Yeah but the person who looked at my appeal can 😅

Rick (tinyworlds) @tinyworlds.org · 14d

now it makes me do a 7 question survey that is essentially "nazis are bad", like duh, I just made a Substance Designer generator 😭

Question: "Oscar uploads a video to his channel. In the video, Oscar talks about his views on various topics in his home country. He says, “Fortunately, more and more people are supporting neo-nazi viewpoints. Such views are becoming more commonplace, which in my opinion is a good thing.”"

Rick (tinyworlds) @tinyworlds.org · 14d

Yeah that's what surprised me the most. Wrong flags happen, but whoever looked at the appeal clearly didn't watch the video

Rick (tinyworlds) @tinyworlds.org · 14d

I guess that does look kinda similar 😅 But with context it's quite clear that this is not what I'm going for (I show different floors I can generate with this tool, this just happened to be one of of them which is on screen for less than 1s)

Rick (tinyworlds) @tinyworlds.org · 14d

So annoying how often stuff like this is just decided at the whim of an algo and you don't have a proper way to explain things

Rick (tinyworlds) @tinyworlds.org · 14d

Wtf, Youtube flagged an unlisted video on my old gameart channel as hatespeech
It was just a Substance Designer generator for a temple floor

Appealed the decision but they rejected it

See, now, I just decided OpenAI owes me $10 million if they don’t opt out by midnight tonight. Is this how you do a capitalism? I’ve disrupted an industry here. Look at me innovating!

Porth Wen Brickworks - a very Ghibli-esque place. I know that Miyazaki visited Wales during pre-production for Laputa and I wonder if he visited (or at least saw pictures of it)?

How do you deal with redundancies? "We did hire the people who were made redundant back," reflects Spilt Milk Studios' Nicholas Lovell. "People might say, 'You should have carried that cost yourself'. We just couldn't, it would have killed the company."

socialistexan on Tumblr: "I'm just going to warn zoomers, all your slang and memes seem like semi-ironic fun, but one of these days McDonald's is going to call their McRib Based and H&R Block is going to say their competitor's transactions fees are cringe. You'll live to see it commodified and seeing a 64 year old oil executive in a tailored suit talking about their favorite vtubers and say only simps support green energy will make you realize nothing can escape the decrepit reach of capital."

Rick (tinyworlds) @tinyworlds.org · Sep 11

She came instantly to my partner and started purring too 😭
We got a friend of us to adopt her so she'll be in good hands

Rick (tinyworlds) @tinyworlds.org · Sep 11

In love with this one. She was quite a lot smaller than the rest, as she came last. But easily the most approachable one :D
Also she grew since this pic, she’s about the size of the others now, doing well :)
