just a bedtime thought, but it's wild how often people in the gaming industry are not properly credited for their work on games they worked on!
always remember to keep a personal list of your games and contributions so you can vouch for yourself!

A project I've been so lucky to be involved with this year was something so unbelievably up my alley-- Antonblast! I oversaw putting together the art for the physical edition & even got to make some fun 90s marketing (my happy place). Pls check it out! 💣💥 @fangamer.com @summitsphere.com #antonblast

Pretty disappointed in both @humblebundle.com and especially in @girlswhocode.bsky.social. Please teach girls how to code, don't push them into generative AI. That won't build their skills. Prioritize foundational programming skills and awaken their interest. "Tired of long days writing code"???

Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?
Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.

The thing that makes me feel insane about genAI is that while people are philosophising and splitting hairs and explaining themselves, there's no mention of how it came to exist at all!
It was made by stealing art from artists! Without permission, payment, or credit! It's ethically dead on arrival.

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

when Hamtaro ended, i was nine years old and really sad because i wanted it to keep going, so i just started making my own Hamtaro comics about the other adventures they could go on and the life lessons they could learn
With all this awful news going on i wanna ask this question once again to fellow artists and general creatives. What got YOU into art? what sparked that motivation to start writing? what made you wanna pick up a camera and start taking pics? Like share with us your reasons.

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

Placeholders from game devs I have worked with:
- Character scribbles on scraps of cardboard
- MS Paint
- Meme stock images
- "something happens here idk but trust me dora"
- Plain black screen with bullet point text
- Draft lineart

CryptidCam doesn't use any generative AI, not even for placeholders. I use good old fashioned copypasta for that
