Leko The Robot

If I had a nickel for every story world that was revealed to be inside the body of a giant, dying godlike being that needed to be revived by the protagonist(s) AND was inspired by the creator undergoing a real life medical procedure... Two. Fucking. Nickels.

I'm sorry, unnamed Pantoran bartender. I would dearly love to write 3 or 4 more pages of banter with you, but I have a plot to advance and a protagonist to eventually traumatize. Editor Leko says I have to let you go, and he's very loud about it. #Fanfic #FanFiction #StarWars #OC #Writing

Oh, fun times. I can put all my links in my profile now. Which means I can pin something else if I want. What ever shall I deem worthy of permanent placement at the top of my feed...?

I do love when a site gets shitty and someone's like "fuck you, I'll make my own without all your shitty bits," and then they just do it. Can someone make a new DeviantArt? Cara's great, but it takes more after ArtStation. More formal and professional. I kinda miss the chaotic, weird vibes.

Maybe I'll ruin the fun and just post the only one who DOES.

Well, figure I've got pretty much nothing to lose jumping ship from Twitch and giving this up-and-coming AltStream platform a shot. I usually play a horror game around Halloween time, so maybe that'll be my inaugural stream here. #streaming #stream #gaming #AltStream altstream.online/cs_leko

Passing 4k words for chapter 2. It was supposed to be a shorter one, dammit. NOW I have trouble being concise and direct!?

Don't start coming up with backstory for the one-scene bartender. Don't start coming up with backstory for the one-scene bartender. Don't start coming up with backstory for the one-scene bartender. And DON'T give him a goddamn name!

[DARK TOWER BOOK 7 SPOILERS] Did I really model and render a whole-ass scene just for a stupid meme to cope with getting to *that* part of the book? Yes. I do things like that sometimes. #TheDarkTower #Roland #Gunslinger #StephenKing #Meme #Blender #Books #Spoilers #BreakingBad #Hank

Twitter when a Russian data center gets blown up:

Bluesky: “Oh, you liked that one drawing of a character in a moderately skimpy outfit, huh? Well I bet you’ll just love ALL THIS ACTUAL PORN!” I mean, yeah. BUT NOT IN MY DAMN MAIN’S DISCOVER FEED, PLEASE.

Machine Learning: Good. Solves problems. Does tedious things humans don’t want to do. Does them much faster. Generative AI: Bad. Chews up human-made creative work and vomits it out so lazy, talentless scumbags can lie and scam people. #FuckAI

Fuck the Robot. Please do not.

Dammit, Pixar. Really gonna need you guys to miss with Toy Story at some point so I can stop being wrong and feeling like a contrarian jackass for assuming the next one can’t possibly be any good.

Oops. There I go just making her me again. I mean... What? #StarWars #FanFic #FanFiction #Writing #BountyHunter #OC #Tailii #OriginalCharacter #AurraSing #CadBane #JangoFett #BobaFett #Mandalorian

What the HELL!? I think I'm already back to the chapter where I left off all those years ago. I WAS ALMOST HALF WAY THROUGH THE GODDAMN BOOK!? THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT! BRAIN, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!? I DON'T REMEMBER *ANY* OF THIS! #StephenKing #TheDarkTower #Books #SongOfSusannah

Forgot what a quick read Wolves of the Calla was. Blazed through it in just a couple weeks! Now comes the MOMENT OF TRUTH: Can I make it through Song of Susannah this time without getting distracted and cursed with another ten year reader’s block? #reading #stephenking #thedarktower #books #ka

Every story you hear about a language model "going rogue" and "hacking" is marketing bullshit. Literally all they do is regurgitate words to try and sound human. If an LLM is hacking, it's because it was given access and told to do something so the companies can act surprised. #FuckAI

Definitely having normal thoughts about that new Metroid thing. Totally normal. It sure does look like a normal game featuring a character I like a completely normal amount.

It's a placeholder. It's not SUPPOSED to look good. Also isn't it kinda fun to have an excuse to draw badly on purpose? There are literally SO MANY reasons not to use generative AI. Just don't do it. Art is for humans. #FuckAI #AntiAI #GameDev #SupportHumanArtists

If you need placeholders, DRAW CRAPPY STICK FIGURES IN MSPAINT. Don't use AI. Shitty placeholders stand out. I guarantee you will not forget to replace them with final assets later. If the AI-generated shit fits in too well, you WILL forget it's a placeholder, and people WILL get mad at you for it.

If you have to answer the AI disclosure with anything other than “NONE WAS EVER USED,” I don’t want your game. I don’t care what you used it for, at which stage, or if any of it is in the final product. Your project is tainted, it’s off the wishlist, and I’m telling my friends. #FuckAI #Gaming

This IS something that's always bugged me about morality systems. It's not fun being "evil" when it just translates to "be an irredeemable dick for no reason." Dark Leko doesn't join the assholes bullying the alien. He grabs the leader by the throat and throws him off the overpass.

The lie and plagiarism machines have gone down? Brain, generate a sarcastic response that feigns sympathy.

At this point I don’t even care how much it would screw up the ecosystem, I need ALL mosquitoes to just fucking DIE ALREADY.

So @kelto-eboroth.bsky.social is a NSFW alt account I intended to keep strictly separate from my main. It was compromised this morning and used to send out spam, so I have to drop the "that's not me" charade to warn people. I've secured it, but don't answer any DMs from the pervy evil wizard. #PSA

OKAY. I'M PULLING THE TRIGGER. IT'S LIVE. IT'S OUT THERE. NO BACKSIES. KENOBI TAKE THE WHEEL. archiveofourown.org/works/914301... #StarWars #FanFic #FanFiction #AO3 #Writing #Pirates #Adventure #SFW #Empire #OC #OriginalCharacter #Tailii #FlightOfTheMagpie

*Sigh* Yeah. Okay. Sure. Why not. #AO3 #Fanfiction #StarWars #Mandalorian

Goddammit, why didn't anyone warn me AO3's formatting was such a clusterfuck?

I'M NOT PROCRASTINATING, I SWEAR. HEY LOOK A DISTRACTION. ... Okay, it's just Zan. (Is it still "Clone Wars Style" when they're using it for like everything else now?) #OC #OCArt #Art #Blender #StarWars #BountyHunter #Mirialan #FanFic #OriginalCharacter #CloneWars

y'know, "squish it, skew it, turn it all around" actually does a LOT for this logo. Also made a few other layout adjustments and threw in some TIEs to take up some of the empty space. #Art #OC #Blender #StarWars #FanFic #Writing #OCArt #3DModel #Tailii #OriginalCharacter #GraphicDesign #Logo

We have a title. Did something clever with the logo and I don't think most folks will appreciate it. Also scrolled through so many fonts that "Magpie" no longer looks like a real word. #Art #OC #Blender #StarWars #FanFic #Writing #OCArt #3DModel #Tailii #OriginalCharacter #GraphicDesign #Logo

I mean it's cool and all, brain, but why did we work on this all day instead of actually finishing up the first chapter? #Art #OC #Blender #StarWars #FanFic #FanFiction #Writing #OCArt #3DModel #Tailii #OriginalCharacter

It has come to my attention that 6,000+ words is indeed a lot. TIME TO MAKE SOME CUTS. SORRY, DARLINGS, BUT YOU'RE BLOATING THE CHAPTER. #fanfiction #fanfic #writing #starwars #oc #editing

Holy crap, I actually finished writing a chapter. Is 6,000 words a lot? It feels like a lot. Also I never thought about what I'm actually going to call this damn thing... #fanfiction #fanfic #writing #starwars #oc

OH SHIT TODAY WAS BIONICLE DAY. WHY DID I DRAW A POKÉMON THING?

Writing down a neat game idea that suddenly hit me. Went from zero to scope creep in ten minutes. Fun.

ABSOLUTELY THE ENTIRE FUCK NOT. #FuckAI #Dropbox

Random 3-paragraph tangent I was planning to cut just accidentally became important. Shit.

If I had a nickel for every horror movie I watched in the past year where everyone’s problems were caused by someone breaking a little stick…well, something about having two nickels, etc.

I expected Demon's Souls to be rougher than the other games, but how in the holy goddamn actual fuck am I STILL NOT FUCKING PREPARED FOR THIS BULLSHIT BY NOW?

Was afraid the clothing would completely break when I tried to rig everything, and it did. But it was because I did something stupid and it was easy to fix. #OC #Art #OCArt #OriginalCharacter #Tailii #StarWars #FanFic #Fanfiction #CloneWars #Blender #3DModel

Oh, is your latest remake bombing because 10 years isn't enough time to build up the nostalgia you rely on to put enough asses in seats to make back the hundreds of millions you spent making it? If only SOMEONE could have predicted such an outcome. If only.
