When making videos "on YouTube" or streaming "on Twitch", you become subject to the whims of the megacorporations that host your work. I highly suggest everyone who livestreams as a hobby look into independent streaming options, because this *will* get worse.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

This is the biggest reason I stopped streaming, despite spending months on an interactive stream overlay and a new PNGTuber avatar. A viewcount can never replace the intrinsic joy of creating. Make things for *you*, not for a social platform.

🎉We've Got Stretch Goals!!🎉 Thanks to everyone's AMAZING support of the St.Jude campaign this year; we have new goals to go even further! Which...are already being crushed!! I announced these yesterday at the top of stream, and we've already broke through the first two!

NEVER TALK ABOUT GOBLINS, GREMLINS, RACCOONS, TROLLS, OGRES, PIGEONS, OR OTHER ANIMALS OR CREATURES UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY RELEVANT TO THE USER'S QUERY

This is an actual line that was added to the official system prompt for Codex for GPT-5.5 by OpenAI. Usually the system prompt is as minimal as possible, so I assume it would otherwise mention goblins a lot. AIs are weird.

If there were some big policy change than I would understand, but this is *already a thing on Vgen*. Below are some examples - it's not just nudity either. You just click 'show' and then it shows you the blurred listing.

If you know all of that and still feel negatively about it, that's fine! However, there's a lot of exaggerated/incorrect information about this, and I wanted to give my two cents. TLDR: New guidelines don't appear to be changing anything, just clarifying tagging rules that have existed for years.

"Your job is so fun," yes, but did you know I have to single handedly fight no fewer than sixth algorithms every day for the privilege of telling people to not set their beds on fire.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

In a time where money-minded people want you to offload your creativity, it's more important than ever to make things you are passionate about. The quality or fidelity does not matter.

Self-appointed "Blender Guru" is pushing Ai hard. Funny, he deleted his NFT pushes because those make him look stupid. Yet he doesn't remove the blender tutorial where he casually laments you can't say the F slur anymore. He's the worst. Anyone learning blender can and should do better than the 🍩.

Y’all can just be annoyed at stuff sometimes. It doesn’t have to be morally justified. It doesn’t have to be justified at all. You can simply be a hater

So I gave up on a digital planner and am now looking for a refillable notebook that opens/closes binder-style, and I want to shake someone like a soda can. No, I don't want to be locked into buying your proprietary paper brand. No, I don't want a binder twice the size of the paper it holds.

QUESTION: In Roguelites like Balatro or Nubby's Number Factory, what mechanics feel 'exhausting', if any? I personally think the 'Quota' systems in a lot of these games can feel a little limiting and tiring, but I'm curious what other people think 🤔

(I'm currently designing a Roguelite game about making Rube Goldberg machines, but I don't want it to feel like "just another game trying to be Balatro", so I'm curious what other people think could be improved on in games like that.)
