I've found this work spectacularly especially if you setup the generation to just be a handful of dice rolled at once.

I have a creation system similar to this for my homebrew system. Initial roll is Region of birth which gives a sub-table for species type. Region determines the Cultural trades table you roll on. That table has a sub-section for species specific trades for that region.

Classes work similarly.

An AI CEO finally said something honest
(Meta
Dax Raad from anoma.ly might be the only CEO speaking honestly about Al right now.
His most recent take:
"everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code
here's what things actually look like
- your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping
- majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life
- they're not using Al to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend
- the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon
- even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real
- your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills"

Sketchbook open showing an ink marbled inner cover. While nice looking the book cloth cover was cut too short and barely wraps around the edges to the inside of the cover.

Closed sketchbook with a tan book cloth covering. The corners are cut revealing the cardboard underneath. This is due to lack of planning and measuring

Broke my sketchbook today so made a new one from its corpse. Ignore the sloppiness I didnโ€™t measure anything lol.

Recently was asked why I am pursuing art in the time of AI and wouldn't it be easier to just use AI? I'm doing art because it's hard. Difficulty is what make things worth doing, and the skill I develop is real, I can do it with my hands at a whim. In a world of fakes I choose to make something real.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop

And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below ๐Ÿฅน)

A world where humanity was once completely wiped out. At first, the non-human creatures thought it was good that humans were gone, but as time passed, they began to think, โ€œMaybe it would have been better if some had survived.โ€ How ironic.

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK 
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...
