Now that I have fully played it, I can state so confidently that Forsaken Kingdom is the best Warcraft story we have gotten since Mists of Pandaria. It is *the* definitive Forsaken story, with such a grasp on their themes. I cannot recommend enough that you play it for yourself.

Over the years of my life, I’ve collected a lot of Halloween clothing items. So the moment it’s September I wear them so I get plenty of use. Here’s a handful featuring some of my favorite vests. I share my fits on insta every night.

Anyway

Ben, 64, Northampton, MA, 2014
I identify as an FTM, non-hormone, non-op, transsexual heterosexual man. That's the whole string of it. I was in the lesbian community when I was younger, but I never
really fit. That was the 1970s and there really wasn't the language then about transmen or FTMs or any of that. I didn't have that accessible to me as an identity. I thought, "I'm the only one on the planet like me," but then in 1985, Lou Sullivan sent his little booklet through the mail to the archives I was working on. It was
"Information for the Female-to-male Crossdresser and
Transsexual," a little booklet that he self-published with a little handwritten note that said, "Maybe some people in your archive would want to read this." Even though
he didn't know me, he didn't know who he was sending this to, I read it. I read it and within two hours I called him and I said, "I gotta meet you, because now there's two of us, you know, on the planet." And I flew to San
Francisco to meet him.

When I got there, I dressed up super masculine. I even
wore temporary facial hair, because I wanted to
demonstrate to him that I was a man. So, he opens the door and he is this little frail ninety-eight pound gay guy with a t-shirt on and I thought, "Well, he's a man and he's kinda like me, but he's kinda not like me." We ended up talking for five hours straight in his kitchen. In the middle of it, he told me he had to get up and take his AZT. I hadn't known that he had HIV/AIDS, but I realized
then that I was making the closest friend of my entire
lite, the most pivotal individual for me, and that I was losing him at the same time. We corresponded until he
died and when he died, I started the East Coast FTM
Group because I had nobody and he had asked me to
head up his group in San Francisco, which I couldn't do.

I always felt some resistance to the fact that I didn't
transition medically, but over time I started to find
transsexuals who had not transitioned medically, or who
had transitioned partially and then stopped, like my
friend Leslie Feinberg. Eventually I found more people with the idea that, "I'm already me, I don't need any medical intervention to become me." It took a ten-year
journey with a gender counselor to give myself permission around this, because it is not popular, even
in our community.

My love for swords and plate armor kinda won out over the years, but Warcraft 3 Illidan was like *the* character design of all time for me when I was a kid. I'd draw like horns, wings, glaives and big baggy pants on characters all the time bc of him

I don't know how to get this information without having the beta ( i don't wanna play it ) but does anybody know if the dev team for WoW Forever made any brand new in-game assets that emulates the original vanilla WoW art style? Like, not reused textures or anything, created for WoW Forever. ty sor

After coming to terms with being disabled as a teenager, I kind of gave up on my future in any kind of art industry. But getting into MtG last year sparked a new dream of hoping I could do art for a card someday.

GDT's reddit AMA spitting fire www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...

reddit comment:

Hello! Did you intend the ending of Pan’s labyrinth to be real or in Ofelia’s mind?

Guillermo Del Toro's reply:

My interpretation, and it's exclusively mine, is that it's real.

Because there's two things. One is what people call “The Shining Question.” The Shining Question is, Who opens the door for Jack to get out of the fridge? And Ofelia is in an attic with a guard outside her door, and she draws the door with the magic chalk, and she shows up in the labyrinth. So, the only way she could have gone into the labyrinth is the magic chalk. And the flower is real at the end. The flower that blooms in the dead tree. And the reason I think it’s real is because—and this is why I'm in favor of the human factor in art—I think that art does transform the world. You know?

Think about it for a second. One of the goals, with all this movement, is to make you believe that art is vulgar. That art is nothing special, and anybody can do art. That is like me telling you that I'm faster at running than Usain Bolt but I “run” in my motorcycle. Well, that's not the same. That’s not the same at all.

Art is important, and they want you to believe it isn't. It's part of the idea of control. The goal is not to have artificial intelligence. The goal is to foster natural stupidity. The goal is to foster you not looking for answers, and to trust yourself entirely to an engine. Look at the way we are dipping our toes into these things. We are starting to ask the machine, Is this true? For now, there's a correlation between reality and what the answers of the machine are. For now. But soon, we won't even investigate further. We will be told it's true. And if the machine is in the hands of somebody who should not be trusted, then your reality has been completely and utterly fucked. Because your intelligence ends at the question. You don't seek the answer. It's given to you.

Q: You recently mentioned that AI creates 'semi-compelling screensavers' and that you'd 'rather die' than use it. As a filmmaker who relies heavily on practical effects and creature design, what do you think is the biggest thing lost when a computer generates an image instead of a human hand?

GDT:

The three quarters of the process that gave you the chance to think of the idea that people don't think about without that process. Meaning, AI can get you to the middle really fast, but there's a dialectic with the process that gets you to that top 10%. I'll give you an example with the Pale Man.

We sculpted it as an old man, with a face. And then I said, Let's take out the face. This happened because I saw a photo of a manta ray and the poster for Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm. That combination, which happened at two different times during a week or a month, are not permutations that are chemically part of an equation. They are alchemy. And then I said, Take out the face, and then I said, Let's put the eyes on the hands. This triangulation happens because I spent a month or two months living with the idea of this creature. And it's not linear.

AI is like a super-fast engine that makes semi-sentient permutations of things that are already done. Creation is things that have never been done. Coming to exist.

And the second thing is the loss of the apprenticeship that one has as an artist. You're never a master; you're always an apprentice. This is a kinship I have with, for example, Chris Nolan. When he showed me The Odyssey, there’s a scene when Matt Damon is floating in the stormy ocean and I asked him—because we were talking about practical effects, and how great it is and that we both always use a maquette or a model—and I asked him, How did you do it? He said, “We put him in a storm in the ocean.”

And you're gonna find that 30% of a great image occurs accidentally. You know, either a drop of water hits the lens, or the camera shakes. I remember when in 1993, '94, Jim…

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes
