So I did the thing before I chickened out (or came to my senses) and threw up a GFM as a stop gap measure. I hate doing it more than anyone will hate seeing another fund raiser.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

I have to believe that people still care about human creativity, and human made wonders.

I refuse to accept the nihilism being peddled by those who say AI is inevitable. It's a choice.

We can choose to be better.

Since today's discourse is on how "not everyone grew up with Nintendo", I'll reshare this: medium.com/@felipepepe/...

And reinforce that this is systemic - a consequence of US hegemony. It's NOT a personal attack on American journos, youtubers & gamers, but rather a reminder of our differences.

Important to note; Japan has way stricter laws around laying people off. Actual protections from its government that force companies to do things like have execs take pay cuts before doing a mass layoff. The solution to this problem is not a “good” CEO. It’s systemic and complete reform.
I remember a time Nintendo leader Satoru Iwata took a paycut himself to prevent laying off developers. They really don't make the like they used to.

Money is tight but the urge to buy things in the Steam sale is strong😅

So here's a thread of some games I've enjoyed that are on sale for less than a fiver!

Our debut game, Eternal Strands is sitting pretty at 50% off for the Steam Summer Sale. Use magical powers, fight colossus-sized beasts, uncover the mystery of the Enclave, maybe even do some smoochin’!

People seem to like it! We sure loved building it.
