What the HELL!? I think I'm already back to the chapter where I left off all those years ago. I WAS ALMOST HALF WAY THROUGH THE GODDAMN BOOK!?

THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT! BRAIN, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!? I DON'T REMEMBER *ANY* OF THIS!

Forgot what a quick read Wolves of the Calla was. Blazed through it in just a couple weeks! Now comes the MOMENT OF TRUTH:

Can I make it through Song of Susannah this time without getting distracted and cursed with another ten year reader’s block?

Every story you hear about a language model "going rogue" and "hacking" is marketing bullshit. Literally all they do is regurgitate words to try and sound human.

If an LLM is hacking, it's because it was given access and told to do something so the companies can act surprised.

Definitely having normal thoughts about that new Metroid thing.

Totally normal. It sure does look like a normal game featuring a character I like a completely normal amount.

It's a placeholder. It's not SUPPOSED to look good. Also isn't it kinda fun to have an excuse to draw badly on purpose?

There are literally SO MANY reasons not to use generative AI. Just don't do it. Art is for humans.

Comparison of a mockup fantasy game environment with two different methods of placeholder artwork. It is a generic castle hallway with a blue rug, a short table against a wall, and a large painting on the wall framed by lit torches. Top: The painting on the wall is an AI-generated image of a knight fighting a dragon on a volcanic mountaintop. I did not generate this image, but took it from Google Images to use for an example. Text: AI Placeholder -Appears too polished at a glance -Already looks like it belongs in the scene -Easy to mistake for final asset version -People will get pissed if you accidentally leave it in Bottom: The same scene, same angle, but the painting is now a terrible, sketchy, MSPaint looking drawing of a stick figure knight fighting a dragon that looks suspiciously like Trogdor the Burninator. There are a few scribbles of color, but it is predominantly black lines on white background. Text: Crappy Hand-drawn Placeholder -Looks terrible on purpose -Stands out IMMEDIATELY -Unlikely to be mistaken for final asset -Get to make stupid references and jokes nobody will ever see Blender window of the mockup game scene showing that it is literally just a branching hallway with nothing around the corners or behind the camera. My customary "I didn't use AI" message is visible outside the boundaries of the hallway and says "ai sux lol -Leko"

If you need placeholders, DRAW CRAPPY STICK FIGURES IN MSPAINT. Don't use AI. Shitty placeholders stand out. I guarantee you will not forget to replace them with final assets later. If the AI-generated shit fits in too well, you WILL forget it's a placeholder, and people WILL get mad at you for it.

If you have to answer the AI disclosure with anything other than “NONE WAS EVER USED,” I don’t want your game. I don’t care what you used it for, at which stage, or if any of it is in the final product.

Your project is tainted, it’s off the wishlist, and I’m telling my friends.

This IS something that's always bugged me about morality systems. It's not fun being "evil" when it just translates to "be an irredeemable dick for no reason."

Dark Leko doesn't join the assholes bullying the alien. He grabs the leader by the throat and throws him off the overpass.

So @kelto-eboroth.bsky.social is a NSFW alt account I intended to keep strictly separate from my main. It was compromised this morning and used to send out spam, so I have to drop the "that's not me" charade to warn people. I've secured it, but don't answer any DMs from the pervy evil wizard. #PSA
Screenshot of the "Kelto Eboroth" Bluesky account, which was recently compromised and used to send porn bot spam to random users. This was an NSFW 18+ art account that I made a distinct effort to distance from my main, and planned to maintain a level of deniability if anyone ever connected them. Unfortunately, this is a matter of safety, and keeping up the thin charade would be irresponsible.

Yeah. Okay. Sure. Why not.

#AO3 #Fanfiction #StarWars #Mandalorian
Adding AO3 tags in preparation for posting the first chapter of my fan fiction. I typed "beskar" and got suggested tags that get less normal as you go down the list. Includes tags such as "Beskar Armor Kink" "Inappropriate use of Beskar" and most notably "BESKAR STRAP-ONS."

Okay, it's just Zan.

(Is it still "Clone Wars Style" when they're using it for like everything else now?)

#OC #OCArt #Art #Blender #StarWars #BountyHunter #Mirialan #FanFic #OriginalCharacter #CloneWars
Clone Wars style model of Zan, a green-skinned Mirialan bounty hunter with a ninja aesthetic. He wears a long green coat with utility pouches on the shoulders and belt, a simple black shirt underneath, dark blue pants, and black gloves and boots. He also wears a black hood and a mask over the lower half of his face. Unmasked, he has long messy black hair, with symmetrical Mirialan tattoos in the center of his brow, and directly underneath his eyes.

y'know, "squish it, skew it, turn it all around" actually does a LOT for this logo. Also made a few other layout adjustments and threw in some TIEs to take up some of the empty space.

#Art #OC #Blender #StarWars #FanFic #Writing #OCArt #3DModel #Tailii #OriginalCharacter #GraphicDesign #Logo
DEFINITELY VERY FINAL VERSION OF "FLIGHT OF THE MAGPIE" COVER ART. The title logo is skewed and slanted, the starry background has been redone to be less dense and uniform, Zan's ship is in the upper left corner, and some TIE fighters are zooming around in the right corner. The empty space was bugging me.

We have a title. Did something clever with the logo and I don't think most folks will appreciate it.

Also scrolled through so many fonts that "Magpie" no longer looks like a real word.

#Art #OC #Blender #StarWars #FanFic #Writing #OCArt #3DModel #Tailii #OriginalCharacter #GraphicDesign #Logo
The same cover art as the previous post, but the placeholder title has been replaced with a real one. This fan fiction is officially titled "Flight of the Magpie." The logo features a stylized side-facing bird silhouette above the title, which is rendered in red and gray with a light gradient overlay making it appear slightly metallic. Description copied from previous post: Tailii is sitting in a pose on top of her ship, the Rusty Magpie, the cockpit of which is visible behind her. She is smiling and looking up in the direction of the placeholder title. There are 4 planets in the against a starry background bordered with blue nebula. The large blue and red planet directly behind Tailii is her homeworld, Sulon. Above and to the left of it is Coruscant. Naming the other two planets would be giving away some spoilers. If I did a good job on the render, the top one might be identifiable. Also Zan's ship, The Dragon's Shadow is zooming outward on the left side there.

I mean it's cool and all, brain, but why did we work on this all day instead of actually finishing up the first chapter?

#Art #OC #Blender #StarWars #FanFic #FanFiction #Writing #OCArt #3DModel #Tailii #OriginalCharacter
I made cover art instead of actually finishing up the first chapter. Or giving it a proper title. Tailii is sitting in a pose on top of her ship, the Rusty Magpie, the cockpit of which is visible behind her. She is smiling and looking up in the direction of the placeholder title. (STAR WARS: TITLE OF THE STORY: A PLACEHOLDER STORY) There are 4 planets in the against a starry background bordered with blue nebula. The large blue and red planet directly behind Tailii is her homeworld, Sulon. Above and to the left of it is Coruscant. Naming the other two planets would be giving away some spoilers. If I did a good job on the render, the top one might be identifiable. Also Zan's ship, The Dragon's Shadow is zooming outward on the left side there.

It has come to my attention that 6,000+ words is indeed a lot.

TIME TO MAKE SOME CUTS. SORRY, DARLINGS, BUT YOU'RE BLOATING THE CHAPTER.

#fanfiction #fanfic #writing #starwars #oc #editing
9 and a half pages of text comprising chapter 1 of my Star Wars fan fiction. Several parts are highlighted in red to indicate areas to trim down or cut altogether.

Holy crap, I actually finished writing a chapter. Is 6,000 words a lot? It feels like a lot. Also I never thought about what I'm actually going to call this damn thing...

#fanfiction #fanfic #writing #starwars #oc
Screenshot of LibreOffice Writer showing the final lines of Chapter 1 of the Star Wars fan fiction I've been working on for a while. "...gripped the large silver lever tightly and pushed it forward. The stars ahead stretched into those familiar bright lines, and the Rusty Magpie flung itself into distant space." The bars at the bottom of the window indicate that this is page 10 of 12 (the extra pages contain my vague outlined ideas for where the story is going) and the complete text of Chapter 1 is comprised of 6,372 words.

Twitch's "Allow your channel content to train generative AI models" setting is here and on by default.

Go turn that shit off, streamer!!

The toggle is under your Settings, then 'Security and Privacy'
