I really can't put this more clearly. If you watch the new Harry Potter series, you are directly funding the genocide of trans people, because that's what Rowling gleefully spends HP revenue on. There's no "death of the author" here, no "there's lots of awful creators." You are funding genocide.

I'm not planning on playing Dissidia Duellum, but if Rinoa and Clive don't meet in a dog park I'm going to riot.

Moenbryda for the FFXIV playing card deck today #FFXIV

The author's brazen fetish, presented with such hedonistic flair and and open pride it makes you feel a little embarassed for needing to hide your own passions behind self-effacing jokes in order to preserve a sense of safe, pseudo-ironic detachment

Lyse. #marchofxiv #ffxiv

FUUUUUUCK. I keep coming up with lore for this gal!

FINALLY, character sheet for Willow. I still need to do one for Tony /sobs #wow #worldofwarcraft #oc #ocart #warcraftoc #art #halfelf

Good riddance, Sora. What you made with Sora did NOT matter. You could have rebuilt a war torn country with the money corporations spunked on that. Ended world hunger. Eased housing crisis in several places. And for what? Glorified piracy and a complete disregard for art. Fuck it, fuck it to hell.

Between the game running like hell on my phone and locking the character dynamics behind the season pass, I don't think I'll be playing the new Dissidia.

Sobre lo de usar IA o no, mi postura.

"Content" is something to fill an empty vessel: it repositions your view of the world to align with corporations. Art becomes something disposable, fungible, serving a financial interest and nothing more. The word "artist" is right there; I beg you to claim it and leave "content creator" to molder

fun reminder: the reason why they make these fucking pointless "live action" remakes is because since it's "live action", the animation is considered "vfx" and not character animation, so they can pay these non-unionized satellite studios fuck-all and make a cool few million for essentially nothing

I fear we’re gonna get a lot of mileage out of this Barret meme.

Placeholder assets in a game should look obnoxiously temporary, so obvious that no one would mistake it for the final asset. In past games we've used the doge dog (rip) as an icon, hot pink versions of characters, our CEO's head, etc. If you use a temp asset that seems passable, it may stay there.

WoW Dragonflight giving me a sidequest where I help gather materials for a baby dragon so we can fix her duck plush hits me right there these days. It's the kind of stuff I miss in FFXIV because I gloss over the sidequest. Gonna have to fix that.

Hi everyone—I’m conducting an interest check for a dwarven-themed Dragon Age fan zine! If enough responses are collected, we’ll move forward into accepting zine applications in April! Here’s the form link, it only takes two seconds: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #dragonage #zine

I let the horny take the wheel on this lmao #teratophilia #nsfw #art #ocart #nsfwart #dragon #warcraftoc

I done fucked up. Played a bit more of WoW yesterday and last night when I tried to sleep my brain was bombarding me with plot and character beats for my Nelf Warrior. A Nelf Warrior I made on a whim!

This version of Leon is probably my favorite 😩👌🏻 New print I will have for #C2E2! You can find me at booth B12 ❤️ #RE9 #residentevilrequiem

Their marriage simplified in a shitpost because it was easier and funnier than writing y'all an essay lol #wow #worldofwarcraft #warcraftoc #art #oc #ocart

So they tried to lie for investors/shareholders and we all saw RIGHT through it (well 'most' of us did) and the blow back was so bad they had to admit it. Never believe ANYTHING tech companies say now, they are so desperate for more money they bullshot their way if they can

It feels like they're ashamed of their setting or think it's worthless, but the ancestries and classes are so tied to it I'd struggle to reflavour them in a setting that is not the official one with the serial numbers filed off. And that's discounting the parts I actively disliked.

In an ancient forest, shallow pools reflect not the trees above, but a luminous city of elsewhere. My shortlisted entry for the Cheltenham Illustration awards. Inspired by the changing landscape, childhood (and adulthood) fantasy, reflections, exploration of strange places... #art #illustration

If you were someone pinging critics with ‘it’s just lighting cleanup’ a few days ago, I need you to use this as a jumping off point to thinking about your susceptibility to talking points and marketing rhetoric more generally. It was right there in front of all of our faces.

I forgot I drew this... Hear Feel Think? Live Laugh Love!? #shmiart #FFXIVART #FFXIV

Yeah... Draw Steel ain't for me. As good as the combat systems might be, everything around them gives me either tonal whiplash, or feels undercooked. The art is nice, even if I can't see Ajax without thinking he's based on a Warhammer 40k mini, but the writing only shines for in-universe fiction.

Okay, I had to double check and read slowly. Draw Steel doesn't have a Wizard or Wizard-equivalent. I'm not touching the game until this tracesty is adressed.

The Moogle still has a LOT of growing up to do before I even dare consider playing Death Stranding, Steam. Get that add off my face.

"There is no cure for tempering," Jullus thought. "I had no choice," he told himself. #ffxiv

I've skimmed over Draw Steel, and while the mechanics do sound neat, for some reason I can't quite articulate I bounce out when it comes to the fluff it serves. It feels like if they got the pieces of three or four puzzles mixed up and banged at it until something came out.

Farscape started 27 years ago today. "Thrown into a distant part of the universe, an Earth astronaut finds himself part of a fugitive alien starship crew."

Re: New Spider-Man trailer There are story aspects in this film that are derived from the comics story called Spider-Man: The Other, written by Peter David, Reginald Hudlin, and J. Michael Straczynski. Peter, seen below, died last year. He was rejected by Medicaid. He died in medical debt.

No está de más recordar que este caso es tan, TAN grave que no solo no se debe sepatar autor de obra, si no que además debemos PARAR con el fan art de jarripoter. Hay que cortar de raíz con toda corriente cultural de este despropósito.

Gen A.I. barons want us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to build hell and have us pay for it.

I've been shown a clip from the Warcraft movie and got reminded of how good it was. It had the same tangible feel DnD Honor Among Thieves would tap into later and that doesn't show up very often.

Remember when McDonalds made a genAI commercial and it was so universally reviled they pulled it from the internet. Do you have any idea how bad you have to fuck up to make a corporation like McDonalds just pull an entire ad like that. This shit is DEAD.

can u not post not safe for woik 🥺

Repost with your favourite Pokémon.

i like it when video games are not afraid to look like video games

So they yank Solid Snake out of retirement & drop him off at Shadow Moses Island. Now he has to take down his twin brother, every member of the special forces team FOXHOUND, and destroy an new & advanced Metal Gear prototype codenamed REX. #FF7 #MetalGearSolid

I have a sneaking and horrible suspicion.

Get to know my comic book taste.

People are (rightfully) roasting Nvidia's LLM filter, and while I'm here for it I also want a break from the machine.

Create imperfect art Create "ugly" art Create HUMAN art!!!

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

They already have a Firefly animated series, it's called Outlaw Star and it's so much better.

Kinda funny that I finally find a "live service" game that grabs me and it turns out to be the one that had to be reworkwd to be offline. Having a real blast with Wayfinders. Like, way too much.
