Mikio's birthday was last week...of course on the day I posted about Sayaka's 🤧 Mikio doesn't have ID or sprite art yet, only art in the PV coming up for the game later this year, which I don't want to share. So happy birthday in spirit, my guy. 🥲 He's a late-introduced main/side character. #gamedev

applying for jobs again

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.

it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Mocha 🤎 I wish they could stay babies forever, she's already around 3. She is just one of the nearly half-dozen cats who just showed up on our back porch half-dead over an 18 month period at our last address. #cats #cat #rescue #animalrescue #tortoiseshell #tortie

Mid-sized long-furred dilute tortoiseshell cat hanging out inside the "mouth" of a bizarre-looking faux fur shag-texture cat tree that is in the shape of a monster-like...thing with big eyes. She is looking right at the camera with her green squinty eyes, and her 2 front paws are gripping the edge of the opening of the cat tree/cave.

Got some goodies in the mail! That big red sticker is going on my car right next to my pride caduceus @midnightsprings.bsky.social is the artist and should have plenty more goodies in store! Check em out at midnightsprings.uwu.ai

A small collection of two sticker sheets, an acrylic keychain and a sticker that matches the keychain

A sticker sheet themed Moth Graffiti, featuring moths, a young woman and hearts with blue, purple and black hues

A sticker sheet of dessert themed taiyaki, a fish shaped cake from Japan. The fish are in a variety of colors and topped with icing and sprinkles

A matching sticker and keychain set. They are designed to look like a paramedic badge, with a red Star of Life symbol, and a Rod of Asclepius superimposed on top. A heart outline overlays the star shape, and bullet shapes are inlaid on each of the star points. The three bullets at the top have Deny, Delay, Depose written on them

Time to step up, allies. It only takes a minute.

I am reaching out regarding the new policy to show legal name for projects on Kickstarter. While I understand the need for security in these times where fraud is high, this new process does nothing to provide safety to us backers as we are not normally aware of the heads of these companies in the first place, and places Trans creators at risk of harassment and abuse if their Legal Names do not match their currently utilized names. Indeed, even as a cis man, my Legal Name does not match my colloquial name, as I've utilized my Middle Name as my preferred name for over 15 years.

I'd strongly suggest rethinking these policies to ensure protection for Trans creators on your platform.

Allies, time to show up. Kickstarter has an update that is doxing and deadnaming folks. Instead of just giving a verified badge, creators' legal names are displayed below their display names. This is a dangerous update. Email security@kickstarter.com. Make them walk it back.

I'm excited to more properly introduce Airi and Kei when their sprites are done. For main game MCs they are the only pre-established couple (Mitsuki and Chiaki are technically side chars). They have a special place in my heart, and I loved designing their clothes/aesthetics to complement eachother!
