The creation of a valiant is like writing a contract, it is either with yourself or a being that holds that contract. You are given exceptional skill and strength. A curse is not 'negative' for most people, some of the more powerful Valiants have very particular curses, and are only known to them.

Storm / Caleb @calgarchowstorm.bsky.social · 5h

Valiants can be anyone, they can be from anywhere. They are the sacred protectors of life, and fight for people to live normal lives, to be safe in their homes against a threat that only wants peace destroyed.

Think Witchers meets Paladins, and a standing army. Except bound by curses.

Storm / Caleb @calgarchowstorm.bsky.social · 5h

The Idea of Valiants are they warriors of a kind, loyal to only the people and the morality they follow. They hate tyrants, they fight monsters, and abhor killing humans.

I was kind of sick of how almost all 'warriors' were either noble class people, or you know larger than life.

When I was first writing my book I once called the main characters of my book Knights, there were sir's but I didn't like how women were called dames. I thought it was bizzare, and I couldn't go with Ser or Sir for both. So instead I invented a new term. Valiant, with honorific of Val for both.

✨Commissar Dmitry Lysander✨

Quick colored sketch of my 40k OC because I literally couldn't move on with my life until I could look at him

Dmitry Lysander stands with one arm behind his back and the other on his canesword. He has long dark hair tucked into his big hat and a trimmed beard. He also has a scar across his nose and a scar down his lip. Behind him is a yellow circle and around it is the mantra "The Emperor protects, the guard prevails.." repeating around the circle.

Define "Perfect Ending"

Kratos from the God of War Ragnarok holding up the head of Mimir, after he solves a riddle that has bothered him since his friend gave it to him. What is something that gets bigger the more you takeway?

Picture of one man (kratos) holding the head of another (mimir) who is talking.

From God of War Ragnarok / IGN's game article.

Generative AI is the aesthetics and instrument of fascism, proved once again.

CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.

Silicon Valley's capture of our political institutions is all but complete

The tech lobby kills off two key California AI bills, and why it matters. Plus: How Sam Altman played Hollywood with Sora 2, organized mass social media deletions, and more.

I read an article a while ago, people are not really consuming content or stories at anything more than a surface level. Its really disturbing watching all these creators basically say "And did you see this." And its the most obvious case of foreshadowing I've seen and everyone acts surprised..

Storm / Caleb @calgarchowstorm.bsky.social · 3d

Does this make their jobs harder? Like imagine they come back and they find out they are arresting way less people because immigrants by and large don't commit as many crimes as citizens? This like reagen's bullshit war on drugs. very silly and stupid

Storm / Caleb @calgarchowstorm.bsky.social · 3d

I kind of do both? I kind of Write an idea from what i imagined it would be, but several different noted versions of the same scene then choose those scenes that fit more.

IDK what i am doing half the time.

Quitting what is probably the worst school program / certificate class almost everything was about AI and I was just trying to learn design, absolute 0 citations to the books they were stealing these ideas from or designers.

Chatbots scare me because they are literally saying the most asinine things.

I rather talk to humans and I am afraid of people. (well at first).

But i rather talk to anyone over a bot. And i tried it out once, I despised every moment and felt like I needed a shower.

I remember playing this awful fucking game. It crashed my computer multiple times, it was an awful experience at every turn. The characters made me hate the world, hate the developers. I dreamt often about how much this game spiked my anxiety. It was FEAR:2. I adore FEAR. but not the 2nd or 3rd game

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

Storm / Caleb @calgarchowstorm.bsky.social · 4d

I am getting a certificate ontop of my degree at least to do something ontop of the work I currently do not have. #aisucks #aishouldntteach

Storm / Caleb @calgarchowstorm.bsky.social · 4d

Writing up my design homework and of course google is hard pushing me to use AI for literally all my assignments. I am not enjoying this course for how... emotionless it is. and like actual no talking with designers, just listening to the same lackluster videos and emotionless grading. Ugh its awful

Storm / Caleb @calgarchowstorm.bsky.social · 4d

You can do it with sexual content, and anime games, but not ai generated shit?

Storm / Caleb @calgarchowstorm.bsky.social · 4d

Hey i have some recommendations check out : Town to City, Summer House, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, Tempest Rising, Sword of the Sea...

fuck AI slop, support real creators!

Storm / Caleb @calgarchowstorm.bsky.social · 4d

Speaking on that if people actually need some poster designs for this type of stuff hit me up, I'll be glad to do it for free.

Just hit me up some content you want I'll do it.

Storm / Caleb @calgarchowstorm.bsky.social · 5d

I think I know why I am lethargic : having constant anxiety about the state of my country. Or how I can hardly complete anything because of my anxiety about my own self value and my writing.
