The fan-translated SNES remakes of Dragon Quest 1 & 2 are fantastic! When I was a kid, I got all the way to the end of DQ2 NES, only for my save delete itself. Its still one of the few DQs I never beat, but that is about to change! twitch.tv/finamenon

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Also, most celebrities work in arts and entertainment, the thing that LLMs have been continually ripping off! If LLMs stole your work, your image, and threatened your livelihood, you probably wouldn’t be a fan, either!

Meat Proxies Bonus speedpaint: www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFanta... #webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

Panel 1. Cepper, a Gothic sorceress, walks toward the "Faculty of Fire Magic" (the label is framed on the door). Beyond the door, we see scholars writing grimoires with AI parrots nearby. Signs on the faculty wall read: "Fireballs must be kept at a safe academic distance." and "The Faculty is NOT responsible for burnt eyebrows."
> Cepper: "The Ring of Fire spell... I need it."
> Cepper: "So let's ask someone who knows it, the good old human way."

Panel 2. Cepper is now inside the faculty. She adopts a friendly pose and politely approaches a sorceress scholar halfing fox, red hair, she looks visibly bored or emotionally exhausted. Her AI Parrot writes in a grimoire for her; she barely glances at it.
> Cepper: "Hey, would you happen to know how to cast a Ring of Fire spell? "

Panel 3. The scholar doesn't bother responding herself: she simply asks her AI Parrot.
> Scholar: "Avian Intelligence, tell me how to cast a Ring of Fire spell."
> AI Parrot: "Absolutely! PyroCircus."
* Inserted panel, she repeats the Parrot's words word-for-word while Cepper barely contains her frustration in the background.
> Scholar: "Absolutely. PyroCircus."

Panel 4. Cepper, is intrigued but asks seriously while the scholar maintains her dead-inside expression.
> Cepper: "Wait, you're simply just an AI meat proxy now, aren't you?"
> Scholar: "Avian Intelligence, tell me how to reply to that."

Good primer on Torneko’s Mystery Dungeon. Concerningly, John notes “The credits to this game have a section for AI content” which is concerning considering there was no AI declaration and it’s not specific. Vibe coding? It’s sadly endemic…

We continue to allow these guys to avoid regulation, bend rules, break laws, pay small fines, lobby to enrich themselves and yet we wonder why they feel empowered to act even more egregiously all the time. And yes I do mean them. This rogue "AI" spiel is entirely a failure on their part.

I tested out the earthquake mechanic in Torneko's Mystery Dungeon. I figured it would kick me out of the dungeon, like the unseen force in pokemon md, but Torneko just falls to the next floor. The animation is intense though! Torneko is swallowed by the void! #tnd #dragonquest #mysterydungeon

In-game screenshot of Torneko's Mystery Dungeon. It depicts floor 4 of the mystery dungeon collapsing around him. It reads, "It's an earthquake! The ground cracks open! Torneko is swallowed by the void!"

AI has not made us better, more productive, more successful or grown the economy outside of GPU sales and data center construction. It has also made the price of every single device of every kind more expensive, depressed the housing market, and increased literally everybody’s cost of debt.

For anyone wondering how good old Torneko is fairing in his return to the Magic/Mystery Dungeon here's where he's at. So far it's been fairly smooth sailing thanks to the Joy Ring (1XP for every action). I don't know how deep it is but I'm not struggling (yet). #TornekoLastHope

The Degraded Search Engine Bonus speedpaint: www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFanta... #webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

Panel 1. Cepper, the gothic sorceress, walks toward a large steampunk machine in the center of the library written "Gooblin" on it, colored letters. The machine resembles a rusty block, with a threadmill on one side, a seat and a typewriter-style keyboard.
> Cepper: "A good old 'search engine', this is what I need for my research!"

Panel 2. Close up, Cepper types on the typewriter keyboard, looking at the screen.
> Cepper: "R.I.N.G. O.F. F.I.R.E S.P.E.L.L.S. *enter*"
> Cepper: "...And voilà."

Panel 3. The machine spits out dozens of scrolls and books. Cepper reads them.
> Cepper: "Wait... Why are these results so bad?..."
> Books 1: "(Ad) Ten Fire Spells That Will Change Your Life (You Won't Believe the 7th!)"
> Books 2: "(Sponsored) 15 Spicy Onion Ring Recipes"
> Books 3: "(For you) Top 5 Best Engagement Rings"

> Books 5: "Is Your Fire Spell Not Working? (Try This One Simple Trick!)"
> Books 6: "(Sponsored) Cheap Fire-Resistant Panties! (50% Off Today Only!)"

Panel 4. A librarian approaches, their AI Parrot perched on their shoulder, pointing it. Cepper looks defeated, her eyes blasé.
> Librarian: "Yeah, they tuned it this way so everyone just uses their Avian Intelligence for searching now..."
> Cepper: "...How unsurprising."
