Obvious ai manipulation on the left. Original photo by David Batcheller on the right. Look at the wings, feather shape, head, neck and bill shape, lack of tail etc. This is way more than a filter and absolutely destroys the joy and wonder of the original.

So loads of people are sharing an obvious ai "glow up" of an actual photo. I never share ai stuff even to dunk, but in this case I'm sharing a comparison to show the problem. We have to stand against this slop at every level or it becomes normalised. They want us to stop caring. See alt text.

That's it for my 'Pocket' series for now! I'd love to do more in the future for other games and such but these ones will be hitting my online shop soon after my Curio Covens go out and I get back from ECCC

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

FireRed and LeafGreen are not just the standard roms from 2004, they actually got the build system working and compiled a new build (with still unknown changes) more than 20 years later! Very interested in what changes they made.

pixel art of three fantasy winged snake creatures in the style of the original pokemon. there are both detailed battle sprites and 16x16 overworld sprites for each stage

of course if I made a monster game I would have all of the little guys follow the player, that's a given

I promise not everything in my monsterdex is a snake. this is just the eevee-like neutral creature with multiple forms

The last three books about the Choctaw language & culture that I've bought have *ALL* turned out to be just AI-generated junk🀬

It's genuinely infuriating to see this careless nonsense happening, as it dilutes the actual language and culture and makes it harder for me to learn about my own humanity

Most of the footage of the famous 2000 "Super Mario 128" tech demo was recorded with handheld cameras by the audience, with the presenter drowning out the game sound. Only 10 seconds of direct feed footage exist, which reveal that the sound was a cacophony of Marios screaming.

With the current state of the games industry, I'm very proud that I can say all of the *thousands* of stupid little guys in Monster Crown are 100% human work, from concept to pixel art stages
