I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
This makes me happy.
"but the claims being pushed don’t hold up." This worked just fine and is right there in the first paragraph.
Really enjoyed the OFF remake, so I drew my favorite travelling band of misfits. Just me, my frog and our cat. #art #OFF
Where's the DAMN HORSE TALI?! LOL!!!
That's a heckuva lot of melted wax there. I like her.
Wayfinder // New Piece. One of my favorite gimmick pieces, no spoilers but it can set things on fire :) #art #chess #gamedev #indiedev #CIELO

I hope the poor thing doesn't get motion sickness. <3
Now I'm hungry. :D
Yeoman // Upgraded Archer piece. Powerful and hard to attain - not gonna spoil how to get this one :) #art #chess #CIELO #gamedev #indiedev
First two thoughts: Cool! Ouch!
Fuck AI. Unreal.

This!
I needed a smile, and these amazing splashes of color did the trick. <3 This is wonderful. What fun! I'm hoping to break out my watercolors soon, as soon as I recover more energy.
The little things that give me happiness & gratitude. The way every flower moves in its own unique way in a breeze. Leaves rustling, talking to each other. gouache & aquarelle pencils #Stunday #peaceful #happy #joyful #bloomscrolling #nature #naturelovers #flowers #art #painting #mixedmedia
Improvements in the piece movement system are already massive. I can't wait to get the new opponent in and test this out against the CPU! #gamedev #indiedev #CIELO

And no lil bot. The pics are hidden in the thread. I’m so sorry. It’s going to be okay. /gives lil troll another cookie. Run off and play now!
Such a helpful bot! The more you talk, the more you help spread ALT NPS’s post!
It's just a troll or possibly a bot, not even alive.
Awwwww, what a cute lil bot you are! Trying sooo hard to be all grown up!
The Resistance is Active in DC—You’re Just Not Looking Closely Enough
Just saw all your comments from last night’s post and someone shared a pic, Orlando showed up and used chalk to bring the rainbow crosswalk back! We love this so much!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Awww, you need a snack don't you? /hands lil bot-troll a cookie.
Lil Russian Bot; go off and play now. the adults are talking.
47's a delusional childish idiot with the intelligence of a pot roast. No one wants him or any troops in Chicago, especially the people living there. No one wants him or any troops in DC.
LOL! So many beads!! Forgot about them too! Well, not forgot, just hadn't thought of them in awhile. Ironed so many of those. <3
I forgot all about this! It is a classic.
This is well done. Serious tone to it, not your usual. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl8G...

I saw this posted on FB by a friend, and it was all I could do to control myself, it made me that angry. Instead I just commented; "Me as an artist/writer/photographer seeing GenAI everywhere . . ." Fuck GenAI.
Fuck GenAI.

O my, I totally forgot about this! It's so beautiful. <3
OFF stream is up on the vods channel! #stream #off #steam #vod www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjIc...
This might be the most satisfying thing I've ever coded in a 2D engine. (reworking the entire board loop was a good idea) #gamedev #indiedev #CIELO
Agree!!!! One more reason to say fuck GenAI
I did turn off AI results in my google searches, but it still comes up in that "questions people ask" section that was always really awful to begin with. Images, yeah. It can be real wasteland, depending on what you're looking for. And that stupid AI mode prompt. Just sick of all of it.
No one wants voice control. No one wants ai assistants nagging them constantly. No one wants holographic tactile nightmares. We want mice and keyboards, search engines no more complex than ask jeeves, and cranks and levers because they feel GOOD. Stop making everything worse!
Its impossible to find anything other than mainstream because algorithms are exhaustinglu corporate. Microphones listen to you talk to sell you things. Ive given up using google for ANYTHING from more than a month ago. Today i searched "star tf2" and it couldnt even link me his youtube.
tldr we dont want to be controlled. Go back to open source freeware, embrace indie startups that talk to you like people and not corporations. If anyone says to you "service with a smile" block them on sight. We need to remind them we're human.
No. Just no.

Millie art always makes me feel good.
I really love the misty trees
Sorry, just don't have the time or strength atm. Dealing with a serious family health issue with parents right now and I'm burned out tbh.
50501 talked about it on website I think. Not sure.
Art style & silhouette practice. Very happy with these tests
Like.
If you didn't, then yeah, no idea what their issue was. Especially since a general strike is something they also have been talking about. So either they misread something you wrote, or/ shrug
And yeah, I checked out the link. Ty for posting it, but not impressed. Guy's got a burr up his pants. And your remark about them "pretending"? Again. Been with them from the start. And this current term, they were giving us news days before any other sources published the same.
Plagiarism? Eh. I highly doubt it. AI? Highly doubt that too. I've been following their posts since orange idiot's first term, and they have several people writing the posts and there are distinct styles. I think some people are, for whatever reason, hot to find something wrong about them.
They do what they can. They are all volunteers running the page here and on FB, and trying do their jobs at our Nat'l parks, and protect them, on top of organizing the coalition and keeping us informed as best as they can. Tbh, not sure how they're keeping their sanity intact.
50501 has always said they are a peaceful movement and will not tolerate violence. You don't need government permits if you march on the streets and on the sidewalks and don't obstruct traffic or people walking. If a march requires blocking traffic or a street closure, then you need a permit.
They also spread info from the folks who do organize protests, like 50501.
They have. Off the top of my head the coalition organized getting food to people, helped senior citizens to the social security offices, and when there are huge protests going on, members go to each to watch for trouble/keep protestors safe. Some info you've read, the coalition helped get it out.
Ty. :) Love to Scotland. Thanks for understanding most of us hate him too.
You're such a true friend.
He has the ability to fold himself in half while sitting.

Real paragraph on the front page of Collective Shout. These people are liars hiding behind a moral grandstanding of social justice as a shield for their abhorrent actions. Don't trust a word these people say, they only want to censor everything. This actually makes me livid. #gamedev #steam #itchio
Reminder that they're deleting and hiding articles of dissenting opinion and trying to muddy the waters. Repost often, save everything, nothing is sacred and there is no barrier they won't try to cross. This is a war on art, and I wish I was joking.
From Vice: "In one case, the organization even retweeted a notoriously anti-trans feminist who declared that “pervert nerds are responsible for most of society’s ills.” The retweeted feminist, a self-described “trans-exclusionary radical feminist,” Vice articles; archive.ph/USxe6 archive.ph/x5cGQ
They misinterpret games,they out and out lie on their webpage. Kind of like Trump, don’t believe a word they say.They hide behind morale grandstanding.You should be outraged. You don’t game? Well, it will end up affecting you as they spread out to other forms of media. Art. Music. Books. Magazines.
Removal of what they deem to be unacceptable media, making it unavailable for any of us to see. Censorship. They are starting with what they consider “porn” but their goal is censor all media, not just targeting indy game devs, but removing all media with “political” or “controversial” themes.
Collective Shout has many conflicting labels attributed to them. Feminist. Woke. Christian. Anti-porn ignore these.The labels exist to get people to argue and be divided over what they stand for, rather than being aware of what they are actually doing.
Devs with games on itch.io have lost their work,people who purchased the game cannot access it.Payments are frozen, money they depend on.Last week, by putting pressure on payment processors(VISA, PayPal, etc),Collective Shout forced Steam to remove hundreds of games, for claims of porn, child abuse
Censorship. How many of you reading this like censorship and think it’s a good thing ? Raise your hand! How many of you have heard of a group called Collective Shout? Last night they forced Itch.io to remove all independent games with nsfw tag.This was not announced, no warning.17,000 games gone.
Gfdi itchio was a bastion for freedom of game devs for so long. Mastercard/antiporn cultists can fucking die for all i care, what a bunch of miserable louts. This is just pure evil.

Huh! okay--it tastes quite salty to me, but a little bit different--just a little. Not sure how to explain it.
I like sea salt, like when it's on caramels. No idea if it's non iodized--not sure I've tasted non iodized.
Next time just google your question, and I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. But here--https://clerk.house.gov/Votes

Colbert has the highest ratings of any late night host. "Financial reasons" my ass. This is political.
This is so beautiful to watch. And respect and support to Stephen Colbert.
And if you or someone you know needs help, here’s how to reach The Trevor Project directly: 📞 1-866-488-7386 📱 Text ‘START’ to 678-678 #TrevorProject #LGBTQYouth
Yesterday we posted about the Trump administration shutting down the LGBTQ+ youth crisis line, the “press 3” option on 988 is officially gone. The Trevor Project is stepping up to help fill the gap, and they could really use some support right now. If you’re able, please consider donating! 🏳️🌈 💛
We’re good. :) Thanks. Totally agree with you! When I initially watched the vid, I was exhausted and misunderstood something in a big way. Sorry about that. I’m huge on calling out GenAI in all its forms, especially when it’s purposefully deceiving people.
I am giggling because I can easily picture this like an animation.
I aim to communicate as if I were having a stroke - yet still be comprehensible at the same time. It's an artform.
(I am not an GenAI fan at all. Quite the opposite)
Thanks for pointing that out! Tbh, I misread something. Was distracted, etc, and didn't see the disclaimer on the vid. I watched it again and yeah, his voice was weird.
The first three sentences you wrote were clear, giving me good information, conversational. The last sentence was completely unnecessary.
