I’m pleading with fanworks (& just in general) that people respect recipe development more. I was looking at recipes where people were arguing in their own comment section that they didn’t need to credit the original recipe because they’d “made it their own” and it was “similar” but not the same.

Remember, it’s perfectly acceptable if your weekend plans consist of nothing other than reading a good book, drinking multiple kettles of tea, and indulging in a scandalous amount of cinnamon rolls.

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.

Decided to finally make use of my Cara account and set up my portfolio 😅 anyone else use Cara? cara.app/kiranox

i've never been able to fill an art summary before; it's kind of surreal! tashur made me finally learn how to do comics, gave me fuel to do consistent art, let me meet (and collab) with so many amazing people. this is not even all of it, so suffice to say: i'm very proud! 🧡 happy new year!

Got my 13th age 2nd edition by @robheinsoo.bsky.social !! So excited and the map is so soft

Many years ago I spent a year trying to draw something every day and it was probably the year I made the biggest improvements so I'm going to try doing that again! Whether it just be sketches or full illustrations ☺️ #kiranoxdraws

My top 3 games for 2025 in no particular order: Blue Prince by @dogubomb.bsky.social, lost records: bloom + rage by @dontnod.bsky.social and Eternal strands by @yellowbrickgames.bsky.social Three very different games, all rich in story and lore, my favorite kind <3 What was your top 3 this year?

Crab yourself a merry little Crustmas! #Crustmas The Christmas Island crab, Gecarcoidea natalis, is known for its annual migrations, in which tens of millions of crabs move from the forest to the coast to mate.

I want to wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays with this quick sketch of two Microraptorine dinosaurs in the snow ❄️. I hope everybody is having a great day and enjoying the presents! 🎁 🎄 🎅 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

❄️ Happy Holidays and Merry Wintersend everyone! 🐲

Especially if you're an artist posting images on the site, using alt text makes your images searchable (and you get a ton more space to describe images in the alt text field than you do in the post text field... it's free real estate!). Also, it's an easy way to make this site accessible to all!

Merry Christmas! Here, have a vintage snow-covered Diplodocus skeleton

We are beyond honoured to be nominated for Best Dialogue in an Indie Game at the Game Audio Network Guild #GANGAwards! 🥰 Huge thanks to the writers, performers, Side Global (UK), and audio teams who brought our incredible cast of characters to life! 💛 www.audiogang.org/awards/

Had to have a conversation with my director today about why I haven't been using my CoPil*t license. I'll admit I was very anxious about sharing my reasons after seeing so many horror stories regarding this topic in the tech industry lately, but thankfully turns out we're on the same page

LOOK AT THIS . JUST LOOK AT IT

"cite your sources" is not just an externally-imposed mandate but a personal discipline on thought itself. "cite your sources" is how you keep yourself in contact with reality. "cite your sources" is how you keep yourself from shadowboxing your own imagination."

Saw this rumor going around that Blue Prince used AI thanks to the Escapist in their most recent article, they made this statement with no citations and prior to this article there has never been a claim of AI. Don't believe everything you read kids

FLAT FUCK IS COMING TO TOWN!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS GATOR LOVERS!!

I didn't draw as much as I'd like this year, just gotta do better next year ;) #artsummary2025

I started a new game last night omfg I forgot how much I love playing this game and being in this world 💖💖💖

“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” stressed Canavan. “This is what concept artists were made for. Why would you pollute that glorious creative movement with joyless, photocopied art?”

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

This is a business plan I can get behind

Dragon age is a huge inspiration for me and Thedas is one of my favorite places. I was in a bit of a slump with my art when I found DA and it got me drawing again, the stories, characters and visuals stunning, in the way only humans can make 💜💙💚♥️

I always had a drive to tell stories in every medium I've had available to me whether it be art, writing, sculpting, photography, even cosplay There's nothing more rewarding than telling a story and the best moments come from the journey you took that led you into wild and unexpected places

In a world where Gen AI wasn't being trained on copywrited works without consent, data centers weren't causing ecological harm and inflating the cost of electricity and tech CEOs weren't looking for ways to replace their workers with it, these would be entirely valid uses of AI imo.

AI makes the worst possible reference images, the entire purpose of references is to study something to reproduce it correctly. Everyone knows AI can't generate the right number of fingers most of the time. Why the hell would you use that as a reference??

Need to satisfy those investors? Have you tried Weird Al?

One take from a former Larian artist, following my interview with Swen Vincke this morning:

Congratulations Andrew Wilson, a well deserved win

it's the recipe!! ^^

The Avarice Awards holds a mirror to the hollow glamour of The Game Awards, as workers continue to have their livelihoods upended by mass layoffs. We are speaking truth to the powers ruining the game industry with their greed! Stream begins on December 10th at 7pm PT / 10pm ET on twitch.tv/UVW_CWA

A Warden, a Hawke, an Inquisitor and a Rook walk into a bar... Happy DA day everyone! 💙♥️💚💜 #daday

As some of you are aware, part of Dragon Age day was to thank the DA Devs for all the hard work they put into the series we love so much. This is also the first DA Day where we have no DA team, as they were laid off earlier this year. So let's make an effort to support their new projects!🧵

Happy 5th birthday to my favorite dragon age related interaction ever❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

(holding up the phone to my 3yo) these women sealed the honmoon long before huntrix ever existed 3yo: what are their names me: this is scary spice, there’s also posh, baby, sporty and ginger

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've attended Lorde Rise against Alanis Morissette Prozzak Nine inch nails This was really hard to narrow down 🥲😂

I made an infographic for this very reason! Every year I encourage my viewers to print it out for their Thanksgiving turkey dinner, Christmas goose feast, Boxing Day budgie buffet, or any other ritual when people gather to dismember bird carcasses. I'm not a meat eater, but I try not to judge
