or a werewolf. Like something LIVING is TRAPPED inside me Like I'm about to SNAP into something else Silhouette sketch of the person walking down the street, with a bus stop and other people. A magenta wolf figure comes out of the person's chest and roars on top of it. Narrator: Physically, there's nothing wrong with me. But it doesn't really go away.

And then it's 3am and you finally open the digital copy of the chapbook you bought and never received, going "it's not the same as paper, but might as well read at least one poem before falling asleep", and you get Seen and you don't even know what to do now.
sometimes, conversation feels like a bird inside, in wait a bird asleep rib-caged sternum-nestled a word astray this pulse should crack the voice in half lungs hissing air bleed nervous laughter wings flail beak snaps and something’s torn but smile—always smile— grinning, bone-toothed, blocks the view of something red-raw pulsing outward avian lungs gasping for air for air for air
