marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Billions of years of evolution to arrive at the incredible network of complex biological and chemical mechanisms working in tandem in my brain to give me consciousness, only for my will to live to be solely determined by whether or not a bunch of guys in ice skates can get a rubber puck into a net 1313
marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 06/04/2026I didnt think that any actual game devs would repost the video of my tool so now I'm embarrassed at the thought that some of them are clicking through to my profile expecting to see more game dev and instead it's wall-to-wall gay porn 4570
marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 18/03/2026The first cup of coffee is so vital that I don't even realize that I'm drinking it, I lift the mug to my lips and feel the horrible pang of loss without any warning 2240
marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Bro seriously. industrial piercing I got like 7 or 8 years ago STILL gives me trouble every now and then 110

marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 19/02/2026None of the brushes really work how I'm used to them working because I suppose now they're working "correctly" but even being unused to them, it's still so much better. Like I can blend colors with a hard brush now just by easing off with the pen pressure, no more opacity fiddling 090
marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 19/02/2026I've used the wacom intuos medium for 6ish years now and I hadn't let the drivers update in years. I finally decided to let it update today, and this is the one time being reticent about updating software was actually fucking me over, it's like night and day, everything works so much better now 1120
marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 17/02/2026Ignoring signs of burnout and committing to drawing my ass off because this move is gonna be expensive and I need the cash 🤪👍 1180
marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Yeah, sorry I have all comments turned off on all posts made from this account (unless its from someone I know personally). It was frustrating me seeing people using these things and doing literally no research into whether or not they were accurate (was not surprised to learn they're inaccurate) 000
marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 05/02/2026I can't believe my smile has been from faceApp all along 😭 0220

marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 05/02/2026One final one so no one can be like "you generated the smiley face" (which would be insane but, lmao, some people online are like this) Here is me drawing a smiley 11164
marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Good news: You can do it yourself. If you zoom in, are there weird artifacts that defy explanation? Has the artist ever shown themselves coloring? Do they ever show progress shots or sketches or lineart versions of their work before it's completed? Use your eyes, use your brain, ditch the tools 221845
marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 05/02/2026I understand wanting to have some surefire way to know if something was made by a person or not, but there's a miserable irony in people turning to an ai tool (that trains on the stuff you feed into it, by the way!) to tell them whether or not something is ai, only for it to be bad at its job 124358
marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Next I thought maybe it's just unfairly hating on my smiley face, so I drew a heart with a single line - surely it's not going to think there's almost a 1/3rd chance that line is AI- ah dangit 114115
marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Yikes! 3 lines drawn in the span of 2 seconds and the "accurate" detector is saying it's likely to contain ai content. At this point I was curious to see just how bad this thing is at its job, so I used some other default photoshop CS6 functions on the smiley to see what happened (see alt text) 117427
marccus @rnarccus.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Kind of an awkward PSA because I've had some artist mutuals recommend these sites/tools, but "ai image detection" tools are snake oil, and I feel like nobody bothered to scrutinize them. So I opened photoshop cs6, drew a smiley face, and uploaded it to the "accurate" detector: 226031389

Reposted by marccusAK Faulkner 🔜 NYCC @ravenswordpress.com · 25/09/2025The homogenisation and consolidation of buisinesses and brands has led to the erosion of the midlist, the indie movie or band or comic. There's a real sense of "I'll only try media that's already popular / famous," and I'm begging you to look for the weird shit, the experimental, the niche. 211237432
