This is the most colonizer shit I've heard in a long time.

The art was already here, you navel-gazing tosspots.
You ain't discovered nothing.

What else should a containment suit for a hero who had an alien mother AND a brilliant scientist father who could create a super transformative energy source but not observe standard OSHA precautions look like?

So proud of my #DiabloIV team. We have put years of our lives into building this world, and building to this moment. It is now our honor to share it with all of you. Thank you for taking this journey with us!

Fryno of Skylanders Swap force points at an annoying fly as he tries to do well in anger management therapy.

The Fryno Therapy sketch was started at Vicarious Visions
by the Narrative and Cinematic team. We wanted to play with the toys we created in unexpected ways. Our experiment kicked off a whole set of these vignettes. (Including 1 never released!)

This has been a #Skylanders Fact

It's true. Pretty sure you're a gelfling that got swapped in at the hospital to save the clan.

Wow. What a waste of a great character so far. This card is straight trash and has more ways to make it useless than useful. Hoping for a patch that makes him cool. #MarvelSnap

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor.

stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent.

they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't.

fuck them, pay labor.

Haven't had a birthday party in at least... 15 years? And haven't dressed up for Halloween since the Marvel vs DC party at work in 2019.

This year will be different. This year, Disco is making a comeback.

Even before his current vocalizations, he was absolutely the worst Superman. Behind Broadway Superman.

A "discard" deck in Marvel Snap that suddenly has Magic, Wong and Luke Cage? (To counter every card in the deck I'm playing.)

Me watching all the backpedaling and rationalizing happening on a different part of the internet. Of course they were all paid shills, sweetie. They just chose not to pay them for those other movies. It totally makes sense.

Worldview remains intact!

Nothing like watching the #MarvelSnap Bot "thinking" on turn 6, trying every possible card combination, before throwing the single card that can immediately turn the tide by playing the Arnim Zola that had no business in the deck.

Then loading into Monster Island to screw your Cerebro. *sigh*

Hello! First of all, thank you so much. I loved working on Skylanders and I'm so glad it meant something to you.

As far as Tessa goes, we never gave anyone a specific age. But in my mind she a little younger than Flynn and Cali, possibly the same age as Mags. A "young adult".

This is so vile I don’t want to alt text it. Just know Dark Owl Publishing is run by someone who is extremely racist and talks about hitting protesters with cars.

Usually favorites which are the Classic Comic Covers or as many Dan Hipps as I have for that deck. But also trying to do as many Inked with Cosmic as I can. (I love my Shang Chi with the red, or the inked Jim Lee Cap with Blue. Very cool visuals)

Starting with describing a computer database filled with stolen/unauthorized images as an "artistic tool" immediately devalues whatever argument you're trying to make. No such thing as a GenAI "tool"

It's a Zoltar machine spitting out counterfeit images to people who wish to pretend to be artists.

MARVELSNAP: "We pre-craft all of these decks and do not adjust them based on the game or cards we are facing.

ALSO MARVEL SNAP: "What... this is a totally normal set of cards to be together."
