Ah you know what, fair enough. As much as, to me, all these universes feel like the inauthentic, uncreative, soulless machinations of an algorithm-led profit committee, I’m sure much of the art I like is shitty pretentious drivel to other people.

The world is fucked, everything is hard. If people like this, I’m happy they’ve got something that makes their life feel easier, just for a bit.

Certainly not in any big budget mainstream movie there won’t be, because the LLMs used to generate script prompts for the LLMs used to generate visuals and audio clips wouldn’t understand why a human using an AI to fake a human interaction because they’re soul-crushingly lonely would be sad.

Honestly, it might even be generated as a “happy” scene, to show a “normal” life in the future as product placement for the AI companies as they try to exploit fomo to dig their way out of their inevitable fifty trillion dollar income deficits

Wow, I’m genuinely not excited for or interested in the future at all. Oh.

Your work is always so sick. Love the attitude in your work; it’s so angular, and aggressively posed. The line work is beautiful. The shadows are so deep and so clean. Very impressive stuff, you’ve clearly worked hard!

Oh right, lol. Thanks for letting me know

Nothing on earth could get me to click a shady looking link from somebody so focused on how little children dress. Very weird shit mate.

What the fuck is going on in your head dude

Why is anyone reporting on what the world’s luckiest ket head thinks? Who cares? His brain is full of holes. He did nazi salutes and is a right-wing extremist. At least most ket heads just stop showering, get really into camping at festivals, and listen to shit music. This one talks too much.

God I love this, SO cool! Did you pull from any inspiration for these shapes or was it more of an exercise in being led by your hand and seeing the geometry as you went along?

Amazing work!!!

I wonder if they’ve figured out that because they just release essentially the same game every year (for this franchise and other sports franchises like FIFA) with different content, it’ll be cheaper for them to just basically sell a patch?

Just read the article to confirm - yup, it’s a paid “expansion”. God, that’s so funny.

Why even bother spamming this comment section with a lazy copy/paste like this? You don’t got no brain to think for yourself or something man?

Oh, that’s strange! And you’re saying that this happens only on this map? The not-full-width thing, I mean?

When you say “it doesn’t run full width”, what do you mean? I’m not following either 😅 do you mean the split screen is vertical (i.e. side-by-side) rather than horizontal (i.e. one on top of the other)?

I usually choose to have a podcast or music on, but sometimes it’s really nice to just appreciate my surroundings. I like to hear birdsong, or the wind, the rain. Even cars passing. It’s nice to be grounded in the world.

Even when I have music, I spend most of my time when I walk (which is a lot) not looking down at the ground. I look around, and I try to appreciate the little things. The other day, I noticed a really, really polished front door on a house I was walking past. The wood was so bright red and all of the metal was this gleaming silver, it was really striking! There are wild parakeets in the city I live in, so getting the chance to see these beautiful green birds swoop overhead is a treat, too. Where I live is quite hilly, so getting to see what I think are beautiful views of the urban sprawl interspersed with big tree plumages in the green spaces is pleasant, too. Sometimes it’s quite imposing, it’s not always a pretty and cheery sight, but it’s always beautiful.

When I don’t have music or podcasts playing, I feel like I can appreciate those sights a bit more. Picking up on snippets of other people’s lives is interesting, and I find my mood is easier regulated when I just ground myself in the world around me rather than disappearing up into my head with the podcast or music playing. If I have sound on that I focus on, I’ll often not really remember my walking to and from work, but if I’m just experiencing the world, I’ll usually find something memorable. I find that slowing down and taking the time away from tech has been nice for me, sometimes.

No, it doesn’t.

It might feel “aggressively confrontational” to you, but I find your weird tone policing to be “aggressively confrontational”.

Greed

Oh. Gross.

Hmm, notorious bastard company obviously fires a bunch of employees for wanting to unionise to protect themselves from notorious bastard management, gets backlash, and then says “no, they were actually a bunch of very naughty employees! if you’re not a naughty employee, you’ve got nothing to fear” yeah fuckin right.

I’d ask if they think everyone in the world is stupid but they made billions off of GTA online and this won’t affect their reputation (or bottom line) one iota so… I mean yes, we’re all stupid.

That sounds interesting. Best of luck, I love your work with the paintings btw, watching your journey on the Samuel L Jackson portraits actually inspired me to pick up my drawing tablet again!
