ask me anything about art and games and stories and stuff... i am an open book... today
Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.

I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Every “free” file converter online = your files sent to some random server.

So I made my own. Runs locally as an app on Mac, Windows and Linux.

Now 1,100 users use it for 3,742 types of conversions.

I was browsing around Wplace (a website like r/place where people make pixel art on a canvas, but instead on a map of the world) and decided to check out Casper, Wyoming. I then saw there was a Vector there from @thestarfishface.bsky.social’s webcomic, #Castoff and I had to post it!

!!NON-FISHING POST!!

Listen I don't review games very often and I post my reviews of games here even less, but...

Go play this game will end in 205 clicks. @insertdisc5.com has done an amazing job with it, and it's free, so you've got no excuse.

👑 What does a SUPERVILLAIN do, when he is forbidden from doing anything evil for the day? 👑

I made a game. It's a visual novel, it's not even 1h long, it's FREE.

Please welcome "this game will end in 205 clicks." 👑😈✨

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?

We got like way more people than that don't we?

Additional GDC tips:

- EAT. BREAKFAST.
- The after-lunch lie-down. This is THE strat. Go back to your hotel room for a bit. Charge your phone. Relax in the quiet. It'll help you power through the second half of the day.
- I don't drink in general, but I'm serious: consider not drinking at GDC.
- Never leave your drink unattended. If you do, throw it out, get a new one.
- If someone is being weird, SAY SO. “I don’t think this is appropriate for a professional conference.” 95% will back off.
- Buddy system esp. after dark!!! Don’t leave a friend alone!!!!
- IF IT SUCKS HIT DA BRICKS

Every GDC is someone's first. After every GDC, we hear about mistreatment, assaults, and other horror stories.

Conference vets, share your tips for a #safeGDC!

I'll start: do NOT. under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. take meetings in someone's hotel room.
