been using the new settings for a few days now, and instead of every other post being AI slop, I get one every few rows at BEST (usually untagged)

for both artists and clients: if you use pinterest to make moodboards or plan designs, highly recommend making sure these are turned OFF

‼️ REMOVE AIslop from your PINTEREST results.‼️
Let's see how true this is....

1. Go to ‘Refine your recommendations’ and remove everything related to ‘generative AI interests’.

(As if anyone who visits the site for reliable references would be interested in that...)

It's different from your normal style, but it still feels like 'you' to me, if that makes sense! I think it's neat!

with even getting food or rent reliably right now, I'd like to be able to help them in anyway I can. Unfortunately, my own bills and such keep my bank pretty.. low.
I'll be opening all services on VGen and taking things in order received and I'll keep everyone up to date on WiPs and such!

Improving on the labeling system would be amazing- allowing users to tag more accurately of 'this post contains this thing' rather than the basic 4- which can be something you do like but was censored *or* it's a gamble and you click and it's something upsetting. More labeling would be amazing

💖we're workin on a lil game! (we meaning myself and lyn) it's called machine sympathy and we're hoping for a short little narrative experience where you fix up an extremely fucked up robot (Crit) and are perhaps just a teensy bit haunted by him :'>

a mockup of a start screen for Machine Sympathy. Cheats is writing the game name in spraypaint on a corporate billboard that reads SACER MEDICAL

Cheats leans in an open doorway. A dialog box over it reads:

CHEATS: Hey... You know I hate doing this to you. I just... don't have anyone else I can go to.

An outfit board for Adra(they/them), who you will be playing as!

A picture of Crit crawling toward the viewer (Adra) on the floor, his claws wrapped tightly around their calf. Illuminated from behind by a bold red light, he is brutally wounded and riddled with weapons.

I've set up a page on my website where you can now download all of my old fanzines for free if you like. If you enjoy them, you can leave a tip and it is much appreciated! But I'm mostly just happy that they can be available somewhere again.
