I make music sometimes — on hiatus

PostsRepliesMedia
Alex 🎹 🎶 @musicbyalex.bsky.social · 11h
Eventually I want to return to making art and music again. I've been on hiatus ever since I developed severe anxiety back in 2024. It stopped me from being creative and putting myself out there. I'm still figuring things out. Looking for a way forward. But it's hard, especially in these times ...

Getting sick and tired of all these YouTube channels focused on sharing game trailers that keep promoting games with AI slop in them. Especially if a game has an AI disclosure, like what Steam enforces, then you do NOT promote it. Simple as that.

Really annoyed with YouTube’s AI generated video chapters that aren’t even accurate. It also feels really violating that these are being added onto people’s videos without their consent. I only noticed this was a thing because old Let’s Plays from years ago suddenly had chapters for no reason.

With the newly released AI warning for Steam v1.1.0 you can turn the AI disclosure on Steam store pages into an unmissable popup and blur or hide games with an AI disclosure in the search results! github.com/seeeeew/aiwa... addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addo... chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ai-wa...

The lower part is covered by a popup warning about an AI Generated Content Disclosure. The logo of the AI warning for Steam browser extension is overlayed in the top left corner.

On YouTube I quickly click to 'don't recommend' these retro games channels where the guy puts an AI-generated fake screenshot of a game as the thumbnail with something written like "Incredible graphics". You could just use the real game's screenshot you moron, google still works for that.

I've been reading a lot of 80's paperback horror, specifically those huge 500+ page epics where you meet an entire town full of characters right before they're devoured / mutated / go mad, etc., so I felt inspired to paint a paperback novel cover for one that doesn't exist!
an isolated farmhouse at dusk, a small shed to the right, a row of telephone wires in the foreground. the background is a mass of turbulent orange and blue clouds forming a grinning, fanged mouth.an isolated farmhouse at dusk, a small shed to the right, a row of telephone wires in the foreground. the background is a mass of turbulent orange and blue clouds forming a grinning, fanged mouth.

the title is RIPPER, with "it's too late for tears..." written above it.

I'm disappointed with how many indie horror game developers use AI. I was watching Caseoh play that grandma horror game, and the writing, story, voices, and some of the art used AI and it was a fucking mess. I know streamers play these for money but i wish they wouldn't give it attention

People are dunking on this guy but we really need to support and encourage people who make the decision to step away from AI. Like this is the goal!! For folk to realize and stop using it, even if they were to begin with!! This is a good thing!!

Remember kids: - Discord is not a place for storing game dev/project materials - You (probably) don't need Jira - Your internal deadlines should be BEFORE their final due date - Don't put up with stuff; speak up - If someone can't speak up, speak up for them - Stay a little silly but take no shit

@bsky.app Can you please just fire the clown who is responsible for using AI to code your site? It's constantly a pain to use, suffers huge amounts of downtime, and affects everyone who uses it for work. Just hire someone who can code! Fucking AI shit again?

it really is like this sometimes
digital art featuring a girl in the center of the frame. its face is obscured by noise, only its eyeballs are visible. a white/red camera detection square draws attention to the girl's face. the word "ENEMY" is attached to the square. the background is distorted, a mess of swirling reds. "it is disgusting. it is abhorrent. it is rotting" are written continuously behind it.
