I had a fucking bizarre experience today. A thread 🧵 : So I like to listen to podcasts when I'm out biking, and I had run out of things to listen to, so I grabbed one I hadn't seen before that was about music theory, downloaded about thirty bite-sized 5-7 minute episodes, and away I went. (1/8)

Ahahahahaaaahahaha Check the thread for screenshots of the article. It confirms what we already knew: people like to pretend they made something when they in fact did not, and if they can't lie about the fact that the lying theft machine wrote their bad code, they start feeling uncomfortable

No but seriously any Reaper users with Lua or Python skills that I can throw money at to have some scripts written

Folks! Say I wanna buy a really wide LED monitor for my computer. I have been using the same two monitors for over a decade and I'd like more real estate. Say I want to sometimes have this wide monitor to act like it's actually two monitors (so I can have a browser window on one). Does that work?

Introducing a New Label for AI-Generated Artist Identities on Spotify — Spotify

Thank you everyone who followed me when Knytt Classic was released I'm still making games (I'm currently making a rhythm game about my dog). If you think it looks like a fun game, it would mean a lot to me if you wishlist it and let people know about it.

Rhythm Doggo on Steam

You wanted to play a video game and just got transformed into a dog! Rhythm Doggo is a classic platform adventure where you play as a dog and make music on the way. Can you go back to your human form?

No stream tonight I'm afraid! I am completely drained after a terrible week filled with pain and depression. I'll be back next week, fully rested and maybe even properly medicated for the first time in my life. Who knows?! Exciting times Take care of yourselves and one another. See you soon 🌻

I came first in the Clacton by-election! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Here is my victory speech!

The indie scene right now is awash with games that did not use generative AI to make the game BUT they use it ONLY for the banner image at the last minute. You literally get right up to the finish line and shoot yourself in the head? Like I'm not gonna buy your shit now dumbass lol

Just putting the final touches to my #pixelart point & click adventure comedy set in Victorian London. 🔍 Search "Heir of the Dog" on #Steam to add it to your wishlist. #indiegame #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegamedeveloper

Wrote a four skeet long anti-capitalist rant. Deleted it. I'm fucking tired. The rich hoard their obscene wealth, more money than they could possibly ever need, and the world burns to ash around them. Laws and rules do not apply to them. They have bought themselves out of the system.

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.

Actually feeling pretty good about my music today!

All the cool kids want nothing to do with the lying theft machine and history will not be kind to sloperators who embrace it

We added an extremely scary anti-AI Clause to our contracts at FateBound, and it has been amazing for scaring away bad actors.

Just went in and changed this - as you can see, this setting was ON BY DEFAULT (it is now turned off). Make 1000% sure that you have DISABLED this setting before you go live next.

www.twitch.tv/settings/sec... Making it real easy for you to click the above link, scroll down to the bottom and turn off 'Training for Generative AI' Literally insane that it's on by default, BUT please be respectful to the front-facing Twitch staff, many of who do NOT agree with this.

Jesus. Alright, if you were considering buying anything from Saber - don't. Spread the word and make sure they fail.

Videogame CEOs, consider the exciting opportunities afforded you by shutting the fuck up.

twitch users (not just streamers!) there's a setting in your account security settings you might want to check on had no idea it was there until it was brought to my attention today

as someone who's lacks much drawing ability, art is not an inherent thing some people can and can't do, it is just skill issue. you could learn if you put the time in. I could learn if I put the time in. I don't because I prefer to do other things, but I could choose otherwise.

Alright, two days of forced rest later, and I can now walk without risking falling over, and I trust myself to handle stairs. I... really have to learn how to pace myself so that never ever happens again.

I went on a 21 km bike ride this morning! Took me around 1 hour and 15 minutes. I'm still very, very out of shape, and my thighs are NOT happy with me, but I'm proud of myself for being consistent with my new exercise routine.

My translation of the 1999 PC game Buster Sword is FINALLY done! It's a bullet hell game where you can combine over 20 items to make over 7000 combinations of weapon types to fight enemys with! You can find this translation on a certain Romantic CD site or you can PM me for the DL link!

This is how I find out that one of the Halo composers is a right-wing shithead apparently

kate bush’s husband@airbagged.bsky.social · 5d ago

He just got kicked off a con appearance and he’s pretending like he doesn’t know why

Here's your opportunity to never buy this and make it very obvious to the devs why. Fuck this shit

Stella Sacco@antlervel.vet · 6d ago

I didn’t even see this had been announced. I was lead writer on this one! And Saber replaced me with ChatGPT midway through development. All the passenger voices were AI too. Either they changed direction at some point or they’re not disclosing it on Steam

If I had endless money I would just hire a developer to help me make this game. I can do it myself, eventually, I'm sure, but we may not see it until 2030 the way this is going

Hi friends! Today comes the big test on my stream. Can I make a new episode of my comic while talking to people? It's going to be interesting to find out. :D I stream at 20:00/8p.m CET at Twitch.tv/Emma_Heath_Hen
