Someone on this app said one of the biggest things that AI will steal from is our collective sense of wonder and I’ve never stopped thinking about it. Photos like this shouldn’t have to come with a caveat because nature is deliriously gorgeous and … wondrous.

Unions good

If you replace your entire workforce after each project, you’ll never grow the generational talent your studio could be known for. You’ll never be Disney, or Ghibli, or Nintendo.

Today on trans day of visibility SmallBu would like to highlight the artistic powerhouse Emma Elliot, aka @pseudonymjones.bsky.social. You can find her inspiring design work in the short animated film we worked with her on for Halloween below: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiOg...

Happy trans day of visibility to my favorite character who is trans because I say so

before Trans Day of Visibility ends I wanna admit that I got a crush on my cool trans boyfriend 🫪 @quinnznos.bsky.social ❤️

schools should have a mandatory course in tank control gaming so that i don't have to hear people keep complaining about it

Psst! Listen! Your cells are communicating with you! And they're telling you that it's the 28th anniversary in Japan of the release of Square's cinematic RPG: PARASITE EVE. This is such an amazing game. One that stands out pretty uniquely in the Square catalogue at what it does. Aya Brea… ❤️

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

Even with a multi-million dollar #TwinPeaks production, David Lynch still approached filmmaking as if he were a no budget college student.

It was surreal living through the 2000s, seeing gamers insist that video games were art to fight against the Jack Thompsons of the world who saw them as nothing but dangerous toys, and then going into the 2010s where you'd get harassed for attempting basic artistic analysis of any games at all

The most exhausting thing about the HP handwringing is the IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO PEOPLE I went to every movie opening night. I waited in line for the books. I was 10 when the first movie hit, I grew up with it. And I threw it all out because that woman hates me and those like me. It's that easy.

I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog! 2 months ago, SEGA began the Sonic Rewind celebration. So far, we’ve celebrated the 2020s and 2010s. Now we’re in the 2000s! The party won’t stop there either. For now, enjoy everything this decade has to offer. See you again soon in the 90s!

the thing about "i'll just pirate it" for this HP show is that it is *ruined* i literally cannot enjoy it, she has put her disgusting transphobic veneer over all of it and so it literally cannot be enjoyed, even if I wanted to try (I don't) I would see her smarmy cigar smoking face in my mind's eye

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

This is so sudden, and OpenAI so huge, that shutting down their prolific video generating app short-notice screams to me that a big, big, big lawsuit happened / is happening that they feel they must avoid at all costs.

how many of those 20% relocated? remote work *is* possible, we proved that during the pandemic. so it's weird to me that we're still requiring devs to be onsite. I see a lot of hybrid listings, but those require being within commuting distance. it hurts everyone to be exclusionary, dorks

Wonder how much longer corporate bootlickers can call mass layoffs “a COVID hiring correction” like yeah man thanks 1000+ people gotta figure out what to do all of a sudden but at least they can sleep well knowing they were hired by mistake

my thought with all those at Epic today. it should be illegal to lay off 20% of your workforce on a whim. it's not perfect, but there are more protections against this sort of thing in Europe. support politicians with legitimate connections to labor unions.

Reminder that Netflix's DMC showrunner - Adi Shankar - is a litigious MAGA chudlord pissbaby who sucks at his job and tries to troll his way to stardom. Do not give this show your views.

im on woke 3 but whatever

They can't say it out loud because the answer to how AI is making games faster/better to develop is "we don't have to pay as many wages." But Anna, "AI is just making workers more productive." So are those workers getting a raise? No. Are they continuing to staff up? No. Are the game worse? Yes.

You know what you’re never going to miss before launch?

i need netflix gone

great reporting here. basically yes DLSS 5 is running a gen AI model on the 2D output and nothing more. it doesn’t know anything about the 3D scene, textures / models / lighting / PBR other than what the model infers by looking at a frame. TL:DR, they sped up slop. youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s?...

Record enough of anything and you’ll start to like when video files’ lengths are weirdly fun number sequences Got a TLOU1 recording that came out to a nice 03:03:25. I like that.

You see the conversation around this stuff and you really get why George C. Scott turned down his Oscar to repudiate the idea of art being in competition with itself

Blows my mind seeing people watching (and uploading, even) 60fps interpolated anime OPs & EDs in the year 2026, like is no one letting their friends know about how bad that is anymore or what

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared
