Just trying to get by at this point

"The game should be free if it's shorter than 2 hours" No, devs deserve to earn money for their work still. If a short time means free, then the movie industry is screwed. "There's no point in releasing a game if it's under 2 hours" There's plenty of reasons, and they can still be fun to play.

Konami just released “Ganbare Goemon Dai Shugo” collection as part of the series’ 40th anniversary! www.konami.com/games/goemon/ … Out of unbelievable fortune, I did the main menu & credits music. Gotta say, as a Fil-Am, repping the most quintessentially Japanese game series is quite the honor🌸🎌🪈🥭

If you can't preserve games, and games can go away overnight, then your games are disposable. If entire studios can be wiped out overnight, your workers and their work are disposable. The crunch and the health injuries never mattered. Something's gotta change, man.

Every time I see AI all I see is "stealing has been revolutionary. You can just steal, I steal, and I'm excited to steal from you! Wait, you don't? You haven't tried stealing yet? Oh buddy it's revolutionary!! You can just take shit!! I mean it'll collapse the economy but it's quick and cheap"

Like, the fundamental thing with "AI" - it all starts with a massive and ongoing act of theft (or infringement, if you like). It's a few billionaire, or trillionaire, owned tech companies stealing everything we ever did then selling it back as a worse version of the work we all do.

It's a massive theft, a transfer, of wealth from the people who do the work, whether code or art, to the richest and worst people who exist. That's what I'll die mad about, even setting aside if the product of the tech is good or bad or useful or not.

Oh man the only thing this guy is generating is Ls Look at him backpeddling on his "apology" and making excuses. I say "apology" cos you're a buffoon if you thought that shit was sincere. "Its always easier to target one person than a company"... BOO FUCKING HOO, this fucking pondscum

"whatever, everyone already uses it anyway so it's fine" is just not really the message a sorry person promotes. I'm frustrated by how everyone just gave him the benefit of the doubt. I'm not feeling very forgiving when this is the messaging. I don't think I'm being unreasonable either

When they announced the project everyone was like "let him speak" and he said the mathematically worst words. Then he apologized and people were like "let him move on" and he doubled back I really don't care if he's sorry or just sorry he's getting grief but he's no friend of animation workers

My dear friend Jazz passed away on Sunday from cancer. He's one of the kindest souls I have ever met & I'm so grateful to have had his friendship. His best friend, Squishy, has created a GFM to help cover funeral expenses & for general financial support for Jazz's mom. If you're able, please donate.

My advice to young artists is that ESPECIALLY as a young artist you have so much to learn about yourself and the world and what you like about the process and what your favourite things are, and if you do a little bit of everything you will figure out what you love more than anything else
