Wren, 32, 🜔 (they/them), I am a Maker of Many Things! My Carrd: https://dragonmarquise.carrd.co/ Some Things I Like: #bombrushcyberfunk #megamanbattlenetwork #thelegendofzelda #pokemon #digimon #klonoa Some posts I make/share may be rarely NSFW, jsyk!

People are so Capitalism-pilled that they see "user number big" as preferable + a reason Bluesky is "lesser" than other social media. But consider this: I don't want to be in a bigger, angrier, shittier crowd of people. I want to be in the smaller, curated, better behaved and more loyal crowd.

Sound effects are created using "BFXR", a tool I stumbled across ages ago. It can create a random sound that you can then adjust as you see fit before saving it out as a wav file. (Available on Itch io)

Music is created using 1BitDragon, a simple drag-and-drop tool. It's perfect if you have an ear for music but zero ability to PLAY. Just more the notes where they need to be. (Available on both Itch io and Steam)

As I've been asked a few times: these are the tools I use to build my games. The engine used is "Clickteam Fusion 2.5". I've been using various incarnations of the software since 1994, with "Klik & Play". The familiarity I have with the engine is why I've stuck with it.

🚨PSA For Twitch Streamers Moving to YouTube! YT has (unfortunately) automatically enrolled creators in AI features for over a year and you must turn off MULTIPLE settings in YT Studio to avoid it! ➡️Under Advanced Channel Settings, make sure to turn off AI Training, AI Dubbing, + AI Enhancements!

During the panel this app called Foxglove was mentioned. Similarly to Glaze and Nightshade it poison your art for scrapers, with the advantage that you don’t have to download a program locally to do that and the process is super quick online. foxgloveapp.com

Foxglove - Beautiful to humans. Poison for machines.

Poison your art for AI before you post. Strip metadata, embed hidden messages, disrupt AI training. Everything runs on your device.

Saber finally added the AI disclosure to Steam for Rideshare “Stimulator” and it’s even worse than I said it was. I can see why the CEO crashed out when I pointed it out.

Al Generated Content Disclosure
The developers describe how their game uses Al

Generated Content like this:
The main Campaign story, characters, and dialogue are written by a team of human writers. Al tools are used for voice generation and some localization.

The optional Free Ride mode includes Al-generated passenger missions and localized dialogue. Free Ride mode is separate from the main Campaign and can be skipped by players who prefer to experience only human-written narrative content.

The game also includes a mix of radio stations featuring human-made music and Al-generated music. Stations containing Al-generated music are clearly labeled as such in the game.

On SUNDAY THE 16th I will turn 33. To celebrate, I'll be playing L4D2 & TF2 with my friends (as well as looking at your birthday wishes that Pochi collected!) I'll also have special event badges for those that support me during the stream. ONE TIME ONLY! DON'T MISS IT! www.twitch.tv/mastergir

This video legit rules. Guy bought himself a duplicator and 6000 blank discs off the open market and said, "Fuck you, I decide when physical discs goes extinct and it ain't now." I'm telling ya, guys, we gotta crack the code on burning PS2+ discs that'll work on any console and make games ours. 😌

Discs! And learning the lost art of doing small-time production runs making them! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_9C...

thinking about the popularity of so many "redraw trends" and plagiarism of compositions by all sorts of artists (it comes up often for gposing but 2D artists do it too). i have to sum up my discomfort with it as follows: it's artists treating other artists the same way A/I treats art as data
