Somnus Grey 🧣🍵

Tweet by @night margin "digital artist woes" image of the same color gradient on various screen (monitor 1 appears very grey purple, phone appear VERY pink, monitor 2 appears a more saturated purple, laptop appears brownish red, family's phone appears much darker and bluer etc.)

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

Dimly lit underground shopping street in Asakusa. No one is around, the stores are mostly closed and a safety cone warns of rusty water puddles.

Staircase to the underground shopping street in Asakusa. The florescent tube lighting and walls gives a yellow green hue to the photo.

An empty hallway from a Japanese train station. The yellow vision-impaired guide marker tiles disappear around an equally empty tunnel.

A telephone/power pole leaning under the strain of many boxes and wires.

Japan has been lovely so far. Really lucky I could return here.
I've been forcing myself to take photos. The filter is helping me get into a vibe state and not stress too much.

the human made icons in the pack. free to use of course.

Caught up on the livecast from this week. Someone mentioned that other companies are starting to put 'no ai was used' kind of notes on their games and in rulebooks. I think y'all might be interested to know that there is a movement there and people look for that!

I flagged this review as abusive to Valve, and their team... disagreed

so I guess Steam users can just spout this horrible shit, and Valve agrees with this

cool cool cool, cheers Valve

Here's how we handle manchildren on the Steam forums at No More Robots:

Forgot that I had an 8 page essay on the role of spectacle in horror film until 45 minutes before class. I rattled off 8 pages about Night of the Living Dead without a single in-line citation and still had time to grab food from the caf before class. A-.

Human bullshit first, last, and always.

if you needed another reason to stop using spotify:

I've been preparing a couple more solo plays and this came up again.
disrepectfully, fuck off with that shit.

a flow-chart with 2 islands. "Do I need AI?" that flows into a final island saying "No"

Fuck me this is bleak.
But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders.
But the soul has so much more individuality🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each other♡

yea

Thank you @lynarinya.bsky.social for the skin-tone recolour of my Live2D model! 💚

Its another step towards feeling more comfortable with how I present myself online.

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

I try not to judge people. But if you still pay money for anything Harry Potter-related and expect friendship out of me? We’re severing ties and you can eat grass.

The damage and harm and hurt that Joanne is ACTIVELY doing to trans people is irreparable.

Rogue joins the worker-owned journalism crew Congratulations, it's a website!

A Rascal sister site has launched: @roguesite.bsky.social

Former-Polygon writers have gotten together to launch a worker-owned video game journalism outlet (with a little rascally help).

If you mourned the loss of one site, celebrate the birth of another, and support the people making it happen.

I always hesitated printing anything physical, even when some US people said they'd support it.
Last year I jokingly said I'll only do physical for Australia and Oceania, knowing that it wouldn't be viable. Still don't know.

Tabletop designers rush to prepare for another looming US tariff storm Another hole in the boat, while everyone frantically bails.

Trump's latest tariff changes, including the loss of de minimis exemptions, take effect today. Several small press tabletop designers are trying to anticipate the impending chaos.

Once again strongly suggest that everyone sub to the labeler, the majority of new "artists" since 2024 are AI users, and it's unreasonable to ask someone to be able to spot the tells/styles. If an AI user isn't on there, you can report them to the labeler.

Happy Birthday!

On the cusp of doing a creative project and I'm trying to find a way to get into that momentum mindset WITHOUT making me totally abandon all responsibilities for a month o.o

The player in my game just revealed this artwork! Absolutely love it 💚

Gotta keep remembering this. Gotta keep going. There will always be another casting call. One that doesn't require you to be physically available to record in LA. Even if that's where all the work seems to be going this days. Deep breaths.

👀 oh, that's very interesting to hear! I've enjoyed my time with a lot of their adventure subsystems.

Do you have a favourite one?
