NEW PINNED!

Hi, I'm Storm, and I'm currently working on a fan game called Pokémon Digit! I'm also interested in lots of other video games and I also sometimes talk politics. Drop me a follow if you want any of that, or all of that!

comparing the old route 2 to the new one for instance - genuinely it is such a huge step up in every area, not even just the tileset but also how a player would navigate through it as well as other details, it's just so much better and i'm really happy that i've improved so much

Storm ΘΔ @stormgallade.bsky.social · 4h

i have to say i'm really proud of how my overworld area design has evolved ever since starting on Digit, i wasn't ever confident in my ability to design things like that but thanks to my partner i've been able to seriously step up my game in that regard and now i'm actually excited to work on them

The thing with bluesky using AI to moderate images isn't that it's training on them, think for 10 fucking seconds about it, but that they are saying "yeah we outsourced that shit entirely, we got no control over it. It says label, we label" etc

(Future tense)

A digital drawing combined with video game elements from Final Fantasy VI and Brave Exius.

The drawing is a trace of a meme screenshot from the Incredibles where Mr Incredible is pointing outside (at the viewer) while glaring at his shorter boss. Mr Incredible has been drawn as Locke Cole, and the boss as Edgar Figaro. In the background is a grassy battle backdrop from FFVI and a rotated, blurry, T-posing model of Terra.

The top has dialog that says "That man is getting MUGGED!!", and the bottom has the battle menu, with the commands:

Fight
Mug

Item

And the character names and their hit points.

TERRA 123
LOCKE 456
EDGAR 789

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.

Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog.

Patients with brain fog may have disrupted AMPA receptor (AMPAR) expression—key molecules for memory and learning. Imaging of Long COVID patients showed elevated AMPAR density tied to more severe cognitive impairment.
