Long live 2D animation (& practical effects).

just texting 'thinkin about how much I love you', *slams table* fucking gold! you wrote from da heart with your own words. no notes!

even texting 'yo babe, Im at walmart, you need pads or whatever?' obliterates any AI generated sentiment from fuckin orbit. hydrogen-bomb vs. coughing baby type shit.

I'm willing to bet that some of these stylistic decisions are mostly decided by the rich, unimaginative "number go up" dullards who bankroll this stuff. Probably demanding creatives do more of "that thing Spiderverse did" or their project won't get greenlit.

Sorry, double-reply; but "I'm glad the federal agent wasn't found guilty for murdering a citizen; hooray self-defense" is the most dogshit braindead take I think I've ever seen in my life. "Oh you want to tread on me? Let me lie down face up so I can get a lick of that boot while you do so."

"The libs are gonna be so mad when they find out the government has further eroded our right to bear arms and speak freely."

You can't just write your villain character exclaiming how great they feel about their evil plans in a private conversation, it's kind of sloppy writin-

"COOL!!!! I'm excited"

-ok nevermind.

trying to work on your fun little games while the industry falls apart around you:

YOOOOO I LOVE THIS!

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

I highly recommend "A City on Mars" by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith (of SMBC comics). It goes into a lot of the nitty gritty of space civilizations. Meals, shelter, human reproduction, economics, physics, space-politics; all the boring stuff space-settlement enthusiasts tend to skim over.

Do they talk about the regolith that is highly abrasive and sticks to literally everything? The fact that there's only a couple spots where the solar cycle is barely enough to keep you from freezing / burning to death? Do they talk about Biosphere 2: the failed closed-ecosystem experiment on earth?

Fuck You Coinbase, fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you for preying on my nostalgia for music from the 2000s with your fucking karaoke superbowl ad I fucking hate crypto even your ads are predatory. Rest in shit you motherfuckers.

A comic showings cartoon man degrade into a bubble with eyes and a mouth saying that comic work no matter how well drawn they are.

Posting this again to remind you you dont have to be an amazing artist to draw comics!

I'd like to add that like in all industries, when we stop understanding how our tools work, we become entirely dependent on the corporate entities that own the mold. We are trading the ability to build and repair for the convenience of being permanent tenants in someone else's infrastructure/subs.

Sad night... doodled a happy fluffy fella.
Very therapeutic.

Not an expert on it (there are papers written about it using all kinda fancy words)...

But imo it's basically like when you get so focused on something like art, or a game that it becomes somewhat "automatic" like you're not trying, it's just happening. You're locked in to the maximum extent.

"Nothing to see here! He is strong and healthy!"

Stay Fucking, Fucking. 👍

Musk: "We want to make Star Trek real"...

(y'know minus the racial / gender inclusivity, post-scarcity society, egalitarian politics, emphasis on peaceful diplomacy, appeals to scientific evidence over superstition, acting honorably, thinking rationally, engaging in honest debate, being empathetic)

Incredible. Absolute witchcraft.

"Welcome back, here's what you missed: Sven and Michel (roleplaying as 'Artemis' and 'Kitch' respectively) noticed each-other's bulges from across the 'Lakeville Tavern'. Artemis walked over and seductively introduced themselves. They both retired to Kitch's home where many noises were made."

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

X did me a solid by deleting both of my accounts when I stopped using them for about a week. Double-solid by having a completely defective "Recover your account" form where you click the submit button and nothing happens. It's like a cigarette that dissolves the moment you try to smoke it, amazing.

I've been so pessimistic about my art over the last few weeks... I needed to read this, thank you for sharing!

Very cool, absolutely teeming with confidence.
