  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.

  What's the opposite of #AI slop? This. The. Animation. Frames. Are. EMBROIDERED. So refreshing to see people still valuing making real things by hand. Puppet builder approved. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1553260/Scarlet_Deer_Inn/

  Here we go kids, #podcast time! We touch (briefly) on the #Odyssey, #AssassinsCreed, #puppet builds and then the whole epic of Kevin's first #TennoCon, which was special. As the #Warframe community knows, we all lift. Search Pixels and Puppets where you get your podcasts or at this direct link: https://shows.acast.com/pixels-and-puppets/episodes/pixels-and-puppets-s04e14-we-all-lift

  It's #Canada day! Fuck nationalism, play video games and support indigenous people.

  Yet more prep for #TennoCon. Just in case. I’ve never actually had my own business cards before.

  Forgive the second bit of crass commercialism in one day but I’m still literally trying to raise money for rent. Having a sale on the direct shop. #puppets #maker #smallbusiness

  You think you’ve seen a pink monster but I’ll bet you’ve never seen a monster quite this pink. Live hands eyebrow mech #puppet coming tomorrow to the direct shop at https://www.operationpuppet.com/

  Why learning #history is important: there's a firm pattern that happens when wealth inequality gets extreme and ordinary people struggle to live while the wealthy few thrive. And it doesn't end well for the wealthy. How else did these fuckers think it was gonna go? We'd just roll over and die? Those with nothing have nothing to lose.

  "If you don't use #AI you'll be left behind!" If I see someone running towards an open sewer, I'm okay to not join them.

  (Forgive the crass commercialism, even #puppet builders gotta eat) New Legally Distinct Celebrity Amphibian is now up on the direct shop at https://www.operationpuppet.com! #maker #smallbusiness

  Behold, a new episode of The Oracle has landed! Guaranteed 100% #AI free! #puppets #funny #peertube https://puppet.zone/w/x64zvoWWM7DeMGStiwNebj

  Even if #AI did the miraculous stuff the rich techbros claim (it does not), if they don’t also support universal basic income, they don’t want to “liberate” humanity, they just want different smelling slavery. LLMs can do some useful things. What is being sold is a scam.

  #CoffeeThought: Imagine raising a generation of children who aren't legally allowed to use social media, so instead they resort to.... actually hanging out and doing real things in the real world while the adults become slop-fed addict mugwumps unable to look away from a screen.

  Part of the problem with trying to keep The Oracle somewhat timely with tech & gaming news is once I’ve written a script, 16 more things happen before I’ve had a chance to shoot it. Time to write another script.

  Hey kids, timing didn’t work out so no weekly #puppet build stream today. Should be an interesting one next week though. Spoilers: Legally Distinct Celebrity Amphibian… Nephew. 🐸

  As I post my videos on both #Peertube and (grudgingly) #YouTube, instead of calling myself a YouTuber I’m going to call myself a TubeYou’er.

  Why is a Legally Distinct Celebrity Amphibian the most expensive thing I build? 2.5 hours of stitching. For one hand. #puppets #puppetbuilding #maker

  That #puppet with #tattoos I mentioned? Shipped out today. Inked and ready to roll

  Another Legally Distinct Celebrity Amphibian has spawned! Going on the shop Monday but message me if you’d like it before that! #puppets #puppetbuilding #maker

  I have no hesitation doing blatant advertising for my shop on corpo socials but do feel odd about doing it on the #Fediverse. And every time I mention that someone here is like “Give ‘er! Brother, get PAID!” On behalf of struggling artists everywhere: thank you.

  It’s been an exhausting week just trying to keep my head above water & I’m too drained to even enjoy gaming. Result: foul mood 😖

  I have over 2k hours in #Warframe and have MR30 but I still have never done an endless mission type for longer than 20 mins. It kinda boggles my mind people stay in Arbitrations for like 3 hours. 👀
