This gives such strong 2000AD vibes!

It sucks, because my in area the film industry so heavily uses IG for networking but I wish I didn’t need it.

The Eisenhorn novels are good too

So annoyingly, I’m a filmmaker, and I’m not aware of any poisoning tools for video. Even if there is, my scripts/captions aren’t protected.

And how are we as artists meant to stop the scraping our work?

There was a point in my career where I talked to a creative director at a AAA studio who said he "didn't have hobbies" and self-assuredly said he hadn't played video games since the NES. But he knew "people derived joy from spending money on things they love." That conversation haunts me.

Yes, but that was after 5 years and no plot events. This had been 10 years, several plot events, a whole universe of short stories and comics. They asked us to invest into the current lore, and a rework betrays that. I have no problem with Arcane being seperate but not overwriting what we have.

I’m not even sure it’s possible for this to be canon. So many characters have arcs completely incompatible with the world of the core universe.

It was the Dragon Age 2 Unskippable, which brought me to the sketches, which took me to Loading Time and help me decide on what I wanted my career to be.
