“Trans men have male Privilege” - The claim also completely ignores all the trans men who aren’t stealth or can’t “pass”, and trans men and mascs who don’t want to conform to how society thinks men “are supposed to look” (whatever that’s supposed to mean) #transmen #transcomic

As a not-so-friendly reminder: Restory is, at the least, being marketed with GenAI slop. There is Zero Excuse for this and the game does not disclose ANY GenAI use in violation of the Steam TOS.
Yeah, @tinybuildgames.bsky.social and the devs for Restory are just showing they can't be trusted to properly disclose genAI. If you delete threads and ban posters after admitting they were right, you are a fundamentally bad faith actor that is upset you were caught.
The original thread talking about the genAI use has now been removed from the forums as far as I can tell. They banned the poster of the thread for bringing it up again. Yeah, nope, don't trust them anymore.
This is the same old "you can't solve weightlifting with a forklift" thing that happens again and again with current consumer uses of AI: the point of reading a book is not to finish the book easily, it's to READ the book, especially if the book asks you to do something that feels difficult
Axios writer: I melted my brain with AI. Not only can I no longer read, but I don't even understand the purpose of reading anymore. Here's how you can also do this. www.axios.com/2026/08/11/r...
Be warned guys - PayPal changed where you could specify to NOT use their currency conversion to hide it better. Be careful when you check out!
I don't think the term "friendslop" is good because "slop" suggests that the game is cheaply made or low quality. But the reality is that these 5 dollar "friendslop" games are very well made and they are fun. In a time where video games cost 80 dollars I think this is very good value for money.
Here's the thing. If I know/notice genAI used in any part of your project, no matter how small, I will assume you used it for all of it, and I won't be interested at all. Why should I care if you don't?
Seeing writers use AI to make “book covers” is so disappointing. Where is the professional respect?
Except... The Purge was not an absurd premise? It was real, and really happened. The real life version of the purge wasn't one night a year. It was every single night. Again, a lot of dystopian horror is just "What if someone treated us the way we treated Black people?"
The Purge is fictional, and is just one day a year. But sundown towns are real, and the free license to murder and commit other atrocities was available every night of the year. Every. Night. In case it's not on the nose enough, The Purge trailer even uses a sundown town siren.🤡
I don't want to be mean but y'all gotta stop using the word degenerate. Get the Nazi words outta your life, don't buy into that worldview even a bit.
this is why we cant have nice things pay your artists, pay your craftsmen
I really dislike how uppity people can act over how others enjoy games. No one is forced to play/watch any speedrun, challenge run, achievement hunt, glitch hunt, or competitive match. Acting like your day is ruined over the existence of these things is just weirdly dramatic.
Normalize telling convention staff each and every time we find a vendor selling AI anything. Make it clear it bothers you and that it’s considered art theft. Either more cons will learn to cut the rot out & foster a better creative space for our communities, or we learn which cons can’t be trusted.
I've been actively calling out people using AI in public, and just embarrassing them. "Oh you used AI for your banner? Man, I guess if you're that cheap with that, your products must be cheap too huh?"
I didn’t paint and attach thousands of individual popcorns to model trees just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”
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”.
This is Bella. She joined her mom at the gym and figured she'd get a workout in too. Went and got her own mat and everything. 13/10 (IG: alicianicole873)
JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.
Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

many of my favourite games were made using free asset packs, stock RPG maker assets, stuff bought off asset stores. If you abandon caring about the process and just AIgen garbage, people will know - not just because of how it looks, but because your lack of interest in your own work will be evident
"But as a solo dev--" You must learn the power of your own limitations. If your art is crap, either get better at art, figure out a way to make its crappiness look intentional, or ask for help.

Dario, as always, has a well thought out and nuanced response that's worth reading.
Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.
I know most of everyone on here couldn't care less about Electronic Arts products, but now you can care EVEN LESS THAN THAT
EA is now owned by Saudi Arabia and Donald Trump's son-in-law
The vibe coded recomps are scary to me because more and more people are spreading them around before they can be properly investigated. It's only a matter of time before malware is put into one of these disguising itself as a mario 3 recomp and making headlines.
Some great new reaction images to use when people are obtuse on BlueSky.
This is one of my favorite paintings and it currently doesnt exsist on the internet. Its in a private collection so you cant see it in a museum and its impossible to get a print of. Ive had it saved to my phone for years from the original French auction site listing that no longer exists.
