Not casting aspersions towards you personally, but we all know how gamer boycotts go generally. As in, they don’t. People cave and buy the games anyway, once they’re over the initial outrage. This is 100% marketing.

I have come to accept that this is a PR campaign to plaster the name everywhere all over social media and let it worm its way into currently pissed off gamers’ heads for a few months down the line when they’ve calmed down and inevitably buy the fucking thing.

Pitchford is a slimeball. Rarely has a man who is allegedly not an insurance or used-car salesman given off such nakedly scummy vibes.

We need to stop giving free publicity to this little marketing man, and to this poorly optimised, expensive game.

Jesus Christ no

Why does he look like a megachurch pastor in this thumbnail?

Additionally, people are still buying this strange little man’s games? Why? Lol

Thank you 😊 I’ll try! 🫡 You, too!

Well done, that’s huge! I’m around four and a half months sober myself 🥳

You’re welcome - looking forward to seeing what else you create! 🥳

This is beautiful. You did great with the waves, they’re so expressive!

That game looks mad lol

Thank you!

Ah good eye, yeah the rocks do seem closer here than in the shot. Maybe this kind of subject needs a bigger approach, i.e. you zoom in and work in smaller squares to form one big picture?

The leaves look pretty good to me, though! Probably a subjective thing ✌️

Looks great, I love the structure you’ve captured

That might be a colour thing, the subject you’re drawing is waaaay more “boring” in colour. Or maybe it’s a case of scale; your other work focuses on much much smaller scales; peoples’ faces, for instance (I’ve been following your work since the Samuel L Jackson series!), and the way light works on bigger things like these rocks might be way different?

You know way more about art than I do though, just trying to figure out what you might be seeing!

It looks more dramatic than the subject you were trying to capture, sure, but I think calling it “not so good” is a massive disservice! It’s moody and atmospheric, and flows nicely. I think it’s great.

I’m more interested in small uncle Roman boyfriend tbh

Jesus, she has to buy three pairs of shoes at a time? That’s gonna be expensive.

Unregistered HyperCam 2

1. Paradox changes their mind, allows either some or all initial DLC clans through as free content
2. Consumers forgive
3. Consumers forget
4. Paradox refines their approach and tries again next time

Consumers are way too forgiving of the scummy monetisation practices that these companies demonstrate again and again and again and again and again. Happened with the whole PSN account/Steam debacle too.

I could see it being mid-tone/shadows adjustments, true.

All of the serifs and punctuation look weird, and the way the text on the page behind bleeds through into the last paragraph is really odd too. Good catch on the page to the right being apparently empty!

It could be some issue with AI upscaling, but it’s rapidly becoming more and more the case that we just can’t trust anything online. Very disheartening.

Time to turn it all off and (maybe some day in the future) back on again 🤷‍♂️
