If I blocked you on some platform here are some likely reasons: - you use slurs - you're a bigot - you shill genAI, crypto, etc. - you don't care about consent and agency - you're irritating - you're trying to scam me Multiple answers are possible. Hope this helps you diagnose the problem.

the mixtape releases → people get rightfully upset → it becomes opt-in → it dies completely pipeline happened a lot faster than I anticipated lol at least it led to some of the dumbest arguments for it I've ever seen made on twitch in its brief time of being "relevant", I guess that's impressive

it's kinda funny how saying "I'm all ears" makes perfect sense but if you say "I'm ears" it sounds like you're desperately trying to get a nickname even though it's just clearly never gonna happen

saying that "AI lets people do things they wouldn't otherwise be able to do" is a really perverse little linguistic slight of hand because not only is it *not* the person doing those things, but it's also actively detrimental to the person being able to do those things themselves in the future

I'm sorry, I'm sure GIMP is great or whatever, but it feels like I'm using software created by an alien, nothing makes sense to me

me, waiting at the bus stop, already seeing the bus approaching but acting as if I don't notice it or don't care about whether it's arriving cause I don't wanna be weird about it or anything

it's truly a time to be alive in the smw scene, never have I seen so much slop, entitlement, strawmanning, blatant lies and disregard both for stated wishes as well as actual legal bindings (only partially down to incompetency apparently), it's kind of incredible there's so much of this all at once

it's so fucking funny when a dweeb DMs you to say that you're spreading misinformation, then when you ask him to quote what part of what you said is wrong he refuses to elaborate, claims he was being polite and then on stream acts as if he said "stfu" instead of the meek ass shit he actually said

'the interview (aka unprofessionally asking questions to @torchkas.bsky.social and @underway.bsky.social) www.smwcentral.net?p=viewthread... #'the #coronationday

it's been exactly one year since we released 'the update and I I'm really happy people have been enjoying it, I'm certainly glad we made it and put it out into the world, though I also have to admit I miss working on it, still looking for something new to scratch the same itch, but it's been tough

been polishing my "anti-rom-modification" tool more over the weekend and decided to bump it to v1.0.0 since I likely won't touch it for a while now (except maybe bugfixes if necessary!) and consider it more or less complete, give it a try if you like ✂️ codeberg.org/underway/unw...

it's crazy how many people seem to think politeness is about tone and not what you're actually saying or doing, as if you can't be an asshole as long as your tone is "correct"

"ai has real productivity gains" the productivity gains: "with ai, we've been able to *quintuple* the number of lunar magic alternatives that get announced once and are never heard from again! without ai these numbers would be unreachable!"

made a little "anti-mixtape" tool called "unwind" for C3, check it out if you'd like, it's got knives and demons inside it smwc.me/t/133038

am I supposed to believe that T. Takemoto opted into mixtape? ngl, I have some doubts

the world must have been much scarier when they a) didn't know that we had blood in us and b) didn't know that it would also be ok to not have any in us cause you don't really need it for anything

great quote from modern museum staff I got to witness today: "too bad the artist is already dead so I can't kill him" said about a bunch of loudspeakers strapped to a heap of paper that make a really high pitched sound once every hour for one minute

great approachable read for anyone wondering what the hell I've been posting about recently

for a long time, i've wanted to make a website but put it off because i didn't have anything to say. now i do. mixtape: a postmortem shoujo.gay/mixtape-a-po...

"We are not using AI" Again with this bullshit? He even insists on saying they're not using AI when it has nothing to do with the conversation. They also conveniently removed the clearly LLM-written comments from the newest release and removed all old releases, surely not hiding anything there.

Grandpoobear@grandpoobear.bsky.social · 3w ago

I mean, is that not different? Isn't that been the argument? Nintendos games are different and don't deserve the same level of respect as rom hacks? Like legit isn't that different. We are not using AI U are opting into AI posting here too, and on yt, and on every other site for the record as well.

I need the vocalist of chat pile and northernlion to have a movie trivia face off, my guy was yapping about films between literally every song lmao

if I'm ever seen using windows and/or writing c++ or javascript again I'm having a crisis and intervention is a moral prerogative

just found out this nerd claimed on stream just a mere few hours ago that there were "blatant lies" made by people criticizing mixtape, so I want to bring this post up again and highlight the incredible hypocrisy here given that "No AI was used" is, in fact, a blatant lie

Grandpoobear@grandpoobear.bsky.social · 3w ago

No AI was used, I can opt you out real fast, as well with everyone, and we have credits everywhere including on the screen when playing, the title screens loading up, and the actual credits play after you beat the level. Just come to me with concerns next time.

shoutout to web devs, idk how yall stay alive year after year, I had to interface with javascript and the broader web ecosystem for a mere few hours today and rarely have I felt such profound frustration in my life

the entitlement and shortsightedness of "you released this for free, you have no right calling what I'm doing 'stealing'" from a big streamer who evidently doesn't give a shit about the wishes of people who create the things he wants to profit off of, pathetic stuff as usual

Grandpoobear@grandpoobear.bsky.social · 3w ago

No one is stealing your content that was put out for free to the public. People are consuming it. It can't be stolen, or sold, by anyone. I would push back on that personally.

seems like the same person who once made a tool that rips random levels from hacks to combine them into a single rom for streamers to profit off of while losing all intended context and removing the autonomy of authors is back on their bullshit, exciting! some people learn nothing

3blue1brown, hank green, who's next?

if you don't enter the bed by doing an action roll it's not gonna work for me

what's up with governments usually interpreting gender equality as a thing to be reached by fucking over more people rather than fucking over fewer people
