Improved the hand thanks to feedback from @ptoing.bsky.social, same dude who gave me killer feedback 20 years ago when I was just starting out. God I miss Pixelation, it was a watering hole but also a whetting stone.

A comment I left, which reads:

I've been subbed to you for years, as I've found your videos incredibly helpful. So, it is with great disappointment that I see you are pushing genAI tools.

So, sadly, I will have to remove my sub. I hope you will rethink the use of a tool that is a threat to the livelihood of artists, you included.

This hit me like a brick. Reuben Lara's tutorials are excellent, and have been a great learning tool for me over the years.

So, I was disappointed to see that after not posting anything for ages, he has thrown his hat in with genAI.

A green shell with an orange-red inner part. Small orange to red emissions outside the shell on the bottom and right. Many stars and galaxies are also seen. A star in the center is presumably the WR-star.

You don't need to do this to solve the puzzle.
But you absolutely can.

Try the Phonopolis demo at #SteamNextFest!

We have some really, really cool photos of the Moon.

This is oneβ€”of Malapert massif, one of the candidate Artemis III landing sites.

Taken from an oblique angle by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera on 3 March 2023, the image is about 50 km across in the foreground.

Portraits I made pixel version of for Fixeight Exa Label.
I worked off of new concept/promotional art by Nanpei Kaneko, who also did the promo art and ingame portraits for the original arcade version. Each of the portraits is 16 colours (including the black) and are in 15bit colourdepth. Fun times.

Fascinating application of AI deepfake. A real British doctor called Alex Wibberley has, I assume, deepfaked himself to make medical youtube videos. 1200 videos posted in 2 months. Channel has exploded, almost 200k subs. Weird social media presence, bot accounts... www.youtube.com/@DrAlexWibbe...
