Fuck me this is bleak.
But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.
‘Children's book illustrator isn't a job anymore.’ I've been out of work for a while now. I made children's book illustrations, stock art, and took various art commissions. Now I have several maxed out credit cards and use a donation bin for food. I haven't had a steady contract in over a year. two weeks ago, when a client who has switched to AI found out about this he gave me $50 out of "a sense of guilt." Basically pity for the fact that Illustrator, as a job, does not exist anymore. It was my birthday recently and I sincerely considered not living anymore. The worst part of all is that the parents who once supported me fully in being an artist sent me an AI generated picture of a caricature of themselves holding a birthday cake with my name spelled incorrectly.

Even the smallest trailer slot for Gamescom is unattainable for indies. It'd basically bankrupt us!

So if you wanna help a tiny indie get some visibility, then I'd love if you could check out our awesome game - there's giant capybaras in it!

Mega Victreebel
Scene from Ant Man (2015). Scott Lang gives his daughter Cassie Lang an ugly doll. She says it's ugly, but also, that she loves it. Mega Victreebel is added to the image to convey the same sentiment about the design of Mega Victreebel.

I'll admit that the AI features in PDF reader have fundamentally changed my experience - I now have to angrily click past a pop up before I can read the PDF I need to.

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

this just in: im an abusive gamedev for (checks notes) making you feel things
negative steam review: Scripted death right in the beginning of the game, no way to avoid, no way to remove the 'achievement' stain from your play history when it happens And the game dev and their crony community call this 'a pivotal part of gameplay mechanics' and not what it actually is, a direct, coded betrayal of player trust. Why should I bother investing any further time in this title when the dev just seems comfortable arbitrarily killing you whenever with no recourse to fit their childish metaexamination of savegame mechanics? Life is too short to be a script kiddie's emotional punching bag. Even worse I have no idea how many more 'omg you died teehee' little moments and 'achievements' they've created to litter my profile with unerasable proof of failure. But since the art is pretty and it's about friends, everyone will just ignore how emotionally abusive insertdisc5 is and how casually they just dismiss all criticism Last and most bitter to me, the game is paced that you don't get the gutpunch till JUUUUST after the refund window. I kind of feel that was deliberate on the dev's part to even more severely punish people like me who don't enjoy being railroaded into character death. Toby Fox did the same motherloving thing with their ;uwu omg toriel scripted crit,; and the community defended his abusive actions then just as I expect insertdisc5's will do here. I am so motherloving tired of indie game devs being emotionally abusive and calling it cheeky fun

I haven't even started recolouring yet, but I'm so so happy with how these little mock ups for Bug Brains' new playdough art style are turning out
A mock up card from Bug Brains, every element of the card design, aside from the text, has been made out of playdough. The card is named 'Feisty' and has a little orange and yellow symbol which looks like a flame or a meteorite. The card is split into three segments, each ending in an arrow pointing off the right-hand side of the card. Each segment contains some placeholder dice symbols, all showing a single pip for now.

Really enjoying the Everdark Libra boss in Nightreign so far. Haven't beaten it yet, but it's a fight that has caused to put our heads together to actually strategise our class and build choices and figure out a path to victory. Really great stuff

i think the future of games for children is going to be nonexistent if there is a lack of funding for educational games and all of these online games intended for children are being swarmed with adults
