I'm in my element. It's soup season, which means I made a big pot of Vegetable Soup for lunch all week.

With all these 1UpArcade cabinets and other similar arcade revival repros the past ten years, can we finally get someone putting these bad boys back into production?

Playing that new Crash Bandicoot rom hack for Super Mario World. 86 original levels, new abilities, 16-bit versions of the PS1 soundtrack. Really solid game!

YouTube video by Johnny Hammond - Topic Tell Me What To Do

Been on a Johnny Hammond kick lately. His mid-70s stuff is a great entry point for new listeners. By that point, he had fully embraced other genres in his wheelhouse and was firing on all cylinders with some real Funk-infused Jazz Fusion.

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

i watched the new pixar movie and felt like Ai aesthetic bc they rip of pixar so much. i will never forgive Ai for harming real art like this. It should be a crime what they did to dropping 8% yellow on top of your colors. it used to be a cool trick.
