The reason this happens is because no matter how little you're paid, capitalism values money more than it values your work.

It's a religion of worshipping the dollar and accusing workers. AI gets special treatment bc it's not subject to that system.
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

tail done (fin needs repixeled), I've made enough progress I'm allowed to go to work now lol
WIP screenshot of a siren's tail twisting very long & bendy, covered in bluish & greenish scales, ending in a very large pixelated fin. Near the base of the tail are three central scales larger than the rest, almost glowing, in pansexual pride colors.

progress

hopefully I wake up early enough tomorrow

gn chat 😴
larger wip screenshot of the same tail, now showing that the previous snippet was only 2/3 of the tail. The scales are now textured beyond what was shown in the previous screenshot, and grow larger as the tail broadens. The green-blue colors of the scales tesselate in a simple pattern that shifts with the orientation of the tail.

like yeah it's neat when I'm designing a texture for a 3D model.

it's fun to solve puzzles

but fucking THIS while I'm trying to make a deadline?
WIP pixelart of the end a siren's tail, with a glowing bright tailfin and blue-green scales going up a twisting long structure outlined in dark purple. The pattern is about halfway complete for the section shown in this snippet.

chat, color question, and I'm gonna piss ppl off with this one

how would you rank these 4 pixels on a scale of greenest, green, blue, bluest, if you had to put one under each label and each only under one of those labels ?

they are named:

1, 2,
3, 4.
four pixels of different bluish-greenish hues

I've got a piece in the works that I started specifically for this application, but here's a placeholder image in case I can't get it finished tonight!

Howdy I'm Sax (ae/it/she), actual literal fish irl and monstrous siren blacksmith here on the internet 👋 I'm a pixelartist & I like RPGs n stuff 🐟
Saxmyth, a siren (mythological, of the sea) with dark cyan, green, & black scales all the way up sohn torso, arms, and long fishy tail, with long ourple twintails and bangs with multicolored highlights, wearing a black breastplate with flared pauldrons, sits in 3D in front of a theta-delta, resting aer hands upon its horizontal line, staring emotionless & speechless with ver sharp-toothed mouth open & multilayered eyes looking straight ahead in a bout of self-discovery. Sax's breastplate sorta kinda c Ste's surrounded by bubbles, both in the background and foreground, with star-shaped confetti flying around her, and various sea creatures (jellyfish, sea turtles, crabs, fish, etc) can be seen as distant pixelart silhouettes in the underwater background.

Imagine you're driving a bulldozer, you deliberately tear up the crosswalk, so somebody jaywalks since the crosswalk isn't there anymore.

Then you run them over with said bulldozer and your case in court is that it's not murder, and it's their own fault, because they didn't use the crosswalk.

ok actually I have a woker opinion, which is that every farm in america that grows food we can't eat should be converted into wind farms, solar farms, and maybe beetroot farms or something else focused on making Vegan Red Dye so we don't end up with shit like this (example from Urban Decay eyeliner)

I tried my best mochi. I should've taken a picture before taking it home bc it slid around a bit in the car, but here's my giardian angel.

Now I have a bitch to pray to 🙏
A well done pizza, uncut, with vegan pepperoni, extra cheese, and a lopsided angel made out of giardinara, which slid around on the pizza and is no longer as pretty as it originally was.

btw I'm referring to the SteamCube
store.steampowered.com/sale/steamma...

This is a real screenshot from the official steam page
Simple digital graphic of a cube-shaped Steam gaming console, featuring an LED strip over the bottom, underneath a banana that is definitively larger than it. Text reads: Small form factor Put it under your TV. Set it on your desk. Hide it under a banana. It's powerful PC gaming packed into a roughly 6-inch (~160mm) cube.

Ok my brain needed a refresher on the fictional characters within it

you are this
A creature from Void Stranger that has the tail of a pale snake which opens up to the body & head of a dimmer leech-like creature with at least 3 eyes and a mouth closed in at least 3 segments pointed to a tip. The snake tail is very long and goes down behind the creature off screen. The image is in grayscale pixelart, as is the game itself.

Chat I'm curious, how short do y'all last your pencils get before you stop sharpening them?

This is where I'm at with my eyeliner rn and I'm gonna keep going
two very short eyeliner pencils, less than four very small finger-widths long including their shiny endcap, which takes up nearly half the length. They are ourple in color, 2 different shades, and lying on a deskmat in front of a computer keyboard. fingertips, eyelash curler, and clamshell mirror for scale.

Alt text added for this portion.

Interesting note is the "Rude" label has existed for a year now, and was invented specifically to label ppl asking bsky to ban a prominent active transphobe

but if you had different settings before, bsky has automatically undone that and set it to Hide anyway 🙃
Labels, posts, and replies - we are in the Labels tab looking at these labels, all of which are set to "Hide" by default: Extremist: Radical views advocating violence, hate, or discrimination against individuals or groups. Intolerance: Discrimination against protected groups. Threats: Promotes violence or harm towards others, including threats, incitement, or advocacy of harm. Rude: Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Illicit: Promoting or selling potentially illicit goods,

"kill each other" is fucking WILD. What got me, tho, is when she said that standing against fascism DOES "MUCH MORE HARM" than Cawthon's donations ever did

Like shit, sorry for comparing fascists to fascists. Apparently that's worse than giving thousands to neo-hitler who's starving millions.
EllaMenta (Post hidden by muted word) Am I defending Scott? No absolutely not, but the fact it was 2019-2020! not like yesterday... says something. But the comparison is doing much more harm, you're watering down what Rowling has been doing to the point where people think it's okay to hate on FNAF fans the same as you should HP fans.🙄 5 likes.

Oh btw

finally got around to it literally just today and I kinda love how it turned out ngl

I've been wanting to wear this and the ae/aer one on stream but guess what 🤦‍♀️ I haven't had much time to stream
a pixelart pronoun pin shaped like a theta-delta (a symbol consisting of an interlinking triangle & circle with a very short line in the middle) with a purple outline. Has it/its pronouns with a silly lil doodle of a fish skeleton on a navy blue background, and a couple of transparent bubbles coming from the fish's skull.

me at several times in my life before transition (not talking to my family is the best thing I ever did)

Chat do you think it'd be easier to forcefem a US president or a monarch of England?
As a trans woman you can generally expect not to be believed about most things: The legal processes you've navigated, effects you've had from transition care, what you had for breakfast, & so on. But there's one clear exception, which is when you're clearly joking. If you say someone like "I'm going to forcefem Richard Nixon for his crimes," you will be subjected to a person who fully & entirely believes that: 1. You possess the infrastructure & resources necessary to operate a real life forcefemming dungeon sophisticated enough to forcefem not just any captive, but a US President 2. You intend to world the power of this forcefem dungeon over political disagreements & are taking active steps to do so 3. Your intended target is Richard Nixon, famously a corpse who has been dead for 30 glorious, Nixonless years, and you are apparently going to be able to put him in a state that would be receptive to forcefem, which is generally understood to require a subject who is alive 4. despite the evidence that you are a necromancer with substantial kidnapping abilities, you are receptive to being informed, in a strongly worded post of concern, that necromantic forcefem is immoral. And once they've caught you in your dastardly scheme, they will not repent at attempts to clarify

nah the zoo one is like a weird squiggly thing iirc, not similar at all

what I get confused with the way it sometimes renders on PC is the theta-delta character and the anarchy unicode (Ⓐ). When the delta's a bit low in the theta in certain fonts/sizes it combines a little funky n looks like an A
very closeup screenshot of Sparky's yellow heart next to the theta-delta in gems name. The delta (triagle) sits on the bottom pixels of the theta (circle) while the line inside the theta sits low with it, somewhat giving the appearance of the letter A inside a circle, which is the symbol for anarchy.

If you're streaming in the retro category, you really should have the title of the game either in the stream title or on chat or on screen SOMEWHERE, like how the fuck am I supposed to know what game this is ???
Screenshot of 64-bit gameplay showing some low-poly redman in overalls running away from a shiitake mushroom-lookin enemy toward a red coin behind the shadow of a star. There are some 2D tees with circular shadows, some vertical logs for some reason, and a fence. A shitty mountain, a weird cave, and a mysterious landmass floating in the clouds, all loom in the background. The game's UI shows some nerd with a camera in the bottom-right, 35 five-pointed stars with eyes and 38 star-coins in the top-right, and three Marios in the top-left.

experienced liminal space last night
SaxMyth, the fishj aerself BITE 12:45 AM chat I had a fucking experience just now SaxMyth, the fishj aerself BITE 12:59 AM hang on I need a moment to cry about the fact that I don't have time to carefully switch to linux anymore before windows 10 support ends. that's completely unrelated to the experience I had, just related to time management bullshit I've been dealing with. ShadowGearShio Gost 1:04 AM Oh no SaxMyth, the fishj aerself BITE 1:20 AM so the experience was liminal space. of just existing around midnight. in the outside world. on a homework day, laundry day nonetheless, so I hadn't done my makeup, and it's fall so I wore a hoodie and went out in not boymode per se, but a lot more androgynous than I generally like to be. I had to go to the supermarket before it closed at midnight, bc I ran out of my moisturizing lotion thinking I had backup (I did not) an I'm running low on makeup remover so I figured I'd get that, and also some microwave popcorn. so I went, and the lotion was in a different aisle than I remembered, but that's probably a fault in my own memory. grabbed that with otherwise no issue, then I looked where my makeup remover usually is and they didn't have any, so I decided to cut across the clothing section(s) to the grocery section, taking a detour through women's to see if I should get anything. didn't find anything I particularly wanted to pay for atm so I walked out empty-handed, and immediately as I crossed from women's to men's I heard an announcement on the announcement system, something I've never heard before, "security to women's, security to women's," SaxMyth, the fishj aerself BITE 1:27 AM *reminder I was wearing an old hoodie and NO makeup, so this scared me slightly.* but only slightly, because I was already out of women's by the time the announcement happened and on my way further away toward the grocery section. so I didn't worry too much about whether that was for me or some other reason. I live under a transphobic state but I live in a widely accepting locality, so I don't generally expect to be targeted by transphobia, but I'm not unprepared. this is probably not a great time to mention that I realized, as I pulled out of my driveway beforehand, that I forgot to bring my phone. I wasn't too terribly worried bc I had my purse, and I just made sure my pepper spray would be accessible if I were to need it (I of course didn't need it in the slightest but in that moment I was glad I made the precaution). so anyway I got the popcorn, checked out, and fucked off. then omw home I was like "oh FUCK, I forgor I need gas" and I saw my entire gas meter flashing for the first time ever. The bar flashes when I'm on 1/8 of a tank, but this was the entire UI so I could tell I'm on E (edit: and by E I mean empty, not estrogen) SaxMyth, the fishj aerself BITE 1:37 AM I was hungry and planning on cooking when I got home, but I was tight on time so with this added inconvenience I decided to head a little out of the way to Sheetz, through the outskirts of the rich suburb. at this point it was after 23:45. On the way to Sheetz, going through the rich suburb outskirts, the street lights were off. They weren't on despite it being quite dark out and very late. I lost track of how far I'd been driving until I saw just part of the logo of a closed supermarket next to Sheetz, glowing in the night. I got my gas, pulled into the convenience store, and despite there not being many cars, and not a bus in sight, the place was packed inside, with elder teens or young adults, giving the vibe that this was part of a sports or band trip. it eventually occurred to me, as I was waiting for my food, that it's a friday night in fall. The weather just started to crispen within the past week-ish, so these high-schoolers likely were hanging out here after a football game. idk why there were so many but there were. like a LOT of them. SaxMyth, the fishj aerself BITE 1:44 AM anyway I got my food and they gave me a small fryz when I ordered medium [angry emote of an red panda anime girl] I'm angy. and reminder chat I did this entire experience with no phone no makeup, wearing a hoodie labelled with what high school I went to. when my food was done (I was waiting a long time bc, reminder, high schoolers were also getting food) I just went straight home after holding the door open for several ppl I didn't need to on my way out as they came in bc I just like. was in a being-nice-to-ppl mood
