I dream of the day when most video game publishers will credit the artists who create their animations and will not temporarily prohibit them (aka embargo) from saying that they worked on these animations...

A repost of a drawing I did of my OC Sidca. He’s lunging forward in a distorted perspective. His yellow sleeveless hoodie buffeted by the wind rushing past him. He’s a strong grimace on his face as if about to enter combat. He’s probably one of my favorite OCs and I probably should draw him some more.

The Butlerian Jihad starting at the end of 2025 with iShowSpeed at the forefront was not on my bingo card:
Creator IShowSpeed sued for allegedly punching, choking viral humanoid Rizzbot | TechCrunch
The lawsuit alleged that — and the livestream video shows that — Speed repeatedly punched Rizzbot in the face, put it in a chokehold, at one point pinned it to the couch, and threw it to the ground.

Hey you
A white stoat wearing an elegant tweed suit with a red vest. He holds a lantern out, autumn leaves swirling at his ankles, while an banner flutters over his head that reads "Unclench your jaw."

Hironobu Sakaguchi, recently, on his X account, has been posting an absolute treasure trove of design docs and promotional materials from early games. These are early design docs from Final Fantasy 3.

Oh my god what do you mean Soken didn’t even ask for it, Tom basically just went “we heard they were huge fans so we wrote them a song to use however they want”
S"Can you explain? I am afraid I might say things I am not allowed to say" Y "Well... we got sent a song" S "A song from Tom Morello, I was shaking just trying to click on it" Y "Jason and Tom are board game buddies it seems" Y "And Jason mentioned you're a die hard fan" Y "Soken didn't pick this tshirt just for today, he always has a Rage Against shirt" Y "And apparently, he said if thats such a great game with such a nice community, he would make a song for us" Y "And we got sent a song!" S "Isn't that crazy?!" Y "This was about a year ago? Right during the orchestra concert in Saudi Arabia" Y "We were having a cigarette outside the hall and I was listening to the song right there" S "A god wrote a song for us so we had to use it" Y "But we also just can't place it randomly in the game" Y "So we were thinking a lot about where and how to use it" Y "We had to get in touch with the management as well because we literally just got sent the song" Y "And they told us its packed with energy and to please use it... WELL THAT DOESNT MAKE IT EASIER haha" Y "Had to get everything legal sorted, since people are going to stream the content etc. but he told us its not about money and because the community is so great to just use it" S "Guys, this is a really crazy thing" Y "I explained a lot of the scenarios and he just let us have it in whatever way we wanted"

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to
