Lmao someone accidentally sent their receipt from some restaurant in San Francisco to my phone Their bill ran just under $100 for a barbecue lunch/dinner which is kind of impressive Anyway this is why I always get my receipts printed 🫣

If you have seen our Steam page recently, then you've already seen some of @morbidember.bsky.social's amazing capsule art and banner work 🌲🐈 It has been amazing working with her on taking our retro #indiegame and giving it the key polished visuals it deserves! store.steampowered.com/app/5280890/...

If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

This is (partially) a joke, but more seriously, I have actually found my game designs get better the more I reject conventional wisdom, and explicitly design around my personal strengths I just struggle to give that advice to novices because, weeeeell, your instincts aren't that good yet probably 😭

See to my findings even as an idea generator I find it troublesome because the machine doesn't understand the reason or purpose behind it's own ideas, since I have to research what it is and why anyway, it just ends up being a pointless step, regardless to say the rest I big time agree with

Ember🔥 @morbidember.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Yep! There's no better explanation behind their actions, they didn't bother to understand the reasons behind why I think the way I do before condemning me for them so it's obvious these people are not to be trusted

It feels like that Yugi and Kaiba meme where Kaiba gets wrecked by Exodia but the final card of Exodia is just "I do know how Gen AI works actually and it's stupid"

Ember🔥 @morbidember.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I think it's funny when I get lumped into those "FOOLS WHO ARE WRONG ABOUT AI" lists cause in the beginning I was open-minded to AI Art and took the time to understand how it worked and attempted to find a use for it but that's how I came to the conclusion that it sucks and does more harm than good

Sometimes my favorite part of making a game is simply writing the documentation for it

Ember🔥 @morbidember.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Of course whether that works or not depends on their understanding of how 3D modeling works cause some people legit think it's all trigonometry and scripting and not "I make arrow go up and my square is now big"

020

Ember🔥 @morbidember.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

for me it's even worse cause as you know I specifically do art for games so even when the Normie understands what a game dev is they automatically assume it's anything related to code so I have to say "I am an artist who focuses on art for video games"

The full irony is that no one's social media experience is truly what "everyone" is talking about, and what is a big deal in their circle is no one's concern in someone else's Big important news will be widespread enough to reach outside twitter, you do not need twitter to be in the know

Ember🔥 @morbidember.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I know a decent amount of people IRL who still use twitter but don't have much of a following nor focus on building one, but also hate Elon So when I ask why they don't leave it usually turns out to be FOMO, they fear being out of the loop on what everyone's talking about

It's so funny how this "tool of the future" is presented. "No no we only used a little tiny tiny bit of it way at the start! It's like we barely used it at all! Don't be mad!" Bitch I thought AI was the future? If it was the future your think studios would be proud of using it, and yet.

Growing up Half-Asian and Half-Italian in California, most food I ate was either a variety of Asian, Italian, Mexican and whatever Americanized versions of those existed So I had only just now, in my 30's, got into eating cottage cheese and it's all because of this line from Always Sunny

Screenshot from Family Fight episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Charlie gestures at a bowl of cottage cheese and says "Dennis, what is this enticing bowl of white?"
