Wanna see how *not* to respond to someone when they politely express disappointment in your diving into AI bullshit on your coding related YT channel?

finished some refs of my Lancer OC for artfight last night. we are SO close to being ready I can feel it.

I really love how clever animators had to be before 3D rendering was integrated with everything. The bg is a pano drawing with a fisheye effect and some easing to mimic rotation, and most of the turnaround on the characters is in their upper bodies to avoid re-drawing everybody on every frame

there's three kinds of military SF 1) [historical battle] in space 2) the author wants to kill minorities and need to prove why it's okay by constructing a universe where they're actually evil 3) i like the A-10 warthog and have reverse engineering a sci-fi setting that makes them important

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

(comic) Accountability

The more trad published books I see with AI slop covers, the more I'm convinced indie writers aren't getting the credit we all deserve for keeping literature alive.

Isekai is still fun and I'm tired of pretending otherwise Yes we had too much of it there for a while, but having too much of a cool thing just gives huge "holy shit two cakes!"

if you're writing 'the left has gone too far' or 'the lgbtqs have gone too far' in the year of our fascism 2025 you have chosen a side and trust us, we have taken note

RULE ONE OF INDIE GAME MARKETING: you have got to get more annoying

Indie devs, if you think having some sort of sunset plan for a live service game is impossible wait til you hear about 1. Your odds of ever successfully making a live service game (they're not good) 2. Your far more onerous responsibilities under the GDPR/DMCA as a live service provider

Lesbians deserve more unapologetic amoral power fantasies.

BREAKING NEWS: Pinball dating sim hybrid game adds cozy rain mode?! WOW 🌧️ #pinball #datingsim #indiedev #indiegame #godot #pixelart #cozy #stream #itchio #arcade

Know any streamers or content creators who might like the look of our demo and maybe want a key to try it? btw new trailer to help show off what you can expect from the Goliath Offices.

Is this what will finally get Gamers™ to understand why every single time I see "historical footage of [place] REMASTERED 60FPS" I die a little inside?

i'mma be real with y'all i don't even know who i am irl anymore, at least not with other people it's been so long since i had to do more than just throw a(n autistic) mask on for an hour or two, that like, long-term? i don't know who i am with other people around, at all

Tracker music is so insane, it's a symphony to my ears and is a technological achievement that wouldn't exist today. God I want to learn how to compose music, do you just, pick a chord and play in that???

Another thing I haven’t seen people talking about is how unapologetically pro-trans Zohran Mamdani has been during his campaign. The so called “vibe shift” is nothing more than an internet algorithm astroturfed by billionaires.

introducing the "puzzle compass," a certifiably correct and statistically proven chart of my infallible opinion what games need added? let me know, because i am the authority on this purely objective study #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #gamestudies

Zohran Mamdani is the only democrat in the mayoral race that released an LGBTQ platform and the only democrat in the country (that I know of) to commit to safeguarding gender affirming care for youth + adults with $$.

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.

I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but... the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

The duality of my artstyle is very funny when I zoom out

🔮So begins the long journey of self promo.✨ The initial (still very WIP) Steam page for Marblous Worlds is live. If rolling around vibrant worlds and making your own marble design sounds fun to you I'd appreciate a wishlist 💖 store.steampowered.com/app/3469260/... #IndieGame #Godot4 #GameDev #Games

Forgive yourself: For not creating when you want to. For abandoning your creative self. For judging your ideas. For taking a break from art. For all of it. Forgive so you can make the choice to create anew.

I kinda want to draw more characters in this artstyle.

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

yea honestly reading this for myself this really doesnt come off as "game devs should start using genAI for large-scale games", more "games are getting too big and unsustainable to make and to keep it up theyre gonna have to resort to shit like genAI". not advocacy but lament for the state of things

VGAPride is my program for displaying pride flags in MS-DOS. Here's photos of my Pentium-60mhz showing the rainbow flag, trans pride flag, non-binary pride flag, and asexual pride flag. github.com/foone/VGAPride

My partner just shared these with me and I am obsessed
