i understand that these corporations are beloved by many, but as soon as you start defending their use of AI, even if it's "a little bit", i need you to understand that you are being used as a corporate tool to normalize AI. reject it with all your might. corporations arent your friend.

I adore the work and advocacy of Larian, and wish it extended to respecting and refining the craft used in *all* of their processes, rather than selectively eroding them with AI--especially because it's those refined processes that have produced the games so many loved over their last three titles.

Latest WIP. Having a lot more fun being more loose with it and prioritising my enjoyment over the end goal of "Maybe this will look industry standard!".

Sometimes when painting an anthromorphic character, it drifts towards bara.
One advantage of posting progress images is that you can see areas that really need attention!
Working on encouraging myself to be more comfortable with my art, and yearn less for industry standard.

Meet Rusty, the warforged Druid of Rust. Reflavoured Circle of Spores. They were an automaton for an ancient civilisation's Court. An unknown disaster became the people, and much was lost. This automaton was recently unearthed, and awoke from their millenia-long stasis.

Finished my first Warhammer 40k mini modification.
It's a Spacewolf mech that I felt was rather genetic. So I explored sticking bits if twig from my hedge to add a wicker aesthetic to it. I had fun deciding where to put the wood and carving it to shape.

I bought an LGBTQIA+ Calendar for an Advent Calendar. But there's only 15 days, so I've chosen to wait until the 9th to open it up.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.
Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.
It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.
That’s it.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

how come "realism" in games only applies to shit that sucks and not, for instance, the fact that most flashlights do not actually run out of batteries after 3 minutes, and good quality tools will literally outlive you if you take good care of them

I sincerely think you're an ass if you build a deck with cards outside of the flavour of your deck's colours, in MTG.
The colour identity is one of the fun things about the game. It's very disappointing to homogonise. In paper it matters less because of the social feedback. Arena has no feedback.
