Can’t argue with that, TBH.

"Manosphere"... you mean this thing?

You should! It’s a lot of fun; I like to call it the “tag team wrestling” of Castlevania. 😂

This and Portrait of Ruin. No joke, they were both smooth rides. I think the Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions book might be a close third.

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

Hrm, the plot thickens — it appears several book listings on LibGen have incorrect crediting, which means the list of books Anthropic mined may be WAY bigger than authors know. I found several of my old Brady Games books on there, incorrectly credited.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

It appears several book listings on LibGen have incorrect crediting, which means the list of books Anthropic data mined may be WAY bigger than authors may know. I found several of my old Brady Games books on there, mis credited. Any idea how we may compensate for that?

This cut was a REAL challenge!

For Nocturne Episode 3, we wanted Edouard to have a brilliant felt coat with a pattern, but drawing that would be very complex. In his big turnaround shot, I put in a lot of care to make the pattern have shape and dimension. Lotsa steps went into that. Take a look!

Friends, we got a call to action 👇

We have the right to know when and how our creative works are used, especially when it comes to GenAi!

This is why we need regulation like California’s Ai Copyright Transparency Act #AB-412 !

If you agree, especially if in CA, please sign & share this petition!

Let’s Be Clear: Artists & Creators Must Have Transparency NOW!

Every single day we don’t have transparency, the value of copyright loses ground and the harms inflicted to creative industries grow. California has always been on the forefront of policies that can ...

8 years ago I didn't have a single clue of what I was getting myself into. 8 years later and Castlevania—the games, the shows, and everything in between—is one of my most favorite things in the world.

Huge thanks to @samueldeats.bsky.social, @adamdeats.bsky.social, and the entire Powerhouse crew ❤️

I can’t believe I slept on Run with the Wind. It’s shaping up to be my favorite sports anime, I think? It’s at least up there with Haikyuu season 2…

Update: The bill passed the Senate and is headed back to congress!

Unsure if this amendment passed or no, but start calling your house representatives to say NO to the ban of statewide regulations for AI! States should be able to regulate GenAi tech!

Better scripts will soon emerge so stay tuned!
