Sanya, a tall and chubby redhead humanoid with a monkey tail, is holding a carton of E-enriched egg nog and a stack of presents, smiling from ear to ear. "SACCHARINE MENTIONED!" is the first line of text. The second line of text is "HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM WAFFLE IRON STUDIOS"

We've been seeing our Holiday Season themed FPS, Saccharine, mentioned a few times here and there on this site and others and it warms our heart.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Waffle Iron Studios!

As for my now former friend who caved into using it for their creative works because of disability reasons - no, shame on you. I barely can use my arms on some days and yet I will never resort to the Slop Machine.

I've lost people I thought were friends in part due to my stance on LLMs being a net negative on humanity's existence, especially with genAI and pretty much ddosing the entire web.

Fuck that.

Any use at this point for LLMs is non-existent except to make the planet hostile and miserable. I refuse to use it for my games and for my art.

Objectively correct and based as fuck

Gonna state plainly, for the record, that I'm against AI/LLM use. Whether that be for replacing creative work, distributing misinformation on a mass scale, or invalidating human existence.

Discord profile for SanyaWaffles.

If y'all wanna keep in contact with me you can find me on Discord. I can't guarantee I'm going to be here on this site much.

I'm tired, and this site is not helping. I've had to lock down my feed so tightly I don't see anything anymore.

Why am I even here?

I let my art speak for me. If you're here to hear me constantly "have an opinion" and snark... I'm sorry, I got three games to make and trauma disorder to work out, as well as exploring my recent realization I am plural.

I'm not here to be glued to the discourse.

I've been doing some deep thinking the past couple weeks. Had some talks with friends of mine.

I'm disengaging from the discourse entirely here on out. No justifying minutae.

Y'all know where I stand currently, that's not gonna change, and frankly I'm tired of repeating myself - here or in private

Ruminations: A 🧵

For the last few weeks I've been on somewhat of a self-improvement journey. Trying to eat better, drinking more water, exercising, improving my sleep quality, etc. In addition I've been spending more time with media that are regarded as noteworthy in some form or fashion (1/?)

It's pretty telling that I have to disable autoplay and censor certain keywords so I don't see IRL footage of some chud getting shot.

sometimes it feels like with some of my peers I'm actively being punished for trying to have a decent life in the face of adversity and bigotry.

It's bad enough the chuds want me down where I belong, but now people who are 'batting for me' want me down where I belong.

Nah, fuck that.

It's easy to doomscroll and feel like you're helpless, that's the biggest lie you've ever done.

Creatives that are still putting out work despite everything.

Streamers that still come to hang with their audience day by day.

Individuals that are making calls to representatives.

Keep being great.

Honestly, I wanna be frothing at the mouth and angry but everyone else has that covered.

Ya'll i'm relaxing. Life is good.

Every single person that I've interacted with are so caught up in the stress of what's going on that they're forgetting that they themselves are incredible.

Five characters in a row of various heights. Sanya "Waffles" Vaffelzscki - the tallest of the bunch, Kristina, who is dressed in a robe and has a red long bob cut, Aisha and Sasha Kamen - a couple who have their tails entwined in a cute way, and Nikita "Niki" Koslov, who is holding a spatula and is extremely short.

On the heels of me drawing my sona, I extended the piece and drew a bunch of my characters in a height chart - some I haven't shown to the world yet. And yes, they're all very, very queer.

My debut contemporary album, "DESYNC", is 3 years old today. A modern, electronic album all about the modern electronic world.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go turn into a dusty skeleton in the corner of my room.

A depiction of Sanya, my sona. She has dark red messy hair, a big and tall sized body, a choker neclace, a dark green shirt, red tail, dark grey pants and 90s sandals. She is waving friendly like at the viewer, and is smiling

I drew my sona again for a quick doodle. Decided to make the background a non-binary gradient.

I finally got her proportions looking better and more accurate to what she's supposed to be.

A purplish Steven and Lapis fusion with hair that extends into wings, each layer of fluffy feathers growing lighter until the last are drifting off as cloud matter. The fusion themselves is wearing a purple t0shirt which combines elements of Steven's shirt and Lapis' top, plus some sweat pants, and is shaping a cloud into a heart with a hand.
