Folks, you gotta let it go. You know what I’m talking about, don’t make me name it. It was a huge part of my childhood too. One of my top 3 most formative fandoms. If I can give it up because the creator is a loathsome twat using the money to attack vulnerable people, you can too. And should.

Because profit lost to piracy still tracks as audience demand. High numbers tell the corpos this franchise still has widespread cultural relevance, and simply isn’t being properly monetized. The *only* way to ethically engage with it is to drop it like it’s radioactive and run.

But by all means, keep working on those chips that will let us connect our brains to the internet. That’s never turned out to be a bad idea in the history sci-fi.

[DARK TOWER BOOK 7 SPOILERS] Did I really model and render a whole-ass scene just for a stupid meme to cope with getting to *that* part of the book? Yes. I do things like that sometimes. #TheDarkTower #Roland #Gunslinger #StephenKing #Meme #Blender #Books #Spoilers #BreakingBad #Hank
3D rendered recreation of "Walt screaming for Hank" meme with Leko in place of Walt in the back seat of a vehicle with a panicked expression on his face.

Text the render reads:
"ROLAND!!!
HE'S NOT DEAD! YOU NEED TO DOUBLE TAP THE SON OF A BITCH!!!
HE'S STILL ALIVE, ROLAND! HE STILL HAS HIS GUN!!!
ROLAAAAAAAAND!"

“Relying too heavily on nostalgic beats can cause a franchise to stagnate. Maybe we should let go of the past so we can explore new ideas for the future without being held back by certain expectations?” “I can’t believe Disney hates Star Wars and thinks the fans are dumb!”

Machine Learning: Good. Solves problems. Does tedious things humans don’t want to do. Does them much faster. Generative AI: Bad. Chews up human-made creative work and vomits it out so lazy, talentless scumbags can lie and scam people. #FuckAI

A paragraph from the upcoming chapter of my fan fiction, Flight of the Magpie.

"Sure enough, there were a handful of bounty hunters in the galaxy with that level of reputation. Time and again Zan had talked Tailii's ear off about one legendary warrior or another when they were kids. The ruthless Duros gunslinger, Cad Bane. The Mandalorian, Jango Fett, whose son had taken up his armor and become a rising star in his own right. The beautiful Palliduvan sharpshooter, Aurra Sing, who may or may not have awakened something in Tailii when she first saw a full body hologram of the woman in that iconic form-fitting red bodysuit."

I really wish I could have found enough of the good in it to like it, but I gave it two chances and just couldn’t do it. I thought Ahsoka and Ezra were annoying early in their shows, but they grew on me. Kaz never stood a chance. Annoying AND plot armor stronger than the Sun Crusher hull.

Every story you hear about a language model "going rogue" and "hacking" is marketing bullshit. Literally all they do is regurgitate words to try and sound human. If an LLM is hacking, it's because it was given access and told to do something so the companies can act surprised. #FuckAI

It's a placeholder. It's not SUPPOSED to look good. Also isn't it kinda fun to have an excuse to draw badly on purpose? There are literally SO MANY reasons not to use generative AI. Just don't do it. Art is for humans. #FuckAI #AntiAI #GameDev #SupportHumanArtists
Comparison of a mockup fantasy game environment with two different methods of placeholder artwork. It is a generic castle hallway with a blue rug, a short table against a wall, and a large painting on the wall framed by lit torches.

Top: The painting on the wall is an AI-generated image of a knight fighting a dragon on a volcanic mountaintop. I did not generate this image, but took it from Google Images to use for an example. 
Text:
AI Placeholder
-Appears too polished at a glance
-Already looks like it belongs in the scene
-Easy to mistake for final asset version
-People will get pissed if you accidentally leave it in

Bottom: The same scene, same angle, but the painting is now a terrible, sketchy, MSPaint looking drawing of a stick figure knight fighting a dragon that looks suspiciously like Trogdor the Burninator. There are a few scribbles of color, but it is predominantly black lines on white background.
Text:
Crappy Hand-drawn Placeholder
-Looks terrible on purpose
-Stands out IMMEDIATELY
-Unlikely to be mistaken for final asset
-Get to make stupid references and jokes nobody will ever seeBlender window of the mockup game scene showing that it is literally just a branching hallway with nothing around the corners or behind the camera. My customary "I didn't use AI" message is visible outside the boundaries of the hallway and says "ai sux lol -Leko"

If you need placeholders, DRAW CRAPPY STICK FIGURES IN MSPAINT. Don't use AI. Shitty placeholders stand out. I guarantee you will not forget to replace them with final assets later. If the AI-generated shit fits in too well, you WILL forget it's a placeholder, and people WILL get mad at you for it.

If you have to answer the AI disclosure with anything other than “NONE WAS EVER USED,” I don’t want your game. I don’t care what you used it for, at which stage, or if any of it is in the final product. Your project is tainted, it’s off the wishlist, and I’m telling my friends. #FuckAI #Gaming

This IS something that's always bugged me about morality systems. It's not fun being "evil" when it just translates to "be an irredeemable dick for no reason." Dark Leko doesn't join the assholes bullying the alien. He grabs the leader by the throat and throws him off the overpass.

"Basic" isn't English. It's a completely alien language from a distant galaxy. Every piece of Star Wars media you have ever consumed has been a translation/localization/dub from Basic into whatever language you watch/read it in.

I don’t think a game is “bad” just because it doesn’t cater to my specific preferences. If it is competently made and shows investment and care in the execution, I can let it go as “not for me, and that’s okay.”

So @kelto-eboroth.bsky.social is a NSFW alt account I intended to keep strictly separate from my main. It was compromised this morning and used to send out spam, so I have to drop the "that's not me" charade to warn people. I've secured it, but don't answer any DMs from the pervy evil wizard. #PSA
Screenshot of the "Kelto Eboroth" Bluesky account, which was recently compromised and used to send porn bot spam to random users. This was an NSFW 18+ art account that I made a distinct effort to distance from my main, and planned to maintain a level of deniability if anyone ever connected them. Unfortunately, this is a matter of safety, and keeping up the thin charade would be irresponsible.

Adding AO3 tags in preparation for posting the first chapter of my fan fiction. I typed "beskar" and got suggested tags that get less normal as you go down the list. Includes tags such as "Beskar Armor Kink" "Inappropriate use of Beskar" and most notably "BESKAR STRAP-ONS."

Clone Wars style model of Zan, a green-skinned Mirialan bounty hunter with a ninja aesthetic. 

He  wears a long green coat with utility pouches on the shoulders and belt, a simple black shirt underneath, dark blue pants, and black gloves and boots. He also wears a black hood and a mask over the lower half of his face.

Unmasked, he has long messy black hair, with symmetrical Mirialan tattoos in the center of his brow, and directly underneath his eyes.

y'know, "squish it, skew it, turn it all around" actually does a LOT for this logo. Also made a few other layout adjustments and threw in some TIEs to take up some of the empty space. #Art #OC #Blender #StarWars #FanFic #Writing #OCArt #3DModel #Tailii #OriginalCharacter #GraphicDesign #Logo
DEFINITELY VERY FINAL VERSION OF "FLIGHT OF THE MAGPIE" COVER ART. The title logo is skewed and slanted, the starry background has been redone to be less dense and uniform, Zan's ship is in the upper left corner, and some TIE fighters are zooming around in the right corner. The empty space was bugging me.

Leko The Robot @csleko.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
We have a title. Did something clever with the logo and I don't think most folks will appreciate it. Also scrolled through so many fonts that "Magpie" no longer looks like a real word. #Art #OC #Blender #StarWars #FanFic #Writing #OCArt #3DModel #Tailii #OriginalCharacter #GraphicDesign #Logo
The same cover art as the previous post, but the placeholder title has been replaced with a real one. This fan fiction is officially titled "Flight of the Magpie." The logo features a stylized side-facing bird silhouette above the title, which is rendered in red and gray with a light gradient overlay making it appear slightly metallic.

Description copied from previous post:
Tailii is sitting in a pose on top of her ship, the Rusty Magpie, the cockpit of which is visible behind her. She is smiling and looking up in the direction of the placeholder title.

There are 4 planets in the against a starry background bordered with blue nebula. The large blue and red planet directly behind Tailii is her homeworld, Sulon. Above and to the left of it is Coruscant. 

Naming the other two planets would be giving away some spoilers. If I did a good job on the render, the top one might be identifiable.

Also Zan's ship, The Dragon's Shadow is zooming outward on the left side there.

I made cover art instead of actually finishing up the first chapter. Or giving it a proper title. Tailii is sitting in a pose on top of her ship, the Rusty Magpie, the cockpit of which is visible behind her. She is smiling and looking up in the direction of the placeholder title. (STAR WARS: TITLE OF THE STORY: A PLACEHOLDER STORY) 

There are 4 planets in the against a starry background bordered with blue nebula. The large blue and red planet directly behind Tailii is her homeworld, Sulon. Above and to the left of it is Coruscant.

Screenshot of LibreOffice Writer showing the final lines of Chapter 1 of the Star Wars fan fiction I've been working on for a while.

"...gripped the large silver lever tightly and pushed it forward. The stars ahead stretched into those familiar bright lines, and the Rusty Magpie flung itself into distant space."

The bars at the bottom of the window indicate that this is page 10 of 12 (the extra pages contain my vague outlined ideas for where the story is going) and the complete text of Chapter 1 is comprised of 6,372 words.
