It’s depressing to see how many homebrew games for old computers and consoles are now resorting to AI art - especially for loading screens/cutscenes. Get a pixel artist who CREATES something . Oh, and while we’re at it, stop all these “Claude” ports of games. Code it yourself or don’t bother.

when you have a creative project that fails to attract larger visibility, you usually never really know why - it's diffuse, and arbitrary. there are people who get lots of capital by trying to sell answers and make sense of the senseless. but the worst thing you could do is believe in the algorithm

Earlier this week, the ALA released their 2025 Most Challenged Books Report. Thought top books are the headline, this is the data point that stands out to me, "92 percent of all book challenges were initiated by pressure groups, government officials and decision makers" not parents or teachers.
