much has rightfully been said about the role the storefronts play in strangling the adult content out of games, but i think it's also worth pointing to how restrictive twitch and youtube are, when conventional wisdom is that you need people to stream your game for it to sell well

Yup, it's a repeat of those "The Spider-verse movies used ai" headlines again where it turns out if you looked at the actual interview, they just coded a tool that meant they didn't have to manually draw every brushstroke outline every frame.

Getting and selling porn should be easy like buying anything in life is. We shouldn't be underground because that is what fascism wants. Stand up for porn now or lose most creators you love. Don't let us backslide!
"porn's going back underground"
"we're going back to cash"
"we're going to crypto"
"we're gonna mail print only"

how about instead of saying funny shit online you call your reps and speak up for us so we don't have to do this

The headline is disingenuous. Full quote is attached.

“We want to” is NOT the same as “will.”

As for why he’s not totally anti-AI, Laika developed AI tools to hide seams back during Missing Link - an application that seems ethical and useful for stop motion. www.fastcompany.com/90537494/how...

I’ve been screaming this for the last decade. Buy the physical versions of all the things you love. The constant mergers and acquisitions of studios is no guarantee that the things you love will be available to stream.

One of Roger Elbert’s core philosophies when it came to to writing about film is that even the most scathingly negative review he could give to a movie should read like a positive review from somebody else’s perspective.

He’s also the only person to ever win a Nobel Prize for film criticism.
We live in a society where we're not supposed to enjoy things. We're supposed to analyze them down to the most minute detail to "objectively prove" if it's good or not. Why can't you just enjoy the thing despite the flaws?

Ya know, people complain about power of friendship endings but it really shows how much those people see things as individualistic and not how powerful community is.🤨

Anyways, class consciousness! 👏👏👏

Finally done Leon’s new reference sheet and design notes! He sure has changed and gotten much more polished since I first started drawing him.

This is why Sera's moment with Pentious was crucial, Live to Live is Pentious helping Sera recognize the fear she has is what Sinners are feeling, establishing that very human feeling and helping Sera connect more to realize more about herself but also finally truly Believe that the sinners wishing-

I think my favorite thing about Hazbin s2 is that all of the human flashbacks held a certain nostalgic factor solely built on everything I, as a fan, used to imagine as possibilities for these characters and this world when the pilot dropped, despite having never experienced it before.

The thing to understand about Charlie is that she’s in the same boat as Luci and Sera in regards to having no real experience with the human condition. I think people look this over because she comes off more social and well-adjusted, but she’s performing HARD.

You know what I like? Artists who post WIPs, rough sketches, REAL timelapses... I think that's what sets us apart from AI lately, which only knows how to post finished drawings, several a month
It's so artificial, so empty
I like to see real art unfinished, very raw. That makes everything more human

At a time when politics are divisive, more than four in five Americans agree on supporting the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

But the Trump admin has proposed new rules that would significantly limit the ESA’s effectiveness, a gift to polluters & extractive industries that would only harm wildlife.

This is why, if you're gonna do the Santa thing, once they get to the point where they ask these questions it should become a *concept* of generosity and charity rather than an actual person. "Santa" is the kindness in our hearts and our desire to make things better.
We had the boys pick out toys that could go to Toys For Tots, explaining that some kids weren’t as lucky as they were at Christmas, etc. Then the eight year-old hit me with the ol’ “well, isn’t Santa going to bring them toys?” and, man, Santa is definitely hard to reconcile with a sense of charity.

Another one added to the #HazbinDragons, this time it's dragon Angel Dust! ✨
I always had a clear idea for his dragon design, simple but fun, while keeping his looong shapes.

The internet when Hazbin Hotel gets good reviews: “Hazbin hotel is objectively dogshit, there are no redeeming qualities and if you like it you should kys because you have no media literacy”

when fnaf 2 gets bad reviews: “remember to respect the opinions of others and that all art is subjective 🥺☺️”

People who are stuck in the pilot of Hazbin *really* need to move on. Either you want to be here, or you don't. If it's the second one, you NEED to get over the fact that ur fanfic wasnt canon, NEVER WILL BE and get on with your life. Find a new story to engage with.

Its giving *pathetic*
What the fuck

That looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen lmao
