I love this image.

A black and white artwork of a person in armor, standing between tall grass and under a tree. The person looks to the left, seemingly waiting, while holding a long spear. They also seem only be partly human, as long fluffy ears stick out of the side of its head

Waiting

YouTube video by The Blake Box Kirby's Adventure im Retro Review 🩷 Nintendos unterschätzter Klassiker?

Neues Retro Review! Ich greife ganz tief in die Nostalgiekiste und krame Kirby's Adventure hervor. 🫴✨

Das erst zweite Kirby-Spiel war ein später NES-Titel und hat einige Neuerungen gebracht, die das Franchise für immer verändern sollten! 😱 #kirby #retrogaming #review

Ein Screenshot von einem Teaser der Süddeutschen Zeitung. Dort ist ein Schwarzweiß-Foto von Felix Baumgartner in einer Art Raumkapsel zu sehen. Darunter steht: Nachruf auf Felix Baumgartner Der Grenzüberschreiter Der österreichsische Extrem-Fallschirmspringer Felix Baumgartner lotete in seinem Leben nicht nur sportlich immer wieder aus, wie weit man gehen kann. Zum Tod eines einsamen Helden, der sich gelegentlich auch mal verrannte. Von Korbinian Eisenberger und Martin Zips

Nein, liebe SZ. Felix Baumgartner hat sich nicht 'gelegentlich auch mal verrannt', er hat faschistische Positionen vertreten, frauen- und fremdenfeindliche Aussagen getätigt, FPÖ und Identitäre Bewegung unterstützt und die auf Ärgste beleidigt, die ihm widersprachen.
Sowas macht kein "Held".

I wouldn’t bet on it, sadly. 🙁 I’ve confronted them about it over 8 months ago, and all they did was block me and continue as if nothing happened.

Tbh I was kind of surprised it didn't snowball

Art theft this blatant should be called out, and we shouldn't rest until crumpie has no platform whatsoever anymore

how do you feel as part of the pixel art avengers

Or they'll just cut out the middleman and generate the AI slop they trace over themselves.

Absolutely! Either traced or just shameless recolors from other pixel artists.

I'm convinced there is a handful of original pieces on their account tops – and for those we can't find via reverse image search, we just haven't looked hard enough.

Seems like they deleted their AI-traced Meowth over in the other place. Must've hurt with 52K likes and thousands of retweets.

Now the usual patterns begins: once they're caught, they delete the images we've proven are stolen, lay low for a while, then continue as if nothing happened. Infuriating.

THE DEMON TIDES 2.0 DEMO IS LIVE NOW!

Massively improved performance, new content, gameplay & cutscene polish, new graffiti features and so much more. Check out the huge patch notes below and tell your friends to check it out!

I don't get this. They seem to be very actively engaging with their followers, and building some sort of community, esp. over in the other place.

Why would you do that if it's all built on stolen art? Where's the benefit?

100 % agree, great thread!

Also wanna note that there is merit in making game design decisions that align with your overall vision of the game, even if its uncomfortable.

Silent Hill 2's deliberately clunky combat is meant to make the player feel powerless and greatly contributes to the atmosphere

There's some traditional game design advice that rotates around satisfying players and removing feel-bad moments. I think a lot of that advice is stuff I've taken to heart and continue to do so in my own game design journey.

However . . . I think this can also get in the way of great design. [1]

Yep, their "artwork" usually falls into one of three categories:
- Traces of AI-generated images on Pinterest
- Traces of traditional artwork without credit for the original artists
- Lazy palette swaps of other pixel art with minor edits (color, composition, background)

This is so egregious.

As this is getting some traction (thanks!), please check out @sabakudoesart.bsky.social who not only did the original research, but is a brilliant (and original!) pixel artist.

Entweder Friedrich Merz will die CDU zum Steigbügelhalter der rechtsextremen AfD machen, oder er sorgt dafür, das Spahn zurücktritt (an Gründen herrscht kein Mangel).

Dritte Möglichkeit: Er würde Spahn gern los, ist aber zu schwach.

Andere Möglichkeiten gibt es nicht.

Lowest price ever, my friends! Get it while it's hot! 🥵

He’s surprisingly good today.

I wanna be personally responsible for all the bad writing in my games, thank you very much. Why would I let a large learning model have any of the fun of wilfully inspiring a groan?

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

Bluesky is funny because I can’t recall any other platform where its growth is explicitly tied to the collective hate for one person.

Conjuring up some Chantal Akerman energy. 🙌

This is the canon ending. Nobody can convince me otherwise!

This is the precise reason I usually dislike games with multiple endings. I’d rather have an ending I don’t like than a dozen of them that don’t fit the narrative at all.
