Thaddeus Psarris @thaddeus-psarris.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Artists and audiences now have to swim through oceans of slop to find each other, which sucks. Sucks hard. But it’s a war worth fighting, because art and joy and beauty are still possible, and those who can’t understand them are doomed to failure with or without our opposition. 010
Thaddeus Psarris @thaddeus-psarris.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Genuine craft and understanding will obliterate LLM’s answer shaped nonsense any day. They can flood the zone with shit, but I sincerely believe their art will never outshine us; 10,000 careful decisions from a human will always hit better than a few prompts into a prediction machine. 240
Thaddeus Psarris @thaddeus-psarris.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I have to believe that actual quality and connection will eventually win out. AI is low effort wearing the skin of high effort, as they say. We’re drowning in dreary slop, but the faith I cling to is that humans will one way or the other fight through it to find each other. 161

Thaddeus Psarris @thaddeus-psarris.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Seems like a ‘succeeded at its goals, but the goals sucked’ vs ‘goals may have been good, but it failed miserably to hit them’. Calling a game terrible but interesting communicates that there’s fun to be had frolicking in a train wreck 110

Thaddeus Psarris @thaddeus-psarris.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I remember you posting through learning Unreal and celebrating lots of advantages to Unity. I’m using Godot, graduated from Gamemaker, and I worry that Godot is teaching me 3D engine stuff and Unreal is the final destination. Good to hear the grass here really is very green 010

Thaddeus Psarris @thaddeus-psarris.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Ok wait but hang on, my understanding is that LLM’s can’t ’write’ code at all; they only copy-paste and mix code from their training data. An ‘intelligent’ entity capable of writing code can tackle a novel problem nobody’s ever done before, LLMs are just search engines for copying stolen code 110

Thaddeus Psarris @thaddeus-psarris.bsky.social · 30/03/2026The Recall card repeats the last card played, and whatever it's currently copying is displayed in its art. Because the metal and stone shaders use the same textures, I can make Recall display any other card's art by just plugging in that other card's textures 000
Thaddeus Psarris @thaddeus-psarris.bsky.social · 30/03/2026For every card, I make a color and a normals render of the character, then draw lineart in procreate. I also make a depth map of the render and use it to sculpt a high-poly card, then bake its normals. All of these maps are put into the shader, and bam! You're in business. The final shader is 2D. 110
