Have you tried Callipeg as well? That one is my go to and I'm curious how they compare.

My favorite part of 2D sonics is finding secret parts of levels by keeping up your speed and getting Big Ups. The higher you go the more fun stuff you find.
I would love more of that.

A few more! Kept busy while watching a lot of Elden Ring Bingo Brawlers this weekend. Doing character design and boards at the same time is actually kinda fun. It gets me posing the character instead of drawing endless floating heads.

I was going to make time for it this weekend but it's so close to releasing anyway, and I'm 100% going to buy it no matter what. I'll just do the boring adult thing and wait 😩

I gotta see this please lol

"But sweetums, America is in.... Africaaaaaaa!"

Another good take from you lol. They destroyed the housing market and brought out the worst in people!

Nah this is a good take! This should not be an extreme take, this is just necessary for society to continue as we adapt to climate change.

Maybe try INVESTING more in that community that you are depriving of junior level jobs? Host workshops at local schools. Train these kids so they have AI handling knowledge and can compete. Don't just sit there with your pockets turned inside out.

I was insulted that they even asked this. Don't they know? Don't they have a plan? No, they don't.

Think of it this way: as a company invests more in AI, they also de-invest in their own community. There is a societal cost to using AI due to workforce reduction and it should be on them to solve it

The plagiarism problem doesn't even factor into half the stuff that is now mislabeled as "AI". So I guess my thesis is don't let the phrase do more than annoy you. There is useful stuff to gain here.

Even for GenAI, if I could train one on ONLY my own art, I would feel comfortable trying that!

What would REALLY help is if we stopped calling 1,000 different things "AI". Tools and filters that we have all used for decades are now being called "AI" instead of "a tool". It's so annoying. It drives me crazy.

Someone at a TED talk made the point that if we let all these "democratize art" soulless techbros control the infancy of AI, instead of including ourselves, then yeah it's gonna be a bad time. Make AI be useful. Don't stick your head in the sand.

I am really saying all this out loud for myself lol

Also I will never forget Dinobot saying "From now on I shoot my dinner salad before I eat it!" Like Bro, you eat? And furthermore bro, you eat SALADS? I know he isn't a real carnivorous dinosaur but this always made me laugh.

I've always admired how well BW balanced the serialized plot and character arcs, which are sometimes kind of heavy, with all the slapstick goofiness. It was a fantastic blend of both.

This was a great read, thank you Bobby.

UPN at its peak.

At some point some a tiny object dinks off their ship's reflector shields and it turns out to be Captain Olimar in The Dolphin. This event causes Pikmin 5.
