Hey, I'm Eric/Toadking. I produced the Foundation After Midnight Radio podcast and run the Toad King Studios Etsy shop. I write, I draw, I design. I do a lot of other things too, but I'll get into that more another post. For now, welcome to BlueSky!

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Edited a video today! It's short, but it's fun experimenting and trying new things.

I still really love this pic of three of my SCP pins. Even with the logos, I try to put my own spins on them, adding details or tweaking the designs. #scpfoundation

People don't understand what is meant by "literacy" and the "literacy crisis".
Literacy isn't just not being able to physically read. Many people know how to see words and say words, which is basic reading. Literacy is being able to infer the correct information from what you read.

We had our best ever sales numbers over on Bandcamp over the weekend, with Friday being our best ever day (thank you everyone!)
The amount we raised from sales was the equivalent of (roughly) 250,000 listens on Spotify.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Highly recommend the game if you haven't played it already. (Still highly recommend if you have played it) Go in with as little spoilers as you can for a real treat.
Whatever horrors you may find in these dark spaces, have heart and see them through.
There are no premature endings. There are no wrong decisions.
There are only fresh perspectives and new beginnings.
This is a love story.
SLAY THE PRINCESS is 40% off on Steam, the cheapest it's even been.

The people in charge of beating you down will say art is frivolous, cut budgets for the arts, replace artists with AI, but art keeps people GOING. You never know when a piece will touch someone’s heart at just the right time.

Honestly, I think I am better at managing a team than just myself. Having someone else's work depending on my work getting done > having more work for myself depending on my current work getting done.

Was talking with some friends from my old job (not the temp one) and they were venting about how much ai is being forced into their workflow even though it often requires a lot of editing and effort to make comparable end results. Everyone's roles/tasks are being reworked.
So my current temp job is coming to an end this month. It was expected and I could use a break from the physical workload. Gonna have to work through to the end, rest up, and figure out what I can do in Dec to set 2026 up for success.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Seems I'm a super fan of Em Beihold? I'll take it.
My top artists: Em Beihold, Smaller Farren, NF, Emel, AURORA, EM, Eternxlkz, Creepy Nuts, LXNGVX, Dessa.
...But also, I only started on Deezer this fall. We'll see how next year looks.

This can be summed up as "SCP logo that's missing a chunk" though I don't think that sounds as cool as it's gonna look.
To be more specific, it's an old design I never pulled the trigger on, and I'm thinking about it on my bday. It's part of my "damaged SCP logo" series of enamel pins.

I wonder if some aspect of being tired of social media is the feeling of running into "knowledge checks" where one has to decipher what is being said, the context, the tone, the implications, and fact check it.

I did it. CyberMonday deal fueled order placed. Won't be done in time for 2025 holidays, but should be good to roll out in the new year.
Can't believe I'm flirting with the idea of ordering a new pin design for my shop for my birthday 🙃

I would love the chance to collaborate with other creators more directly. I regret that I have not set myself up in a way to facilitate that better. I am grateful for those who have supported, collaborated, and reached out previously. I hope to make more cool stuff on my own as well as with others.
