Shadow of the Colossus is quite possibly one of the best written, art directed, designed and concepted games ever made. Can't wait to read through this.

Author-illustrator @joebot.bsky.social Spiotto learned about axolotls through his kids. Spiotto became fascinated by them. He considered facts about axolotls when developing his new graphic novel Max, a Little Axolotl(Graphix)โ€ www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/... @pwkidsbookshelf.bsky.social

Iโ€™m sure he signed a lot of stuff at the end there because he wasnโ€™t in the best of care watching out for his best interests.

I was invited to be a guest at LA Comic Con, but this has me reconsidering my attendance. I just e-mailed my contact and if you're an invited artist, author, cosplayer, etc. I suggest you do the same. This is a disgusting and disturbing use of AI and I hope they shut this down. #LAComicCon

Letโ€™s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trumpโ€™s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesnโ€™t like.

Maybe doing yard work in 95 degree heat wasn't the best idea.

This is so disappointing, what a waste of money, time, effort and an interesting property. Feel so bad for the devs who spent years on this for nothing.

A photo of the book, Moose's Bad Hair Day! On the cover, there is a cartoon illustration of Duck looking terrified while holding one of Moose's antlers and a pair of scissors. In the background, Moose is sitting in a barber's chair made of snow seeming to not quite notice his head is missing an antler.

Just the type of person you'd expect to use AI art to sell at a booth a convention.

For folks at Dragon Con, the artist alley booths to avoid are A10, Oriana Gerez, and D2, James C Mulligan. The first seems to be a shell company with little online presence and the second is an ex-Disney artist. Both are being accused of selling works with Gen ai.
