Forbidden Cat

I will never pass up posting a large witch's hat.

Also, Epic tends to have massive sales running from November through end of December and you can stock up on assets that are normally quite pricey.

Oh, fear not! UE assets can be exported to various formats from inside the engine that Blender can open, like gLTF.

it's crazy that if you're a cat, your only two life outcomes are eating out of a trash can or getting treated like a little baby

Ultra Unreal Asset Mega Pack Unearth the ultimate bundle of Unreal assets. Pay what you want & support No Kid Hungry!

Humble's got this one going on now:

Epic gives away free assets every month! Go get em!
They include environments often and there's one right now.
I've been collecting Unreal and Unity assets for almost a decade now and have nearly 10,000 between Epic, Art Station, Unity Asset Store, Flipped Normals and other shit I've long forgotten.

I'd like to add that setting up rail cameras is absolute hell. Took me hours and hours to get paths juuuust right with smooth turns.

Thanks! Finally those Humble Bundle asset collections came in use! This uses three different sets including the Dekogon fantasy castle, Meshingun Gothic Interior and some old one (4.26) that's a mage thing. I set up rail cameras, particle systems, and some extra things here and there for recording.

At some point I fell into yet another internet rabbit hole and here I am making a... #vtuber. This is a first draft of the intro for my youtube channel where I'll be reading #ASMR. Made w/ #UE 5.6, quick edits in Davinci, some AE, etc.

Here's how we handle manchildren on the Steam forums at No More Robots:

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, I PROMISE.

A knight with a pointy metal hat/face guard, draped in red dragon wings, holding an axe with fire at its top, and a small drake on its paldron. Stands on multicolored rocks, as flames ignite at his feet. Deep shadows contrast the vibrant reds in this dark fantasy inspired character design.

There is a keep, deep in the mountains, rumored to be protected by fierce warriors that wear dragon wings like armor. Some say they’re dragons in human form, but no one has ever gotten close enough to find out if the rumors hold true.

I know I'm going to want this as a print large enough to cover an entire wall.
Then I want it on every wall I have.

THIS ANIMATION IS SO INSANE

My god...

So... I'm gonna be a bit more blunt today in regards to AI usage in the TTRPG space.

The harder it is made for folks using AI to find acceptance and gain traction, the less of it we will see.

This means blocking them on Social Media, and reporting them on sites where they sell their trash.

Here's a rough prelim of a bounty hunting supplement for #CY_BORG that I'm making. Probably going to give her a metal leg or something. #ttrpg #cyberpunk

Compare Vonnegut buying an envelope with this tech bro running from his life

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process: - data centers pollute our environment - energy use drives up costs - content theft robs creators of income - the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages - using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence - the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

WeTransfer just changed their TOS giving themselves permission to train AI on any content you transfer and produce derivative works based on content you transfer that they are allowed to monetize and you are not allowed payment for.

Stop using WeTransfer.

Just Say No To GenAI.

Love this as much as I love standing at the door as Revenant and holding a sword three times my size.

There are so many fucking grifters out there and not a single goddamn one of them knows what the fuck they are talking about, about the history of art or photography or its intersection with technology. They don't care about how the best photographers have a relationship to the people and places and things they take photos of, that the intent must be laser sharp and pointed especially in the moment of capture. They don't give a shit about the differences between different kinds of cameras, lenses, or how film develops colors in a way that your iphone flattens. Just say some bullshit about how "realistic painters thought they were going to be replaced too," without any idea of what that means. Monet?? Impressionism? Post-Impressionism? Much of that art movement comes out of influence and cultural exchange with Japan and East Asia, not some fear of being replaced by photographers. Be so fucking for real. These people cannot fathom artists being inspired by other artists, though. We are just arbitrary talking points distilled into reactions that never happened in response to new technology. I wish Monet could have beaten your ass with a tire iron.

"artists reacting to ai are the same as how painters reacted to photography" i keep seeing this take and want to commit violence for real

Marketing is our passion.

A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.

Time to post it again.
