Variation upon the well-known XKCD cartoon showing all modern digital infrastructure as an unstable structure. In this variation, the sturcture is covered by a thick muddy sludge, indicated as AI slop.

Can we go back to Evan Stanley just being an artist for Sonic IDW and not the lead writer? They really need some young-and-hungry new blood in the writing room again; these road to 100 issues are just so weak.

The Disney renaissance movies used to look different. They were planned to be printed on 35 mm film -- that's how they were first released. Modern editions skip that last step in the process. It was a highly developed, overlooked craft, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/disneys-fi...

This, this, 100% this. Having an outlet that doesn't need to comply with corporate decision making is so important as a creative.

steam AI disclosures are so funny. they clearly know they're in the wrong, but they still think they can find the magic combination of words so people will make an exception for them. guys you don't understand i HAD to use AI and the game only has a LITTLE slop and i'm just a little birthday boy

@arrowvideo.bsky.social any chance you guys will do a non-limited edition of your Robocop 4K release with BOTH the director's cut and theatrical cut? Kind of a shame that the theatrical cut (and TV cut for that matter) is pretty much unavailable first-hand now. Is it a licensing issue?

Game studio announcements be like, “We laid off all your favourite devs! But don’t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!”

Why not all of the Unreal games? It's not like they're doing anything with 2003/2004, UT3, Unreal 2 or the UC games. Remember, those were all removed from storefronts, too. They gave UT4 the finger before it was finished as well. They owe us more.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Remember those who have been killed, injured, abused, tortured for being who they are. Remember those who have taken their own lives because they could not live in a world where they could not be themselves. Remember them. And make the world remember them.
Light blue, pink, and white candles on a black background, arranged in the order of the Transgender Pride flag. Beneath, the text "TRANSGENDER DAY OF REMEMBRANCE NOVEMBER 20" is displayed.
