Exotic Animal Photo Reference Repository

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. Itโ€™s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Epic made provably incorrect statements about the gameโ€™s content, refused to provide details supporting their claims, and has not shared their claimed AO IARC certificate, which normally includes a link for the developer to appeal. They do not โ€˜love that studioโ€™, they have effectively ghosted us

I've always found horror squeezed between the bricks of Jack's games so I'm very excited to see him go straight to the mortar on this one

A third game by Talha & Jack and this time it's a horror game.

A pixelated screen that says:

!!! Read Before Playing !!!

This game features NO MIDLEVEL SAVES.

You are EXPECTED to FAIL UNTIL YOU LEARN.

I have UNCONDITIONAL PATIENCE for your mistakes, AND SO SHOULD YOU.

GO AHEAD AND DIE.

for my research project, I've been playing a lot of tiny games released in the 2010s by hobbyist devs. those vivid works buried in the history are still worth to look at, teaching us how game making can be simple and dynamic

After total disillusionment with sculpting heads in Blender, Ive decided to use clay for character models from now on. This is my second attempt, and it kinda sucks, but holy shit is it wayyy more fun

remember: grok is generating nonconsensual porn of anyone of any age who posts a selfie, and that's fine and dandy with the payment processors, but if your 3d models or your drawings don't "consent" then youre Fucked

I'm going to be going on about ABIDE a great deal this month. We need to crowdfund the development you see. It's honestly such an exciting project so please help spread the word and support the KickStarter when it comes to be a part of ABIDE's development. www.kickstarter.com/projects/637...
