And once again, if you don't have money to pay for the Patreon, that's totally fine and I'm able to gift you with 3 months for free for you to try it out! Artists are the driving force of Bluesky and I want to build the definitive tool for you!

And in case you didn't know from my frequent reposts about it: I'm one of the few developers here against Generative AI and every type of it; this feature was built by my own fingers in the keyboard for the past month. Let's keep Bluesky the definitive way of finding amazing artists!

Fields of Mistria is launching fully into 1.0 tomorrow!!! I'm so proud of the team for not only making a game happen (impossible task) but also making it one of the best games ever (great news for me AND you!!)

Not to soap box about this but i feel that ppl in the english indie comics space should hear it: creating doujinshi/self published comics without the stamp of a prestigious fair or an indie publisher does not make you any less of a comic artist. drawing comics makes you a comic artist.

it's kind of funny how early wikipedia was strongly dismissed as an unreliable source for research despite being pretty good if you could parse sources and citations and now we have a homunculus that actually fabricates incorrect unverifiable info and makes up sources and people take it seriously

Omg not Hank Green using AI for research and calling to his “bad habit” 💀😭🤡

Sorry I've been quiet lately, been taking on more work at the dayjob but also focusing on art in my very few hours of free time instead of socmed believe in the process, trust 😤

Valuing your hand crafted art (writing, knitting, cooking, woodworking, etc) and then using generated imagery around it and proudly declaring that you used AI to make it feels bad! Like you only value the hand crafted nature of one thing? The rest doesn’t matter! Weird!

The only thing I can return to whenever someone popular disappoints or worse is to not avoid liking something or someone, but to never define yourself by or create a whole existence around them or it

“why can’t you just figure out how to ship to x country >:(((“ do you want me to rewrite international border laws and shipping regulations. what do you want me to do

It's so disappointing. It makes me question all kinds of things about how people value art that I'm not fully able to put into words, but it scars something deep inside my soul. And SO many places do this now. It's like seeing a sign on every corner that just says "I hate you" over and over again.
