Dude, I'm crashing out because they literally recasted Jim Cummings for fucking Mark Hamill. No disrespect to Mark but like he doesn't work as DW. On top of that, the design honestly is such cheeks, I'm so sorry and of course Seth is Launchpad- they literally promised the OG cast, what happened?

Spoilers: it's the crappy AI upscaled that WildBrain has been doing. Just watch the show on Paramount+/ Pluto TV or try and find the Shout Factory set at a reasonable price! #FuckGenAI #Sonic #MeTVToons

I'm so glad that people are now realizing how much a hack and a tool Dave Lee Down Under is. Dave Lee is literally a poser disguised as an animation historian. Yet, Disney still partners with him because it's "good for PR" and he goes and says this shit. 💀 #DaveLeeDownUnderIsAHack

So they'd rather have a short/pilot done by r4pist Andrew Dickman versus having a short done by another creative. Really tells you something here, don't it? 🤢

Your bad art is better than AI slop.

four frame comic. first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won't go to your event if the poster was made by AI. second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won't read your post or email and I won't watch your video if they were made with AI. third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won't patronize your shop or restaurant if it is advertised with AI. last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can't take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?

This week's pain featuring my local #Cinemark and the upcoming film #CoyoteVSAcme, which seriously, you have to support.

A meme based on a scene from Fairly OddParents with the top text saying, "This is where I'd put my ticket for Coyote VS Acme!" and underneath, "If my Cinemark said that they were showing it!"

Along with that, there came a few alternative logos mainly to demonstrate the alternate partner system for each save. So you could have Sonic & Tails, Knuckles & Amy, and a spotlight to the new character for this game, Atlas the Beetle who I'm sure will get showcased once the OST drops. (2/2)

So, back over a year ago, I came back to make an updated logo for #SonicHysteria at the request of @nicocw.bsky.social. However, now that the game is canned (but not the OST), I can share the logo before the official soundtrack gets uploaded! #SonicTheHedgehog #Sonic #FanGame #GraphicDesign (1/2) 🧵

This is literally grounds for a lawsuit for not only using works without authorization but also using someone's likeness without permission. I truly believe that Ken did this maliciously because I know for a fact that man hates Ian. I feel so bad for Ian and Tracy on this because holy shit 😭

The absolute state of gaming in the big 2026

Playstation, Xbox, and Epic Games send themselves back to the lobby with baffling business decisions, while Steam is executed by AI tech giants. Nintendo sits in the middle, confused and contemplating how it will live up to Playstation and Xbox's legendary failures.

I specifically told him not to include me in this. Not my face, not my name, nor my work. He did so anyway. But then again that's just the type of person he is. *edited b/c of typos. I blame the severe headache that started before seeing this. It isn't helping.
