Today, the UK government announced a proposal to change copyright law - for the benefit of AI companies - that would cause huge, irreversible harm to creators.
More info below, but most importantly here's what you can do (wherever you live):

Picture of a Cintiq, displaying A UI layout of the game Pokémon Platinum. The Main screen takes up the majority of the screen, whilst the touchscreen fills up the rest of the space on the right, with a list of party Pokémon positioned just below it.
Spent my Saturday Afternoon setting up a UI for Streaming Pokémon even though I don't stream.
I feel like they're both combo pieces. The tinsel reflects the lights, scattering it in an interesting pattern!
Can't tell if it's my inability to post or the fact that I start a new project every time I breathe that's the problem
I've been having to explain this too many times to too many people over the past year. I think people who are excited about generative LLM's do not actually understand what it does.
I’ll never stop making games!
Because it’s so hard to ever finish making them!
These are divine ✨
I never posted the animated versions of the Paradox Trio on BlueSky, so here you go. #pixelart
My favourite level design and environment art resource and the best website on the internet is still noclip.website
On one hand, steam is a landlord-like parasite, exploiting its near monopoly status to seek an exorbitant rent from every game sold
On the other hand, all my games live there and gaben looks like if santa retired to bermuda, so who can say if it's good or bad
That time I streamed my own stream with Mariokart sprites popping in and out at the right time.
Looking out.
E-ink (Supernote) sketch.
Though I do not do this, I am offended simply by the prospect that I might one day decide to.
Having trouble remembering which axis is which? No problemo, just consult this handy guide!
Full art Pidgeot, grabbing a magikarp out of the water using its talons, causing an intense wave 🌊 From Pokémon Pocket TCG
I think this might be my most favourite full art.
If anyone knows of any neat decks that use Pidgeot, let me know!
No you're totally right, I end up doing the same! I have to keep reminding myself I'm allowed to enjoy things too 😅
Toy Mario in a Mario Kart Kart invoking rizz.
This is the best day ever 🎉
It's my birthday tomorrow and my workplace got me this (I am known for demolishing everyone at mario kart).
So true! Gotta love mutually beneficial systems 🙌
Yeah I've followed just one of those so far as to not overwhelm! It took a couple days to take it on and figure out how everything works here.
I think I'm getting there slowly, it's just nice to see that there're a lot of ways to jump in and people willing to help out ^^
Making UI is the most infuriating thing ever and yet the most satisfying thing in the world when you get it how you want it.
Finally got something stable and it really is something you have to get used to.
Still transitioning over from the, "my life depends on this", mindset. It's scary but freeing ^^
Pokémon fans who may be disillusioned with the mainline games presently:
What did you like about the games?
What Generation do you think signified the start of the end for you?
What Generation is your favourite?

I made it for the #jinglejam last year. It was my first ever game project that I've seen through from start to finish and actually released!
