zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I would fly to Toronto for this. Good luck!

Telus:
- plays a bad song
- plays a 2nd bad song
- interrupts 2nd song for an announcement
- starts playing 1st bad song again
- repeat ad infinitum

If Telus were really for mental health then they wouldn't be subjecting me to this on-hold support line hell right now.

Oh gods. That damned song!

I've never seen Titanic.

Currently at:
— only buy tech too old to have AI built in
— painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well
— if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool
— if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts
— patiently wait for the crash

Rules for Game Dev 1. The gamer is always gamer 2. Games aren't finished, only completed 3. Always keep at least one infinite loop in your game to trap malevolent spirits 4. Don't code the small stuff (it's all stuff) 5. Respect the seven axes of player motivation 6. A bad game is bad forever, but a broken game is right twice a day 7. It's not about who you know, it's about knowing who 8. Disregard the eighth axis of player motivation 9. You couldn't make Super Mario today. Try again tomorrow. 10. The game developer with the most victory points at the end is the winner 11. Do not acknowledge the howling skull

found this in my notes, good advice for aspiring devs

It's all Michael Moore's fault. He started telling us what CEOs were actually like in his books and movies and no-one's been able to put that genie back in the bottle ever since.

Remember the old days when we didn't know who the CEO of a company was and didn't have to hear their opinions on things? Good times...

It would be great if Eventbrite, Live Nation, etc would stop suggesting stuff to do in Vancouver as I don't live there.

I rewatched the first one recently and it holds up really well, I thought!

I don't think we can assume that AI actors are virgins. They could be having lots of wild AI sex for all we know.

This made my day.

I'm gonna do an @ericsmithrocks.bsky.social and remind people who create stuff to have a website with contact info and a comprehensive bio. I wouldn't have been approached about doing the TV show and additional pilot if I didnt have that

I mean, I guess I could cancel my Game Pass account, but I already did because I don't want to give American companies my money anymore. 🍁

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Instead of Walmart in 2025, I'd happily take any of the independent shops that they ran out of business over the years.

He'd make a great Plastic Man. Whaddaya think, @jamesgunn.bsky.social?

Save 50% on Moving Houses on Steam A silly little physics-based game about moving on... or is it? Be neat, be careful, or be a chaos goblin. The choice is yours. But be warned, not all is as it seems in this quiet little house.

Hey if you want to help me make more silly games, go check out Moving Houses, it's a *ridiculous* 50% off during the #Steam Autumn #Sale. store.steampowered.com/app/2831060/...

A kind reminder that there are thousands upon thousands of wonderful #indiegame developers whose games you can fall in love with today (for reasonable prices!), all while not supporting the shittiest people alive.

"Deutsche Bank highlights that much of this growth comes from new facilities being built by human workers, while the AI technology and services sector has yet to make a meaningful contribution to the GDP."

Ironic, that the only monetary growth comes from actual people doing real work.

We're at #VancouverGameGarden all weekend with @softrains.bsky.social showcasing Ambrosia Sky!

If you're local, come say hello! The event is free and the games are plenty (and wonderful)!

We'd love to see you!

ZOMG, how did I miss that this amazing event was happening this weekend?

I liked the game industry better before anyone knew that you could make money making games.

We're participating in this year's @thehandeyesociety.bsky.social Super FESTival! 🎉

Stop Carney’s Surveillance Plan: Stop Bill C–2! Bill C-2 threatens our privacy, erodes our freedoms, and grants the government unchecked surveillance powers. Tell Mark Carney: surrendering to U.S. data demands isn’t leadership — it’s a betrayal of ...

It would be great if one of the con artists that convinced people to invest billions in crypto/NFTs/AI got people to invest billions in green tech to fight climate change instead.

Call it greenBax, tell people they'll make ridiculous profit on it, lose it all, but then the environment is fixed.

The problem isn't autism. It's fear and hatred of autism. The problem isn't trans people. It's fear and hatred of trans people. The problem isn't immigration. It's fear and hatred of immigrants.
