One of the fundamental "magic of the internet" moments I've always cherished is finding a tiny creator who demonstrates surprising talent. A cool song with barely any views, a great new artist with a dozen followers, etc.
The thrill is gone, replaced by doubt for "unverified" art thanks to genAI.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Ideas for emotes but for some reason not working on them. What's up with that.

i'm quoting this interview a lot but it's full of incredible moments
the lesson you have to draw from this is:
you HAVE to be unapologetic about what you do. "fuck the rest of the world, we love furries and we're gonna show them that they love them too" is an inspiring attitude

Remember: don't eat the mid tier fast food chicken, don't play the wizard game, don't shop at the hobby store run by the bad guys from Indiana Jones, and don't donate to the bigot bucket.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

Every time you use AI slop in your game, even as a placeholder, even if it's supposed to be temporary, you're helping to destroy the video game industry little by little.

Once again, I have to point out how obviously inorganic the entire anti-trans backlash is. A handful of billionaires are astroturfing the whole thing with enormous amounts of cash.

I've never played a Civilization game and I'm not sure if I would be good or bad at it because I would want to leave everyone else alone and just be there if they need help.

Great damage control, dirtbags.
1. This is why actual placeholder assets are often pretty obvious.
2. I'm sure you'll be patching it out immediately with something fully human created right? Putting money where your mouth is?

Remember if you truly despise GenAI and its outputs you need to put a lot more time celebrating and lifting all the artists not using it and trying there best and learning. Share their art like that art and just talk about the stuff you like and enjoy. Don’t let the anger of GenAi stop that.

I'd have to check but it sure feels like I've bought like ten new games in the last few years. The majority of my time goes towards the backlog™️.
"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it"
My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever
