Create. Love. Resist. Using your own hands to create something is an act of resistance. Making mistakes and learning from them is part of the creative process and one of my favorite parts about being human (and being an educator). I'm in my feels recently, y'all, so #FuckGenAI - now and forever.
part of why I don't like AI is bc it's so often the antithesis of caring for the little things, the appreciation of the mundane, of seeing beauty where others haven't yet been able to, and seeking genuine fundamental understanding all in the name of "get product faster" I find it so disheartening
What if I told you that all of the Publishing Agreements I have reviewed in the last 6 months (several dozen) included a no gen AI provision, wherein the use of gen AI in development is a material breach, but companies like Epic and EA are still trying to convince us the industry is cool with it
Austin Wood@woodwould.bsky.social ยท 2mo agoHe's only gone and written 2,500 more words about how game devs feel about generative AI. Latest piece quotes around two dozen different people with an indie background. When asked how they feel about gen AI, not one, but two devs responded, "Fuck that shit." www.gamesradar.com/games/it-cre...
Who else thinks Pokopia may be their game of the year? This game made me fall in love with so many Pokรฉmon, Ditto the most of all. So I designed a crochet pattern for everyone to make him! Download it for free here: ko-fi.com/s/3f77331152
Need to gather everyone up and remind folks that consumers of creative works do not get to force the creators of said works to do things exactly as THEY want. Nobody is forcing you to engage with it! In an age where we are INUNDATED with media to consume I assure you youโll find something else! ๐ญ
if you see me at SDCC and ask for one of these i will give you one
I want to inject Elle's monologue in Charlie's bedroom directly into my veins, and scream it from the rooftops, and make every human on the planet watch it.

Every selfie I take I'm normally not smiling, because I always think I look strange with a fake/forced smile. But y'all bring out the best in me and I was able to capture a natural smile today, so it felt like I should share.
At the market I did over the weekend, someone commissioned me for a nonbinary-themed frog and I had to add the flag for my own special touch. But, I simply drove the pipe cleaner into the arm, so it's definitely giving:
Back from the market of my dreams, with lots of stories to tell! Stop by and be productive? twitch.tv/rettoto
Come see these cuties in their natural habitat! Crochet a gay dinosaur this morning, also. twitch.tv/rettoto
btw bisexual women are allowed to date men and bisexual men are allowed to date women and it doesnโt make them any less bisexual. thank u
One of my mods got these two screenshots of me and I can't stop smiling at the joy I see. You grow up queer without spaces made for you, you start to convince yourself you don't deserve them. But then you carve one out for yourself and build a vibrant and loving community within it. That's joy.
First stream of the week and with a market on Saturday, I am full speed ahead! You've never seen fingers crochet this fast. twitch.tv/rettoto
Morning walk in 92% humidity meant I had to change my whole outfit upon getting home ~ but we're live and thriving and working on the best lil guy around this morning, Sherma! twitch.tv/rettoto
The knight has been captured and taken to prison and it's our job to find (crochet) his cloak and reunite them! Stop by for some crochet and chat's and Mina the Hollower later. twitch.tv/rettoto
Beat 007 First Light last night, so I think it's time for me to try tackling Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth again. Let's see if I can finish it this time!
I finished crocheting a GIANT Hornet yesterday, so today we're starting the Knight/Ghost from Hollow Knight. Both patterns available for free over on my Ko-fi. Come say hi? twitch.tv/rettoto
Working on crocheting my favorite Hollow Knight characters all morning before getting into more Mina the Hollower! ๐ญ If you need a place to hang out this morning while you work, game, workout, chill, etc, I think you may like it here. ๐ฅฐ twitch.tv/rettoto
