Random Encounters

The Warlock logo with a bunch of draconic text in ritual circles that reads like gibberish.

This next one was easier to translate because the letters were the right way. But the words are a bit silly.
This is either magic words or the names of dragons - maybe some other kind of baddies like a beholder.

But it's late. I'll keep translating them tomorrow.

A still from the Warlock trailer with draconic text that reads " SYVRIM REALMS 123"

I started to translate the Draconic text in the @warlockthegame.bsky.social trailer.
This first one didn't make any sense until I mirrored the image.

Then it clearly said "Syvrim Realms 123".

Could be the name of the new world the game is based in.

Um... is that the Eye of Vecna?!!!!

"Take on the role of Kaatri, a veteran warrior, in a new 3rd-person action-adventure set in a dark fantasy open world inspired by D&D. Make a pact to wield forbidden magic to overcome a wide range of challenges. "

From the game description on warlockthegame.com

Be defiant. Bend the rules. Tread where others fear.

Disney-OpenAI Deal/Google “SAG-AFTRA will closely monitor the deal and its implementation to ensure compliance with our contracts and with applicable laws protecting image, voice, and likeness. “SAG-AFTRA members are very focused on the rapidly expanding use of intellectual property and individuals’ likenesses and voices by generative A.I. tools, and SAG-AFTRA remains vigilant about any such uses. “We acknowledge Disney’s and OpenAI’s independent outreaches to us on this matter and their assurances that they will meet their contractual and legal obligations to performers and continue to implement systems to ensure ethical and responsible use of this technology.

“This comes after months of frank discussions between SAG-AFTRA and OpenAI about the protection of performers. The ongoing dialogue reflects a significant commitment to taking SAG-AFTRA members' concerns into account in the protective measures applied to image, likeness, voice, performance, and intellectual property rights generally.

“In addition, we join in the objections raised in Disney’s formal demand letter to Google, putting the company on notice that the mass infringement of copyrighted works must stop. We equally object to the abuse of performers’ images, likenesses, and performances through its systems. Their output guardrails and technical protections are inadequate and must be significantly strengthened. When a platform is told that its tools are enabling large-scale copyright infringement and voice and likeness misappropriation, it has an obligation to act quickly and effectively. SAG-AFTRA expects Google and all AI providers to close these gaps and align their practices with both the law and the rights of performers and all creative talent. We know that they can, and we demand that they do.

“SAG-AFTRA members are the faces and voices who entertain and inform the world. Their talent and performances have given life to a century of inspirational human creativity and artistry. AI tools must always be employed with full transparency and the informed consent of the performers.”

Fake council signs pop up around Christchurch – and the real council is delighted The official looking signs have been appearing around the city, but the person responsible calls it "well-behaved mischief".

My hot take on them is that PJ doesn't actually like Hobbits.

Oh?

Dinner. But you're cleared to have 2 desserts.

A black four-sided die (d4) is embedded in soft carpet, showing the number 4 on its upward-facing faces. The meme text reads: 'You stepped on a LEGO? That's adorable.'

Think stepping on a Lego hurts? Try stepping on a d4! The real pain comes when your pride takes critical damage.

I rebased this classic warlock (need to give it a new spearhead). And I fixed the legs of these two War Walkers. Gotta craft a weapon mount for the formerly blue one, seems simple enough to do but I wonder how it will look. It miss a second weapon too.

A painting of a street barricade where peoples are standing on. Two are holding red flags and some characters are playing music on their instruments. The focus is on the main character with a top hat in the middle who play accordeon. In front of the barricade the street is flooded. The mood is like a city at night, it quite desaturated with some cyan and touch of purple.

I had a great conversation about Draw Steel, art description, accessibility, and much more with @jondenor.com a few months ago, and there is now a transcript along with the episode! I really, really enjoyed this chat and think we touched on a lot of great stuff.

I *think* this was only a 1/4 page, so relatively small.

Feels like an archive dive, but this was published in 2024. What even is time!?

I might watch it for the ads if they did that.
