Fall [part 1/3]

A cartoon crow is looking up as orange, red and yellow fall leaves dance in tje wind around him.

The crow is walking on the crunchy leaves, saying "what a perfect day!"

The crow is marveling at how lovely all the leaves are, new seeing a stone in his path.

The crow trips on the stone right on his face.

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

DC covers we love.

Batgirl Vol. 1 #23

By Damion Scott.

Probably my favorite Scott cover for this series. Just the way the words Batgirl are used and way Cass is posed.

The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7

People who think it doesn't make sense for mutants to exist alongside non-mutant supereroes within the larger Marvel universe have no idea what they're talking about.

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

I'm live in 30 and tonight we're tackling the question of generating passages between rooms in our #CyclicDungeons dungeons.

And maybe I'll end up rigorously contemplating geometry, as a treat, if we make good progress. 😄

See you there! #gamedev

Here are his sexy George Lucas paintings.

Going to stress again that even though this also ideologically sucks, it's also just a lie. This article is basically an advertisement, and you should view it with the same skepticism with which you'd view a listing for $10 vacuum that says it's entirely silent.

In Transformers Beast Wars, Rattrap calls Arcee his great aunt. So I drew Arcee as a mouse. I think mouse mode is cute!

Was there ever an official Rattrap repainted as Arcee, like a BotCon thing or something?

A white mouse with pink nose, feet and tail. She turns into a robot. Her tail becomes a long rifle.

NEW BLOG POST: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 borrows plenty of things from other games, but does so fully understanding why they work and what it can do with them to tell its own story.

Thief of Joy – Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

This article contains spoilers for the entire game. To begin with I think it’s worth establishing some context around particular styles of role-playing games (RPGs). Normally there’s a distinction …
