Currently about halfway through replaying Final Fantasy VII Remake. This is without a doubt the absolute worst aspect of this game:

okay but, this is the way we fight AI in everyday life we need to foster an atmosphere of disgust and repulsion of AI, like AI is like seeing a roach in a google review. Get up and leave the restaurant. "um, I just saw some AI stuff, I just... I dunno, it's gross haha. I'm good. thanks. Thank you"

jess m. 🌤️@jametc.bsky.social · 22h ago

we need to be normies about this and be like "EEEWW... IS THAT AI? THAT'S SO GROSS.... EW IT LOOKS SO GROSS (gag noise) UM, LET'S GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. EW LOL" normalize being outwardly repulsed by it physically

What can you do? CALL. WRITE. SCREAM. The bill is up for a vote THIS WEDNESDAY. Call your Senator. Dem. Republican. Whomever. Right now, it's a solid R bill, but they're looking for Dems to take it across the finish line. Let them know how badly it stinks. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/screen/

let's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?

I'm gonna say it; If you still defend the Harry Potter IP at this point, you are *garbage*. The information has been out there for years, there's NO REASON for you to still be feeding into the machine that is trying to erase your trans siblings.

They don't call him Jumpman for nothing.

In Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, green trampolines make Mario jump so high he goes offscreen for 6 seconds. By extracting his position values from the code, we can "zoom out" the stage and visualize his actual arc, which reveals just how absurdly high the jump is.

Be sure to check it out! There are 3 possible endings. Can you get the best one? And if you participated in the jam, be sure to rate it on the submission page! ----------------------------------------------- itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam... #Artistonbluesky #artsky #Gamedev #Indiedev #GMTKJam #GMTKJam2026

LinkedIn added an "AI slop" button. The U-Turn is happening, expect to see a lot more of this from other tech companies.

guy who understands that count chocula is so named because he eats chocolate, and reverse-engineers that he's based on a vampire called 'count bloodula'

I also did all the in-game pieces that appear when examining the art on the wall. My favorite is definitely the skull; there's a reason I used it for the game's cover art! #Artistonbluesky #artsky #Gamedev #Indiedev #GMTKJam #GMTKJam2026

There are a few easter eggs for close friends. All in all, I had a really fun time working on this project. It was exhausting, but important to learn to work with a strict deadline and stop chasing perfection. #Artistonbluesky #artsky #Gamedev #Indiedev #GMTKJam #GMTKJam2026

I'm really happy with the artwork. I don't consider myself that great of an artist, especially when it comes to more simplified gestural drawings, but I think the style works well, especially for being made in 4 days. #Artistonbluesky #artsky #Gamedev #Indiedev #GMTKJam #GMTKJam2026

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

I feel like people have forgotten that ad blockers weren't popular because people just wanted to get something for free, it's because we can't trust ads not to fuck up our computers. If we still just had quiet simple banner ads or sideboard ads, ad blockers wouldn't have gotten as much traction.

Remember when Family Guy used NES gameplay footage from some Youtube videos for a gag and then Fox copyright claimed the original videos? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

A24 is issuing takedowns for all sorts of backrooms content on social media, as well as merch elsewhere right now, that have nothing to do with the movie. I feel like a lot of people were afraid this would happen. They just... own the backrooms concept now I guess. Frustrating
