"And as for the latter argument, that AI will allow more people to realize their dreams? Please. The joy in creating something is in having created it."
Well said, Andrew. Well said.

Over the last month, I've been working on this essay about the use of AI art in board games, "Is This Really What We Want?" Though it is contextually specific, it is also a reflection of my wider thoughts on the use of AI art and writing in creative contexts.

I had the idea of redesigning Roberto's tattoos to make them more meaningful, so I did some studies of how they would look on his body! 🦈✨
(Or just an excuse to draw Berto shirtless?)

In DOOM 2016, Doom guys model is fully rendered, despite you only seeing his arms and legs. However his model lays completely horizontally flat, out of camera view.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

This is probabbly my last drawing for a while of "the dark side of the sun" since my hyperfocus already subsided and I want to get back to other things
But I wanted to let the project go with a bang

Next select Settings, and then Moderation on the next screen. At the bottom of the Moderation page under "Advanced" is a section called "Bluesky Moderation Service" that looks like an info box. It in fact leads to more settings.

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.
We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.
