Aww hell yeah. Anti-AI placeholder art, go.
My artist is still in mockups, and my coder wanted something for spacing, so my placeholder art for a boss camera/PoV is a five minute direction scribble.
Still works just fine

Here's some of my placeholder art, to help inspire people with productive ugly.
There's nothing wrong with the first. It does what it needs to and let folks work on their bits referencing it.
This will get another iteration before it goes in-engine.
You don't need AI.

Evergreen.
I have this taped to my tower.
... admittedly, I should heed it more frequently than I do.

Phantasy Star 2 is one of the games of my heart~
Also US NES version of Ultima 3, mostly sharing because the US boxart being a stylistic redraw of the JP boxart is *amazing* to me, is the third game I ever beat.

Political stress over meds, among others.
My plans for this weekend include a romantic date with one of my partners, as a belated birthday night, and playing some Towa and Hades 2 while I eagerly await FFT's release!
Here's a very pleasant handwriting today.
I've never had my own place: partners!

What's your most annoying video game boss?
THIS MOTHERFUCKER
Man, the energy I felt when I beat this boss was wild. Everyone in the room just burst into manic energy. I absolutely *loved* it.
I'm sad the third game is/was trapped on XBLA, and that it's, apparently, not bonkers as it should be

Starflight (GEN/MD) is among the best Space titles I've ever played. It also has one of the best manuals in gaming.
Star Control 2—and the fan remake The Ur-Quan Masters—is an amazing second place showing.
(Also, Free Stars: Ur-Quan Masters is free on Steam)

To wit: an "unskilled" artist can still make art out of ideas and experience, while an AI 'artist' is either insecure or not so social as to recruit help.
I'm working on a book; dreams are done as graphic pages. I sent this to my crew. It was praised for effort/intent, as placeholder.

My girlfriend is out of town for a week, gone to visit a couple of her partners for her birthday week.
Boyfriend and I are excited to work on our personal projects and enjoy time together each morning!
And I started journaling!

I know there was a korean subway Tesco campaign that had screens as "shelves" for browsing, where you could order the things to be delivered to your house from a QR code… it was pretty neat and very well received (though it was novel, too; this was ~15 years ago).

I've pushed myself so much this last week. I have the next several days without much engagement (dates with two different partners, but both low-key affairs).
So I'm hoping to put some of it towards actual production writing.
But, in the meantime, Boyfriend, Girlfriend, and I all made Pita!

It's been a good few days, productivity-wise. What's not shown here is a couple dozen pages added to my wiki to help organize things, and a beginning of a style guide for consistency.
Which I'm putting here to remind myself of, because sometimes numbers don't look like they should, emotionally~
