That is kick arse.

4 panel comic P1: a right hand draws a wavy stroke on a sketchbook page. A caption box up top reads "draw" P2: the word "CREATE" dominates a panel with a black background, forming in the negative space. Various small shapes surround it. P3: a lone simplified humanoid figure is on the bottom right of a another panel with a black background. A thought bubble forms above their head, the words "if not for others, then at least for yourself" within. P4: The Earth dominates the bottom of the panel, with a sliver of space above it. Clouds swirl and boil across the Earth, which is the only element on the entire page coloured a pink-red. A caption box above reads "now, more than ever"

Nice.

Dune sequel is looking great

The feeling of sheer satisfaction I got when I started a second file, and in the first hour got to a point that took me fifty hours to get to in my first playthrough.

This is your annual reminder that the Time Person of the Year award is NOT meant as an endorsement, for example they gave the award to Adolf Hitler in 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, and 1943 (when the magazine was renamed Hitler Monthly)

I'm going back in time to slap an abacus out of a Sumerian's hand.

They absolutely do this on purpose.

6 panel comic P1: a guy. The guy stands beside a small round table with a single vase on top. P2: Suddenly, A Guy shoves the vase off P3: A Guy's head tilts, just so, as the vase shatters on the ground P4 A Guy, hands behind his back, saunters off, whistling to himself P5: we remain on the scene of the crime for a moment before-- P6: --we cut to a copy of Time magazine. On the cover is an image of A Guy, shrugging his shoulders. Above the Time logo are the words "Person of the Year"

We really need to double down on outwardly labeling our work as not containing AI.

We're seeing it in movie credits and stuff, we have to really start putting it on things we make and pressuring others to label their work as no AI, and normalize that as much as we can, I think

Strange Adventures #79 (1957). The cover shows two snowman wearing top hats who have just emerged from a rocket ship. "Invaders from the Ice World!" There are laser beams shooting from their eyes and one is shouting "Our plan to conquer Earth cannot fail! We are invulnerable!"

Cover art by Gil Kane & letters by Ira Schnapp.

Oh wait, this is an American corporation we're talking about. So, replace "horrifically violent" with "unhinged sex"

If we can't stop people using genAI tools, then they may as well have SoraAI pump out endless amounts of horrifically violent stuff involving Disney characters.

I’m never gonna shut up about how I think the NFT sellout artists paved the way for all this. They showed corporations that there is no moral spine in their most popular and powerful artists. That they will screw over their peers for the most idiotic reason and tech bros saw how it only took fake $

4 panel comic starring a character that is absolutely not Mickey Mouse. It starts with Not Mickey waving to us with a big smile on his face, standing in a pleasant looking meadow. After an "AW HAW," he greets us by saying "er, hiya folks!" Panel 2, the POV pans in, so Not Mickey fills the frame. He is now backlit, shifting the mood somewhat. With a hand outstretched, he says "goin' inta this new year, I want ya all ta know sumthin'" Panel 3. NM's face, now looking disturbingly over-rendered, fills the frame, his wide eyes staring into us. He continues: "I OWN you. Right down to your component atoms." Panel 4. NM, back to his loveable cartoon self --hands clasped behind him-- begins to float into the air, leaving a puff of dust in his wake. He is surrounded by a glow of cosmic energy. We finish with him saying "ANYhoo. I'm off ta conquer a third world country."

Ooh, I like this idea! I'll post my own in a bit.

Ah.

I was wondering why everyone was going on about Disney.

Yep!

I will not elaborate further.

Me: right, let's get this thing done, and I can then do something that'll give you the good chemicals

Brain: *SCREAMING*

I saw advice a while back that one of the ways to get through life as an adult is to just give yourself ten minutes to do a thing. Ten minutes.

It's decent advice, but it requires not having a magpie brain.

me taking more time thinking about wrapping presents than the time it'd take to just wrap the damned presents

For any of you artists out there who are at a loss with the way things are going right now, just remember Mr. Rogers' words of wisdom.

If Valve had actual competition, they might be forced to deal with stuff like this. Couple that with the way things are going everywhere right now, and I unfortunately don't see them doing anything about toxic users.

Unfortunately, Valve are super Libertarian, and that reflects in how hands off they are with moderating user reviews.

I'd take no user reviews at all if it meant getting rid of behaviour like this.

Something very satisfying about a comic cover that is basically a giant comic panel.

A crude drawing of my swesty face, uncomfortably close up. The eyes look utterly tired and bloodshot. The expression reads as just... done.

He also does that laugh that all plumbers/builders/workmen do.

Sometimes I feel envious about my regular coffee spot's Norm.

Then, I realise how exhausting it would be having to be "on" the entire time I'm in there.
