Proud of all that we accomplished this year. Fantastic slate of videos, hitting every financial goal I set for us, launching our work for hire arm, becoming a more organized team... we did a lot!

It also got a new accolades trailer that may have a familiar quote from SteamDeckHQ in it:

I think a lot of the discussion around AI isn't specific enough or informed enough, and that's why this piece from @edmondtran.bsky.social is so useful and important. These are actual concept artists spelling out in clear, unambiguous terms why Gen-AI is not only unhelpful, it's a nuisance.
We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Sincerely: Is the claim actually that white men are facing systemic discrimination from white men? What are we doing here? It’s frustrating that really “smart” people succumb again and again to these racial propaganda campaigns. Anti-1619, anti-CRT, anti-woke, now rampant anti-white racism hysteria.
