we've created a no AI notice to reassure people seeing our trailers and games with hand drawn lettering and a relaxing cute fox, and it's also up on itch in multiple formats* for anyone to use: eniko.itch.io/cute-fox-no-... *with/without fox, transparent/opaque, in 4k, 2160p, 1440p, 1080p, and 720p

btw don't say AI art. say AI images. don't say AI articles or books, say AI text. haven't figured out what to substitute for AI code, but maybe AI technical debt works lmao

(making this its own post since op has quotes disabled) i seriously think that people need to start being taught how to be caring and accessible. ESPECIALLY on the internet. the amount of blatantly incorrect or even nonexistent tagging i've seen for epileptic or triggering content is astounding.

My account is now in overdraft. In order to get out of that hole, keep my utilities (that bill is due in 5 days), and afford other essentials that are due, I need about $600. I hate asking. Any help is appreciated more than I can say.

I'm awaiting payment on an invoice I expected to come in 2 weeks ago, and which I counted on to pay bills. My account's about to be hit with overdraft fees, and I still have to pay my NIPSCO (gas & electric), two copays, rideshare to two medical appointments, and more. Any help is appreciated! 🫶

Repost if $30k would change your life right now

Matt Darling@besttrousers.bsky.social

I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money. Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.

I did a long interview about the proliferation of police drones, what they're using them for--and importantly, what's keeping them from being armed. The answer? In most places, not much. Companies are noticing this lack of regulation and are starting to roll out plans for selling weaponized drones.

Public Defenseless Podcast@pdefenselesspod.bsky.social

Police drones already answer 911 calls in some cities. Matthew Guariglia (@mguariglia.bsky.social) of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (@eff.org) says the taboo is one of the few things keeping them unarmed. Ep. 525 with Hunter is out now: linktr.ee/pdefenseless...

the blue lighting on their plumage mixed with the suns glow makes these birds looks so beautiful. Im in awe, dude.

Only 1 visit from the Ravens today, looking stunning in the morning sunshine. As you see they are tolerant of Crows as long as they don't come too close & there is plenty of food! Apparently Ravens show their intelligence by leaving food if they know something better is coming!

Since I'm also working on MORE Annalynn-related things (announcement coming soon!) I won't have much time to dedicate to promotional pics for this campaign like I did the last one, so I'll be relying on YOU to help create some noise for this! I'll still try to make some pics here and there though!

Cruise Elroy | MEDUSALYNN PLUSH@cruiseelroy.bsky.social

HISSSS...Medusa Annalynn returns for a frightening Makeship rerun! The Annalynn plushie is back in sweet-yet-scary gorgon form for the Halloween season! The plush is only available until October 31st, so be sure to pick one up before then! www.makeship.com/products/med...

The discord disinformation is so annoying because people are making a reasonable assumption "Oh it wasn't Discord, but it was one of Discord's partners, so it might as well still be Discord' but lol no it isn't even that

to me it feels less like "you died, now keep practising your fundamentals" and more like "you died, now go back to the checkpoint and do literally the exact same thing you already did last time until you get here again". results in a very different overall feeling imo

I still see a lot of confusion about what decompilation, recompilation and ports are and what level of effort is involved in each type of project. It's important that people understand the difference, as recompilation took a drastically different meaning that when it was originally introduced.

The problem with using “good game design” to back up your personal taste is that it tends to rely on the idea that good game design is somehow singular, which is more wrong than I can fit on the screen.

ai companies target your helplessness to sell their barely functional chatting models to you. if you do not see parallels with the transatlantic slave trade - how colonizers settle on land and thrive off of unpaid labor, and how many women and children they exploit, maybe give it some thought

@Tertle950@kitty.social reposted

i think people are quick to say that gen ai and llms are tools while subconsciously ignoring the circumstances that make them at the very least functional to be sold as a product i'm first off very surprised that pre-training data and its preparation is barely mentioned in anti-ai discussions

I hate the new Castlevania: Belmont's Curse demo because it isn't a video of a bunny rolling in the sand, and instead is some kind of platform game.
