Obviously, this is amazing BUT the thing I love most, is that it's directly poking fun at the desire/fetish to overanimate overlapping action & smears.
Asking someone of James Baxter's calibre to *intentionally* do this (as well as mess up the spacing on a bounce) is funny in the nerdiest way.

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

The numbers aren't even fucking real; you are intentionally being played by botnets that Twitter itself maintains for false engagement. This has been verified multiple times. It's a fake social media site run by nazis that you are giving your artwork, fandom and writing to support.

I am so serious numbers on your posts aren’t worth getting doxxed in what is now just mini 4chan.
The lack of a working block was always a safety issue, this is just the repercussions.

Don't use AI to generate placeholders. I scribbled a bunch of crap in MSPaint for placeholders and original concept ideas and it works better. You know why? Cause it's funny and actual art. Make it now and make it better later or whatever it says under a Snapple bottle cap.

It needs to be treated as importantly as "no animals were harmed during the making of this film"
Because yeah, for a time? Animals got harmed and people accepted it as a part of the process. And it was wrong.
So is this, and it needs to stop.

Saw this adorable French animation ad and I had to share it over here! The style looks familiar but I can’t my finger on what group it is. Any ideas?
