Hey Erin, nice to meet you and Broccoli! 🥦

Eric Bourdages @eze3d.bsky.social · 1d

I'll allow it.

Hey Yara, your paintings are really cool, you made a good decision, love the vibrant colors! Also game master sounds super fun, do you do it at your local game shop?

Eric Bourdages @eze3d.bsky.social · 1d

Hey Rikki, love your style, I come from an animation background so I appreciate the stylization, expressions & shape language you do. Also jealous of your woods lifestyle. As a city boy for 2 decades now, maybe one day I'll return to the forest & have many furry friends, you're living the dream. 🦊

Science and horror are 2 of my favorite things, nice to meet you too! Also that's super cool that you do prop and costumes, Halloween is probably a blast at your place 🎃

Awesome, nice to meet you Asher. Marc Brunet is a great teacher, you'll learn a lot! Also cute supervisor, looks like the type to keep you on track and knock your stuff over when you're slacking 🐱

Eric Bourdages @eze3d.bsky.social · 1d

Your stuff is great, don't give up, it's a struggle everywhere. Definitely do what you feel is best for your situation, but it would be a shame if you gave up art. Atleast continue making it for yourself 🫶

Hey Ed, great to meet you. I've always wanted to try out RPG maker, I've always been a unreal and unity guy. Congrats on your game release. Also a MTG nerd, cheers! 👊

Hey Nadia, nice to meet you. Feel free to share your podcast or some of your writing if you want! I've also been slooowly chipping away at a novel series for many years, maybe someday they will release, mostly it's just been a fun hobby for me.

Appartments that don't allow pets should be illegal, everyone should be allowed a fur baby! Thanks for the follow, looking forward to sharing news soon on what I've been up to this year! 😁

Hey all, I'd really like to get to know people in my following a little bit more. Would you mind writing me a little blurb in the comments about yourself. Your first name or handle is fine & just a little interesting fact about you, maybe a sample of work you do, or maybe a cute pic of your pet. 😁

I need to get back to work but I'm stuck and can't move. 🦊

One Piece has been such a special & beloved piece of fiction in our modern day. I've grown up with it as have many others. When I started seeing revolts flying the flag I worried some movements would twist the message of freedom to fit their narrative.

He's team Emu not Luffy.🖕

Looks awesome 🧟‍♂️

BLEEDING HEARTS! My new creator owned book with @StipanMorian, Matt Hollingsworth (goat), Hassan Otsmane Elhaou (Nope), coming from VERTIGO COMICS! (that has a nice ring, doesn't it?)

So...what it about? (6 page preview below)

This vid goes over the economy, how the average person doesn't matter to gdp. Why you aren't getting that raise you've been hoping for. How AI threatens labor & how there's no incentive for those in power to support UBI.

Class consciousness is needed.

It's never been more important than now to be aware of what is going on with AI, talk about it, share information & push back. Be human, don't abandone empathy & critical thinking.

Goes over something I've been worried about for the past 3 years.

Vampires tend not to like the sun so I agree, open all the blinds.

He's definitely one of the top contenders for - guy we should all be concerned about who has way too much control & power and not enough of a spotlight.

Eric Bourdages @eze3d.bsky.social · 5d

Also everything I know about Peter leads me to believe he is a terrible person who wants to strip away your freedoms, survey you, he's got his fingers in almost every suspicious pie and he possibly wants humanity to die.

I regularly criticize AI though, fuck me right.

"It's innevitable."

"Adapt or die."

"Embrace it or get left behind."

"The genie is out of the bottle."

"It'll get better, just wait."

"This is the worst it will ever be."

These things are said to get you to believe/fear you don't have agency to resist, question & criticize.

Really good one to listen to. Michael as usual is always extremely well articulated in talking about the philosophy behind the current state of big tech & their partnership with the government.
