Having not watched any of the latest Prime 4 videos, this was my face upon watching this clip

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in. Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

Watching clips from snl in bed on my phone and this is the hardest I’ve laughed at anything on the show in several years. Unfortunately, i’m also laying on a spike mat, and laughing is extremely painful so i tried to suppress it and woke up nat who thought I was choking youtu.be/Qtr81JWCl6c?...

Fun Fact: Did you know that in Japan & Europe, Neon Genesis Evangelion was called Neon Mega Drive Evangelion

Best way to deal with these randos who bring up American politics in threads that aren't about American politics.

making art in the time of AI lately i've been getting more questions (and occasionally downright accusations) of using AI in art and music. rest assured i have not and will never touch that garbage. thank you

Checked the tracking app to see where my package is, and...

If I was Shinji I would have simply not gotten into the robot

With the Scanned Textures tagline being "Real textures from real objects for your projects", it does create some absurd situations. Behold hay on a scanner. #artassets #designassets #gameassets #assetpack #indiedev #graphicdesign #textures #design #art

still thinking about the Neon Genesis Evangelion vinyl I saw at the shops earlier

The Shadow magazine, dated November 15, 1939. Cover by Graves Gladney.

Oh, to have the blind confidence of someone watching what is absolutely a fictional movie, and thinking it's based on a true story just because it says so at the beginning.

Winter is near 🦊 #sciart

This is the graphic design equivalent of foley artists using a scrap of paper and a tube of toothpaste to replicate the sound of a horse, or something.

Forgot to post this work in progress from the other day. Biomechanical bikes grown by Marro Industries

THE TASTE OF VICTORY!

one of the best parts of making art is *making* art. the refining, the fiddling, watching something bad turn into something good. it's the greatest type of exhilaration a person working alone can have I keep thinking about this Vonnegut letter from 2006. these people are starving their own souls

I made the mistake of delving into a thread about genAI over on r/Ireland. Couldn't help but lay into someone doing the "artists are gatekeepers" shite.

My brain when I need to do the most innocuous of tasks

I'm on this site for one reason and one reason only: to give unsolicited advice under posts where people are not looking for advice and without knowing if they've tried it already

Between all the AI stuff and Metroid Prime 4 looking to be a bit eh, AAA games have never been less appealing to me. I'm very comfortable with focusing on either indie games or older titles.

Me: The perfect character design doesn't exist The perfect character design:

if you dislike AI and like me you were about to buy the new ANNO, probably worth reading this

Was enjoying diving back into Fallout 4 until every NPC started giving me weapons for completing quests, causing me to constantly go over my carry capacity. Just give me money.

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

Don't want to name the podcast, but I tried listening to one recently and the host's voice put me right off. There is a *very* thin line between having a professional radio voice, or just sounding like you're spat out by genAI.

Excuse me, that is a Trevor Henderson creature.

that's right, garfy baby

The Metroids are eating her! And then they’re going to eat me! Oh my Goooooooooooooood!

I see people defending the inclusion of that nerd guy in Prime 4 saying that he isn't permanent. That isn't the point. Having to put up with any voiced NPC for even a few seconds would be too much for a Metroid game.

Metroid Rick Moranis is about to be one of the most hated video game characters of all time.

'Sonic the Hedgehog' released on this day in 2006. Sonic's 15th birthday blow-out became no less than the unfortunate, undisputed low point of the franchise. Internal shake-ups and a rush to the finish line resulted in an altogether uneven and half-baked entry into the canon.

On the Metroid Prime 4 thing, if this is what they went with after cancelling the original version, I wonder what kind of a disaster that one must have been.

Cover by Creig Flessel.

Oh my, yes.

I just finished the opening section of this Ocarina of Time fanhack, and it's really good! Very much focused on dungeon-crawling and puzzling. Oh, and just so you don't get stuck at the opening cell like I did: check under the bed.

This is what I worked on all summer: an 80-page Dan Dare graphic novella (the first of three), in collab with the incomparable @marclaming.bsky.social, @b7media.bsky.social, and The Dan Dare Corp. If you’re at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social, free prints at B7’s booth! And go say hi to Marc, too

Huh. I never knew about this teaching method. Suddenly, some of the most annoying people online being American makes even more more sense. On top of the galaxy-sized ego, they actually do not understand what they are reading.
