seeing this kind of noodle in UE and trying to follow it to some other godforsaken chunk of code will always be extremely funny. where are we going, noodle? do we need a car to get there? how much will it cost us? what kind of people will we have become by the time we arrive?

ok, help. i was trying to make a joke to someone about how all video game art direction in 2024 is "sky whales and friendly golems" and i was trying to find THE ORIGINAL sky whale. the first time i think i can remember seeing one is on the cover of Flight in 2004. Is there anything older?

a relative bought my kid a bedtime book where the art is AI generated. the text is… either chatGPT generated, or written by someone with a shaky command of english. I have no idea how the relative chose THIS book since it has like 5 reviews on Amazon but it’s so bad it’s funny
