There's a reason generative AI became so readily adopted by fascists: neither the companies who created it nor the fascists who use it care about art beyond the end product. Tech oligarchs just want easy profit, fascists just want easily generated propaganda. Everything else is meaningless.

It's a fascinating look into the effort to drum up consent for an unprecedented crackdown on American cities.

The fact we only have the Sonic OVA soundtrack because some guy thought "maybe I can look through the credits & just ask each person who worked on it politely" is really funny to me.

There are a variety of videos on YouTube going over the idea that “they don’t make em like they used to” and the reality is that they often do, but you’re going to pay an inflation adjusted price for it. $20 in 1975 is $120 today.

We’ve become accustomed to incredibly cheap goods.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

thank god the red zone channel started running commercials. when it was commercial-free i'd get to 7:30 p.m., look at how i'd spent my day, and realize i'd burned through an entire sunday without growing or developing at all as a consumer. and if i'm not a consumer i'm nothing at all

I offered my 2 year old a banana and he went "Wait! Have to put book away!" and then put his book away in the right place before stumbling over mumbling banana over and over. This kids a genius I'm so cooked he'll usurp me in weeks at this point. I don't even always put my stuff away right.

Monumental fumble in terms of turning this from 2D art to a 3D model. Like, astronomical. In no world is this the same character. You guys didn't even try.

the thing is it's genuinely impossible to tell because nintendo's execs use moon logic so much

Four Sword Adventures selling bad led Miyamoto to decide people would only enjoy Zelda if they changed the control scheme, so they made Phantom Hourglass

Not trying to jump in but I completely disagree. I think it being Silent Hill is great and is clearly being done as you said, with a ton of good intention.

🎨Bayonetta's character designer, Mari Shimazaki made Miary Zo's Costume 03!

“The combination of a green base with red accents was inspired by the Madagascar flag, and from an early stage onwards, a white inner layer was incorporated to highlight Miariz's dark skin.”

That green base wasn't the only color that ended up looking washed out in the final design
