I swear I just get more and more motivated to keep stripping down my work to words + ink (or watercolour) scribbles and maybe a public domain lineart every time I see more genAI bullshit infest everything.

That goes /twice/ when I see some dolt deciding ohhh using an LLM to write is bad but art is fine/generating art is bad but writing is fine.

No! It's both shit that comes from a swillmill aiming to destroy creatives and their work while setting the planet on fire! Stop it, goddamnit!

Good morning from a moon of Jupiter, apparently

They're allowing AI art in the Knave 2 adventure jam. I joined the discussion on itch but it got locked with a "don't let the door hit your arse on the way out" sort of message. Really disappointing.

Fuck Ben Milton.

Fucker has no problem with genAI art in his precious Knave game jam (don't use it for writing, though!) /and/ he and his toadlicking sycophants show their entire arses in the thread on the subject (before it got locked, because of course he locked it).

Burn in hell, lazy AI bastards. Theft is theft is theft and that's exactly what those swillmachines do.

Isn't it nice to know he'll happily throw rpg artists (and other artists) under a bus?

telling cohost users, especially nonwhite ones, to go to pillowfort is…to be kind, not going to bear much fruit. like if you've had a good experience there I'm genuinely happy for you but multiple people from that site spent a whole lot of time and energy creeping on, harassing, and otherwise crossing the boundaries of cohost users, especially nonwhite ones, for months. so, just a psa.

The Japanese title is Romelia Senki (ロメリア戦記), senki (戦記) means war chronicle, record of war, and such

I talked a bit about how "when a work has 戦記 in its title I knew it'd be great (for me)", I didn't mention it but Romelia Senki is one of them

There's a #Malaysian #horror #game that has just released recently called #PaperHorrorStories: #ThirdEyeOpen. I was already interested to check it out knowing it's Malaysian and HORROR at that, but was immediately sold when I saw the very #Yamishibai like graphics.

Game dev isn't much of a thing here (as far as I'm aware), yet, but now we have one that is getting some eyes on it I hope we'll get to see this space grow a lot more in the coming years seeing how it's been growing rapidly in our neighbouring countries in recent years. Needless to say, super cool to see environments and stories akin to my childhood.

Bonus point: the game supports multiple languages, but as for English, there's the option to pick between proper/formal English (UK) and Broken English which is essentially the commonly spoken English dialect local to #Malaysia/#Singapore.

Hey hey!

What's everyone's recommendations for accounts to follow that are primarily about animals, wildlife, conservation, etc?

I would like more of it around me but I'm on a pretty small server so it's hard to find via hashtags.

Please do share for reach!

I was wondering if there's a comprehensive how-to-Dreamwidth for Tumblr users and hey, there is!

https://www.dreamwidth.org/captcha?returnto=https://potofsoup.dreamwidth.org/5059.html

(i found scattered posts here and there but this uses Tumblr lingo translated to DW functions. If you are a Tumblr user who wants to check out DW or a cohost user looking for a place to put long texts, please check it out!)

good morning people, kobolds and creatures who live in my phone. i just pulled this out

@m2m If an elegantly-designed booksite for everyman is out of reach, how about the simplest project on my wishlist, a single-page web version of a talk with slides? HTML 4 with tables may still work, but how about modern best practice for such a page, with optimal scaling & readability as well as clear code?
I've spent innumerable hours online failing to get a grip on flexbox, grids etc, & at this stage would welcome an example to implement first & then learn.
