As I have always said: amateur art by humans will always be infinity more charming than anything AI, because the choices come from real desire.

Chinaโ€™s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy โ€˜Niu Laiโ€™ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

I think it's beautiful when art effects people so deeply they'll go to these lengths to try to save a particular project, I just wish we had any kind of organized body for creative workers across industries that could funnel this energy into actually supporting the people who created the art

Does it need to be said that Mass Effect shouldnโ€™t exist without the developers and team that was working on this game? Either they come back and make the game they were, or Mass Effect dies. kotaku.com/mass-effect-...

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

I just found out about Walter Koenig, weird that Star Trek TOS was already on my mind. I know he was brought on to ST to 'appeal to kids,' and for me, it worked, he was my favorite character on the show for a long time. Very sad news.

In "Peanuts," Linus first mentioned the Great Pumpkin on October 26, 1959, creating what would go on to become an indelible cultural icon. Hereโ€™s that strip, followed by the rest of that weekโ€™s dailies:

As an illustrator, Mass Effect has inspired me endlessly. I hope that it can be saved. Please join us here: c.org/mvcD6cB5BQ #SaveMassEffect #MassEffectIsAlive #MassEffect

I feel like all the Bioware retrospectives have not yet dwelt enough on what an absolute watershed Femshep was in terms of female playable protagonists

I never worked on the ME franchise, but I did play the shit out of the games (and felt a bit envious about some things that team seemed to do so effortlessly). My heart goes out to those who were on the current team, cooking up something wonderful only to have it yanked away. This looks SO good. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Can confirm that this is a real trailer of the Mass Effect game that BioWare was developing up until its closure yesterday www.reddit.com/r/masseffect...

If you ever wondered why the first Dragon Age took over 6 years to develop (and almost got canceled), this article goes into partly why: the team couldn't agree on what *kind* of fantasy our new fantasy game was going to be. Yes, there's an alternate universe out there where it was more Conan. ๐Ÿ˜‰

To honor one of the studios that defined PC gaming, we've republished more than 20 articles about BioWare today. The pcgamer.com homepage is dedicated to interviews, retrospectives, and making-ofs about some of the best RPGs of all time.

The BioWare news is heartbreaking and infuriating in equal measure. That teams games pioneered choice-based storytelling in a way that fundamentally shaped games as we know them. It deserved that one last shot at Mass Effect. Such a shame.

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.

Analogue horror Godzilla I painted. Some friends think itโ€™s just goofy but some others think itโ€™s really creepy. I think itโ€™s both somehow.

Metallica, the Band that put the donโ€™t tread on me snake on their album cover, along with a song called โ€œDonโ€™t Tread on Meโ€, would like you to know they avoid politics
