AI has ruined image serach for me now. Its just 90% AI gen stuff now, and its all such bad stuff too, like lowest quality everywhere.. None of the "no ai" toggles work either. Just awful, we need to abandon this endpoint of internet and make a new one.

Morning internet! IN a slight sidequest form my recent procjam blogging, I re-vamped another older pcg thing, mainly because it suited the theme of COLD PLACES so well. Anyway, here it is, a snowflake generator. You can play with it on itch.

Alright, a little late for Monday's lunch hour in most parts of the world, but here's the first part of a five-part video series about making a text-generating bluesky bot. It's quick, assumes almost no knowledge, and is (hopefully) fun. #procjam

Was hoping to get the next part of this done for today, but it might have to wait until tomorrow now. However if you are curious, you can still try a simple version of the dungeon generator below.
I finally started doing some stuff for #procjam It's slight revamp of an unfinished SCP bunker generator I started years ago.. As with most things pcg it started with a dungeon generator.!
You can read about it here, and try out the WebGL version
