One of my fav things are the rough sketches from old masters. A lot of character in simple lines. This reminds me of those.

Iโ€™m seriously impressed by all the hard surface rigging on display here. #gameart #gamedev

This is maddening. Imagine finding out that you paid for a service that then just automated damage to your reputation without your permission or knowledge. Also I wonder if the support was AI or if it is outsourced to a company that is completely disconnected from anyone who can solve the problem.

Those look like a pair of white heelsโ€ฆ for space!

I dunno, that tanuki looks pretty capable.

I sometimes make jokes about load-bearing wallpaper in old renos, but this sounds like a real life case.

And and, I learned the more common name for them here is โ€œlingโ€

And we should have eaten it instead of releasing it because they are supposed to taste like lobster.

Actually, it may have been a burbot and not a catfish.

Out on the ice of lake Nipissing at 1:30AM and I bring in a big catfish. My buddy notices that it has two lines in its mouth. At the other end of that line is my other fishing rod that got yanked down the hole before anyone could grab it - at 5PM earlier that day. Buddy knew weโ€™d get โ€˜er back.

I didnโ€™t even think I could get pieces of the metal sign so I never tried. My best score was one of the huge Les Mis posters from the interior. And of course I bought some of the hand painted signs when they sold them off.

I didnโ€™t know that happened to the sign. I assumed it would have been treated with more dignity. It was a landmark. Was glad to have picked up a few mementos before the closing.

Actually curious to hear it regardless. I feel like the turn-of-the century adult swim mainstreamed ugliness (not used pejoratively) in a way that felt new, exciting, transgressive, etc.

If it involves Master Shake and Rockzo the Clown, Iโ€™m in.

#gamedev and #gameart problems are just an opportunity to learn something new... and I feel like I am constantly learning... ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Canadian media is weird and I think we should throw more money at it.

I think there was a channel on the GIG discord with peoples handles but I had trouble keeping up because not everyone who posts goes to the hangouts

I wonder if the old guy who handled the pizza pans with his bare hands is still working.

Pinterest is both a source and destination for Gen AI. As time goes on, it will become less and less useful due to Gen AI inbreeding. Itโ€™s already become way less useful to human users because the vast majority of search results are AI.

I have never tried a retail unit. It looked so nice.

The whole sales pitch for Gen AI is comical: a product to do a poor approximation of a thing the customer didnโ€™t care about enough to learn. Iโ€™m sure theyโ€™ll be eager to pay for that thing that lets them do a lot more of that thing they have no passion for.
