Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

got to thinking about one of my favorite replies i've ever gotten to a post that I had made about Eren and Cahciua
this person gets it
a screenshot of a tumblr reply by siderealcity that says "I love that Erenville and Cahciua's relationship is packed with several layers of "this wasn't supposed to happen." From the very start, on the boat to Tural, Erenville tells us that he never knew his father at all. Cahciua is a single parent. In a society where the men are supposed to be this connecting thread moving between communities, Erenville and Cahciua are already cut off and isolated. In the gatherer role quests, we learn that Shetona men are supposed to leave home when they come of age, to travel and start families. Shunye, the gatherer questgiver, lost his first family when he was about thirty. Just a few years older than Erenville is now. Erenville has stayed with his mother way longer than a typical Shetona boy would have. And Cahciua never once mentions this. Her worries over her son aren't that he's a late bloomer, or he hasn't gone out to start a family, it's that he's unhappy and antisocial. She doesn't encourage him to act like an adult have kids, the way Shunye's sister does, she encourages him to see the world make friends. I get the distinct impression that neither of them wanted to let go yet. Cahciua is trying to gently encourage her son to be independent of her, to explore the world on his own and to bond with others besides herself, but even then, the reward he's promised for finding the Golden City is that they can go exploring together. She doesn't want to let him go, and he doesn't want to leave her, even if it's maybe not in his best interest to stay with his mother forever. And they both know it, but neither one will say it out loud." the second part of the tumblr post that says "He's also only been in Sharlayan working as a gleaner for three years. That's, "I went away to college" amounts of time for us, and since Shetona live for centuries, that could even be seen as "I spent the summer abroad." They fully expected to see each other again. They had all the time in the world left. And then the dome appears. By the time they find each other again, they both have to confront the reality that their time is up and neither one knows how to do it. Not only does Cahciua clearly not know how to tell her son the truth, he doesn't know how to tell his mother that he knows, even after he finds out. If someone says it out loud, it'll become true. There's no taking it back anymore. So they just don't. Sphene is the one who tears them apart. Both in outing Cahciua as Endless and for closing the connection to the cloud. Cahciua is wholly trapped within the dome. The sole adventure she can ever go on her son with is, in fact, the one they have in Living Memory. This is the fulfillment of her promise to him, which makes his reaction to her final request here, I think, that much more poignant. The thing they both wanted, is now the goodbye neither one ever wanted to say. "

Vtubing already shares so much DNA with pro wrestling (character gimmicks, kayfabe, alter egos, improv, evil IRL corporate overlords, etc)

When will they fully COMMIT

Vtuber heel factions. Scripted rivalries. Stunt choreography. Steel chairs.

The end of the year is always my favorite time as a games writer, and I always try to get an interview for one game that really hit me. So here's a big interview with Kazutaka Kodaka and Kotaro Uchikoshi, on creating the wild experiment of The Hundred Line www.inverse.com/gaming/the-h...
'The Hundred Line' Creators Say Risking Bankruptcy For A Game With 100 Endings Was 'Worth It'

A truly great idea. 10,000 ethical assets freely available.

There’s no excuse for resorting to so-called AI with this and the *many* other assets you can use without resorting to laundered plagiarism.

Support real artists, not con artists.
