@paramountplusbr.bsky.social There’s an audience for a Star Trek: Prodigy Art Book. Consider honoring the intent of that series’ aim to build a younger audience with a celebration of the series cinematic art direction. #StarTrek

Just want to say - 76k hours is 8.5 years. Not a single second of that to given to genAI. We are not given this time, it is not a “luxury” - we steal it. I sketched between auto parts deliveries and on calls, and between calls as a dispatcher. Made art whenever I could, however I could. ->

So true. This was such a beautiful moment and credit to the original artist for putting themselves out there and then handling the ensuing reaction with such grace and good humor.

Thank you for shining a light on this. I went and gave the post and comments some upvotes. ❤️ This hits home because it's the same kind of backlash I got as a teen in the 2000s just getting into Star Wars fandom. Cringe is in the eye of the beholder, and young fans should have space to be creative!

Gatekeepers suck. Someone posted some really great Ghostbusters fan art of Egon and their original character and the comments are getting downvoted. Let young, creative people into your fandom man. Let them enjoy it however they want to enjoy it. It's only good for you in the long run.

I don't want Helldivers 2 to be a PVP game but given everything going on these days I'd love a mode where you can play a former diver who doesn't drink the koolaid anymore.

There was a #StarTrekProdigy Art Book in the works. I was going to co-write it. It went into limbo when it was removed from Paramount+ with uncertainty if Season Two would find a home. Then more uncertainty when Paramount was merging with Skydance. If you want it — Trek fans should rally for it!

When you say to your high school friends yeah we should meet up some time and the next time you do they all have kids and your topics are work and health stuff

This is one of my favorite little VFX touches in our show. Really helps sell Lura as NOT a human in prosthetic makeup.

HEAR ME OUT: Marina Sirtis as Horatia Hornblower

Would it be fun to be better at it? Sure, but it would involve a lot of consist diligent practice, a lot of time, and that’s time and effort I have a finite amount of and choose to spend elsewhere

I’m not a very good guitarist. I’ll probably never be a very good guitarist, because I’ve decided I don’t CARE about being a very good guitarist. I don’t need to be one. It’s enough to know how to accompany myself when I sing, how to use it well enough to do what makes me happy

A small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

two naval factions led by powerful admirals who begin sending spiteful letters to each other but slowly realize they're falling in love. they can never be together as they are on the opposite sides of the war fleeted rivalry

My first official act as EP was to change all the signage on ESD back to the way it was before Season 5.

So! I'm now Executive Producer for Star Trek Online! First things first: I am excited for you all to play the next update: CORRUPTION! We're happy to welcome back Nicole de Boer and we can't wait for you to play the next thrilling chapter of STO's story! www.playstartrekonline.com/en/news/arti...

Never has been, never will be. 🖖🏻

For any who don't recognize Chris Kempshall's name, this is the author of the superb "Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire," a Star Wars book written as an in-universe, in-character history text.

In the latest episode of Worlds in Progress, we sit down with the man, the myth, the accidental founding father of Tranquility Press @thomasthecat.bsky.social.

Just checked to be sure. It’s STILL January.

Everytime I see STO ships turn up on screen I'm so happy for @thomasthecat.bsky.social, @pundus.art , @scorpiondesign.bsky.social and all the other starship artists working(that worked) on STO for thier achievements. Its a delight to see the ships fly on screen (Typo fixed)

So pretty #StarTrekOnline #STO. #Trek Rallys Temporal Dyson Science Destroyer Hoping @pundus.art and @thomasthecat.bsky.social see this.

HAPPY 30th THRESHOLD DAY!

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

This was the weekend I also got to visit the Stargazer bridge for Star Trek: Picard (thanks @daveblass.bsky.social !) but I have to say that meeting @ohcatrina.bsky.social was even cooler! Now we're on a voyage to boldly go together, forever. Love you baby! 😘💖💖💖🥰✨🖖✨💍✨🖖✨

90% of my animation friends are unemployed. I'm on hiatus. The value of animation is proven every year. Greenlight new shows! Don't overdevelop. Don't chase trends. You can't chase trends w/ animation! It takes too long! Tell good stories. Take risks."Demon Hunters" was a risk & look how it paid off

I am an on and off again player so I am still going through all the story quests and I just got past the klingon attack on Mars and the music choice there was TOP NOTCH

I started playing March 2021 and still play it almost daily. This is my very first screenshot. I think an underappreciated aspect of the game is that it's relatively for new players to catch up. I don't feel behind players who have played since the beginning.

Star Trek: Online is still my go-to game when I need a quick escape into a hopeful future. It features tons of voice acting by original Star Trek actors, has great story content, is easy to learn but still deep, runs on modest hardware and software specs, is free, and still looks great. 🖖

Started middle of last year and love it had a lot of crap going on in my life over the last few years and this games been the best escape from it. Can't wait to see whats next

is this anything

With the recent Cryptic news, I want to say that STO players have a lot to look forward to... And if you haven't played STO in a while, now is a great time to come back! To help, we've put together this guide on what you'll find when return to duty. www.playstartrekonline.com/en/welcomeback

Some big news from Cryptic Studios! We're happy to welcome back Jack Emmert as our CEO. Jack was one of Cryptic's original founders and so much of his blood, sweat, and tears are in these games. The future is looking bright for Cryptic and STO! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN1d...

A tip for dealing with mechs on your property. Climb to the top of the nearest tall landmark. Then proceed to scream gibberish at the trespassers. Mech sensors will become confused; compelling them to leave. Ethan has found his dagger. www.youtube.com/watch?v=38cH... #battletech #mechwarrior

Very excited for this - FOR ALL MANKIND is one of the best sci-fi shows of all time in my opinion. Please check it out if you haven't yet!

holy shit

Go to work. Layoffs, closures, cancellations, restructuring. Read people online shout about how much you deserve this. Go home. Giant countries threaten your land, economies, alliances. Read people online shout about how much you deserve this. Go to bed. Get up. Do it again.

I was able to leave a message with my House Rep but my Senators' mailboxes were full/not accepting new messages. It's worth a shot at least.
