not to rub salt in any wound but.... steam actively letting me know that i can get the same game at an even better discount is why i continue to stick with them.

i want.... the lego enterprise.... so badly ough it's grown on me

I think you should just leave Twitter. I don't see any good reason to stay at this point, and while I don't mind talking about that, I'm honestly doubtful I could be convinced otherwise. It's not worth it.

welcome new bluesky users, remember: Your home page only shows what and who you choose to follow

Users are noticing Twitter/X has added a Grok-powered AI image editor that lets anyone edit any image on the platform, including other people’s artwork using text prompts. Artists warn there’s no opt-out or consent, raising concerns over unauthorized edits and misuse.

i had to drop what i was doing to make this

tl;dr: GenAI and game design concepts traditionally referred to as "AI" (enemy behaviors, pathfinding, etc.) are not the same thing, and I'm on my knees begging people to learn the difference, lest we see more bullshit claims like what The Escapist put out re: Blue Prince.

"What if it happens again?" "You won't face it alone."

tee hee we're disabling replies and quote reblogs tee hee no discussion for you

got a message from my favorite game that my current graphics card is old enough to potentially crash the game shit sucks man, i can't afford an upgrade right now

the 10-to-1 rule is that for every 1 harmful act, you need 10 healing acts to make up for it. Trust and goodwill cannot be rebuilt in a moment, just by reversing course. Larian has burnt down the goodwill they've spent 10 years cultivating with BG3 and the Divinity trailer. 1/

Idk who needs to hear this, but talking to blorbo on the plagerism machine is crossing the picket line.

marisha ray in the latest tomb raider??? DAYUM

watching wake up dead man so good so extremely good

I went all in on the Eva inspiration here lol. Cyber Polaris's exoskeleton, with additional notes explaining her armament. I got so locked in working on this that I stayed up till 3 AM and you can tell in spots.

THE PLAGUE IS COMING. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXJ_...

Sorry I think using AI for placeholders is also bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I know you only care about finished art but placeholder art also needs to be made by a human being who also needs to be paid for that But placeholder midjourney slop cuts that artist out

Fuck Fortnite, Fuck Epic, Fuck The Game Awards. Posting this to their X but NOT their Bluesky just SHOWS they know they're doing some bigoted shit & just don't wanna get called out for it. Imagine hurting your Transgender playerbase like this? And your Transgender viewers {In the case of TGA}?

TADC ep7: love the chinese room allegory lampshading. fantastic, no notes.

Here's JRR Tolkien on today's Time Magazine People of the Year and Disney's deal with OpenAI

congrats to clair obscur: expedition 33's developer* Sandfall for winning game of the year *generative AI was used during the production of and included upon release of this game

I know I’m beating the same old drum. But it cannot be stressed enough that this shit is the start of the slow asphyxiation of human talent existing in these spaces at all. And it gets to do it while dressed in a suit and holding a trophy.

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

"We'd like to thank generative AI, without which our placeholder textures just wouldn't have been possible."

if clair obscur didn't put genAI in their game and then immediately hide that they did it, I'd be more inclined to be okay with all the awards they're winning but uh yeah they did that, so, i guess it's big hater hours?

AI automation =/= AI generation. the scripts to automatically transcribe voice to text or whether your party character prioritizes Attack or Defense isn't the same as algorithms generating randomized results out of an amalgamation of existing data. conflating them is intentionally misleading.

pals you gotta quit spotify

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Reminder that early Fortnite stole dance choreography from people of color and only responded when they were publicly called out or sued. That team has been telling the world who they are pretty consistently for a long time. We need to listen.

weapon degradation or just "realism as a genre" in general

maybe i am going insane

not really, not in any way that isn't still from the POV of women I hate to say it but I'm not really sure I've seen much evidence that for the vast majority of straight men, traditional aesthetic beauty is NOT the dealkiller and outliers are too rare to cater to. feel free to prove me wrong lads

someone i love is trans <3 #tdor

Sculpted the bishop next. Going for a cute dreamy aesthetic for the set I think

I've been really into chess lately and made this little knight piece out of sculpy

Wish YouTube had a button for "I really like this topic but I don't want any spoilers on it right now, so mute it for a few months so I can enjoy it for myself and check it out later"

Really enjoyed my Dispatch blind playthrough. As with most RPGs/branching stories, I always consider the first playthrough to be my 'ideal/best' story, where if it's good enough I'll consider it the """canon""" storyline. See also: BG3. That being said, pretty sure I got the best possible ending.

THE RETURN OF GLASS HIM

it would be nice to see the aurora... IF IT WASN'T CLOUDY!!! >:C

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore. Our review: https://bit.ly/49bVn01
