If you're gonna read any quote from an article on the game, let it be this one, because I think it sums up a lot of the feelings of fans pretty succintly

It's absolutely unbelievable that 2xko blew nearly a decade of work to release only to start downsizing their team 3 weeks into launch. Runeterra had years before they had to bite the bullet, maybe 2xko would have had longer if they hadn't spent 9 years not releasing

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

There's not really a good feature for finding people on the site itself, but mutuals add me if you have a pagebound? mellomakes Goodreads is depressing and storygraph/fable use AI so this seems to be the one pagebound.co

There are many goodies available on the Nicholas Burgess Bandcamp store: nicholasburgess.bandcamp.com/album/all-ni... #bandcampFriday

We are taught to conform to the norms of living in a society. That's fine: stop at red lights, shake hands, form a queue, pay bills. But when it comes to your characterization, especially at the audition phase, you cannot. You should not. Because the character of YOU are unique by definition. 💪❤️

We have added an apple music playlist to the options on boneskeletons.com, for you people with golden iphones!

It's pretty unbelievable blizz just pushed out an update designed to steal all your purchases and *still* aren't being taken to task for it

If they can cut off the software for no valid reason once, they can do it again. Take this as a wakeup call not to settle.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Just like when Unity tried to pull some shit, this shouldn't be seen as "Phew, glad that's taken care of," you need to question how long this will last. They played their hand and showed their intent. Do you trust that they will maintain this forever just because they experienced backlash?

I used to have a lot of questions like "what if my stuff flops" and "what if no one likes the way my art is changing", but that's mostly been replaced with "are my cats doing good" and "where are my cats, I want to see them"

The Epstein files reveal what powerful people see in video games: profit, coercion, and control aftermath.site/jeffrey-epstei...

Good that theyre backtracking but at the same time this whole fiasco is a great example of why its probably best to start working your way out of the adobe ecosystem sooner rather than later

"We don't use it, we have no interest in it" Romeo is a Dead Man's Suda 51 dismisses AI development tools, says AI images and videos "feel kinda 'off'" www.eurogamer.net/romeo-is-a-d...

discontinuing support for software is one thing but straight-up shutting you own of your own damn files is fuckin crazy dude. fuck adobe forever. pirate their shit if you gotta, use the handful of alternatives available otherwise.

i love trash games. i love seeing the cavalcade of 'mistakes' and 'failures' piling up before me because it feels so alive and human and it makes me better love and appreciate art. but even as someone who adores trash this ai generated video game bs means nothing to me

Now you too can play a slowed down version of a game from 20 years ago with no actual level design or enemies and all it costs is a complete collapse of the world economy, biosphere, education system, and multiple entire creative industries.

Pinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working" So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images

Since there's a lot of fucked up shit circulating from the newest Epstein files release, remember that there's no moral obligation look at this stuff. Traumatizing yourself by passively taking in horrific information without any way to translate that into useful action isn't activism.

No sé si alguien que me vea por aquí desde CDMX esté en posibilidades de ir, pero hoy y mañana todavía estarán muchos colegas actores juntando dinero para un gasto médico muy fuerte que tiene Ximena Frutos. Cualquier apoyo se aprecia muchísimo. #PSA

I always figured unmasking the shadowy cabal that controls the world would’ve felt I don’t know Less mundane?

this matters even more right now. thankfully it's never been easier to pay attention. honestly with how much it's just right in front of you the alternative is harder

"gender is a social construct" is so true that even the right wingers have adopted this line, but only to move towards naturalizing sex & naturalizing misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia to sex. thus, it has little political slogan value today. "sex is socially constructed" is what is provocative

feelin' nocturnal this week

Friday at last…

This is old but I am still feeling this way up to this day.

Even if you live overseas, you can purchase my art book! thank you, animate International🙏 www.animate.shop/products/978...

hey guys can we not put Soken's music through AI. he did not survive cancer for you to shit on him like this. the way people cant even tell anymore and are just glazing on it despite the bio clearly says AI is crazy

They are going to be delisting the 2013 version of Final Fantasy VII from Steam. Buy it now if you want it, currently on sale for $4.79.

I’m not going to repost the abomination that he’s made, but please know that Darren Aronofsky sucks shit and always has. May I suggest watching the sublime filmography of the late Satoshi Kon instead (the person he not so subtlety ripped off)? Can’t really go wrong with anything in his catalogue! 💜

Its so gross for Aranofsky to use models built off the stolen works of artists. Its so gross to displace countless of crew members, the same crews who worked to ensure Aranofsky vision became reality. Its gross to utilize GenAi to portray history as GenAi is always riddled with errors.

aranofsky ran out of satoshi kon material to copy, huh

here is a foundational problem with AI art that AI cannot solve: anyone using it to make art cannot identify bad art. you learn how to recognize bad art (and improve as an artist) via MAKING art, which they have already fully rejected. the sets do not intersect.

What's that? The director that 'borrowed' large amounts of Perfect Blue for their film Black Swan is all in the the plagiarism machine? I'm shocked, SHOCKED!!!
