send this to your artist friends who are stuck on Twitter and are having trouble branching out

edit of the "Look Man He Helped Me Through a Very Tough Time" meme

The guy on the left representing X/Twitter is yelling "I LOVE GRADUALLY ENSHITTIFYING MYSELF WITH A SIDE OF CSAM"

the guy next to him, representing "artist (totally not stockholmed at all)" is telling a concerned person on the right with a cap on "look man it's the only website where I have reach, the changes aren't that bad you just gotta respect it."

PvPvE game updates be like "Experience an engaging new game mode with exciting rewards, interesting gameplay loops and a whole new way to engage with your builds. And the best part? People who play 20 hours a day can STILL come instakill and make your life hell instead of letting you play the game."

Worth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.

steam AI disclosures are so funny. they clearly know they're in the wrong, but they still think they can find the magic combination of words so people will make an exception for them. guys you don't understand i HAD to use AI and the game only has a LITTLE slop and i'm just a little birthday boy

The only reason to do this is to cause harm to said children. That is the point. They would rather those kids died than grow up trans. It's always been about the violence. Doxxing trans children in this political climate puts them in unspeakable danger. It's not a bug it's a feature.

Don’t hesitate to come to the polls; DOJ monitors will be outside the 100-foot zone, you don’t have to talk, you also don’t have to freak out, if you see them talking to anyone before they vote (they can only do so after) or engaging otherwise, tell the precinct head judge. We’re trained to help.

As the old Kurt Vonnegut quote goes...

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

I feel like a lot of the reporting around video game layoffs are missing the point and assuming that video game development is about something silly like developing video games when we all know it’s about ensuring exponential growth each fiscal quarter by increasing the company’s profit margins

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.

Culmination of my #RAMP2026 work today. I've done a lot! Made three custom enemies, sprited them, set up all their behaviour, and in the process of doing so, made a melee enemy that you can parry! I think i can actually populate my map now. My real map...

moreover, any artist that succumbs to generative AI as a "helper" in the process is an artist no more. you are to the medium what mold is to a dwelling. an illness, a poisonous growth that threatens the very foundation while damaging any living being around it.

using AI at any stage of game development is loser shit but the excuse of "oh we only used it during the concept art stage" is always insane to me. concept art is literally the fun part. you asked the robot to do the fun part for you. do you also need the robot to eat dessert for you

I have been informed by the Discord server I stole this from that you should NOT plant bamboo because it is an invasive species. This was given as an alternative.

Anyone wanna go plant endangered native plants that are illegal to remove on the land they want to build data centers?

Reply from user reaksta

Environmental scientists here. Plant elderberry scrubs Sambucus spp. which are native to North America. It's illegal to remove them because they provide habitat to Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetles, which are federally protected by the Endangered Species Act.

If I'm browsing for mods for a game I like and I see that you've created a mod that uses a genAI cover image, I'm blacklisting everything you ever make. If you used genAI for the cover, you may have used it for the code. It also shows your ability to give a shit is negotiable. Keep your slop.

None of these ai teatsuckers will ever know the joy of going out of your way to learn a new discipline within game dev, studying, iterating over days- weeks and then finally experiencing the mountain-cracking triumph when you see finished art you made move in game, code you wrote, executed perfectly

Bit of an earlier attempt where I took photos of a pistol toy I had and edited them in much the same vein as the classic Dooms did, but that takes a lot of effort to rotoscope and edit after the fact compared to rendering out hand-animated 3D models if you want them to look good, weirdly enough… 🤔

Squidgy @jenh.uk · 15/06/2026

One bonus side effect of doing things this way is that if you want to replace all of the sprites with different offsets, you can just re-import replacement patch sprites and the Texture editor will use the new ones as long as you give them the same names.
