new gorillaz day mostly an excuse to revisit the greatest tweet ever made

This - after a public consultation that came down c95% against corporate copyright theft - is a hearty move towards this government’s spineless purchased representatives needing to be hoofed in the crotch by us all, in a big queue until they get the message.

The only thing that's bad about #KDE is the sort of slow menu search and the hotspot/screenedges mouse magnet thingy. Oh and the kinda hard to disable ring on volume up/down. But everything is configurable and updates don't break your config, league of their own. No notes.

These are my personal opinions about the operating system age bracket law passed in California (and coming to Colorado): www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/com...

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

nice!

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

Blender's new real-time denoiser just blew my mind! YouTube video by Polyfjord

Great news for #Blender adding #DLSS for #denoising. Been waiting a few months for this hope it merges soon. youtu.be/iBiSKfjTNDY

Oh. Then we'll all delete Discord.

Wonder what happened to all the brilliant new ideas genAI was going to help bring to life. We’re over two years in now, anybody seen any?

AI is a tool of fascism. Full stop. It was created for the specific purpose of stealing the work of others, demoralizing artists, and eliminating middle class jobs to push creators out of art and into the lowest paying work. When you endorse AI slop, that’s what you’re endorsing.

sorry for no new art in decades, but what I want to show you, I can't - and what I can show, I don't want to.

Ah yes, 60 second long video’s based off successful games that have tens of thousands of hours of video to train off is clearly the path to making games from now on.

Investors are not real people and I’m impressed they function at all in normal society.

Great! now I can delete even harder, ty :D

Learned today my job at Build A Rocket Boy is at risk of redundancy due to mass layoffs.

If anybody knows of studios hiring mid-level Concept Artist / Marketing Artist / QA Analyst or Associate Production roles I would be eternally grateful for any help, reposts would also be hugely appreciated 🙏

lately? a quick shower does it for a brain reset, maybe a coffee also.

Hand holdin nothing overs over unmanned milk jug pouring milk in to coffee cup with regular barista milk pouring design, that's thankfully being hold by hand

Try these fun novel ways to make your coffee!

Industry friends! A colleague I work closely with on Project Borealis has unfortunately been affected by the Respawn layoffs and is currently looking for Senior Level Designer roles (or similar) in the US. Would *hugely* appreciate any reposts and please let me know of any studios that are hiring 🙏

More stuff from that cancelled project, first image shows what 90% of the job is. The thought / work which led to the last 3 images.

Chainsaw Man fanart depicting Denji and Asa in the aquarium from Part 2, with water ominously leaking throughout the corridor and a huge Makima Bean-style plush toy of Fami blocking their path.

Fami Bean

I’ve wanted to make some art of the aquarium scene from Chainsaw Man for a while now.

Spent ridiculously long researching Japanese aquarium infographics and getting everything down to even the pipe layout matching the manga panels, but feel it was worth it 🫠

Just posted my work on Project Borealis: Prologue, give it a look if you're into shooting zombies :D www.artstation.com/artwork/lGlneG #half-life

[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

Hell YES 🔥 🔥 🔥

I understand that Big Brother Musk is now going through Americans' tax returns. Remember that IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH and FREEDOM IS SLAVERY.

Just learned that Victor Antonov just passed away - art director of Half Life 2 and art lead of Dishonoured. Probably some of if not the best art directed games of all time. HL2s has always been a massive influence on me since I first played it as a 17 year old. What a tragedy, he was only 52
