you're just a tiny little person, so why not align with the rest of us instead of Sam Altman and mr. jackets on this one. we can actually make a difference if we have solidarity. don't use claude etc. on your creative coding and games projects.

i understand if people are pressured to use LLMs for work. you gotta eat, it's hierarchical, usage may be monitored, i get it. but if you bring that shit home it's different! that actually is a personal endorsement. you don't have to use your own projects to normalize unethical corporate projects.
I'm not being very productive, which could be due to sleep or thyroid. But what I can do is dick around on social media. So let's share again the starter packs I made of game devs who refuse to use gen AI in any capacity. Here you go: go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ
New on the Secret Area: I hate AI vibe coded game projects. Terrible machine translations! Barely functional recompilations! It's a hot mess, y'all. Shares and comments appreciated, as always. asecretarea.com/2026/08/10/a...
AI vibe coded game projects suck. - You Found a Secret Area!
Time for me to rant about the current trend: AI vibe coded gaming projects. Lazy translations! Vibe coded recompilations! It's all here, y'all.

Hey Chat, super serious MA request for myself. I've been unable to work for most of the last year, which has left my nesting partner to pay for everything. We're behind on rent. . Rent past due is $1330. If you'd like to, anything helps. Please share. Links below.
"Ask GPT." Sure, if "GPT" stands for Gays, Polyamorists, and Trans folks.
The jump rope minigame in the first WarioWare had these wild tempo shifts and I always loved how wonky the music sounded as a result. It definitely inspired this track I made in 2014.
I was really cooking in 2013 with this. There's an extra 8th note inserted into the beat between every 2nd and 3rd bar because it just felt right. Those unexpected choices are one of my favorite things when making music. I have no idea how it sounds to other people.

you should keep around copies of the posts or interactions that make you happy. because those aren't disposable. they can work more than once.
This "ai code/art is already everywhere and impossible to avoid so you should just relax about people using it" shit has to stop, it's not remotely true. Same exact shit as "it's the inevitable future!" or "you can't put the genie back in the bottle!!" We can literally do whatever the fuck we want
My favorite challenges in coding have come from making games. I love going in head-first, even when I know it's something that has surely been written about plenty, and even when I know I'll come up with a pattern that already exists. Any use of AI means diminishing that which I enjoy so much.
Saralene (Sara Leen) 💫🐈@saralene.tv · 3mo agoSeeing people talk about genAI use in video games and being like "Well it's fine if it's just coding" No, absolutely not. You do not encroach upon my field and decide it's okay just because you think it's less artistic somehow. Video game code is art too. Way more than it's science, even.
you didn’t need an AI to make crazy taxi in 1999 why the fuck do you need one now
if you are someone who makes anything, anything at all, with your own real brain and hands, I respect you so so much and am begging you to keep doing it.
decades of software engineering without it but now every fucking job listing is all "you'll be working on AI" or "we require you to have experience using AI toolchains" or "we'll ask you how you use AI in your workflow" and i just want to scream
I need to see people supporting Trans people right now. Repost this if you do. Trans Rights are Human Rights.

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

It is actually alarming that only one person I follow is currently following izzy. Like most of the times I look at a cool account and see a lot of people I follow are already following it. Right now that's only @quackles.bsky.social and it should be a lot more!

Hey, do me a favor. If you support Trans people and oppose the current US regime's attempt to hurt us, like and repost this. My hopes are that a Trans person who needs support will see this and feel it. Thank you.
