I'm the one that likes adding multiplayer to games that don't need it. Sometimes a Rat™.

Kala Paint@kalapaint.bsky.social

Kala Paint is out! I'm @olawson.bsky.social , professional artist for 15 years, then game dev, now wrote the painting software I wish I'd been using all this time. GPU-run creamy brushes, no subscription, no gen AI crap, hand-coded with ideas from artists in our Discord, and more added weekly!

A hand that I made for a thing and now you all get to be tortured by its existence.

Imagine Bsky doesn't treat transparent backgrounds as pure black or whatever.

I do apologize for the amount of grass touching that I've been doing. Here's a detailed description of what happens every time I go outside:

I had to post this three times because the first two corrupted the comic when posting. Sorry-Not-Sorry, I blame Bsky.

If anybody finds that footage of me from SIX (Seattle Indies Expo) last night. I need it. You'll know it when you see it.

The FitnessGram™ PACER Test is a multi-stage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. This isn't that, but I made a similar game for the GMTK Game Jam 2026 erinndev.itch.io/the-speedoun... #gmtk #gamejam #gmtk26 #godot #gamedev #thefitnessgrampacertest .

I'd like to thank The FitnessGram™ PACER Test for being so mentally scarring that people liked this little sh*tpost of a game. Thank you thank you all so much for enjoying, even though it didn't get many reviews, I didn't think that the people that had played it liked it this much. <3 :D <3 :D <3 .

It's almost as if genAI sucks. I was part of a group running one of the sites, and I'm like 50% sure it felt smaller this year? I'm not too sure, and am way too lazy to check the numbers for a frickin' internet post.

It's not a competition, obviously - but it's absolutely bananas that GMTK Game Jam 2026 actually received more submissions than this year's Global Game Jam. That makes GMTK the biggest game jam in existence. (Maybe GGJ allowing AI-generated submissions put some devs off... who knows?)

Hey Epic Games. Go f*ck yourself. I am so sick and tired of companies adding bullsh*t genAI to their products, especially given they usually have no way of opting-out. F*ck genAI, f*ck companies that try and force it onto you. (0 / I dunno). Source: www.unrealengine.com/news/the-roa... .

There's a chance that this post will prevent me from getting a job at Epic Games if I ever apply, but I don't really care, because I value my morals over a f*cking paycheque, unlike higher-ups that force the use of genAI, and others that don't care about the enviornmental impacts. (? / ?).

Okay I'm gonna go back to no-longer rant-posting on main anymore. I'm just so upset at the world... and CEOs. (? + 1 / ?).

I would much rather prefer I play the game of "Is This Person Stupid Or Lying" rather than "Oh Boy, Is This F*cking Bullsh*t GenAI Slop", because at least if someone is wrong on the internet, it's still a human who's wrong, not a machine that doesn't even know how to think like a human. (8 / ?).

I can keep going on forever, but I'm gonna stop here because I am really tired and wanna sleep. I got two more posts in the chain after this, but I'm stopping myself from rambling here. Most of you should know my thoughts on genAI already, and I feel like I'm shouting into an echo chamber. (9 / ?).

And even so, if someone didn't even care enough about their game to have a human put time and effort into it, then I don't f*cking care enough to spend my limited time on this earth playing something that doesn't have a soul. (6 / ?).

And I'm sick and tired of companies shoving this stuff down our throats. If I go to the internet, and either look something up or just do random stuff, I want to read things that a human being wrote. (7 / ?).

Using genAI to make something for me just completely ruins all enjoyment that I get out of making that thing. You can go ahead and call me old fashioned, or a tech hater... and you'd be wrong, and I won't care. Some of my motivation for doing things is because the process of doing is fun. (4 / ?).

I don't understand people who use genAI / chatbots for a lot of stuff in their life. Like do they feel accomplished after telling a computer to (gonna use videogames as an example) like make a game? What's the point in creating games and such if you aren't going to make it yourself. (5 / ?).

I had to write a like 6 page paper about the ethics of using it to write code, and my opinions are basically the same about all forms of genAI... and my paper was 8 pages long + references, so I clearly had ethical problems with it. (2 / I Dunno).

I create things for the joy of creation. The process that I take to get to a completed project is as enjoyable, or more enjoyable, than the completed project. Watching someone enjoy something that I've made, whether that be a game, some art, music, video, whatever, I feel joy as well. (3 / ?).

I am not even going to f*cking touch any ethical reasons (well, I'm about to, but you know what I mean) during this rant, because even though the ethics of genAI disqualify it already. (1 / I Dunno). The rest of this paragraph was too long so splitting here.

I think it'd be *really* funny if HBO bought the rights and IP to Colbert's show and continued it with little to no changes. Last Week Tonight seems to get funding, they can prooooobably get the #1 canceled late night show.
