Today is recognized as Transgender Day of Remembrance. Whether reflecting on trans history and the trans individuals who have fought for what we have today, or grieving the loss of a trans individual in your community gone too soon, we are holding those feelings right alongside you. 🩷🩵

I’m so glad - so grateful - that myself and so many others are spoiled for choice in ways we can have you here with us again, entertaining us - if only for a little while.

I only wish you could be here in person celebrating it with us.

I hope you can still hear/feel it all the same.

I miss you.

I miss you, Billy Kametz.

I miss your distinctive voice, and infectious enthusiasm, and the way you brought a sense of ease & optimism everywhere you went.

I miss when I could pick your voice out in a cast but only got more excited when I did bc I knew you cared.

I miss you so much.

Fuck cancer.

BTW, I'll be posting more stuff with my game project, make sure to follow to watch my progress!

Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu says he's “never used generative AI, and never will.” Hardship is what makes the creative process rewarding - AUTOMATON WEST Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu discusses the history and evolution of game music and shares opinion on generative AI.

Via @automaton-media.com, composer Uematsu: “I’ve never used AI & probably never will. I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself. When you listen to music, the fun is also in discovering the background of the person who created it, right?"

More:

I’ve heard from friends that use recreational drugs that sometimes their brain ruins their own trips now, because what used to be “abstract hallucinations” is now often interpreted by then in the moment as AI Art and it sours their mood/trip.

I hadn’t even CONSIDERED that outcome & it’s depressing.

Posting a Xenoblade meme every day until a Xenoblade soundtrack gets added to Nintendo Music: Day 5

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be.

Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

A dark teal hair wood elf with yellows eyes making a angry face. She's hunched over, teeth clenched and long hair flowing as she clenches her wooden staff, preparing to cast a spell thanks to the moonstone in the center of her staff, swaying from the string wrapped around it.

Putting some anatomy studies I've done into practice with my dungeons and dragons character, Ayla.

When an autistic person is sharing a special interest be mindful that growing up we were often shut down or made fun of for sharing & what you consider “playful teasing” can be taken as mean/hurtful especially if we feel confident/comfy enough to unmask & share something with you or our communities.

A yellowed wanted poster template in the style of the wanted posters from One Piece showcasing a brown hair pirate with heterochromia eyes (light blue/red) named Arura D. Sam with the worth of 22,000,000 dead or alive. They have a wide open smile and is holding up both hands making peace signs with them.

Have you seen this pirate? They have been causing trouble in The North Blue and is heading to The Grand Line.
