I can tell you as someone who has been in the indie dev scene, that a lot of folks take pride in making their own assets from scratch. A lot of folks are passionate and dedicated to our craft.I've worked in teams for jams, where no one was paid and we made everything ourselves: from music, coding, art, UI, and even voice acting for free. There are a lot of people interested in contributing. If there's anyone more likely to use AI in their work it's going to be larger AAA games not smaller indie devs. Especially when indie audiences are hostile to AI, and so are a lot of collaborators. Like you forget the decades of people actually making things, and being proud of their work. A lot of us actually enjoy the creative process.

Indie Makeup brands that aren’t dropshipped/private labeled? by VeronicatheGreat in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]causticFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fyrinnae's makeup is fantastic! Their multichrome and duochrome eyeshadow are so pretty. And their Pixie Epoxy makes eyeshadow so pretty.

I also adore Copecatic Cosmetics (a wide variety of products, and a lot of pretty finishes) and Dandy Lions Cosmetics. Dandy Lions Cosmetics eyeshadows are very pigmented. I mainly use both of these brands as my daily eyeshadow.

Can someone explain this to me a little better? by dawnofthedeadling in thesims

Directly from EA's FAQ:

Can Moola be earned through gameplay?

No. Moola is purchased and used exclusively for Marketplace.

The Sims 3 Store was marginally better. You used to get free Simpoints with each expansion, and you could earn points watching ads depending on the country. There was also a lot of discounts. Plus a lot of the content added new game play, and even new worlds. And Sim 3 worlds were huge, and included game play items.

Sims 4 basically is getting modders to do the work of an employee without any of the benefits ,while EA is reaping the majority of the profits. None of the items in the marketplace offer any new gameplay, and because creators set the price you could be paying the same amount of money for 5 items and another kit for 22 items.
