If you’re a millennial/zoomer you have seen every single institution degrade in your lifetime. It’s obvious and still 50% of people will gaslight you on this. We live in hell
“We all have the same 24 hours” is one of the most intellectually lazy takes out there.
Some people spend those hours: caregiving, working multiple jobs, managing households, holding families together, surviving, not optimizing. If your success story requires ignoring the human condition, it isn’t motivational, it’s condescending.
Time isn’t distributed equally. Energy isn’t either. Support definitely isn’t. So stop judging, k thanks.
They say “everyone’s been broke.”
Not like this.
Not when broke today means working 50 hours a week, splitting rent with roommates, and still checking your bank account before buying groceries.
it’s all about “efficiency”, “agility” & “focus” until we lose the very last bit of humanity left in us & art stops moving fans & games no longer feel the same because they “don’t make em like that anymore”. at least the rich are getting richer! while your friend loses their job
literally 90% of the ai fanboys in my mentions are racists, groypers, misogynists, or all three. maybe if studios realised these are the kind of people that are out here ‘defending’ them with rape threats and slurs they’d rethink the kind of audience gen ai use appeals to idk
i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a lambo or birkins.
I want to be rich so I can control my time and go to the gym at 2 pm on a wednesday.
sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.
so I can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.
spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.
that’s my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.
getting noticed on places like deviantart and artstation by professionals looking for references and inspiration is how many people get their start in this industry
this is a classic boomerism of pulling the ladder up under you for short term convenience
Shit take aside this response reeks of unprofessionalism. People aren't upset because they think anything ai related will show up in the finished product, they're upset because you ever used it in the first place.
Lot of people purposefully misunderstanding why people aren’t okay with this gen ai shit being used IN ANY CAPACITY in a game’s development. I don’t have time for it.
I have said it before and I will say it again. True indie developers are the future, the ones who stick to their morals and ethics and continue the revolution against AI, despite how small they are.
Support the little guys who stick to their guns.
yes people are going to push back against even the slightest involvement of gen-ai in your creative workflow!! WE DON’T WANT IT! NONE OF IT!! IT SPITS IN OUR FACES! you may think it inconsequential but it’s not to us. oh my god why is that so difficult for these people to grasp
