Fromsoft players are like... damaged. Speaking as someone who loves the games, the community is insufferable in their attitude that the game has a "right" way to be played. (Probably born from the "Its so hard!" circle jerk early coverage/marketing of DS1 spawned)

I knew this would finally bite Atlus in the ass. Good.
Sega has admitted sales of its games may be lower-than-expected due to players awaiting "definitive editions" before buying. https://bit.ly/4imXUqA

This is an economic indicator. Younger people with tons of free time have less money for games and the entire hobby is skewing more expensive and older. As incomes drop and time ALSO becomes scarce then waiting for discounts just gets more and more appealing.

When helicopters land in desert zones, sand grains strike the fast-spinning metal blades, creating a ring of white-hot sparks around the rotor. Called the Kopp-Etchells effect, it's often seen during night operations.

Ontario passed a law starting Jan 2026 that it is illegal for companies to ghost you.
If you have interviewed for a job they are legally required to inform you if they hire someone else or close the position.
The law also requires salary transparency on listings and disclosing use of AI

Almost lost all my personal work, a few years ago, because of a hard drive crash.
I had purchased another HD and made a copy of my files, TWO DAYS before it happened (best buy ever, IMHO).
Don't forget the IT moto : "If you have one copy, you have no copy"

Unsolicited artist advice of the day: if you're a freelancer with no back up devices or storage, remember to pick a few things up in the black Friday sales. Even a pen drive to back up your projects so if you have a catastrophic hard drive failure you wont lose everything..learn from my mistakes. 😅

After speaking with a Friend (About Dungeon crawler Carl), I have decided that the most practical magic item is a bed that let’s you get a full night’s rest for only 2 hours.

I put 70 hours into Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. The game’s combat still hasn’t clicked at all, and I am worried I wont be able to beat the game if the main campaign requires any of it. The combat really sucks: if *Anyone* has a shield in their hands the A/i fights way too defensively. Terrible.

I got semi forced into an audio book club at work by way of a gift copy of “Ready player One” by Ernest Cline (2011). I was initially “ok” with the movie, but soured on it later (as the film that wanted to appeal to two different age groups, but didn’t do either Well). The book is better.

Worked myself into a huge tizzy the last 2 weeks over the idea of getting “credit for one’s hard work” despite an atmosphere where artistic IP is wholesale disrespected every second of every day (See call of Duty 7 A/I scandal). I just want to protect my world building effort against this crap.

Alright, anything “Prince Tomcat” related is going to have all kinds of styles, from the toony to the monstrous. I will experiment with designs as I go. Hopefully I will have something more Eldritch by the time I get back to Atol Lab. Same Charecters, just different ways to draw them. TF Alt modes

Thinking of changing the designs of my Characters to a more monstrous, and At least legally distinct version of the kinds of planes, tanks, trucks I normally use. It might read better/fit thematically for the Dire machine story to have a less confusing format for a number of reasons. (1)

Because of the 2 game awards coming up, I restarted KCD2 to get a true and honest opinion. The trouble is, i feel soo damn guilty not working on art. The next comic page is ready to go, and I’m just living the medieval polish life picking flowers, throwing dice, and getting drunk before bed.

"But we're assuring them it won't be trained off their work!"
Trying to explain that's not the point, that the damage is done, but they can't get their heads around it. Graphic designers once again stumped by the idea of solidarity

AI's not delivering. They're reaching out to illustrators asking if they can make base illustrations for the AI to animate. Everyone's saying no.
Lol. Lmao, even.

Last night Swede linked to an interesting article about a Japanese game company’s efforts to normalize the use of Furry design within their 25 year? Operation. Its a fascinating article about the slow gradual realization of the differences between Kemono, and Kemonomimi . bsky.app/profile/auto...
