I legitimately had a dentist appointment at "tooth hurty" today but refrained from making the joke because they must hear it every day. The dentist "slipped" with the drill after assuring me I'd feel no pain, and let's just say that went about as well as you would imagine.

What upsets me most about Terraforming Mars using AI art is that it's an established game with millions sold (or at least a lot). They've made money, this isn't some struggling indie trying to afford to make a first game look better. They could afford any artist, they just chose to save a few quid
