I spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs easier, even if it's just used in "very early ideation stages."

Zero said "yes." Most said it made their job harder.

I learnt a lot about concept artists. You should too!

If anything, you can have a little thing going with Harding *as* the Inquisitor! Sucks that that can't be referenced, lol

I made an animated short film called Dyssomnia, about befriending your sleep paralysis demon. Here is the teaser (sans voice over but you get the gist)

No. They mean trans people. They're talking about trans people. That's what the "weirdness that affects my kids" dog whistle is - this dude is laundering the right wing lie that we are out to forcibly convert cis children. Acknowledge attacks on us and name them.

Well, let's start with the current hyperfixation... #dragonage!

I'm playing Dejana "De Riva", but she's my Amell's daughter with amnesia! And her Old Man Fetish has had interesting consequences!!
