  Man, Enshrouded is really trying to get me to not like it. I’m past 2 hours so still beating my head against it but there’s a lot of mental friction here. I think survival games just aren’t for me 🫤

  Fun fact: despite it being a common thing, I’ve never gone longer than 35 mins in an endless mode #Warframe mission. On tomorrow’s stream imma do 1hr for the first time.

  Taking Cephalon Frankie off the charger. He got too near something on Deimos and now grows thin tentacles that are very messy to trim off.

  Moon meat for the big lady means our 1st hour long survival. Time to go to the Church of #Warframe #Owncast https://owncast.pixelsandpuppets.com

  Nothing makes me so instantly angry as some motherfucker out there with a motherfucking leaf blower just blowing some motherfucking leaves.

  There are a lot of great creators I otherwise enjoy who use a video editing technique to remove any and all pauses and gaps around words and it drives me up the wall. It sounds like your voiceover has been pieced together from 30 different takes. Let speech have a rhythm. Please 🙏

  I clearly remember excited discussions in the office when this "new" thing called #PHP was first becoming known. Ah, how far we've come together.

  My children, the Church of #Warframe is on sabbatical today so no stream but Cephalon Frankie still expects you to say your prayers and harvest your moon meat like good little Tenno. We may do a watchalong for the dev stream this Friday 🤔

  Finally spending some quality time with #Soulframe since P16 dropped and THE WOLF PUPPY IS VERY VERY GOOD!

  It’s municipal election day in #Toronto. Remember, Brad Bradford (yes that’s a real name) hates #puppets!

  An anxiety laden day. This is one of my all time anxiety antidote songs. Warning: flashing lights. And werewolf gogo dancers. Even in these chains you can’t stop me. https://youtu.be/j-qQ_brIsfY

  BREAKING: a lone Canadian puppet builder has discovered Super *Duper* Intelligence. It runs on a mere few pounds of squishy tissue inside the human skull and does not require polluting data centers, just a large stipend of sleep and coffee. Investors, please form an orderly line. #AI

  Well I *was* going to nap but someone in my neighbourhood is setting off fireworks. At noon. On a bright & sunny day.

  All talked out from a long podcast so putting a pin in the #Warframe stream today. More soon!

  On the one hand I lament not being able to break through into a wider #warframe creator space. On the other I frequently cancel streams. Hey Kevin, think these two things might be related?

  Still blown away by Mischkaa's Banshee skin. Just stunning. I loved Banshee before but I think it's turned me into a Banshee main. #Warframe

  Ew gross, someone posted a comment on a video on my #peertube server with a link to their AI slop video. If they're even a real person that is. There has been a flood of bot crap across the Fediverse lately. Like damned cockroaches.

  Vibe coded decomps could be the real Achilles heel of corpo #AI boosters. The very companies that pushed this stuff are facing a world where any yob can prompt themselves a Photoshop clone and just put it on GitHub. It’ll be jank and impossible to maintain or update, but free is free.

  *eye twitching* Buddy who made the #AI slop video he posted on my Peertube actually had an "agent" email me. Replied "fuck off and never contact me again" and blocked the domain. Think the LLM can infer any context from that? Don't. Send me. Slop. Full stop.

  I’m no sketch artist but today I took an actual pencil and actual paper and sketched out an idea for a puppet build and in doing so I learned more and put more personality into it than anything some LLM could regurgitate out. Doing art isn’t about *having* art, it’s about *making* art. No matter how “good” the result, #AI can never be that.

  Hey mini heatwave part way through October after I’ve broken out the leather jacket? Get stuffed.

  Off to the dentist for some torture so reflecting on how it's going to be impossible for me to ignore all the GTA stuff in the next couple of months. Yes these things are related in my mind.

  Between it being too hot and dentist anxiety I didn’t sleep much last night. Result: seriously considering turning in at 7:30 pm. Rock star life, me.

  I’m noticing more & more when a video does *not* use #AI stuff like voiceover and thumbnails. An imperfect thing full of humanity will always be more impactful than some dull generic LLM output. I want to hear your accents, your stutters, your bad line reads, your awkward pauses. Perfection is boring and pointless.

  Still time for Spooky Season! More #Halloween builds just listed, a Smol-o-lantern and bedsheet ghost, inspired by the classic Betty Boop cartoon! 🎃 👻 Available on #Etsy or message directly for PayPal! #Puppets #smallbusiness #artist https://www.operationpuppet.com/

  Just finished these two little goofballs. They’ll be listed for sale tomorrow and then I’m off for a week of birthday staycation, during which I plan to stream pretty often.
