Over the weekend, my partner confronted an AI vendor who was intentionally lying about using AI - this ended up with him becoming verbally abusive before coming out of his booth to physically assault my friend who started filming the incident - he BIT HER (yes BIT)

So as not to curse y'all with the visuals, I'll just say that Kmart is currently selling rip offs of popular board games with AI slop boxes that are light as all hell; Things like Twister, Guess Who, Hungry Hungry Hippos and way more in a busted AI style and an off the original name.

Ready for a new retro adventure? Destiny Spire is almost here. Gotta warn u, battles can get a little intense, especially when u reach a new area, but it makes overcoming them that much more satisfying especially as your resources are dwindling in a dungeon #rpg #jrpg #indiegame #retrogaming #8bit

My biggest pet peeve is that there's a ton of scam websites that are "Free QR Code Generator"s then the QR code stops working after a few days and then redirects you to ask you to PAY to re-activate it. I made a page on website for making ACTUALLY FREE QR Codes. Enjoy. konig.games/QRCodes/ #QRCodes

Adagio of Life and Death (from the soundtrack of the same name by Joe Hisaishi) 240x420 pixel, 32 colors Celebrating Princess Mononoke's return in italian movie theatres (not my usual) #pixelart #studioghibli #princessmononoke

An illustration of a flooded forest with rich, lush vegetation from the movie Princess Mononoke, by Hayao Miyazaki. In a clearing between trees, shrouded by warm light, the silhouette of the Forest God, looking directyl at the viewer.
Scattered across the fern leaves, the tree bark and grass, many kodama spirits can be seen.

Reflected in the lake below, the warm light dims into a nocturnal sky, as the deer god reflection takes the shape of the starlit Nightwalker.

My biggest tip if you're boothing is always invite people to sit down and play("dozo" and a hand wave at your game is good if they don't speak english), the bitsummit audience can be pretty hesitant to actively ask or try to sit down but they really do want to!
