At this years SPIEL I was able to pick up a Canis Rex Model, and just this evening I did the last few touches on it.
And with this guy as a Free Blade, I have finally hit the standard 2k pts for my #40k Army

It really needs to be pointed out how every one of these embarrassing statements is made by a c-suite executive and not an artist or even art department lead
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Unreal Engine, and the hidden pitfalls of Blueprints
Hello!
Blueprints are useful, quick, and easy to use once you get used to them.
Event graphs are incredibly helpful to creating certain gameplay, cross-function references are particularly useful in certain scenarios.
However useful and quick Blueprints are, there are quite a few hidden pitfalls that can unintentionally cause avoidable

AI is a plague on humanity. Countless lifetimes will be spent explaining that AI chatbots fundamentally do not tell true and accurate facts. Those who cite AI as a legitimate source of information forfeit the right to be taken seriously.

Seeing game devs take a "the customer is always right" approach to feedback is so sad because like I get it from a PR perspective, but...
1) The customer is always wrong
2) Your customers are gamers, so they're twice as wrong

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI
I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour
