Trying a new medium. I've only really done pixel art until now so I'd appreciate some feedback. How does this feel? What works and what doesn't? I know I kind of messed up the perspective on the background, and there are some irregularities in spacing, but in general? 1/2 #gamedev
A painting.

Bloody sunset. A vast city sprawls across the horizon, split by a wall. There is no gate. To the right, a thicket of buildings shrouds the ground, interrupted by megastructures. An energy dome. A featureless cube the size of a city block. Runed obelisks atop networks of lines. A river depletes from a portal, kidnapped from some distant lake. Above all, a tower, rising, stretching, piercing the clouds, shining like gold. A park and a lake complete the scene.

To the left, a wall of skyscraping factories. A vast desert. Roads. Buildings that look like little ants next to what's on the other side. Nothing but stone and dust under an open sky.

The viewer stands on a crystalline bridge. Before them is a man wearing a strange headpiece. A camera. Scrolls wrapped into a turban wrapped around an antenna. Scripture unfurled like a tattered cloak. Aside from his shorts, that is all he wears. A fighting stance signals hostile intent.

The author is not quite sure if the man is cool or extremely silly or both..

The time saved on things like active coding was overwhelmed by the time needed to prompt, wait on, and review AI outputs, according to the study.

One of the best JRPGs ever made, and I've played many. Challenging combat, great music, and an initially minimal narrative that unfolds into something beautiful. If you like dungeon crawling and have the patience to power through an overly easy opening segment, don't miss out!

I need you to hear a few bullet points before I hit the end point: *The Portage Sheriffs used inmates for security and other services. *The Portage Sheriffs conducted false arrests to acquire inmates. *The Portage Sheriffs profited off the labor of their inmates. Slavery is alive and well in 2024.

So, how do you prevent Bluesky's image-scaling algorithm from messing up pixel art? Try as I might, I can't prevent blurring, but other people seem to manage so there must be a way. Any help would be appreciated. Please and thank you. #pixelart
A pixel art image depicting two figures standing in front of an otherworldly city. Bright colors, blue skies, green grass.

To the left, a creature comprised of "IV" bags and tubes. Organs float freely in the churning fluids. Nerves and eyes and brains and more. Two tentacles hold ray guns.

To the right, a red-haired woman with heels to match, wearing a blue dress and a ribbon too. A brush tinged red is gripped firmly in one hand, and a cocktail glass in the other.

In the background, the city. Skyscrapers striped with glass windows stretching across floors. Factories and glass domes and a great black cube, featureless. Barely noticed are the little houses near the bottom, dwarfed by peers.

A text box reads: "Wish you were here".

I wrote about the study of Ritchie et al. 2015 which concluded that education influences specific skills but not a general factor of intelligence. Re-analysis of the same data shows that an influence directly on intelligence actually fits much better, a complete reversal.

In case you're in any doubt about the need for action on scientific racism: in the last month alone, four new papers have been published using Lynn's scientifically worthless 'national IQ' data. Two were published in Elsevier journals and one in a Springer journal 😐
