i literally dont care what your excuse for using AI is. if you didnt put your own effort into making it im not putting my own effort into interacting with it.

The latest racer!
I pulled the level 1 file I had in blender and threw it into godot. I'm so glad I stopped building levels in unity towards the end of my time in it, and had planned out the bulk of the level in blender as it meant I could just re-export it to gltf. The white elements are missing shaders because they were only ever assigned flat colors. Though the cars should have a texture actually..
Reblogging my gamedev account. Follow me for updates!

BILL WATTERSON ‘A cartoonist’s advice’
Really hoping that I can start to channel this with what I want to work on in my spare time now. If nothing else, it'll be freeing.
Hey! I'm Max. I was working on a beat em up game back in 2020 in Unity, that I've decided to return to in Godot. It's going to be about a Gator, his friends, and their very stupid adventures. Here's his hauling ass run cycle.
Hey, I'm returning to my beat em up development, and going to start posting on a separate account for it. Any follows, reblogs much appreciated.

“Why does Batman need to be a billionaire?”
“He has to fund the Justice League. They often have a space program.”
“But couldn’t he do more good if he just invested-”
“The Earth is routinely invaded by aliens, gods, and the forces of an extraterrestrial god of tyranny.”
He has, like, three charitable organizations he funds, named after his father, his mother, and Alfred.
Between both Bruce and Batman’s contributions, Gotham should be a better city than it is, and the only reason it isn’t is DC Editorial Mandate that basically says Gotham has to get worse and worse and worse or there’s no Batman stories they can tell (and, obviously, they have no other characters besides Batman).
There’s a reason Batman thinks the city is literally cursed.
I want to see Bruce Wayne go off
“Oh, oh, just charity my way out of dealing with the Penguin, a living, breathing 19th century Marxist’s cartoon of the bourgeoisie? Just fund anti-Clayface measures? Crack down on corporations who put out shapeshifting cosmetics? What socio-economic pressures turn botonists into actual fucking dryads?! What inspires anti-animal terrorism? THAT’S NOT EVEN A REAL KIND OF ECO-FASCISM!”
For the record, Gotham is canonically curse, because it sits on some sort of evil swamp. I think.
There are like, half a dozen curses. The Lazarus Pits are leaching into the water, Slaughter Swamp is an unconnected body of water a few miles outside of the city that also ressurects people (see Solomon Grundy), the Bat-demon Barbatos and his followers (the Court of Owls) have been fucking up the city psychically and financially, the malevolent influence of the warlock Doctor Gotham’s tomb in the center of the city, the madness hypersigil of Amadeus Arkham (in Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth), there were several outposts of subterraneans and aliens beneath the city during the Silver Age, constant chemical warfare that makes it the equivalent of a WWI trench managed by MK-ULTRA, it’s in New Jersey, and I think God just hates it
tired: Batman could do more good by running charities than by fighting criminals
wired: Batman could save literally every other city on the planet simultaneously with the amount of effort and resources he’s pumped into Gotham, which is a lost cause, but this is his city damnit.
Inspired: Batman’s diligence is containing the menace that is Gotham’s madness from escaping too far from city limits.
For all his billions, for all his activity, for all his efforts, Gotham is a bonfire fed by the madness of mortal people, cultivated by dark powers and just existing there makes living souls like kindling for it. And left to its own devices,it’d become a breeding ground for supernatural unrest that no mere social service system or social awareness of activist campaign, no government program, no actions of a singular vigilante, could ever hope to undo.
Batman is single handedly if need be but fortunately not alone so often, holding back the noxious psychic influences of warp and wyrd entities and what they do to the very environment and landscape through the power of sheer, unbridled humanity.
Ascended: Gotham is containing Batman, because the forces of evil, consciously or not, have figured out that if let loose, this motherfucker and his sprawling adoptive family would’ve solved every crime in the world ever, so they throw literally everything they have at his home town in hopes that he stays there.
Because they were foolish and let Alan Scott escape. They aren’t making that mistake again.
What if Gotham is the pump?
Like. What if, because Gotham is such a shitshow, anyone looking to improve their lives has their eye on being able to move out of Gotham, so whenever Bruce Wayne’s charitable endeavors come somebody’s way, they take it, pack their bags, and move the fuck away, and take that money with them.
Meanwhile there’s an ongoing influx of people to Gotham primarily because they’re flat broke and real estate in Gotham is dirt fucking cheap because it’s a shitshow, and there’s always places hiring because 1) they’ve got Bruce Wayne money to try to make a difference, 2) there’s no shortage of places that need to be fixed up a little, and 3) villains are always in the market for new henchpeople.
So you’re a broke millennial from any other town in the country, and you have student loans, a job that hasn’t kept up with inflation, and your landlord has raised the rent three times this year so far and it’s eating up two-thirds of your paycheck. You look for housing on the internet and discover that one-third of your paycheck will get you the mortgage for an actual house in Gotham, a house you own and will never have to deal with your scummy rentjacking landlord again. And Wayne Industries is hiring, and so are sixteen different disaster remediation places, and six staffing services with a sort of weird vibe to them but they offer benefits, since when do temp agencies do benefits, and sure the crime rate is high but the rest of the world’s heading in that direction anyway, especially if you’re homeless, which you’re gonna be in like four months if that jackass your landlord raises the rent one more time, so get in losers, we’re going to Gotham!
And you settle into your bigger-than-expected apartment and get a job that brings you a comfortable paycheck and you learn to live with the terrorist attacks and the explosions and the gunfire and the neighbors and the drunken billionaire swimming in the restaurant fountain, and you pay off your student loans, buy a car, suffer a few months’ unemployment when your boss goes to jail for trying to assassinate the mayor and then your partner loses their job for a few months when the office gets smothered in a jungle’s worth of climbing plants and you develop hospital bills when you both get caught in a hallucinogenic terror gas eruption at the mall, but hey, you’d be homeless by now in any other city, so you live with it.
And then it’s a few years later and you’re wanting to start a family, but the neighbor three doors down owns pet hyenas and the park was firebombed last week and someone froze all the water pipes and you crashed your car into one of the impromptu ice sculptures and you’d really like your kids to grow up in a normal city where they don’t have to receive advice like “don’t talk to strange plants.”
So you visit one of the social work offices and get yourself a bit of assistance, save up your money, sell your house for the price of a down payment to the sort of incoming fool you were six years ago, and use your polished resume to get yourself a job someplace that doesn’t have What To Do If Clown Attack on their safety training syllabus.
You came, you left, and Gotham remains. A shithole.
This is a really well thought out way in what keeps Gotham moving. Sure there’s the people that have been there they’re whole lives, families that go back generations, but these are reasons people move in. The kind of people that want out. And maybe are desperate enough to take that Job hunching.
It’s also weird to see my pithy response circle around over 20 times and end up back on my dash…
When the glimmering hope continues against the tide of the hopeless.
The weird thing is that Gotham does apparently have suburbs, which according to the scant few comics they appeared in (there was one where Ghost!Jason showed up, and I believe Jim Gordon lived there for a time in the main comics) and it is supposedly much safer there than in the more built up, busy parts where… y’know… more stuff exists for plots to happen.
Hell, even Bruce technically lives outside of city limits most of the time, as while the bulk of Gotham is located on a series of islands (via a map that originated in No Man’s Land but has become the Official Map of Gotham in both comics and other media, including the show Gotham, ever since) while Wayne Manor is located on the mainland bit where other rich people (like the Sionis’, the Elliots etc.) live and also where things designed to cater to them are also located (such as the posh school Tim Drake went to for a time, which was handily close to Bruce’s house he could duck away to go Robin-ing).
The details change, but the basic island structure remains fairly consistent.
As a New Yorker, Gotham feels like three Manhattans in a trenchcoat, with each island completely encircled by the Brooklyn docks
I had a lengthy argument with someone trying to drag Batman once. Nothing I could bring up from the heaps of comics, panels, collections by far greater fans than myself could prove to this person that Batman was anything other than the trope of "rich guy who beats up on the mentally ill". The lore of Arkham and Gotham as cursed/haunted/corrupt institutions. The examples of Batman/Bruce's charities and supported programs. Examples of reformed criminals, etc, etc. Even Frank Miller depicted Batman as directly opposing rich guy's favorite president Ronald Reagan in The Dark Knight Returns. How far are these %#$^ing goal posts. Beyond any of that, if you can't ever be convinced Batman is good or at the very least doing enough. When people propose "why doesn't he just solve the problems by putting more money in X?" Ignoring that he already has: Would you even want to read that comic?
If you're at that level and you don't know Batman's repertoire of philanthropy, you probably haven't read the mainstays of Batman. Long Halloween, Hush, Court of Owls, a million others - You haven't read any of those, but "Batman : 6 Months of Bill Proposal D18" is what you think will psyche you and others up to read comics? Yeah that'll sell for sure buddy. Props to TheBat_family on twitter who has tons of these examples in this thread that I come back to restore my sanity: Ashley|TheBatFamily 🦇 on X: "Batman using his money to help/Bruce Wayne's charity & philanthropy. (Ongoing thread) https://t.co/BM0MSiG9hB" / X (twitter.com)
Blocked in the body, need to start hammering the details. Folds.. getting those hands to have mass, creases, etc. The tough part. Will be on this for days now lmao.
ChatGPT is running out of money because they haven't actually figured out how to make money with the plagiarism engine they created.
