Did you know that every year for over 20 years I've designed a special holiday logo for DOSGames.com? This is one of my favorites, it probably took the longest to compile. See the whole collection here: dosgames.com/logos.php

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

While ReBoot isn't lost media by any means, the extent to which this restoration project has been going is simply INCREDIBLE. They got the D-1 master tapes. Then the hardware to read them. Then service manuals to repair/maintain. THEN, CRITICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. And now they're ERROR CORRECTING.

Love how every stupid company has jumped on the "Unwrapped" personal info violation trend. Local grocery stores all telling me how many Twizzlers I bought this year, like I don't already KNOW I'm disgusting.

my “yes, even the empty margins of our files are redacted” t-shirt answers a lot of questions already answered by my t-shirt

reminder:

This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default. And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit

You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?" Friend, let's find out together by watching this PSA.

Top comment on Reddit sums up Larian head's defense of "additive Generative AI" incredibly well

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

My first oil painting study! Oh boy! 🤦 It started off as a total catastrophe (more on that later) and I was like "Naaah, I hate this, definitely gonna go with gouache". But the further I pushed, the more fun it was and now I have a problem. 🙆 #oilportrait #oilpainting #figurativeart

I still can't get over them using "AI" for placeholder *text*. They're literally thinking of words, and instead of using those words as their placeholder, they're plugging them into the bullshit machine to get different words. It's like unplugging your space heater and setting it on fire for warmth.

why aren't they throwing bread at me. what do the ducks have that i do not

YOURE NOT DRAWING MISTLETOE!!! YOURE NOT DRAWING MISTLEYOE!!! THATS HOLLY!!!! THE BERRIES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WHITE FOR MISTLETOE!!! THATS HOLLY!!!!! THE BERRIES ARE RED!!!!! NOOOOOOO

Being an adult means you can say “I’ve had a shitty day so screw it: pizza on a Wednesday BECAUSE I CAN”

Absolutely loving the glam changes in FFXIV. As a non-modder, it's genuinely made the game feel more livelier again to see people's creativity when putting sets together. Also m'am, you really have no business looking this good... 🥵

[shouting at the top of my fucking lungs] girl

With 7.4's release of glamour restrictions I can finally be LA TIGRESA, LUCHADORA OF THE EAST

I logged on JUST to look for her

Got to see the with Ludo. 10/10 what a good .

"People often name new species they discover after themselves. I guess this animal expert wants to remain anonymous."

The "everyone is 12" theory is undefeated!

« pushing hard on genAI » for no gain in efficiency lmao maybe stop then ?

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

“Oh I only used AI for placeholders or idea starters” does not make it better! If you are using it for any part of the creative process then you’re no longer doing the process!

Anyway sorry if you’re a Larian dev and have to deal with your CEO publicly saying you’re cool with AI use, I’d be losing my damn mind

Sending strength to every Larian employee who hates AI and has to sit through the discourse of another dipshit slop-pilled CEO's comments

Hi, we don’t use genAI in any phase of production ESPECIALLY CONCEPTING because doing so would defeat the purpose and role of concepting. Ok bye!

the enthusiasm for generative AI would not have been possible without prior decades of capitalist conditioning to view works of art as products, rather than acts of culture and shared human life

It doesn't matter where you put it in the chain, guys

Everyone who uses AI for content gen tries to justify it with increasingly bizarre mitigations from "we're only using it to prototype", "we're only using it to iterate", "we're only using it to fill in some gaps", "we're barely even using it", "hey it still took us all night", "it's not even good"

Jonesy

this made my soul ache

imagine if people went to retailers and just took stuff and called it "generative shopping" and then, when the retailers said that's illegal, people said "regular shopping is too expensive so we have disrupted it" and then the retailers were like "OH! Carry on, innovators!"
