One of these two candidates for UK public office is a complete joke. The other has a bin for a face.
Word of mouth is basically the only way small team projects can gain any traction. People hate ads with a passion, and ignore creators when they pitch their own work. But people will give something a chance when a person they know says they like something
Casey Explosion@caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 3d ago"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!
Twitch's "Allow your channel content to train generative AI models" setting is here and on by default. Go turn that shit off, streamer!! The toggle is under your Settings, then 'Security and Privacy'
I can never escape him...

Kenny Meyers@kennym.bsky.social · 3d agoWebtoons going all in on AI.
I'd recommend to anyone with a webcomic to just get their own website if you can. The online landscape changes so fast in its ability to dick over small artists that having your own pernament base that's known to your audience is important.

Your occasional reminder that there are places to do this for free or minimal $$. Neocities, for one, is currently great for this. I personally use the code provided by rarebit.neocities.org for all of my comics. Cartoonist Coop also has great resources like this vid: youtu.be/cMuKaDJ5rq0?...

Zach Clemente@clementeworks.com · 2d agoShit like this is why "never sign a deal with webtoon, host your own webcomic" has landed in my top 5 pieces of advice for young artists
Additional context: the "grave" site is an ecologically significant area fans keep littering trash in. But I guess fans stopped them from building in that specific area, so they can keep trashing it instead?
Petra Erika Nordlund@pepurika.bsky.social · 3d agoARE YOU KIDDING MEEEE
Might as well post it here! A magical girl animation I've been slowly chipping at over the weekends for ages.
my pithy way of putting it: Every piece of art you love exists *despite* a corporation, not because of it
✪ A Somber Birthday Gray in Late August ✪@jongraywb.blacksky.app · 2y agoDisney is not your friend. Disney has never been your friend. Disney will never be your friend. The Moon Girl thing was not a one-off, nor was Gravity Falls, nor was Owl House, nor was the disaster that was Strange World Every year at & around Pride, Disney wants LGBTQ money but yearly they do this
And on top of that, they were all focused on people of color Trans poc, especially trans black people, rarely get any representation in media at all, let alone children's media. So taking that away is a huge slap to the face.
ToonHive@toonhive.bsky.social · 5d agoDisney has now shelved three episodes featuring storylines centered on transgender characters and gender identity. The episodes, from ‘Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur,’ ‘The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder,’ and ‘Win or Lose,’ were either cut from release or have since leaked online.
Also just reminds me once again of this Miyazaki banger
I didn’t paint and attach thousands of individual popcorns to model trees just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”
Jason Song Quinn (Comms Open)@hulkhoquinn.bsky.social · last wk.Jim Henson didn’t muppeteer a tiny green frog that was singing and playing the banjo, with rubber gloves while totally submerged underwater in a airtight aluminum tank just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”.
I held off watching Cybersix for years cause I knew I'd like it too much.. it finally happened #cybersix
Yeah honestly if you considered doing this, it’s scab behavior. If we ALL aren’t against it, shit like this will continue to happen. We need to slam this door closed.
ToonHive@toonhive.bsky.social · last wk.Netflix is facing backlash after seeking storyboard artists who use generative AI tools for upcoming animated projects.
