Gonna be honest, I was never more scared then when they presented that bench with almost no fanfare. I thought for sure I would sit on it and an extra phase of the boss fight would start.

Kenny Who?

Writers John Wagner & Alan Grant and artist Cam Kennedy saw the potential dangers of AI art back in the mid-80s. Dredd stories were always prescient but this one hits hard today. See also America.

Whenever sites come up with new rules like this I thing about how if you were a creator who was making something every bit on the level with a hugely popular and acclaimed series, would you be allowed to share it? Like, if you were sitting on the next Game of Thrones, you couldn’t share that here.

Out TODAY! For less than a pack of Magic cards, and available digitally!

If you want Magic media outside of web fiction, this is your chance to show them.

If you're a lore fan: buy it, don't just read a summary from someone who did.

"When we use generative AI, we consent to the appropriation of our intellectual property by data scrapers. We stuff the pockets of oligarchs with even more money. We hand over our autonomy, at the very moment of emerging American fascism."

It's not a huge reason to get the whole pack, but UFO50 plays around with more retro, awkward control schemes in some of its designs. Barbuta and Mooncat are standout examples.

Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio had a budget of $35 million and every single character was moved one frame at a time by a human being. What the fuck are we even doing!!!!!!!

A bunch of nasty foes you might encounter along your way :

Sketchbook pages depicting a few fantasy inspired ennemies. from top left to bottom right : a tiny wizard, a great harpy covered in gold jewelry, a fly-guy thief, a bullfroag in armor with an axe, a regular harpy, a barbarian toad, a frog assassin with a scar on his face and a classic goblin bandit.

TAKAO★WATANABE🎨10/29～11/3 solo exhibition @watanabetakao.bsky.social · Aug 14

There was a time when there was a “ruins boom” in Japan. Bookstores were filled with related photo collections, and I remember buying some myself. Ruins somehow evoke scenes from the past, and I find their decaying appearance appealing.
