That was just a quirk of heroforge, or my knowledge of it at the time. Didn’t know I could add hair 🤣

ennbee asked this forever ago but I finally put something together. Our campaign started as a one-shot, so of course I got a better idea of who Birkus was over time. Started as a crazy hermit, got resocialized and recollected some dignity, now he's fully repping nature's wrath like a woodsy Batman

Honestly the main thing is it gives me a method to play (and thereby learn to play) D&D like, every day instead of once every two weeks 🤯

I don't know what that means but obviously I have no opposing argument

I stopped using sticker mule absolute ages ago because of the owner’s bullshit. The owner is still on his bullshit, so if you use sticker mule, maybe don’t. StickerAPP is a good alternative, and also there’s most likely a local sticker printer near you (Sticker Ninja in Portland, for example).
The latest move by Sticker Mule's owner. Please don't give these people your money (or honestly send them your artwork, you never know).

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way.
Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.

A desperate move. You can tell because it makes no sense at all.

I understand you mean pursuing it as a profession, but if you’re at all able to, please keep making art. We need it just as much as we don’t need AI slop

If he wanted to use ai in his films what’s stopping him? He seems very proud of the craftsmanship that went into the movies and eager to communicate that ai was not involved. But when he talks about magic ways to make them cheaper, I don’t know how else to interpret that

Sorry but this is the one argument that is just not correct. These movies routinely make all the money in the world

I try to make it clear to people how scared and unhappy the wealthy and powerful and protected are most of the time.
That isn’t to bring you comfort or garner them sympathy.
Please understand that once they no longer believe they can buy happiness, their very next step is TAKING AWAY YOURS.

I think this has got to be a Jekyl and Hyde situation. There’s one person on earth who wants the Avatar movies to be the most expensive ever, and that’s James Cameron. WHY DOES HE ALSO WANT THEM TO BE CHEAPER.
PAY YOUR ARTISTS AND BE SATISFIED.

James Cameron says he must find a cheaper way to produce the Avatar movies in order to continue making them. https://bit.ly/4qnlOpl

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻🍳 💋

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.
