They say it spoils creativity. I say it finally built the bridge.
Before AI, my best ideas were trapped in my head. Now, Iโ€™m translating the waves of my imagination into reality faster than ever.
If you think the tool kills the art, you are missing the vision. AI didn't replace my creativity, it just finally caught up to it. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ˜œ

Meme image of Sonic saying "I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding". The text has been blanked out so it reads "I want games with gay people who are woke and I'm not kidding".

If anyone does have money, I do freelance sensitivity reading, writing, and editing, but I completely understand if you do not.

I canโ€™t even donate plasma because Iโ€™m disabled and horrifically pass out every time my blood is taken. My only income is through contract theater work, which does not pay very well, so Iโ€™m mooching off my parentsโ€™ retirement savings while they also try to get jobs again.

His name is Graeldon and I love his series! He also makes an effort to play a lot of viewer suggested and even community made indie games. I really appreciate the work heโ€™s doing.

Laugh Track on Steam You're now the lead writer for Juno's World, a perfectly normal sitcom in which nothing strange or horrible happens, ever! Choose your scripts, decide what characters to build relationships with, and ...

Did you know you can play the wacky psychological horror sitcom Laugh Track right now? It's true! It's free and the cops can't stop you (yet).

If you've already played it, tell a friend! We've got no marketing budget, so word of mouth helps a lot. store.steampowered.com/app/3765430/...

This. I also read this as being "cringe and autistic," but you know what, both work for me.

Very unfortunate, as Iโ€™ve started making games and was hoping to submit this year. I appreciate your effort and hope that people will create similar opportunities for queer developers in the future.

I will definitely buy that. I was going to buy the game immediately if it was $10 or less and was surprised that it was only like 6 dollars. But it was definitely worth it!
