noise pollution causing actual real physical health problems in humans is one of those things that sounds fake but isn’t

kind of incredible that I wrote a book where a castle falls on JK Rowling during a fictional apocalypse and if anything I was way too kind and generous about her motivations

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

this kind of political blackmail tactic falls on it’s face when you’re discussing people that DHS had to remove the sit up requirement to hire. we’re talking about cutting loose an entire class of washouts, not demobilizing competent and experienced personnel.

hey, elected officials? nobody who says anything like revamp or reform or rehabilitate or retrain ICE has my vote. i don't want ICE 2.0. i don't want "hurt and terrorize and murder and abduct my neighbors but in a more socially acceptable way." get them fucking gone and maybe we'll talk

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

Swen Vincke @LarAtLarian Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do. I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists. We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison. I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more: https://gamespot.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-dev-embraces-machine-learning-for-tasks-that-nobody-wants-to-do/1100-6531123/ We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.

This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

Yeah I think I like it more than Age of Calamity entirely because of the TOTK specific inclusions. And the mechanic changes to better integrate zonai tech

illustrations of Sparky, one of the characters in the new glitch series Knights of Guinevere. He's an older man with very worn craggy skin, a moustache and long greying hair, as well as a missing eye in a dark socket. He wears orange overalls as he leans against something, takes a drag off of some sort of drug inhalant device, holds it in before blowing the blueish smoke out.

an obligatory sparky 😶‍🌫️

THANKS. FOR. WATCHING.
Again and again, thank you for watching and your continued hype for animation made outside of mainstream studios. So proud of our crew, so thankful to work with Glitch, so happy to write next to Zach and JBO.

🧡💚💙

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.
Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like.

I love cherries unfortunately the grocery store I go to only sells the worst cherries on earth. They always taste like rocks

This is mine

Snoop Dog, being scared of a same sex couple in an animated movie, is not very gangster.

My eepy puppy

This literally just happened to my gf too. She logged on for the patch yesterday and her house was gone. She was so upset

When will this app stop crunching the resolution of images

So, we know that Toriel found Susie crying on Gerson's memorial bench in the graveyard when she moved to Hometown... I like to think Gerson was there with her also.

i like to exist comfortably in a spot where i can enjoy a 15-minute northernlion rant about a specific type of person and then also follow it up by just being that exact type of person without shame

Look at my dog she got a haircut yesterday 🩷🥰

Well said!!

For context I made this post because she spent a solid 30-45 minutes fighting the Roaring Knight to get the shadow crystal for me (she actually fought all the DR secret bosses for me lmao)

If my girlfriend got paid to play all the hard parts of video games for me when I got too frustrated, she would be a millionaire. But she's my girlfriend so she does it for free 😏 💖

Live girlfriend reaction:

2025 vs. 2019

Despite taking a few years off from drawing, I think it’s still quite a good jump in improvement
