I think Silksong is a pretty cool guy. She kills bugs and doesn’t afraid of anything.

Yeah, time for me to get some spare parts so I can give CachyOS or Mint a proper run on my win10 workstation. Chicago95 themes looking real tempting too.

shoutout to newgrounds being the last mainstream bastion of good internet

newgrounds to their credit has banned all genAI stuff, and they have a good article up on how to hear (or otherwise detect) genAI music, worth reading!: www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in...

very fond of this extremely succinct and dry but lethal description of genAI music 🔥

a screen from newgrounds. the text is as follows:
How to Detect AI on the Newgrounds Audio Portal

By Quest and ADR3-N

The Rise of Generative AI

As generative AI (GenAI) tools have become more accessible, Newgrounds has received an alarming amount of AI-generated audio content. This “music” lacks the spirit and creativity of genuine, human effort and degrades the quality of the Audio Portal with cookie-cutter tracks that essentially sound the same. Furthermore, GenAI songs represent a certain amount of legal risk to our site, as AI models are trained on copyrighted material without consent.

Unused Spiral Knights concept : 2014

Similar to the prior, 'Lizardmen' was an attempt at making a fighter class monster for the Beast family.

Probably the last monster model I made for SK before leaving the project. Sadly, I don't have shots of the status/element type textures.
