Larian embracing AI for concept art sucks. CA is the bedrock, the foundation for art in games. It is the promise of what can be with your game. Before any art assets are made, before there is a game to play; Concept art is there to inspire and excite the team. To destroy that w/ AI slow is criminal

what do they gain from this

the first half of this sailor moon cross stitch is done!! i’m sooo happy with it so far! can’t wait to start working on the second half :) #sailormoon #crossstitch #art

MY 4-YEAR OLD: *calmly, while coloring a picture of the Grinch* If baby grinches die, we can eat them. If they’re clean. That’s ok

Clay letters from ancient Mesopotamia are alive with idiom, sayings, and everyday language that I love. Here are just a few random ones so you can enjoy them too.

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

EVERYONE GET MORE PASSIONATE AND SELF INDULGENT ABOUT CREATIVITY AND BEING HUMAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY THE GLAM I'VE ALWAYS WANTED

If you send someone hate over fandom, I cannot take you seriously, because you are harassing people over things that Are Not Real. You are literally getting mad what toys the other kids are playing with, or how they play with them. You're playground bullies, and you all need to go to time-out.

gaming companies pivoting toward using gen ai for their games, “omg why aren’t people buying our games” brother YOU are part of the reason RAM prices are skyrocketing and regular everyday gamers can no longer afford the parts they need in order to play your games 😭

Like fuck you mean you're coming to the FALLOUT FANDOM where people have been cranking out OC x NPC fic and art for DECADES and you HATE OCs? Get the fuck outta here!

"wow i didn't even know [game] came out" i mean. this is why devs always tell you to wishlist everything. if you hear about an upcoming game you're interested in, just wishlist it. then you'll know when it's out, instead of leaving it to chance whether or not you hear about it on social media

I'm actually gonna cry he is literally three apples tall

I realise that Benoit Blanc was created for film, and he works perfectly in that context. But he reads so like a character adapted from a Golden Age detective novel that every film makes me feel sad there isn't a series of Benoit Blanc novels for us to read as well.

Zootopia 2 is the highest grossing Hollywood movie of the year & Kpop Demon Hunters was Netflix's most popular movie of all time, but fuck animators, am I right? I hate reading about how huge & beloved this stuff is while knowing how hard creators have it & how it still isn't broadly taken seriously

Remember when games came with all the best goodies without having to pay extra

it's important you understand this before trying to invite me to your party

enchanter-smith, a commission!

I'm pretty sure hearing the sentence "the guy who played Gollum made a comedic animated movie about George Orwell's Animal Farm and a Mormon-owned studio bought it for distribution" would have killed me instantly even five years ago

Progress shot of the latest #embroidery! I always find depicting water reflections to be an interesting challenge, and it’s a bit part of this one.

Toad sipped his tea. “Frog,” he asked, “are you making this up?” “Maybe yes and maybe no,” said Frog.

Conservatives are the weakest people alive man. Imagine being afraid of other adults consensually having sex.

#TTRPG 🎲 Advent Calendar, Day 12: "Tales From Myriad" by Carson Daniel ( @emberwickart.bsky.social ) An original 2d6 TTRPG system designed to be friendly to newer players, but with just enough crunch to satisfy those of us who grew up playing Final Fantasy Tactics or Chrono Cross/Trigger

People will say it came out of nowhere and this is the nowhere they're talking about.

the dark lord's about to get more got than they've ever gotten got before. and THIS lil buny's gonna get 'em

The #FaeOfTheDay (yeah, it’s officially a thing! Hehe) 2.5 hours. This is my first time drawing in my big girl watercolor book instead of my sketchbook. Finally got up the nerve haha. How’d I do? I’m getting the hang of #watercolor again. #illustration #sketchbook #traditionalArt #blackartist

The most powerful narrative device a game can deploy is "throw you back to the main menu but it's different"

War On Christmas? Seriously? Christmas cards, Christmas trees, Christmas gifts, Christmas music, Christmas lights, Christmas decorations, Christmas vacations, Christmas bonuses, Christmas parties, Christmas TV specials, Christmas dinner, Christmas cookies, Christmas movies. October to January /1

Blood in the water- 2025 Originally a sketch for Metallica where the band choose my leaping deer sketch instead for their Bleeding Me poster! I liked this concept though and decided to finish it for fun

I've also been thinking about the double standards of the sex and gore in the Divinity trailer vs all the indie devs getting obliterated. Everyone should have this creative freedom, not just the big guys. It's blatant wallet-favoritism

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

I feel like folks expressing surprise at how graphic Larian's new Game Awards trailer is might possibly have forgotten the time they cold announced Baldur's Gate 3 with a trailer that was literally just a depiction of illithid ceremorphosis so up close and detailed it gave some viewers new fetishes.

Calling this done because if I don't I'll keep fussing with the details forever and it's driving me crazy. 😅 Titling this one "Languish" 🦁

OH GOD WHO GAVE HIM THAT

learning to decouple from online/socmed negativity feedback loops is essential for one's own sanity. genuinely.
