I've got an opportunity lined up that should keep me solvent once it starts, but it won't be until about mid-late January, and I'm essentially at the last of my savings now. The $4000 I'm asking for here (ko-fi.com/sjhdoesgames) should be enough to keep me covered until that time. (2/3)

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I can confirm straight up that both I personally and @munitygames.bsky.social do not use AI in our design or development processes. We don't want to and don't need to.

Junghun Lee is blatantly lying straight to your face by saying this. The number isn't zero but it's not everyone. Don't believe it.

Reception so far has been HUGE and OVERWHELMING, thank you so much!

I'm running on low sleep right now and I'm just one guy so it will take time before I can offer direct support and assistance. I thank you in advance for your patience.

Either way, I hope you're having fun!

On Wednesday morning I leave for my VERY LAST in person lab exam and y'all have helped me get *so close* to meeting the need for that ask but I'm still about $225 short.

If you can help, it's deeply appreciated.
Oh Hai 👋🏿

If I can keep these gig contracts steady, the last 15% of this campaign (that I started in October 2022) will go to the bigger ticket items that I still need like neonate appropriate pulse oximeters, for ex., and my licensure exam fees.

This is what I came for.

"AI is a tool."

No. Empirically not. A tool empowers people; helps people. It solves an extant problem. Generative AI in creative mediums is being used as a cudgel that diminishes and eliminates people, and the only "problem" being solved is fiscal.

Stop validating it, even in passing.

It's funny that while The Game Awards are getting dragged for filth about Future Class they decide to conveniently release info about how they're streaming this year with Prime goodies and all that.

I'm not convinced, of course, but it's cute to see the Dorito Pope try and pull people back in.

One of the things that gets me about cold call emails inviting me to call to learn more about a networking event or what have you is that it's so obvious when they say things like "you're dedicated to creating a community around your game dev journey" but don't name the co-op I co-founded. (1/2)

Hey #mutualaid #ma #ttrpg folks, my wife and I just lost SNAP and that money was essential to our grocery budget each month, so we could use some help keeping up with food costs. Anything you can spare goes towards keeping us fed through winter

This trip just became a bit more scuffed, so any little bit would be a great help! Thank you so much for all of your support already!
So it would appear I’m headed to PAX Unplugged to promote GRAYSHADE! If you’re gonna be there, feel free to say hi if you see me!

But also: as this trip is kinda scuffed, I can use some help handling incidentals as I travel! Any assistance is appreciated! ko-fi.com/therisingtit...

The number of times I've used programmer art, sketches, or even music from a game that inspired the game as placeholder assets is significantly higher than zero. That's really all it takes.

Nothing the slop machines can do that you can't do for yourself without contributing to water shorts.
No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.

If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

My caregiver hasn’t been getting paid bc of backlog. And now SNAP is gone (?). She still comes 5 days a week & does so much organizing after. She also runs a donations closet www.instagram.com/affirmingoc/.... She’s incredible & I am asking for donations to her Venmo @hedonistmagik PLEASE ❤️

I just wanted to thank everyone so much for their contributions to my mutual aid winter rent drive so far. As of this post we are sitting at $1300. This has unlocked the Metroid Dread and Tales of Vesperia Hard Mode streaming milestones I had up to offer. (1/3)

I agree w/this and I said this before as relates to the Fortnite Vader thing: to me, it doesn't matter that James Earl Jones gave permission for his voice to be used with Gen AI stuff. Just that alone opened up his voice to be used to say horrendous things, and that's ghastly. (1/2)
"But it was generated from real human voices" is not a good argument for this. There is no human curation to the output, there is a reason we have craftspeople and the *discipline* of video game voice acting exists. The artistry is gone and actively drags down the rest of the game design with it.

I admit I don't know what precisely to say to people who are feeling as disappointed as I am here in the United States right now, but...

I keep thinking about this quote from Kamen Rider OOO. The main character Eiji Hino said it. (1/3)

I somehow always forget that Shigesato Itoi, creator of Mother/EarthBound, has been arrested numerous times for protesting against police brutality and for progressive changes to the establishment in Japan's government.

Makes that cop battle scene in the early game hit different, huh?
