The moment I beat the final Balatro challenge deck after also completing all the other decks on hardest difficulty. I don't think I've ever 100% a game before

Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.

Comping in a much bigger explosion for the Traitors recap made me laugh. Yesterday when the ship "blew up" it was some fireworks from Aldi. Today, it's full on Michael Bay

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

when you find an incredible looking game an you see a no-ai blurb at the end of the description... hell yeah Almost wish steam would make a specific badge for AI-free games now
No AI has been used to generate any code or content in or about the game, and never will be. Slow Roads has been a labour of love since the project began in 2021, and has been built with a decade of experience in 3D graphics and creative software development. Textures are hand-drawn, sounds are recorded locally, and all systems are designed and engineered specifically for the unique context of the game. This is a solo-developed project that I take great care over, and I believe AI simply doesn't belong in creative projects like these.

Please note that procedural generation is not a form of generative AI; the procedures used to generate the world in the game are mathematical functions that have been derived and defined by hand, with direct creative intent.

For those interested in making comics: Please do it. Do it now. Your first few comics will suck, but it will get better with the time and energy you put into it.

More Ripley, first test with acrylics…honestly, I find them pretty tricky to control. Finishing with color pencils and ball point pen (and that's what really saves it) #EllenRipley #Alien #Portrait #acrylics #traditionalart
