Hmm... I'd say my best model of 2025 is Xun'Bakyr, my custom Necron Queen model. It was my first time painting nebula and I really like how it turned out! [ #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday #Warhammer #40k ]

The Owlbear. What is it? Did a wizard make one as a prank? The answers are simple: the owlbear is a flightless griffin species adapted to life in dense forests. The forelegs are covered with downy owl feathers, while the creature's sturdy hindquarters are actually those of a giant lynx!

Bsky can be hard for people to get started on because it doesn't spoon feed you engaging rage bait and it's entirely what you make it. Take control of what you're seeing. Cultivate your feeds. Remember when it gets "boring" that's okay because then you sign off and do better things with your time.

"people can still download your art from bsky and feed it into AI" if gamer behavior has taught me anything, just one extra button press is more than enough to annoy a MASSIVE amount of people into not making the effort

Indie Dev discovers the game they're making basically already exists, worried of being deemed a ripoff. Original dev responds.

Larian's horrible hirring process is an open secret in the industry – insane amounts of unpaid work in "writing tests", excessive numbers of interviews, months and months of back and forth, etc. Everyone in games narrative circles has heard the stories at this point, probably from multiple people.

REFERENCES COME FROM PEOPLE. EVEN IF YOU DON'T CREDIT YOUR INSPIRATION THOSE REFERENCES COME FROM PLACES WHERE SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT ON THINGS LIKE METRICS AND CLICKS. THINGS USING GENERATIVE AI ERASES. YOU ARE STILL FUCKING WITH LIVELIHOODS. THE ROT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN. I'm going to shit and piss

i LITERALLY CANNOT GET A JOB AS A CONCEPT ARTIST ANY MORE BECAUSE OF GEN AI so larian can suck my fucking balls i dont care if its only placeholder shit you're still fucking over your concept artists

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

DO NOT USE ALT TEXT FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR ACCESSIBLE DESCRIPTIONS OF IMAGES AND VIDEOS !!!! THEY ARE AN ACCESSIBILITY FEATURE FOR THOSE WITH ISSUES SEEING AND THOSE WHO USE SCREEN READERS!! I AM ALL CAPS BECAUSE THIS IS AN ANTI-DISABILITY EPIDEMIC IN THIS FANDOM!!!!!!!!

Meta lost $77 billion on this metaverse folly. For perspective, Netflix’s winning bid for the entire Warner Bros studio and its subsidiaries, the IP, the facilities, and all those assets was $82.7 billion. For Meta, that’s “oops, back to the drawing board” money.

More coverage of our 10,000 Game Assets Pack, this time on Dexerto. We really do appreciate all the support everyone is giving this - basically it makes the last year of working on it full time worthwhile & spurs us on to create more assets!! www.dexerto.com/gaming/indie... #gamedev #indiedev

Despite the controversy, Horses is only shocking if you're unfamiliar with the history movies, theater, literature, or basically any art form that does not have stats. aftermath.site/horses-indie-g...

ngl the person who paid $66.60 on my lil goat painting went directly to my bp medication plus high protein foods to manage my diabetic diet. it matters so very fuckin much, thank you to everyone who has gotten somethin from me. yall make a huge impact.

You know, they should pay THE ONION if they're just going to go and rip off their headlines.

I think when you're calling your representatives and/or the Committee majority number, you should be demanding that these bills go through more meetings they need maximum scrutiny and should not be pushed through as fast as possible

i wonder why

What a great headline

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.

Always and forever grateful to my friends and supporters and people for leaving comments. 💜💜💜

If you're new to cooking or don't trust yourself to recognize a bad AI recipe, for the love on god, do not just use random recipes from random profiles. Find trustworthy sites and creators (Serious Eats, NYT Cooking, J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, Alton Brown) and search their archives for what you need.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

OMG please, can we please just have one person say something to him? "What the fuck is wrong with you?" or "You sound like an idiot when you talk like that." or "That's not how math works." Just one person.

In a world that where the establishment celebrates anti-intellectualism and hyper-individualism, the most anti-establishment thing you can do is become an intellectual and work to improve material conditions for everyone

"No one is angry about games not containing gen AI" is such a hell of a good point. It is incredibly off-putting to many customers, an absolute deal-breaker, yet there is no flip side to that, no consumer base clamouring for it, no demand. They can only try to wear people down into accepting it.

technology used to be cool, but now it’s owned by the worst, most moneysick humans on the planet. but there are transsexual furry hackers out there still fighting the good fight

Get a refund. Dont bother I already knew after BO6 that BO7 would be littered with AI, since they were already blatant enough with it in BO6 This is just depressing how triple AAA companies are getting away with all this shit

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

The new hire just told us she never had a Facebook page... Legit felt the room go like this

‼️CALL FOR HELP‼️ I really hate to do this but I’m at the end of my rope since he’s started feeding my art into ai now: If you have a tumblr, can you please help me report and put attention on my racist stalker?

I'll be the fun police. Don't play Arc Raiders. Do better. Play a game with real voice acting.

Four LOST UNIVERSE covers with art by Bill Sienkiewicz.

Playing ffx for the first time- I'm really enjoying myself actually

Drew my friends oc because they've been rotating in my mind like a Microwaved Alfredo Bowl #FFXIV

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck. Women only want one thing, and it's a girlfriend who's never lost her nobility even as she's set aside the parts of her youthful idealism that were holding her back from connecting with other women.

Twitch finally admitted their anti-bot system is negatively impacting authentic view counts, alongside a bunch of other bizarre choices for what makes you count as a viewer. We were all right to complain. These past few months my average viewership has dropped from 300+ to 150.

it's not FOR us

How to get into more media, from someone who suffers from all of these mind goblins: 1. You can start at the entry that caught your eye, screw watch-orders. 2. You don't have to finish stuff. 3. You're allowed to take your sweet time. 4. You don't need to "clear your backlog" first.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs. Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

Calling AI the "Human Centipede of content" is the best thing I've heard in a while. It's so shitty Zelda has to deal with this, people using Al to "bring back" people that have passed have no decency or sympathy whatsoever.

Always repost

Koumei Deluxe, inspired by Atropos, the eldest of the Moirai (Fates) in Greek mythology, who determines the inevitable end by cutting the thread of life. —- I’ve made this fan concept sheet phone screen friendly… I think. The horizontal sheet I might post later. - #warframe #warframefanart

For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )
