Feels like a good time to talk about when Larian employed an outright fascist and refused to fire him. Over covid one of our engineers was radicalised. Next time we saw him he was watching Tim Pool videos in office and telling us about "cultural marxism" at work drinks, the whole nine yards 1/6

i love wow lore so much but good god i'm only a few chapters in to war of the ancients and so far i can truly tell it's written by a man every time women are even mentioned

Jungle is massive! Assignment example for my students - using Blender to block out a scene and figure out perspective, then paint over it in a 2D software.

Maybe it's easy to forget this as we all wade through the shit-flooded zone that is 2025 but "this country sucked and I, personally, made it great again" is basic entry-level fascism, and "this country sucked because of dirty criminal immigrants who I am now punishing" is actual fascism

My comic featuring Quaz and Nipnuk for @wowcomicanthology.bsky.social! #warcraft #goblin #comic

Character intro post part 7 🐎 #oc #art

I would rather our entire economic model grind to a halt than to cede all public and private works for the benefit of a few owning class people at the expense of us. Its not about progress or speed, its about the few benefitting by taking what belongs to the many workers who made it.

Still think anything these people do is for the kids ?

Seasoning. 🌶️

AI is so shitty that even conversations about AI are insufferable

my favorite pieces from 2025

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms. 3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers. 4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against. It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power. Story to come.

That sure is a lot of shows and jobs that could have been made… www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

HELP!! I need conspiracy theories for a character to believe in World of Warcraft (Azeroth is flat style) #wow #worldofwarcraft

My little comic for @wowcomicanthology.bsky.social! I first have to thank my co-writer and colorist @divaythfyr.bsky.social, and my letterer @alchememe.bsky.social, as well everyone who helped! Now, enjoy a little Pris and Armas story! 💜💙 #worldofwarcraft | #bloodelf | #troll | #skymagpieart

Who thought doing 10 invasions for fomo decor is a good idea? This is such a drag

I need someone who knows lore to tell me why Galen and everyone in Stromgarde are undead during Legion?

C0mm done for @vahrdo.bsky.social

Had to explain Ea-Nasir to my therapist

My therapist: “I know it stings to receive criticism, but you shouldn’t dwell on it. You probably won’t even remember that comment next week.” Me, about to change her practice forever: “Have you heard of Ea-Nasir?”

the good that you do persists in this world

Every day I'm grateful for justsketchme

Fr if u need a tool to help with posing its a website and its better than a lot of 3d model apps I tried app.justsketch.me

so scientists found out humans were lighting fires 350,000 earlier than we thought. and I guess just spent the next few hundred thousand years chillin

Lady Henrietta is my favorite.

Literally benched The Archdruid in the Emerald Dream patch because they didn't want us to be outshined by him.

yall ever remember when they had malfurion go to sleep in the shadowlands just for Ysera to do nothing lol

Its crazy that once something is made into a political issue, a swath of the population won't even discuss it with other people. You can't even bring it up without ppl shutting it down bc "I don't get into politics".

Here's the email I sent to my senators this week, I have been contacting them regularly about this since May. Feel free to tweak it and make it your own:

And once again, if you're going to use machine learning in the development process, there are already tools for that! A decade ago! They came from film and they're really cool and they're great for making characters move in realistic ways without having to hand-tweak every fucking thing. Christ.

The internet is full of bullshit slop now and you think you can use that to get any kind of high quality results from AI searching it? Fuck off. Hire people who do the actual work and use their education and experience instead of using the fascist slop machine.

If you need really high quality reference material of clothing from any historical era and you want to make sure the data is captured by human people who want to use it ethically, @render-ready.com is literally right here This is a bad excuse for lazy craftsmanship

if you hate unmediated AI use at your workplace without worker input, if your boss is speaking over you & for you, consider unionizing. shop and industry unions are bargaining and ratifying real, material AI protections RIGHT NOW.

No, there isn’t a way. There just isn’t. GenAI is poisoning the water supply of Oregon. It’s boiling inland seas.This tech, at scale, is an anti life equation, and all to spit out stolen collages of other people’s work to plug into a pipeline that has to be fixed by an underpaid real human later.

It's all bad of course, but it is the most c-suite brained thing to think of it as "just" concept art because it doesn't appear in the final product. Concept art is the creative bedrock of your entire project. If you're comfortable using it there, the entire thing is rotten.

*sobbing* it's just like land before time

RIP Firefox www.phoronix.com/news/Mozilla...

Vivaldi is Chromium based, but they've taken a strong anti-ai stance!

Not anything mainstream, that's for sure Chrome is Google (Chat GPT) Edge/Explorere is Microsoft (Copilot) Opera is Chrome in a trenchcoat This is what I might try next www.reddit.com/r/technology...

"AI will replace the need to hire artists" "AI will do the boring tasks of artists, freeing them to focus on the important stuff" "AI can quickly make the placeholders that artists will replace later" "AI will create refs so artists don't have to research" Just keeps getting walked back.

There are still open questions, such as whether the admin will now expand a USCIS pause on adjudication of immigration benefits to nationals of the 20 new countries. In the meantime, check out our (soon-to-be-updated) explainer on the travel ban. www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/report/trump...

NEW: President Trump is expanding the previous 19-country travel ban to a whopping 39 countries (plus the Palestinian Authority), and appears to expand a block on legal immigration to now include spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens, who were previously exempted.

So, the Trump administration gets to rewrite the hippocratic oath too?

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison. Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

"I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art" just to make reference, get ideas from and outline composition lmao just 90% of what concept is🤣
