Universities are still out here just teaching only photoshop texturing like it’s the early 2000s, it’s criminal. 😱

Not a huge contemporary art fan, but I find Yayoi Kusama’s mirror boxes emotional experiences

Most the talks for expo pass at #gdc are on implementing AI in games, and they’re full if you don’t line up 1 hour early…
So went across the street to look at human made art instead at #sfmoma

I did something dumb
A calvin and hobbes meme explaining that all RPGs can be traced back to Ultima and Wizardry in 1981. Every game is either a play on ultima or wizardry. This extends to JRPGs because Dragon's Quest was influenced by Ultima and all dungeon crawlers are based on Wizardyr. Elder Scrolls is a Wizardry and Baldur's Gate is an Ultima. Wizardry was so popular in Japan it persisted for years exclusively in Japan as its own sub franchise before Digital Extremes remastered the series. SMT is a wizardry. Most Atlus and Xseed Dungeon Crawlers are.

As a reminder: Several studies have been done looking into the link between video games and gun violence

Oxford found no relationship

APA doubled down that there was no correlation

Funko pop couldn't stop at taking over one game storefront they came for itch too??
brandon.insertcredit.com Brandon Sheffield @brandon.insertcredit.com · Dec 9
Indie devs and a major game storefront losing revenue because Funko used an AI tool to confuse a domain registrar that has no appeals process is a very 2024 enshittification stew
itch.io itch.io @itch.io · Dec 9
I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain
