First Sora now Meta, big tech asbestos finally getting its due

Sora dying, Disney killing the OpenAI deal, Meta their lawsuit, Dems flipping Florida seats… I want more news days like this one

Dying empire embroiled in a quagmire of its own making attempts outlandish conquest to restore faith

Next week there will be another existential boogeyman designed to discourage you from pursuing art. There will always be a mosquito in your ear trying to convince you your creativity has no value. Let this Sora situation be a lesson. Stop getting pushed around by scammers. Make art

You’ll find that every American art industry is pivoting to not making anything, has been for 10-15 years, and there are charts about profit from this that you’re not allowed to argue with. The fake promise of AI has only made this worse. It’s awesome

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

I saw an interesting argument a few weeks ago along these lines (about AI ads specifically) It boils down to the idea that young people see AI as a tool for bullshitting people (teachers, parents, whoever) but they don't want to be on the receiving end of BS, and they're keenly aware when it happens

updating the meme for current times

The single biggest revelation gen AI has given us is that creativity is a skill, and like so many other skills in the work force, it is critically undervalued. Because holy shit, an actual creative person makes creativity seem seamless… But all these AI evangelists are the biggest dullards ever.

Fuck layoffs. Stupid fucking industry. "Times are tough" how about *you* foot the bill with your billions of dollars instead of making your employees take the fall every time, mr CEO sir?

1999 VN "Cross Helix", by System Rose, used pre-rendered 3D CG for its character portraits & sepia-colored BGs, resulting in a very unusual yet cool late 90s aesthetic unlike anything I've seen before. BGs go full color during event CGs, probably to add emphasis, which is neat!

Games only being considered ‘art’ by when they successfully manage to imitate the more ‘serious’ artistic mediums like film or literature, instead of for their interactivity or mechanical depth/complexity is truly the result of Roger Ebert leaving gamers with a generational chip on their shoulder.

pure gameplay arcade guys have the most unhinged gaming opinions but tbh I think they understand the atristry behind the medium more than the guys who think games like Silent Hill 2 should represent gaming as an art because of emotional narrative

Whew. Folks continue to do some gorgeous stuff with the UZDoom (formerly GZDoom) engine. www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/... There's some baked lighting going on here (soon to be a stock feature in UZDoom) which pushes it beyond what you'd expect normally.

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

This is precisely how a government sets up the framework to install a backdoor, create a firewall, and switch off the internet when it's convenient for them.

I saw a fair amount of the "make it first" posts yesterday. Coincidentally our designer found an old prototype thread yesterday, that fits the billing pretty well. You've just got to explore ideas, you don't know where they will lead. And yeah, in blue, that's Gonzo from windwaker... 😅

I love Baby Blues and Zits, they're some of my favorite comics. Hearing they're BOTH ending next year is bittersweet news. However, they're going into reruns in newspapers "indefinitely". Zits technically already has with the dailies for months. THIS is part of the decline of newspaper comics.

I've told countless project leads "being volunteer work/pro bono is not a dealbreaker, it just means you may have less applicants than if it was paid." PASSION and PERSONAL ATTACHMENT factor in as well! I have *absolutely* auditioned for/taken on gigs that I KNEW were unpaid, just bc it looked fun!

Toru Iwatani once explained in a 2010 interview on pacman .com that Pac-Man does not consider what is right or wrong as he eats; if a policeman were holding a gun, Pac-Man would eat the gun under the basis that guns are bad. The full quote can be viewed in the ALT text.

at this point we are no longer asking

This is exactly why I said that day-1 reviews of big systems-driven open world games aren't very useful. Patches tend to change them a LOT. Dying Light 2 now is a radically different game (like, totally different combat, movement, etc) compared to the launch version, as a particularly extreme one.

Love these Pokemon cards that are clearly just Game Freak testing out late 90s era computer graphics.

Them, regular gamers: Tetris has no story, let alone lore. 🥴 Me, a Tetriser who has seen it all and more: When you beat marathon mode in Tetris New Century on the PS2 Sega Ages collection, the Sega Tetris monkey, who for 15 years antagonized players, gets on its feet and congratulates you in keigo.

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.
