Small-time animator, hobbyist streamer. Lapsed cartoonist. Enjoys indie games (especially puzzles) and does demo roundups and a few rants. Designed a minigame in 2006 that isn't playable anymore, so I'm kind of a big deal. This is not my beautiful house.

Figured I'd make a pinned post that covers both the fact that I am an artist and that I'm very interested in indies and puzzle games.
I also have a Steam curator page (which I should update more), in case anybody has overlapping interests

Hey artists! With the holidays around the corner I'd love to get some spotlight on creators shops instead of supporting big businesses.
So if you've got a kofi, a shop, or comms open please share them here! 🛒
Would love to have a lil thread for folks to go browsing and support artists! 🎨💵

Calling arcade-style block drop, match-3, etc. games "puzzle games" is probably the dumbest and most egregious misnomer in mainstream game genres. Those games deserve a better descriptor after all these decades.
Lumping them in with actual puzzle-centric games doesn't do either group any favors.

It's been said before, but it absolutely rules that this person was like "this came out wrong but i tried, so i'll show it anyway" and EVERY art community was like "oh RELATABLE i hate drawing at this angle, but let's all try it and share advice"

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.
The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

This is bullshit.
"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.
"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.
