(He/Him) Making at least one game makes you a game developer. I guess that's something.

Oh yeah, I never did post the ONE game I made, huh?
rico-harbor.itch.io/the-pacifist
It's a game called The Pacifist, made for GB Showdown 2023. You try to end a hostage situation without harming anyone. It's a bit rough and I had one day left to do all the level design. Oops. Still, check it out!

the most popular smartphone maker in history literally had to stop using "AI" because it would constantly just make things up and had zero contextual "understanding" of what it was doing

getty images: we think somewhere from a third of your month's rent to half of your month's rent is a fair price for the right to reprint this photo of ALF with Mr. T.

me: how much does the photographer get from this?

getty images: you know what? we're not sure they're still alive.

If you ever have an idea for a TV show or movie, make a comic or book first so YOU own the original rights.

Then, if one of these companies wants to adapt it, sure! but they'll only own their version of it.

Don't let your work get caught up inside some billionaire version of Hungry Hungry Hippos.
the AT&T-->Time Warner-->Discovery series of media mergers were some of the most pointless and disastrous business exercises ever conceived by man

so of course we're going to do it again

this time it's rumored they want $60 billion to sell this mess to Larry Ellison and whatever's left of CBS
Warner Bros. Discovery puts itself up for sale
The announcement comes after WBD previously said it would split in two.

My thoughts:
This is like seeing a dorsal fin while playing in the ocean.

Maybe it's a fake fin, worn by a prankster.

Maybe it's the fin of a friendly dolphin.

Maybe it's the fin of a satiated shark, peacefully passing by.

But in any case, you should probably get the fuck out of the ocean.
Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including:

"Efficiency in Image and Material Generation
With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes."

Something to keep an eye on.

been using the new settings for a few days now, and instead of every other post being AI slop, I get one every few rows at BEST (usually untagged)

for both artists and clients: if you use pinterest to make moodboards or plan designs, highly recommend making sure these are turned OFF

‼️ REMOVE AIslop from your PINTEREST results.‼️
Let's see how true this is....

1. Go to ‘Refine your recommendations’ and remove everything related to ‘generative AI interests’.

(As if anyone who visits the site for reliable references would be interested in that...)

every lever of capitalism is now inhabited by an utter moron who doesn't understand people have to be able to buy your thing to buy your thing
I'm tired. We're all tired. This isn't hard to understand. You can't inflate prices of basic necessities like food and housing to ridiculous highs while keeping wages at poverty levels, then act surprised when luxury goods/services and large purchases become unattainable or payments unaffordable.
