guys i hate discord but this is super not them making your dms public or whatever. all this does is make 1000+ member public servers searchable. so, you know, all those games you play where you have to join to get information? you may not need to join now
what is it with being white + french and blatantly stealing people's creative works (primarily black and POC's creative works, mind you) before throwing a literal tantrum when they're called out
fell over yourself crying shitting sobbing last night just to deliberately twist the situation so you don't have to take any responsibility for you literally copying the mod 1 to 1 AND your nasty ass attitude. when i say we have to be meaner to these people
i don't blame anyone who concedes bc they will pester you incessantly until you literally have no other choice but to give in just for them to leave you alone. it's exhausting. and they know that
Chinaβs first AI-generated theatrical film, βSanxingdui: Future Pastβ, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD.
In contrast, the crudely animated βNiu Laiβ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.
the average member of a fandom canβt actually imagine creative expression that is not attached to the profit of some capitalist. you can just tell your own stories to each other, but fandom is not about that, it needs an βIPβ as a central pillar
a lot of fandomites will protest when you say it, but fandom has been like that from the start, much more obsessed with an attachment to the idea of intellectual property than to cultural and creative expression beyond or independently of capitalism.
I think a lot could be said about how fandoms are very much structured to be consumerist without any critical analysis of capitalist production, and how this is the logical end result of that.
Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.
Every expansion I miss Papalymo because I genuinely think the Scions are missing a well adjusted but perpetually anxious grumpy member as a niche because all of them currently are different flavors of "Well done, my friend." saving for Alisaie
"inspired by" and "it went against creator TOS so I fully coped their mod no shade teehee!"
like actually shut the fuck up and just say yer a bitch with no creativity that is another podder that copies other creators to make money. go fuck yerself fr.
once c+ became widespread it should have become obsolete. if we're able to work within the constraints of yab/rue/lux etc with c+ in order to create larger bodied characters, then it's the same for smaller and thinner characters w base bibo
can i be real. ive been a hater of lithe/neolithe/neo extra super skinny small lithe or whatever the fuck since the beginning bc the differences from default bibo are genuinely so small i can barely tell them apart
this image was clearly made with such burning hate and yet over the years these two have become warm friends. they tapped into something real and true. me when i find a cool stick
What do you mean the last fanfest is in 5 days and we will get the full trailer and job actions trailer and new job trailer and 2 extra map preview footage and more reveals about the character creator upgrade (give me highlander eyebrows) and a date for the benchmark and
