I won't be at migw! I'm not really built for conferences/pub nights/picnics- doesn't help that there's some trauma around a couple of folks there from the old days (don't worry, not you) Hit me up after for a call or a hang! (not here- bsky locked me out of DM's because I won't give it my passport)

Learning godot (and quietly refreshing python I guess) and I think I'm starting to be bothered by how little I'm using upper case. I like myVariableName. Shift key instead of spacebar feels faster somehow. "_my_variable_name" makes me feel like I'm typing quietly to anxious teens on tumblr in 2010.

Oh hey artstation haven't spoken to you since we fell out over your addiction to slop. New ownership you say? Respect for artists, protections against scraping? Your new owner says "AI is the future"? Yeah that's ok mate bit busy right now let's talk again in a year or two after the bubble bursts.

I'm not using AI. No LLM text/code, no images. If my work someday asks me to drink the slop I'll find something else to do. Why would I outsource my decisionmaking to anyone- let alone a lowest-common-denominator absolute mean average corporate answer bot that lies constantly.

A widespread iced coffee brand has many flavours and strengths, with colour-coded bottles. Recently they added a promotional graphic to their bottles in the colour of their weakest variant. As a direct corollary, I am unexpectedly ready to challenge god himself to a footrace and/or single combat.

My city is having a free public transport day to help with fuel use/costs and wow it's weirdly super nice to not feel so aggressively policed? Doesn't matter if I pay my fare or not, I guess there's some sort of persecution complex overhead I'm free of today?

Not really stumbling into the kind of games accessibility resources I'm looking for, organically- I'm starting a research journey, but I'd love to crowdsource links to accessibility advocates/info etc. looking at games developed specifically for access, headswitch games etc, not adaptations for AAA?

Weird seeing everyone's 2024 photo retrospectives. Maybe 3 photos of me exist from this last year, and I'm not in charge of them or it would be zero. I don't think we ever interrogated phone photo culture? One day in highschool everyone went unrecorded and the next day- kapow. (have some art)

Moni is good people and the machinery around this stuff is a mess in their part of the world. I'd swing harder at this if I had steadier work, so instead I'm asking y'all to swing a couple bucks at it if you can.

DnD DM's and other roleplay organisers- I guess I'm opening PWYW commissions? I'm looking for more steady work (admin/software etc) and this is ideally to help fill the hours until that's sorted. Items, characters, locations! Drop me a DM or a dee skeet or whatever we call it here.

This is tricky to word without spoilers but it feels like one of those plot holes noone talks about? So in The Prestige... Could Hugh Jackman just do the thing once without a gun, and then afterwards do it the same way as Christian Bale? Wouldn't that be more obvious than the existing plot?

Been seeing hideous little non-apologies from ex-nft artists complaining about how their comment sections are still full of 'didn't they do nft's? ew!' Everyone knew what they were and why they were bad. You traded your rep with artists to get in with crypto turds, it's not something you get to fix.

In the unethical image-scraping universe we live in, I feel bad that I can't reference specific models-but my lifedrawing reference folder is a bad jumble from a dozen different sources- pinterest etc. Would work directly with models for an exhibition etc. but for studies it's maybe overkill?

nude lifedrawing study- best one of the evening I think

Does alt-text make sense for visual artists? Genuine question. I'm pro-accessibility but it feels like adding 'Beautiful hot elf dressed in purple playing a lüte' - to an image is somewhere between near-irrelevant for vision-impaired folks and making life much easier for AI scrapers.
