A digital illustration of two hands with long nails emerging from a swirling ribbon that says "Smile Now, Cry Never." Each hand is reaching for a D20, one a nat 20, the other a 1. A feathered and furred puppet of an owlbear on a light purple backdrop. The puppeteer is partly visible in the lower left corner, operating the wire for the arm. A photo of a hand holding a cut out valentine of an ouroboros with the words "did you let me die in your arms in the time loop" in the centre. In the background is the rest of the sheet of valentines. A tarot card sticker on a furry blue background. It's an edit of The Fool, but with Odie wearing a jack-o'-lantern on his head.

The weirdly chopped-up week set me off my schedule, but here's this week's blogpost, looking back at some of the embroidery I've done over the years. bzedan.com/blog/a-stitc...
A stitch in some time • B.Zedan
Nearly 15 years ago I embroidered every day. Here's some favourite works from then and how stitching is in my life now.

Thing about using gen AI in your game - to adapt an analogy recently used in argument against me - is it's like having a rotting corpse in your house. The house itself may be structurally sound, but that corpse is gonna stink out the whole joint until you get rid of it.

What's pissing me off about the Anno 117 GenAI use is that this is a really great game (yes, I'm still playing it: I paid for it pre-finding out) that clearly has a lot of love and genuine craft in it.

So why screw the pooch with AI art? Is that really worth it? To piss away all that goodwill?

A three panel comic strip featuring two anthropomorphic canines traipsing about a junkyard. In the first panel, text reads "The best past is one you can learn from." They read from a document and pull a cathode ray tube from an old bowling computer console. In the background, the tail section of an MD-11 airplane looms like a monument. In the second panel, we see them looking closely at a manual laid out of the hood of a Paykan automobile. Text above them reads "The best future is one we build for ourselves." In the third panel, we see them walking away together, with a garden cart in tow filled with the CRT, an airplane seat cushion, a video recorder, and assorted stuff. They walk past a Therac-25 radiation therapy machine. Text above them reads "The best present is a trip to the junkyard."
