I did some experiments with the extended character generator tonight. Im pretty happy with the results. New small sprites and faces for everyone. Tall sprites + battlers to follow and then all the NPCs. Im excited to get the work in, making money gets in the way. #indiedev #rpgmaker #gamedev

If you ever want to reveal the truth of someone, play tabula rasa, or be a blank slate and watch the worst of the world reveal themselves. Projection is everywhere. Put a lid on yourself, your own bias, to allow others' truth to shine forth. Judge accordingly.

The smartest people in the world today are not focused on solving the world's problems.
No, they are all employed specifically to grab an increasing share of our collective attention, by whatever algorithmic magic they can muster.
I think that this is the essence of our global polycrisis.

Early RPG Maker culture was defined by the love of the game, so bringing AI into it is bleh. Like, don’t get me wrong, I’d love to make money off my stuff, but my RPG Maker stuff is born out of my angry heart and special interests.

Well, I've done some art, and borrowed some others. The Last Islands of Man 2 gets a minor visual upgrade. I'm working on the overworld a piece at a time, as well as putting together costumes and new sprites. Tall sprites are a real challenge that should be worth it. #indiegame #rpgmaker #gamedev

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.
"Rockstar, Rockstar, you're disgusting, we charge you with union busting," the protesters declared.
'All you had to do was follow the damn law, Rockstar!': Workers are protesting outside Take-Two after GTA 6 dev's alleged 'brazen' union-busting
"They can get used to seeing us on their doorstep."

Work continues on TLIOM 2. I've implemented autosave and done a bit of mapping. Also played around with footsteps but its a little silly without better sounds. Im gonna have to dig some up somewhere. Im really procrastinating on art but still making progress. Onward! #indiedev #rpgmaker #gamedev

If you serve in government, and you wield the faith of the people to fuel your own interests above theirs, you deserve to go to prison. We should all be the blue guy, here.

My personal reason for being enraged by capitalism is because life is fucked up as it is. You don’t choose to be born, you get sick and old, the people you love die. AND THEN it’s all multiplied by a class of people who couldn’t give a shit at best or enjoy your suffering!

again a reminder that the NYT leadership supports Cuomo *because* of his record of sexual harassment, not *despite* it. they have a strong interest in making sure that they and their friends can never again suffer the indignity of being held accountable by their inferiors.

Our system rewards exploitation almost exclusively, which means only the meanest, most heartless motherfuckers rise to the top. People willing to deny a kid’s lifesaving surgery, or make bombs to murder refugees in tents, or inaugurate the age of truly universal mass surveillance. Rule by the worst.

WARNING: The Last Islands of Man 2 contains themes of suicide and self sacrifice. What would you lose for friends and family? What could it cost to save humanity from their own mistakes? Our lives are not our own. Are you willing or does someone else have to do it? #indiedev #rpgmaker #gamedev

Just asking for a friend:
If the thieves claim that they are using those jewels to train an AI, are they safe from prosecution?
I mean, the Louvre might not have opted-out from being robbed for AI training.
