Straight up, using it is an act against many, including myself. It's not harmless or helpful and it is absolutely FOOLISH to think otherwise.

I'm tired of hearing "I can't" as an excuse to not do art, writing, music, whatever. Yes you can. You just won't admit you don't want to. Simple as that.

I can tell when people get annoyed or defensive when I talk about the problems with using ANYTHING involving GAI.

Sorry, not sorry, I can and will continue to discourage and shame the use of a dangerous tool pushed by the fashies.

If you don't like that, fine by me if you wanna see yourself out.

Keep shaming every company you see using AI “art” to market themselves. Tell them it looks bad, shows they lack integrity, and tell them you don’t support stolen labor. Be relentless about it, remind them it’s unacceptable, get yourself blocked.

Why? IT WORKS. Shame em & take your money elsewhere.

Really good time to get this game if you've got the space for it.

Though, really, you should get the physical version. You already know why.

Our existence makes them uncomfortable. Our joy makes them afraid. They don't want us in their stories and at the same time they don't want us to tell our stories. So they try to create a fantasy where we don't exist. Their "escape from reality"

D.J. Kirkland @ohheydj.bsky.social · 16h

They want us to “make our own stories” but when we do, this is how they act. There’s no denying that a vast majority of people have deep rooted racism and specifically towards black people.

I just want a mainline Pokemon game to play like a mainline Pokemon game, that’s all I need.

And take all the time designing it and refining it (namely incorporating those QoL enhancements from the Legends games).

And showed that Pokemon games are budgeted at relatively lower levels (which is something folks have been asking companies to try to do), I see folks unironically wanting them to have the budget of triple AAAs. Y'know -- that thing we've been criticizing about for many, many, MANY years now. <c>

Modern Pokemon discourse is a bit jarring to me considering we're currently in the throes of the gaming industry potentially about to experience a crash due to over-ballooned budgets, intense macrotransactions (I no longer consider them micro myself) and other issues, but when that leak happened <c>

Has anyone made an educational manga about life inside a computer? I'm thinking like Cells at Work but inside modern computer systems. Taking the setting of something like Tron or Reboot and just turning it into educational slice of life comedy.
