i love talking to other creatives so much. whether youve been making things since last week or since you were 3, we're all peers and i love to chat about art and the creative process when i can. feel free to ask me any questions you want!!
Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.

I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

If I had a penny for every cloudflare outage that’s happened in the past month I’d have two Pennies

i just remembered the fact i learnt of coldplay via that minecraft parody of paradise that came out in like 2014 and somehow not because my dad was really into their earlier work and played a ton of it for me growing up

Originally i was gonna use the fortnite save the world video to also talk about how i feel BR's massive success pushed the industry in a direction where a lot of games are just forever games that print money until the end of time but at this point i might just make that its own topic one day

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

🧵⬇️
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

This is a Valid Complaint and the solution is putting your money where your mouth is and financially supporting the creators who make things you like that are Not This.

Or to create the kind of thoughtful critique you want to see yourself.

i emphatically reject the idea that Arc Raiders' use of AI voices is 'ethical' because an actor got paid because it relies on an unrealistic view of the world where VAs aren't underpaid, overworked and underappreciated.

random 1am thought but i really wish superhero movies would eventually grapple with or acknowledge just how much innocent loss of life and destruction happen in them because its always rubbed me weirdly how they do like 5 horrific casualty filled events a second and move on like nothing happened

i get why this is common consensus but ppl being like "the steam controller is kinda ugly but the functionality is great!" makes me shake my head. i think it looks beautiful. shes so unique and tall. the thumbsticks look shiny gorgeous. the slight rotation on the trackpads is so playful.

Hey all. I really hate to make this post and while I don't really expect much to come of it, I may as well try as I'm basically out of options at this point.

I'm getting crushed by my debt as my interest keeps rising, and despite my efforts I can't make a real dent in it.

Bekka's situation has gone from bad to worse. Help her out if you can!
EMERGENCY

The hearing went badly, and we're not considered tenants. I may have to leave without my partner and daughter imminently.

PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP. I HAVE NO RESOURCES LEFT
... I've avoided doing this for as long as possible but my partner is not able to support both me and our child with their earnings, and I currently have no money coming in other than a potential compensation for the trespass and assault on me last month.
