Analogue horror Godzilla I painted. Some friends think it’s just goofy but some others think it’s really creepy. I think it’s both somehow.

the epic games store stuff is really funny. they couldnt get me to use their non-slopcoded storefront even by giving away free games every week, what the fuck are they gonna do with this one to convince people to try use? free handjobs? $50 best buy gift card with every purchase?

personally think if the line is going to be “no gen ai in anything” then the you might have to consider divesting from AAA games entirely because this is just what the industry is now, whether they admit it so publicly or not

Dwarf Fortress co-creator Tarn Adams says he has no need for GenAI, because his artists are bursting with cool, weird ideas like meat biomes and sphincter doors. "[Tolkien] didn’t have a sphincter door. I mean, I don’t think he did… Who knows what’s going on in, like, Minas Morgul though."

I think the industry (myself included) needs to put more effort into death ragdolls. I want them to be funny, not natural.

Fun fact: "Reviewing an AI made translation" is more work for translators than just translating it themselves, because AI translations do not pass the sniff test beyond the most superficial. It's a loophole companies use as an excuse to underpay translators, and nothing else.

Everyone disturbed by Link looking moist are people with no imagination, no capability to fill in the blanks of the limited graphics of the time. He was always intended to be moist. I always imagined him moist. The boy is moist. Sorry you were left out of the moistness I always knew he posessed
