With the Scanned Textures tagline being "Real textures from real objects for your projects", it does create some absurd situations.

OK. All done. Pedants? I'm not interested, this is MY Doctors.
If you are interested in an A2 print I've decided to knock the price down so that it's £60 plus postage (assuming I get enough interest to make it worth my while)
Let me know here or in DMs if you are interested. Probably print 10.

We sang We Like The Moon at the gig last night - the first time we have ever done this song live. So much fun, we'll do this (and a couple of other classic Rathergood songs) in the middle of the ska set next time we do one of these.
Mostly uploaded so Robbie can see it... the one time anyone will see We Like The Moon live!

My games are incredibly simple in comparison but it still takes a lot of thought & experimentation to reduce the need for instructions/examples so that people can dive right in but no one’s left baffled (and I often still don’t get it right)
New article: one thing from every inkle game that we failed to explain clearly enough, and how often we've been made to regret it.
You can’t underestimate everyone
Here is a quick list of features in inkle games which we failed to tutorialise or remind players of enough. The data is empirically backed…

Even if only a few thousand people ask for refunds, that’ll be more than it would’ve cost them to hire illustrators for those images
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
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

On this day 21 years ago, in the most consequential moment in history this account has yet marked, Diana Duyser, a resident of Florida, put a ten-year-old grilled cheese sandwich up for sale on eBay. As you would of course expect, it sold for $28,000 dollars. Mind you...

(thread up for context) - so much this. There's at one local leaflet/poster/promo artist whose work just gives slopAI vibes (think pastel 50s-nostalgia-modernism) and I *know* it isn't but now something about that aesthetic is entirely spoilt for me. I feel really sorry for them.
Organisations & designers that don’t want to be associated with AI need to be actively moving towards styles that are too quirky/organic/bold to seem lazily generated
Maybe we’ll see human creativity flourish in some areas as a result, or maybe everyone’s given in to the slop, we’ll see

I don’t know if this is AI-generated as some in the replies are assuming (and you should always be wary of thinking you can instantly spot AI), but if it isn’t then picking that font & off-white were REALLY bad design decisions

I've been collecting pandemic era signs that nobody can be bothered to take down or remove. There's something grimly fascinating about this. Putting them up was urgent and important; removing them is nobody's job. How long will some of these hang around?
