If I could choose if all gen ai exists or none I would prefer none. I don't think an ai image being a meme inherently makes it good or worthwhile, I'm just defending the ai meme usage I've seen and enjoyed. The level of harm involved in e.g. presidents singing karaoke together is low enough for me

The "cool I'll do that" would entail more ai memes. If someone is set out to make money or spam the market, they're not going to have heard of ai's potential from memes, they'll already know. Normalisation isn't an all or nothing thing, normalisation of memes doesnt necessitate normalisation of slop

The ai memes I've seen the joke is less what the ai made but what the prompter got it to make. E.g. the lyrics in "I Glued My Balls To My Butthole Again" were made by hand and whats funny imo is how that goes against the censor. Also I liked it when grok was used to make fun of Elon and politicians

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

imo meme usage belittles ai not normalizes. It's plagiarism if it's used commercially or acting like it was made from thin air. But memes do neither, an ai meme is not pretending it was hand made, usually the opposite, it's funny because it's stupid stuff ai made from the aggregate of serious stuff.

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Using memes are very different because by far the largest environmental impact of ai is not in using it but in training the models, and no company is going to spend so much money training a model just for memes, there is no returns in that.

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Of course majorities are never wrong, but yes, AI slop is pollution, that's what that word means, but not everything made with ai is low quality and low effort, nor is there is an obligation for everyone to pour effort into every non-commercial thing they make.

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

obviously, nobody likes dogshit things. A lot of people have a general dislike of ai in all forms because some forms of it threaten careers, but that doesn't mean you can gatekeep what other people enjoy personally

In everything there's an unavoidable cost; behind almost every product there is human suffering. The goal is to find the best balance to minimize harm while maximizing fulfillment in life, to where you still sleep at night. Maybe I'm jaded, but I think there's only so many problems you can focus on

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Completely irrelevant, but I did a double take when I saw this because I read "Boricua" as "Serious", I mean if you squint the words look kinda similar lol

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Wellll... you have a point, but I prefer games that let me go fast!

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Memes are the ethical way to use AI images/music/video because it treats the technology as a toy not as the serious commercial tool that it's intended to be

Shift is better because then you can use your ring finger instead of the weak little pinky! And who needs a sprint key anyway, just have sprint always be on!

My game has a big focus on music, so I made decorative "dancers"💃 who choose random dance patterns for each body part to move when a randomly chosen instrument plays. 👢👢🐈🐈 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #unity #gameaudio

Terraria's bunny 🐇 cloud ☁️ inspired me to make one myself, but later I made the cloud art-style less restrictive and made aquatic animals instead 🐋 #gameart #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame I do wonder though if there are other animals that could work well with the old constraints 🤔

I mean I even found out after I had updated, when I looked at the release notes to see what new they added and instead they removed!

000

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

Yeah... But lack of complete Linux support would be a deal breaker back when I chose the forge so I felt BETRAYED

100

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

Yeah, I don't know why they didn't keep Linux fully supported! I didn't even get anything except for the profiler GUI showing up out of upgrading so I'm definitely gonna revert to the version before when I release

100

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

Linux has always been the second most important platform for me to release for, because I want to switch to daily driving it one day. I still don't know what "native steam deck support" even means like why specifically steamdeck OS, that's feels like if they limited the forge to only windows 11

120

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

Does this count lol, fml I was so upset when I read this about the forge (github.com/ConfettiFX/T... which I use for my game), maybe I'll downgrade (I needed to upgrade in order to use the profiler, it was broken before the new version) 😭

Thank you guys so much for 1K followers!! At the pace my twitter account was growing it would be 2067 before I reached 1K there! 😅

That lizard, I mean dragon looks so cute, I mean ferocious ❤️ I love that procedural animation

I just can't not mention it, this picture from your steam page is too cute, I love it!

Posts like these make me feel like an imposter for not having enough of an impostor syndrome 🥲

I heard "still life" is about fruits on tables or whatever, did I do it right? :) #digitalart #sketch #art

Well I guess not then it's far off for me lol 😂

I'm an indie dev does that count?

Looks beautiful! I love the colors

That better not be painful for mr. slime lol

If only AI was good at simple 2D shapes that anyone can make in minutes instead of the highly detailed art skilled artists take days to make.

When I was around 9 I begged my dad to buy me an engine and I think it was like "FPS Creator" or something, but I couldn't figure the program out at all 😂. Years later I made a game with Scratch, and then moved on to Unity which I've stayed with till today

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 11/11/2024

Oh also this frog. In the game he might be a...... snack for the cat to eat... but he's not a real frog though! he's just a gold collectable lol

010

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 11/11/2024

I'd like to announce I am a frog enjoyer 🐸, and that my game does contain frogs 🐸

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 11/11/2024

It's a little hard to know based on only a video because the feel of the controls is missing in a video, but I think it could work well if you make sure to force a new frame update every time a button changes the animation so its snappy and responsive :)

I'm also making video game music

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 10/11/2024

Doesn't it work to just rename the file (in unity, or outside unity also the .meta file) and the class name in c# (they need to match (except in newer versions maybe))? I do that all the time and it seems to work fine

000

Manamongods @manamongods.bsky.social · 10/11/2024

I wish I could relate but I can't because I'm using a lot of third party code which sometimes has weird bugs, for example deep in the input system it sometimes gets stuck on a line of code for MINUTES, retrieving info about my keyboard (and it was hell trying to even find which device was stuck)! 😭
