I donโ€™t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine itโ€™s going to a website and typing โ€œoh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go onโ€ as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like โ€œbuy eggs milk bread and a horseโ€

Star Wars' New Prequel Story Gets 30-Minute Behind the Scenes Look [Exclusive] Penguin Random House has shared a new sit-down interview between the author and narrators of the new Star Wars Outlaws prequel, Low Red Moon.

About two months ago, I got to sit down virtually with Jay Rincon (ND-5) and Eric Johnson (Jaylen) to discuss all things Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon for all sorts of behind-the-scenes goodness and now it's up over at Collider! collider.com/star-wars-ou...

low-poly laws dictate that this rat must be an important character (enviro rats don't get bones nor textures above 32px size).

A low poly rat I made. Thank you

If you see this you MUST open blender and make a low-poly rat. I just did it and it made me happy

1997. My dad and I are playing Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight. Iโ€™ve watched him play games before but this is one of the first times weโ€™re taking turns playing. I already love Star Wars and video games, but this game will awaken a passion and drive that will live on long after this picture is taken.

Just checked - very interesting. Do I need my own server, or is it provided? This is all a jungle to me haha.

Actually - sorry, but what is "VPS"? Does this imply that one needs their own server or storage?

It looks real intriguing although it might be 2 scary 4 me. I could handle 4 remake and Village but not 7.

So, if one were to want to start doing version control for a project at home so that it can be collaborated on... Where would one start? I have no idea. Is perforce available for personal use? Does it come with a cost? Help.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters theyโ€™ve created.

The stories theyโ€™ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They donโ€™t.

Tell. Them.

This is a very important quote from the interview that I hope every single company hoping to capitalize on the gaming industry reads and internalizes. Games are a unique market, and you can't just apply strategies from other industries and find success. This has been proven time and time again.

A pixel art rendition of Link's House from the beginning of Ocarina of Time. The perspective is similar to a diorama or an isometric view. Link is sleeping in his bed with Navi floating next to him. Saria and her fairy are waiting at the base of the tree that Link lives in.

The video game industry decided to discontinue their product, the video game, in exchange for trying to make Fortnites. They have in recent years found out this doesn't work, so they have pivoted from making Fortnites to making ????????????????? nothing I guess

It's really interesting what artworks stick with people.

My pikachu pug (pugachu) has been mentioned most so far.

I drew that while playing with the "Disney flour sack" concept, was reminded of pikachu, then thought, "what if pug?" Haven't drawn a pug body like that since. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Sorry to get radical but I donโ€™t think itโ€™s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I donโ€™t like any part of it, so I wonโ€™t. Iโ€™m missing out? Good, thatโ€™s what I want. Youโ€™re worried about me missing out? Thatโ€™s fuckin weird, man.

Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.
