artwork, sega megazone, magazine (1995) archive.org/details/mega...

strangely erotic piece of artwork featuring a buff almost naked woman (shiny chrome covering the essentials), riding a shiny chrome dragon. her face is wide eyed and she is reaching behind her back to pull her sword out of its sheath. buff, winged, naked demons are also featured prominently.

I want a remake of this game so badly. The concept and gameplay is brilliant. You construct your own questions. But the graphics are awful, it's slow moving, and it can be really obtuse as to what to do next.

I hope that Jabu Jabu's Belly is a David Cronenberg esque body horror style dungeon.

one of my most popular designs

a black and white typography edit. there is white text that reads "don't want to see trans people? pluck out your eyes." in the middle of the design is a hand holding a scorpion by the tail. between the scorpion's claws is a human eyeball. the entire image is edited to look photocopied.

I got that game for my birthday when it came out. My friend and I spent all afternoon on that damn level. We got further with each try until finally my friend cleared it. If I wasn't so hyped up for the game, I probably would have given up on it. Such a good game.

I so wanted that game when it was being previewed in EGM. It would have been a day one purchase for me along with the 64DD.

I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!” And I hate to say it But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas Quit.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

This was originally going to be done for a challenge on a Discord server but I ran out of time. I liked where it was going so I decided to finish it up.

Yeah, I don't care for abstract art. I do use a Keurig but that's only at work so I don't really have a choice there. However, I do use my own refillable cups which shows me to use the coffee of my choice and to not generate so much trash.

To add: GenAI is environmentally damaging & exploitive to workers. It's only purpose is to generate profits for the ruling class. There are so few benefits to GenAI that it needs to be fought against. It's not inevitable. Inaction makes it inevitable & the ruling class wants us to think that.

My first published game work. I was just hired as QA and I worked on this for one week before I was moved onto a different project. I think I found one bug on this and it ended up being a duplicate.

I don't know about all time but I really dig this one. I didn't know it was a cover at first. And I was surprised to hear that the original A-Ha version is pretty heavy. youtu.be/TM_8PCvvz40?...
