If a game has cozy vibes but can get pretty scary at night and in certain areas would you like it/play it? Trying to gauge players comfortability when cozy meets horror. Don't worry, there are safe places for you to avoid the scary.

Artists Be loud, be visible, be human, you'll find others who see the world the same way you do. There's a reason why being on an art path can often feel like a very lonely struggle. You are on a journey very few take beyond the initial first steps. 1/3
Fantastic overview of the artists perspective of generative AI and why most have been so opposed to it. youtu.be/pYACOHYidXY?...

Secrets to succeed in art. 1. Just do. Stop thinking & talking about it. Create! 2. Don't get demotivated by other people's art. Get inspired! 3. Build community not enemies. Motivate eachother! 4. Don't stop learning, improving or trying. Be determined! 5. Try to have fun!

It's very common for artists to doubt themselves, I'm constantly questioning & criticizing my abilities. It's important to perservere. Push through negative feelings, keep learning & improving. Don't stop creating. Acknowledge your accomplishments no matter how small & forgive your failures.
Are there any cool & creative projects you are working on in 2026? Please share! 😁
Merry Christmas Everyone! ❄️🦌 Lot's of great things coming for 2026, we made a lot of progress this year on the game, can't wait to share! 😌
Premium newsletter: Meta, Google, Amazon and Microsoft need $2 Trillion in AI revenue by 2030 or they've wasted their capex. The massive cost of building data centers and constant decay in value of expensive-to-run GPUs may make AI profits impossible to achieve. www.wheresyoured.at/big-tech-2tr/
Big Tech Needs $2 Trillion In AI Revenue By 2030 or They Wasted Their Capex
As I've established again and again, we are in an AI bubble, and no, I cannot tell you when the bubble will pop, because we're in the stupidest financial era since the great financial crisis — though,...

Every one of us helps shape society & culture NOT just the billionaires & corporations. Those creating are not the ones funding creators, creation comes from labor & those brave enough to bring their experiences, ideas, stories, history, emotions & perspective into reality. 1/2
My position -Gen AI & Llms are built on exploitation & theft of labor/data. -AI surveillance, military targetting & policing has high risk of misuse. -Lots of Enviro & energy issues. -AI Deepfakes, misinfo, bias, psychosis, scams & hallucination are not good. -AI regulations & safety are needed.
Justin Wolfers@justinwolfers.bsky.social · 10mo agoThere are basically only two positions in the debate about AI. 1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks. 2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational. Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

Hey all, I'd really like to get to know people in my following a little bit more. Would you mind writing me a little blurb in the comments about yourself. Your first name or handle is fine & just a little interesting fact about you, maybe a sample of work you do, or maybe a cute pic of your pet. 😁

One Piece has been such a special & beloved piece of fiction in our modern day. I've grown up with it as have many others. When I started seeing revolts flying the flag I worried some movements would twist the message of freedom to fit their narrative. He's team Emu not Luffy.🖕
BLEEDING HEARTS! My new creator owned book with @StipanMorian, Matt Hollingsworth (goat), Hassan Otsmane Elhaou (Nope), coming from VERTIGO COMICS! (that has a nice ring, doesn't it?) So...what it about? (6 page preview below)
This vid goes over the economy, how the average person doesn't matter to gdp. Why you aren't getting that raise you've been hoping for. How AI threatens labor & how there's no incentive for those in power to support UBI. Class consciousness is needed. youtu.be/T2OHjHPkUzM?...

It's never been more important than now to be aware of what is going on with AI, talk about it, share information & push back. Be human, don't abandone empathy & critical thinking. Goes over something I've been worried about for the past 3 years. youtu.be/77oSBNvfpr4?...

Hell yeah, new title drop 😎 "Legionnaires of the Antichrist" Sounds pretty metal 🤘
"It's innevitable." "Adapt or die." "Embrace it or get left behind." "The genie is out of the bottle." "It'll get better, just wait." "This is the worst it will ever be." These things are said to get you to believe/fear you don't have agency to resist, question & criticize.
Really good one to listen to. Michael as usual is always extremely well articulated in talking about the philosophy behind the current state of big tech & their partnership with the government. youtu.be/_spw4MnVsHw?...

I've noticed a huge uptick in game studio's hiring in the past few months, really curious what's going on as it's a big contrast to the last couple of years and many issues plaguing the industry hasn't seemed to have improved much. Anyone know what's up?
Watch it if you care about free media. There's been a capture happening that more people need to pay attention to. Not only is this dire for various media industries/workers but it's dangerous for those who consume media, free speech & democracy. youtu.be/V64TdrkhTqo?...
