I found this little friend - a small stuffed dog, who looks very loved - in the middle of the road on an overpass in Beaverton, OR. If this little friend is yours, or you know who they belong to, send me a DM I would like to reunite them.

You can tell times are hard on the furry trans gal community becuase I have not been showered in images of their new maned borzelk sonas. FF14 invented the ultimate transbian OC race and I've seen nothing! Buy your local trans gals a pizza or a beer. They're going through it.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment.

It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

Hello, not only do we not use AI we would rather cut off our own arms than do so. Demonschool is 100% human made.

Fixed the arrow feathers. Less lines and is now sharing the hair properties. This time a spin around in a test environment (this is a store asset for visual tests). I think I will do some environment concepting next (I'm totally am not putting off programing...) #indiedev #gamedev #unity #blender

Creative solidarity means:

If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover"
If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references"
If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc.

Never help AI steal another medium

No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

"wow i didn't even know [game] came out" i mean. this is why devs always tell you to wishlist everything. if you hear about an upcoming game you're interested in, just wishlist it. then you'll know when it's out, instead of leaving it to chance whether or not you hear about it on social media
