Controversial take but I agree that if you have even center left politics you should be barefoot wearing a barrel with suspenders. You should have a wallet with a single moth and nothing else in it. You should be slicing up a single bean paper thin and eating it slowly on a trash can lid

I need to be connected to a better kpop knower than myself to dissect this crazy NewJeans situation, and to check myself and my understanding to see if I'm being gaslit when I see seemingly real people defend a big corporation in this case, or if that's just part of the weird situation this all is.

This is still my favorite/dumbest thumbnail edit I think I've ever made, and of course it was for Umineko.

My gift to you for Christmas this year is a video of Balming Tiger performing their song Big Butt over and over again for an hour straight live. It’s a work of art.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Speaking of favorite games this year, it’s taking everything within me to not just claim this as my favorite game and completely take the piss out of the sanctity of my annual list.

The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy is probably the best game of 2025 I didn’t get around to playing at all that seems specifically built for me, and that makes me sad.

I just think relying on generative AI in the concept phase of any creative medium is bad and represents a skill issue, and that’s coming from someone (me) who arguably doesn’t have a creative bone in their body.

Everyone who uses AI for content gen tries to justify it with increasingly bizarre mitigations from "we're only using it to prototype", "we're only using it to iterate", "we're only using it to fill in some gaps", "we're barely even using it", "hey it still took us all night", "it's not even good"
