If this post gets 30 likes I'll post a spoiler for Sekaiju: The Anime.
Speaking of which, I bet like 80% of my followers here don't even know what Sekaiju is.

WE HIT 30 LIKES! I just need to discuss with the director about what I'm allowed to leak.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

If you use or were considering using SAMMI, switch to a different program.
The new sole developer is extremely pro-AI, has already started using it in the code, and is in support of its use for genAI images as well. Everyone who protested this was told to leave the server and stop using SAMMI.

Well, considering my sona is a shapeshifter, he could just give himself a tattoo if he wanted. But to answer the question, no. In fact, he's never gotten any.

i'm quoting this interview a lot but it's full of incredible moments
the lesson you have to draw from this is:
you HAVE to be unapologetic about what you do. "fuck the rest of the world, we love furries and we're gonna show them that they love them too" is an inspiring attitude

Offering Received: No-purpose flour (a bag of flour that serves no purpose) (#643)
this flour doesn't get wet, and it doesn't mix with anything, it doesn't make a cloud if you throw it... it just never does what you want it to do! weird...

genuinely it's important to embrace this wholeheartedly, don't drag yourself down by some arbitrary need to "be honest" about media you like, there is no quota for "objective" "criticisms" you have to fill

probably long shot but does anyone remember of a ‘virtual pet’ like page like this?
I remember you initially had to feed it words and then sentences, and it’d tell you random sentences mixed from the ones you gave it.
I think I recall it being described as being markov chain based also…

I've had an idea for a story involving my OCs for a good while now, where the world they all reside in gets invaded by some kind of alien army attempting to merge several worlds together, and causing tons of chaos by doing so.

Execs always claim bloated budgets increase retail prices. This is a lie.
They will always increase prices to whatever they think they can get away with. Always have, always will. AI is merely a new get-richer-quicker scheme.
And execs will never admit the most bloated costs… are themselves.

- AI is used to offload the "tedious" work so devs can focus on the artistic side of things
- AI will make games cheaper to and faster to produce
Still a $70 game btw...
