Insomnia meant that I didn't set my alarm properly, so I'm once again late =( But We're going to continue with Baldur's Gate 2 now! Slowing getting closer to the end of chapter 2.

So I actually published my first blog post on TTRPG design D: It's messy, short, an possibly treads well-trodden ground, but I'm proud of it nonetheless.

$1 million for a Game Awards Trailer is a way over my budget.
So, I'm going to post my Cat train idle game here for free and reposting is free as well!

What a great deal!

I don't have any news to counteract the terrible news of the last few days, so here is a thread of cute animals eating things, with most with crunchy cromchy sounds.

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

Holy crap the last time I posted a schedule was back in June. This year has been chaotic, just like most years. Maybe I'm not cut out to be a streamer. But as a good friend once said, I'm giving it one more last try. So have this.

Goddammit I just found out that an RPG youtuber that I really like is using genAI for all his video thumbnails (the art style is not as typical for AI slop so I didn't notice for a while). And I'm just so disappointed.

I love, beyond sense or reason, the feel of realistic spacefaring games.

Inspired by the time-honored Traveller rpg, Pioneer looks absolutely stellar. The sky is calling.

It's so weird. #drawSteel just smashed over a million USD but this project is being ignored.

You don't support your 3rd party creators at your peril.

So, instead of the culprit being the corrupting influence of Stalinism, it's now the corrupting influence of ... capitalism? If this was unintentional, it's hilariously, awe-inspiringly horrible.
First trailer for Andy Serkis’ ‘ANIMAL FARM’ has dropped.

In theaters May 1.

Clair Obscur winning GOTY shows that people will stop caring about genAI in games as soon as it's in a game they actually like. You can't rail against ARC Raiders and Where Winds Meet and then turn around with Clair Obscur and go "well actually..."
Sorry I think using AI for placeholders is also bad
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know you only care about finished art but placeholder art also needs to be made by a human being who also needs to be paid for that

But placeholder midjourney slop cuts that artist out

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is proof to me that AI will punch a hole clean through the entire art spectrum because as soon as it was used in something that made you feel something, 90% of so called critics went out of their way to go "well I think it's acceptable in this case"

Wonder why your frame rate is crap, and things are stuttering while you're streaming or playing a game when Discord is open?

Well, these could be the culprit. Turn this stuff off.
