Could not be more disappointed. Loved GameChops and Radio Cutman. And he refuses to address the genAI situation because he knows it's going to spoil all the goodwill fans are trying to give him in his legal battles he's having with his YouTube channel and Materia Music.

One of my head canons for @fieldsofmistria.bsky.social is that Juniper has done a body swap experiment on Olric & Dozy, which would explain why Dozy can run a business, & why Olric is like a Golden Retriever & you cannot date him. (Also, I've stayed up til sunrise 2 times playing this game.)

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Twitch isn't making Gen AI training *opt-in* because no one would voluntarily choose to opt in. Instead, they are offering an opt-out option.

We MUST use this same energy of taking our fellow streamers' voices off that AI voice site to call out & stop supporting streamers who use AI TTS bots of voice actors' voices that we ALL know are still living & WHOLELY against their voices being used for profit on Tangia & all those other apps.

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

Jesus, this is way worse than I thought - they want to just remove Section 230 entirely, not limit it. This would make websites legally liable for all user-generated content, which would effectively force most such sites to close down, or require all content to be pre-approved.

Had to have this talk with someone who honestly meant well so just a gentle reminder. Even if it's free it still supports the TERF queen. It still keeps the franchise relevant when we need to let it die to stop her from harming people. Do Not Download/Use/Read/Steal/Play Any HP media. Let it die.

I think there's really only two types of people. Those who wish others can suffer as much as they may have, and those who wish others can have the same joys and highs that they have. So, whenever I'm feeling particularly sad... I try to give something joyful away.

Seems more promising than "there was an em dash it must be fake!" And yeah, I might not be able to remember every detail about the stuff I've written, owing to my moth-brained memory, but you risk me launching into a loving 6 hour presentation if you ask me questions about a scene or character.

Screenshot from Tumblr, user nocryptographer:

I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation.

A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written.

AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence.

Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same.

There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that.

I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it.

If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene...

then it's real.

Hi there! I'm Pat! If you like Final Fantasy, JRPGs, Zeldalikes, chill/chatty vibes, & achievement hunting - come say hi on Twitch! Here's an updated media kit for TwitchCon 2025! <3

020

ActorPat @actorpat.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

Anything I miss? Please feel free to share your tips, tricks, and advice!

120

ActorPat @actorpat.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

14) Most important for last! - Have fun. :) Yes, there can be problems/drama, yes there can be anxiety and nerves, but ultimately, TwitchCon is about celebrating getting to nerd out with friends about things we love. Enjoy time with your crowd. <3

140

ActorPat @actorpat.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

13) Last but not least, DON'T wait to follow-up w/those you network with, particularly sponsors/businesses. If the game dev or energy drink or whatever thing you like says "reach out and remind us we talked here", do that ASAP, because others will beat you to it otherwise.

140

ActorPat @actorpat.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

12) You're gonna be walking a lot, talking a lot, getting a lack of sleep, eating poorly, & possibly drinking. HAVE WATER. And also, conventions can be overwhelming. Don't be afraid to take some time away in a quiet spot to sit down & lower the overstimulation.

130

ActorPat @actorpat.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

11) For safety, consider only posting pictures/stories to socials AFTER whatever events (or even just after the con entirely), so that people outside your group cannot track what you are doing.

130

ActorPat @actorpat.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

10) Streamers - have a media kit one-sheet made, like my pinned comment. Have a QR code link to it on your phone/biz cards, so when networking or talking w/ potential sponsors/partnerships you have an easy stat sheet to show them & so you remember what to pitch about yourself.

130

ActorPat @actorpat.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

9) If you've been a streamer on Twitch for more than a few months, you -probably- already know anything they might teach you at the panels. Panels are enjoyable, but don't get FOMO if you miss any "educational" ones, it's overwhelmingly info you already know. Meetups > Panels.

140

ActorPat @actorpat.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

8) There's TONS of parties/events, & numerous opportunities to drink. WATCH YOUR DRINKS. Watch your friends' drinks. Protect each other. Better yet, just don't drink in public and only do so in a safe environment with trusted company (it's cheaper anyway).

130

ActorPat @actorpat.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

7) PLEASE respect people's boundaries. Don't assume you can hug, high-five, or get super close to people. Give people space, and if they offer to initiate, then you can reciprocate.

130

ActorPat @actorpat.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

6) Ideally always have a buddy for safety, but it's ok to break off from a group! If you're super excited for a panel/meetup, but your group is not, GO ANYWAY if missing it will make you upset. Just make sure you have some sort of check-in system so you can keep each other safe.

130

ActorPat @actorpat.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

5) Those going in groups, make it clear to all that getting separated happens. Miscommunications, huge crowds, surprise situations - things happen! 99% of the time, getting separated is not intentional. Your friend didn't ditch you. Plan how to stay in touch and regroup.

120

ActorPat @actorpat.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

4) Related to 2&3, streamers owe you absolutely nothing, regardless of how much time or $ you spend on their channel. Hopefully they DO want to interact w/ their community. But you are not entitled to their time, affection, or whatever else. Don't be upset if they don't offer it.

130
