they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

it’s a time of year where people often feel isolated, alone & the shadows of the world seem closer. I’ve lost friends during this time of year, people who I know would have found the light again. just a reminder to reach out to friends, family or support organizations. just take that first step.

Some people spend too much energy stigmatizing other people's lives. "Live and let live" is a pretty simple mantra.

Rolled credits on the ZA DLC. Onto the post-game.
I have to say, I can see how this DLC isn't gonna be for everyone, but it is EXTREMELY my thing. I absolutely love it in every way. I already enjoyed ZA and this DLC elevates it to one of my all-time favorite Pokemon games.

Didn't have a chance to upload it earlier, but the catch went perfectly! (After missing Hypnosis 6 times...)
I had a single Love Ball, and was hoping it'd work once it finally shined. 💗

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Some of my earliest games used sprite edits, ripped assets, and other things that were common back in the day. Some might argue using AI is no different.
But studying other man-made things opens a pathway to learning how to make your own.
With AI, the path to learning is significantly more narrow.

On the topic of concept art and coming up with ideas, I love when people commission and show me a doodle of what they want done.
This was a commissioned piece for @glitchxcity.bsky.social that I worked on earlier this year.

The gaming industry at large vastly underestimates my ability to sustain myself on indie games, older games, and roguelites.
Hell, I have a backlog that can last me several years, which is more than enough time for the bubble to burst and everything to crumble to dust. Do as you want, bozos.
