"For many, this is the video game industry’s “you reap what you sow” moment, proof that the AI tools many publishers have brazenly admitted to using are a double-edged sword." 🙃 Also, this Tim Sweeney guy is not an honest person. Great piece about an industry that is changing at breakneck speed:

Me: I don't see any reason to use AI Slop peddlers: You know how you want to sell books but you hate writing? Me: No, I love writing. The only reason I care about selling books is so I can afford to write instead of getting a real job Slop peddlers: Oh. Well... You know how you hate your kids?

I would think it doesn't need to be said, but looking around... I for one would rather Mass Effect ans Dragon Age die than having them persist as a cash-grab for EA. The only slim hope of them selling the IPs is thay by luck they end up in thw hands of people who care for it again, but that is[...]

Like I love BG3 to death, one of my favorite games But imagine how much more engaging and fleshed out the party would be if they put in a Rival/Hatred tracker and had story events for party members wanting to kick your ass Half the cast SHOULD at any given time, tbh

People abroad don't understand the level of interference Meta & bots had in these elections. 5 days before the election a far-right politician posted a fake news video that got 157 MILLION views on Instagram in 24hs. For reference, GTA 6's reveal trailer got 90 million views on YouTube in 24hs.

Something I wish more people would realize.

During the brazilian elections we learned one obvious but important tactic to defeat the far right on the Internet and I think everyone should know it: IGNORE THEM! DON'T ENGAGE WITH THEIR CONTENT! DON'T MAKE CONTENT REACTING TO THEM! DON'T HATE QRT! LET THEM ALONE IN THEIR BUBBLE!

I do not want your AI slop I kindly wish that you would stop Pushing it in my face And in every hobby space I wish I wish For this bubble to pop I do not want your AI slop

Some of my Dragon Age fan art over the years. Cheers Bioware.

i was too hot, so i turned up the heat by 5 degrees. i could have turned it up by 10, you see, so i am cooler now, relative to if i had done that

today is your reminder that the 'Guennol Lioness', a proto-Elamite statuette, confirms evidence that humans have been hot for massive furry women since at least 5000ish BCE, contemporary with our invention of the wheel and the first cohesive writing systems

Alright, fine. I don't have as much cool Bioware fanart as y'all but here, but most of the fanart I've done is of Bioware. Had to go rummaging through old files and didn't even find all, first one must be from 2010 and one of the first things I ever made while learning to use my first tablet.

The amount of Dragon Age art I’ve made is nowhere near the amount of love I have for these games. Bonus my Inquisition tattoo, it’ll always be a part of me now.

I got hired by BioWare in 2024 (I think) to make a huge rainbow foil poster for their webshop and it sold out in 24 hours. I think someone even got their poster signed by the voice actor who played Solas which was so cool. I’m sad for those who lost their jobs, it’s such a beloved studio

CHAPTER 1: THE TWO ALCHEMISTS

BioWare is the reason I really dug my heels in and *learned* how to draw. It's what brought me back to art after the end of an abusive relationship. It's what keeps me going. I will never stop creating within the worlds they built. #DragonAge #BioWare

Look what I've found in an old folder of stuff from the old Bioware Social Network. Metadata says it's from 2013.

Goodbye, Bioware. And thank you. 💔

Let's keep the train of art inspired by Bioware games going 💖 DAO was one of the first games I played as an adult and Veilguard lifted me from a creative slump. I'd not be where I am artistically without it. ME and DA got me through so much and I'll forever be thankful to the devs for creating them

If you don't dig Veilguard cause you didn't have fun, absolutely fair, it ain't perfect and was a big change But so much of the hatred for that game is tied deeply into Gamergate CHUD horseshit because it had trans people in it and I will always side-eye folks who single it out as The Bad One

Joining the train myself now 🥺 Dragon Age and Mass Effect in particular have been a part of my life since college way back in 2014, and they’ll always have a special place in my heart!!! (oops all dragon age art)

Can confirm that this is a real trailer of the Mass Effect game that BioWare was developing up until its closure yesterday www.reddit.com/r/masseffect...

Bioware was so foundational to me I'm still trying to process its closing. Such an important part of my development as a creator, a writer and an artist is influenced by Bioware games. And so many friendships I hold dear that I wouldn't have today if it wasn't for this fandom 💔 A heartbreaking loss.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

BioWare has always inspired us, and it's hard to say goodbye to our idols. Thank you for everything, BioWare. Many of us wouldn’t be in the games industry without your legacy.

Jumping on the bandwagon to show my love for Bioware 💕 I'm still way too heartbroken to really say much. DA was the series that shaped me over the past eleven yrs. The stories, the characters, the worldbuilding, the art direction. I will never be able to thank the studio enough. Thank you, Bioware.

We're looking for a graphic designer/illustrator to join the Hello Sunshine team for a few months, starting ASAP. There are a lot of artists here looking for new opportunities so I'd be super grateful if y'all could share this call with your followers! www.redthreadgames.com/graphic-desi...
