I would like to argue that my artwork depicting the end of Aeschylus’s life is just as historically accurate as the average “Death of Cleopatra” painting.

Klaire Lockheart, Death of Aeschylus. 2025. Oil on Canvas. 60x54”.

it's hard not to think about how 5 or 10 years from now, the shooters (and games writ large) we'll be reverently talking about will still be the same ones we talk about now (DOOM 2016, Titanfall 2, etc) because there is no money going around to make new ones of those happen. we are in purgatory.

Last YCH batch from my Halloween sale! Loved to paint the hair for this one using special afro-specific brushes and layering. 🦇

Functionalist approaches measure intelligence by how closely its outputs resemble the human mind. If you constantly recalibrate its outputs to resemble a human mind, you're not creating a thinking machine. You are creating a machine to trick other functionalists.
To me the chatbots pose zero interesting questions about the ‘nature of selfhood’ but dozens about the nature of manipulation. Here the Claude team pretends they are programming the robot for ethical responses but they land on one that is false and disingenuous.

highly doubt any of this is true for the record. they said the same thing about UK and Australian age verification and i know people in their forties who discord couldn't infer were of age. don't buy it
Discord has posted updated clarification:

-Discord is not requiring everyone to complete a face scan or upload an ID to use Discord
-The vast majority of people can continue using Discord exactly as they do today, without ever being asked to confirm their age

Been saying it but pixel art has been used as a way to launder AI for awhile. @thisislux.bsky.social wrote an entire guide on how they used it to replace their entire workflow, and because they did so in 2023, people didn't clock it and dozens of copycats started appearing.
Not to continue stirring up negativity, but it's so depressing how many people are still following this AI "pixel artist"

It is insane how inevitable this felt - that the industry has forced itself into a corner ensuring that every FPS team has to work on a competitive service shooter that has a 99% chance of crashing on launch.
Wildlight (Highguard) lays off staff according to a LinkedIn post

"Unfortunately, along with most of the team at Wildlight, I was laid off today.

This one really stings as there was a lot of unreleased content I was really looking forward to that I and others designed for Highguard."

everything is an investment to players. time. money. and when that thing disappears there's resentment. even if the time spent at the time felt valuable. the slow decline of live service was predated by mobile and mmorpgs (as mentioned by someone in my previous thread). genres that rely on ls.

( deep sigh ) jesus fucking christ how long am i going to have to bang on this drum ITS THE CAPITALISM YOU FUCKING GENIUSES. FIGHTING GAMES CANNOT SURVIVE AS A MODEL UNDER THE DEMANDS OF CRUMBLING TRIPLE A GAME INDUSTRY CAPITAL & CONSTANT DEMAND FOR NUMBER GO UP. THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL
The 2XKO situation just reaffirms to me that Fighting Games need to have single player content.

Haven't seen it talked about in a while, so unfriendly but necessary reminder that Patreon is not being forced by Apple to do anything. Patreon is actively choosing to force Subscription Models, and they said they were going to years ago in a blog post long before the iOS app entered the discussion.
