What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

This works the other way around too

You don’t have to push through something you’re not enjoying so you can “speak on it”

You can just drop it and move on with your life. You don’t have to force yourself to be a part of the conversation. Its okay!

You don’t have to think about other people or their perspectives when you’re playing a game. You can just play the game.

Unless it is your literal career. You are not obligated to go into a game with a reviewer mindset. Not sure why this is baked into so many gamer’s brains.

One easy fix would be to eliminate categories based on genre or whatever “indie” means and instead get granular about craft (best level design, best world, best combat, etc) which would probably pose other problems but at least make for more interesting conversations and honor specific people

Assuming this gets funded, I'll definitely be reworking the Smash Time Stories site to use it. Rarebit's fun, but this has more of what I need.

I would like to remind people that when Nintendo made a brand new web based Star Fox 2 manual for the SNES Mini, it also included actual old design document scans for the game and I think it's pretty rad:

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Writers who use genAI for illustrations are class traitors. We all have to fight this beast TOGETHER. We are not just trying to save SOME of our livelihoods.
Self-published authors are unfortunately very rapidly becoming my most-blocked demographic on here due entirely to the rampant use of hideous AI generated book covers
Just in case it wasn't clear: If I click on your profile and see that you've used AI to make something, you get blocked.

Gamecube is an era where I missed a lot of games, but the ones I DID play stuck with me.

I only played AC for like a year before Wild World came out, but to this day it's probably still my fave in the series. ACNH comes close (post-updates) with all the creativity options, but GCN is a VIBE, dude.

Been a hot minute since I’ve drawn anything Sonic related so to get back in the groove I drew her royal highness, the passing through princess, Blaze the Cat!

Do you realize society conditioned us as artists to hate our own work so it can justify devaluing our work and make us charge lower prices?

You literally created a little guy out of the thoughts in your brain with paper and a pen. No more self hating artist era. This is self loving artist era.

You hate GenAI? that’s fantastic I’m with yea but have you bothered to support any artist today as well? All you need to do is share their art and interact with them. Checkout their stores and get others to notice them. If you hate slop you need to make real art flourish otherwise thier is no point.
