@ evilgeckowo on xitter: /Response Hey guys sorry for the radio silence about the situation. First i just want to say that I'm really sorry for the way I acted recently. I think the jokes of it sort of made me forget it’s a real thing people deal with and I was being an insensitive asshole about it.

“the jokes of it sort of made me forget its [sic.] a real thing people deal with”

yes, that is how perpetuating rape culture works. this is what i was talking about yesterday. if you can’t think critically about this kind of thing before you post or speak, you’re not a safe person to be around.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

YURI!!
so cute omg,,

You don’t really need a budget to do indie animation, the problem is “indie animation” has been reduced to bigger budget/studio works with insane frame-by-frame animation, a big crew/voice cast and a merch line instead of scrappy shit you make in a week by yourself or with some friends in Flash.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

A bipedal red fox paints a rainbow across the sky. They have a determined look on their face. To the right of the rainbow are segments of text from newspaper articles about grim news for LGBTQIA+ folks, especially trans folks. On the left, there are flowers on the ground, with butterflies flittering about. The discouraging words are illegible faint smudges. Artist: BriarhideIllust

Persist against all odds

See the post below for a link to Hades' art book (FULLY worth it, imo) and I'll add a link to their Ko-fi directly if you want to donate. Donating also gives you access to all their comic pages! Also well worth it.

“im gonna make an incest comic just to spite people now”

“we lowkey need to be meaner to these types of people until they know what a joke is”

“these people aren't real, nor should | ever have to respect their opinion”

cw incestual SA , SA apologia and victim denial

hey fyi geckowo is over on xitter harassing a victim of incestual SA for requesting that what they went through not be turned into a joke. she’s said this about them. victim has has to lock their account, so sorry if it looks out of context.

people should allowed to be strange maybe off-putting and enjoy what they want but i don't want a slacktivism scylla and charybdis that begins and ends at being a fnaf fan or whatever on one side and trying to make incest-csa-etc woke revolutionary catalyst on the other

conflicted about insistence upon being "weird" . it would be nice if it were genuine, but it's LARPers, posers, and people who just want to justify predatory behavior all the way down.

starting a letterbox account and probably backloggd too !! i suddenly realize writing reviews is hard.

Sora 2 Is Unbelievably Expensive, With Each Video Costing $5 Of Compute and Users Allowed To Generate 100 Videos Every 24 Hours — Meaning OpenAI Will Lose A Month’s Subscription Revenue Every Four Videos Generated Let’s establish some facts: Once you have access to Sora 2, you can generate what appears to be an unlimited amount of videos, at least on a $20-a-month subscription, and OpenAI has promised “generous limits” for a non-specific amount of time. Every Sora 2 generation is at 1280x704 — a variant of 720p resolution — and every single one is 10 seconds long, even if you ask it to generate a longer one. Each video appears to have sound, whether or not you asked for it. It takes about a minute to generate each video. Now, I’m a curious little critter, so I found that Microsoft actually publishes the prices of using Sora on its Azure AI Foundry page if you select “US East 2” as your region. To be clear, this is the pricing for the first Sora model, rather than Sora 2, which is likely more expensive. Nevertheless, based on Azure’s pricing, it’s likely that each Sora 2 generation is priced at the “720 Global” rate of 50 cents a second, meaning that each video generated on Sora 2 costs $5 in compute, if not more, because it’s very likely that OpenAI’s costs are more than it charges on an API basis. Now, according to The Information, OpenAI’s gross margins were projected to be 50% this year, meaning that even in the most kindly, sweet maths of all time, it’s annihilating all of its margin in two generations, and another subscriber’s margins in two more. I also understand that some may argue that OpenAI’s costs “might not be as bad,” and there’s no evidence that this is the case.

Sora 2, by OpenAI’s own description, is a “video and audio generation model,” suggesting it’s one main model rather than a combination with its audio-generation models it released earlier this year.

Sora 2 is also unbelievably expensive, costing OpenAI at least $5 per 10 second video - and likely more considering Sora 2 also generates synced-up audio. OpenAI loses one subscriber's revenue *every four images generated*. It's unbelievably stupid.

Unused iron-on from 1984. I'm afraid to try and transfer it, so it's just art for now

it’s fine to choose a concept and return to only it overandover until you die

I’ll be grateful my entire life

A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.

i just want to live in a world where helping other people is always the right choice
