Been thinking about this since last night. Months have gone by but I'll always carry memories of this experience. So I want to thank the people who understood why we held out, who spoke up in support, and who responded with grace and kindness when one of the heaviest blows of my career landed.

Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including:

"Efficiency in Image and Material Generation
With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes."

Something to keep an eye on.

Examples of 2D artwork and 3D models that demonstrate how the AI would allow them to see how models would appear when translated from one to the other

It's good to have different interests sometimes between video games, sports or even graphic design (as my major)

makes you think that life can be enjoyable if you have so much fun what you like! 🤗✨️

I'm tired. We're all tired. This isn't hard to understand. You can't inflate prices of basic necessities like food and housing to ridiculous highs while keeping wages at poverty levels, then act surprised when luxury goods/services and large purchases become unattainable or payments unaffordable.

But seeing ppl do it out of spite for Hoyo is funny, just imagine if Hoyo takes the Nintendo route and starts suing everyone lol.

Sage @sagearts.bsky.social · 2h

Seeing ppl claim Hoyo characters as their OCs now because of their recent decisions is one of the greatest things I have ever seen.

It’s like watching people adopt and rescue an animal from a abusive owner in a way.

Ofc Hoyo still owns the characters for IP reasons.

Before you tell a disabled person it’s their family’s responsibility to care for them… remember that not everyone has family.

What’s more, disabled people are far more likely to be trapped in abusive relationships.

Better social supports would help them break free.

None of the pro-Mihoyo peeps who swore up and down that they'd never use A.I. will say shit, because they've got *nothing.*

And if they do say anything, it'll be some variation of, "Good! This will make things cheaper abd easier!" Prolly with some, "Fuck voice actors, they suck anyway!"

Y’know, I thought about streaming on Twitch at one point, but that’s now changed.

I decided that I didn’t want to stream on there after they let Emiru get assaulted by not lett her have a security guard.

And now gifts Ironmouse had for fans staff failed to give out.

Fuck Dan Clancy.

When a company tells you who they are. Believe them. And when actors go on strike against a company and tell you explicitly why? Believe the actors.

And like clock work HOYO fans are trying to use the "HOYO its a multi billion company they would never use AI, it would make them look bad!" argument.

You wish it was a joke but really live and die for a company that dosen't give a shit about them.

Funny how they still use “Tech Otakus save the world”.

More like “Tech Otakus destroy the world”.
