lately i've been thinking about how LLMs must feel really amazing to use if you're a dumbass, but incredibly frustrating if you're just basically competent in life.

The big tech run internet SUCKS, so I learned how to run a VPS and built my own forum. It's old school and modern. It's got signatures and chat. We're doing jams and sharing our art and talking about games. We do not abide bigotry or gen AI.

A week on and I'm still blown away by the reception the Renegade vid got, I thought it'd die in the water! I felt silly as hell making a vid on a game where I focused on the single player when, well, we all know why people still love it. I'm still damn proud of this one!

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

These come from my "dumb stuff I made" folder. It is full of, well, dumb stuff I made. I feel that it is monumentally important to make dumb stuff and document it, because at the end of the day, humanity is a very silly species and we thrive on this kind of stuff.
