RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.

For Kemonomimi jam, Riversitters Studio presents...

Miraneko!

Not only did we work on Mermay, we also had a micro-demo of around 30 - 60 Minute Playtime cooking!! (Double trouble...)

"You're the Cat-Eared Garden Robber!!" ⊹₊˚‧︵‿₊୨ᰔ୧₊‿︵‧˚₊⊹ Natalie used to think of summer as fun in the sun, a break from college, or time to pick up a quick part-time gig.   Once upon a time, this three-month break would be her chance to take up new hobbies, hangout with her friends, or splurge with her summer job’s paycheck. However, with growing academic pressure to declare her major before the fall semester starts, Natalie finds it impossible to enjoy summer with the rest of her friends. To make things more complicated, she just so happened to meet Sonny, a cat-eared kemonomimi, trying to find their “life’s purpose” in her compost bin. The two find solidarity in their situations as Sonny can’t go back home without a self-proclaimed destiny and Nattie wants nothing to do with finding her calling in life. Guide Sonny and Natalie through various events and minigames and lead them to one of many fates waiting for them.

It'd mean the world to us if you'd check it out and rate it!! (And also check it out for the bigger release planned for Josei jam...)

It's like when you go to Antarctica and have to get your appendix removed

[theriversitters]

For Mermay 2026, Riversitters Studio can proudly present... Stars in a Bottle!

Perhaps you are like prey, so easily misdirected and misguided by pretty colors.

If a mermaid wished it, the sea would devour all that they desired.

Despite this, many of the seafolk are merciful beings, choosing rather to live in the depths of the ocean, far away from any interaction from their war-torn and power-greedy land dwelling neighbors. 

Salvina, one of many oceanic captures, promises miracles: keep the grounds fertile, cure all ailments, and raise land from the water… for the cost of one human male every month when they see fit.

The latest offering to the self proclaimed “Humanity’s Salvation” is Lieutenant Dorian Sidra, a man who has been scarred by the wars he’s seen. This night with Salvina could change his life or end it.

It'd mean a lot to us if you could go check it out!!

The concept of being 4 months clean from ai...

[sleepytabbycat]

idc what you guys think I'm proud of him

[astronomical-bagel]

Several AI services (chatbots 🫩) are purposely addictive, the same way people can become addicted to gambling or shopping. We’ve literally seen in real time how ChatGPT has caused psychosis and delusions in people; it can have a huge affect on someones’s mental stability. Just because it isn’t substance-based doesn’t mean that doesn’t count as an addiction, and shaming people who are trying to move on and improve themselves is counterproductive. Im proud of that dude and his 4 month mark!

Hidden Mental Health Dangers of Artificial Intelligence Chatbots

AI chatbots can fuel emotional dependence and blur boundaries. Emerging research highlights significant mental health risks. Here are import

The reality of chatbot-induced delusions

Large language models often prioritise agreeability over truthfulness to the detriment of users

AI addiction includes the overuse of AI chatbots and companions, often leading to adverse psychological effects.

Some articles to back my statements, and this isn’t even mentioning about the predatory chatbots who do this on purpose

[oh-morrow]

Then I'll mention the predatory chatbots who do it on purpose! Character.ai is one of many AI chatbot websites that're designed to be addictive.

None of the signup methods require a password. It only takes email and birthday. Minimizing time on the signin or signup screen makes it harder for people quitting to avoid relapse.

"Characters" on the website will send messages "on their own" (prompted by the site) to try to invite inactive users back after as soon as 1 day of inactivity. This is likely to force FOMO, or make users feel more like they owe the bots a response. Unhealthy attachment stuff.

Account deletion is an essential part of every service that should go smoothly, right? Right? Wrong. It takes 1-2 weeks for a Character AI account deletion to be finalized, and account deletion requests have a high chance to not go through if you're not using the app.

Rephrasing: People leaving Character.AI are pushed to download the app in order to delete their accounts, if they haven't already. This makes it harder for people to quit and stay gone. Failing to quit an addiction makes it harder to quit successfully in the future, so this feels like a feature, not a bug. On top of that, the delete account menu reads like this:

Tell me THAT doesn't sound like a bad ex. It's a carefully crafted yet hostile environment to those who are already addicted to the technology. I am so so SO happy, downright delighted that they've managed to quit, and I wish the best for others in recovery spaces or considering quitting as well!! While AI addiction is an emerging condition, there are already therapists and other mental health professionals trained to help people plan to quit and do so a bit easier. (If anyone seeing this is in need of them, there are several tumblr Communities here devoted to quitting, too. They provide a mix of advice, venting spaces, and proof that you aren't alone.)
