#Bluesky keeps growing, so let's connect! #introduction post!

Hi I’m Kevin, professional #puppet builder and maker of fun media stuffs. Been doing this professionally since 2019. Here’s a small sample of my work. I also #livestream and #podcast! www.operationpuppet.com
I understand why some creators, including myself, don't leave #YouTube. However it's *vital* now more than ever to also make yourself a #PeerTube server. You need an accurate archive of your work that YOU control, even if no one watches it there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrwJ...

Now officially on sorta-vacation. Time to get serious about the #Warframe videos I’ve been planning for a while.

The migration habits of the #puppet Sasquatch are largely a mystery.

And with this Sasquatch, the final #puppet build of 2025 is done. Staring up again in January! #puppetbuilding #smallbusiness #artist

Using Gen #AI “art” should carry the social stigma of “the cheap crappy thing”. Anyone using it in anything for any reason should be automatically suspect.

TLDR: Tim Sweeny, get fucked.

Dear lord I love how @soulframe.com thinks. “Let’s take a badass Souls-like and make a core part of the gameplay being kind to cute animals and playing a flute”. #soulframe

As a #puppet performer, deeply familiar with the human brain’s predilection to see non-living things as alive if presented as such, I can assure you, no, the fucking chatbot is not conscious. #AI #chatgpt #slop

Installing an extension on @vivaldi.com that blocks #YouTube shorts from ever showing up has noticeably improved my browsing experience.

I did this in both of my classes this semester. It was super successful. The students had to ask an LLM about a subject they already knew well, like their favorite musician, movie, sports team, or something else they had previously researched.

I know #Warframe is unlike anything else but I just took a spaceship powered by the severed finger of an eldritch horror into an interdimensional storm with a sentient fungus who could be a Muppet, got in a massive mech and then bounced on a giant mushroom. Or I'm having a stroke.

14 years ago Disney tried to revive the #Muppets with a big film and their chance to introduce a new character. In the grand tradition of wacky psychedelic characters they gave us…

A drab white guy. Really swinging for the fences there, mouse.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.

Remembering us is not enough.

Starting my final #puppet build of the year. Going to be some minor rebranding for O:P in 2026. Basically making it more personal and less “generic puppet stuff”. I think that’s my strength.

Probably doesn't need saying but fuck #TheGameAwards. Keighley is a starfucker PoS running his pay-for-eyeballs circus who couldn't give two fucks about actual developers. Parasite.

#Warframe brain: "time for one more mission before breakfast". Who's with me? Tenno fist bump.

#AI is actually very good for human socialization. We have to tell each other how to disable that shit.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
