⚔️🔥CAPTURE QUEST: CHARIZARD🔥⚔️ I have wanted to paint this for over a decade and spent the last year of my life fighting to bring it to the finish line. Please take a look, there is a lot to see

Gargantuan illustration of a charizard redesigned in the style of a monster hunter elder dragon. There are 4 hunters attacking him and their pikapalico is readying a voltorb bomb to throw. There is so much stuff in there, I spent a damn year on this. I'm exhausted.

The spin on Gaiders interview and Veilguard is pissing me off, so hey lets read what he ACTUALLY said: that EA fumbled DA because they are idiots, and the DAV team was set up to fail by management Tossing DAV under the bus for the clout is ironic, considering his whole point is that EA did that.

"The way EA looked at it was that Mass Effect was the slick, modern RPG that had action, and they could sell really easily.
Whereas Dragon Age was old-fashioned and focused on story. Our action, ranging from Dragon Age: Origins, was a little bit on the slow, cumbersome side, and then was too fast. They never knew what to do with it. So whenever a Dragon Age game sold well, we got excuses on the opposite side. Basically that it was a fluke."

It's worth noting that Dragon Age:
Inquisition beat EA's sales expectations and became BioWare's most successful game. But EA has always treated Dragon Age, as Gaider says, like "the redheaded stepchild"
"They gave us a head of marketing at one point who literally talked about having to put lipstick on a pig in order to sell it.
When you're on a team and you're hearing this, you're like, 'Alright, what am I supposed to do with this?'''

One of the other reasons Gaider hasn't played it is that he knows "too much about what went on behind the scenes," characterising development as an
"ordeal" where EA "handicapped" the team right from the beginning.
"Electronic Arts really did a number on them in terms of setting them up to fail, honestly. From everything I've been told about the game, it seems like that's exactly what happened. It didn't deliver on a creative level. It didn't deliver the sales. That's part of what EA likes to do too. They require a certain level of sales, and if you don't match that, it doesn't matter how good the game is. If it underperforms, you're essentially dead."

"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse" www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...

businessinsider.com

She won an exemption from using AI at her tech job. The Pope's remarks could fuel similar appeals.

Legal experts say employers must take AI-related religious objections seriously, as a 2023 ruling raised the bar for denying such accommodations.

A tattoo of a crobat (angry purple 4 winged bat pokemon) flying past an orange moon and a cloud. Tattoo on my arm, photo taken by my sister.

A photo of animal crossing new horizons. The player is talking to a horse-like (okapi) villager named Papi, who wears a multicolorcstriped sweater. Papi is asking if the player would like to buy his skeleton. (I did indeed buy his skeleton. April 2020 was a time)

A photo of a bee in bright pink cherry blossoms. Taken in olympiapark in München in march 2024.
