My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good."

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence

"Professor?"

In Command at E3 1998: Westwood Studio and Dune 2000's demo booth, as sufficiently grungy as the game's UI itself. One of my favourite remasters in all but name. And very cool to see it presented like this. 💿: PC-X December 1998 (IA)

An 800x600 res photo of an elaborate booth and demo setup with a cyberpunky bare metal and circuitry chair, grungy metal plating and monitor chasis and screens giving you the vibes of something you'd sit in in-universe. Someone's sat in it with their hand on the mouse in by the CRT monitor.

Another classic, not sure if I've already posted this one here.

The image is a six panel black and white comic.

Panel 1 - a girl sits at her desk in front of a computer, looking disheartened. She says, "I dont know if I should post this art, who would even want to see it?"

Panel 2- A new person bursts through the door in the background with a loud BAM

Panel 3- The new person pushes the girl out of the way, smushing her face in the process, while slamming their fist down on the keyboard.

Panel 4- The computer shows that the art has been posted

Panel 5- The person makes direct eye contact with the girl while pushing their finger against their own phone screen

Panel 6- A motion blur is added to the last panel, enhancing the impact of the new notifications on the new post. It reads, "(Friend) Liked Post just now" Followed by "(Friend) commented 'I FUCKING LOVE THIS AND I LOVE U'"

Underneath the last panel is a watermark that reads, Shubbabang

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?

4 panel comic: Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here” Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!” Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much” Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!

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...

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.

In this day and age you can't even be sure if you should be angry at a human or a dumb algorithm for this glaring error. Still a great joke poster, though, we appreciate that people still know who Klingons are.

Just watched this with the family, we loved it. A lovely, unconventional docudrama about the life of Paula Modersohn-Becker, the greatest unknown (or recently rediscovered) expressionist painter (there should be a word for lady painters... paintress, paintrix?) strongly recommend. 📽

I'm an official D&D/MTG illustrator working on a game that's p much a love letter to everything I like about RPGs. and more: it's pay-what-you-like. get OMIOS URES for free if you want, I don't care. spread the word, play the game once with your group and I guarantee they will want a campaign. :)

page of OMIOS URES. digital painting over graphite sketch of a chameleon hunter with a hand cannon. his prehensile tail is holding a torch behind him, and various items are strapped to his body. a bandolier with potions, a large bag with a bear trap sticking out, a fairy in a cage hanging from a rod. waterskin, pocket watch, sleeping bag, retro aviator-like goggles on his forehead. he walks hunched, as if sneaking about, and his delicate gait - exactly like a chameleon's - is a visual play, resembling the tippy toe walk of a cartoonish hunter

ITEMS ITEMS ITEMS

The following pages cover a number of ordinary (and extraordinary) miscellania favored by adventurers.

When employing an item’s Skill Check for a NPC, replace the skill with the NPC’s Body, Mind or Magic. An NPC trying to break out of manacles uses Body instead of Physique.

It took a little while for the punctuation used daily now in Japanese to take hold. One expert points to a 1925 article in Asahi Shimbun that criticizes the text of Japanese laws for not using punctuation in a column labeled “The Problems of Today.”

Unpopular (?) opinion: I don't hate The Chronicles of Riddick. 📽️ I can see its flaws, its indulgence, but c'mon it's got tons of ambition, the concept artists had a field day, it has a lot of style and the prison sequence is still very solid, gritty neo-western SF. Anyone else's 2 cents? #Riddick
