I have been making digital art since the days you had to plot pixels out on graph paper and hand-calculate their hexadecimal value to poke screen memory addresses while some old guy tells you the computer does all the work. https://linktr.ee/erickveil

I bit the bullet and cranked out the last nine images for my game. They are not good, but they are done. And I get the same amount of dopamine?

The number of times I will use your software tool or app if I have to access it online through a web browser is exactly zero.

Here's a process video of a recent Holiday Vampire illustration I did. I'm generally pretty terrible at documenting my own work in progress, so I'm glad I actually spent the time to record this one. #grickledoodle #vampire #holiday #horror #cartoon #art #drawing #funny

Watching an infosec training and the presenter with only 15 years of experience speaks more confidently about his job than I do with 30 years in mine.

Phobia: Video creators realize that I watch at 2x or greater speed so they accommodate by slowing their content down.

This was one of those scenes where I was eventually all, "Okay. I get it. But at this point you're just running down the clock." It stands out in a show with otherwise good pacing.

I had to zoom in, but I see now the cables hanging to the lower part. You're right!

What bothers me is how off center it is. It's obviously huge and heavy and pivots on those arms, so why are they connected so low? Who made that decision? "Let's design this so it constantly feels like it's going to fall and smash anyone using it." I want to grab the designer by the lapels.

If you use in-home medical devices and/or are medically vulnerable, utility companies can flag your account so that you are prioritized in the event of outages and emergencies.

Call your electric and gas companies and ask what supports may be available to you!

All Sci-fi I read exists in my head as a compare/contrast with Asimov. It's weird to me that this just isn't the case for most people.

The number one most effective thing that you, an individual, can do to fight against AI art right now this very moment is to buy art from a human. Go. Fight the fight.

So apparently NINJA SCROLL got added to the "Classics" section of the Berlin International Film Festival.

granted, we knew it was true cinema when we saw this for the first time:

Another good read from my public library winter reading program. โ€œThe Tainted Cupโ€ by Robert Jackson Bennett is a mystery that occurs in a fantasy empire. Published in 2024.

You might say it's a... "Flash-back".

I think my favorite homebrew rule that I will take to every game is that humans get the "hangry" ability or trait: The more they're starving, the more aggressive they become in combat.

They already have around six completely different products called "Copilot". What's one more?
