Yeah the mod is an A grade dick. Mods are at times power mad, and this is a case in point. Anyone can see that's not what you were saying.

I also restic to b2. Found it the best value.

I've done a little. Give us you details and requirements. I'm happy to have a look.

Solid release. Simple and usable. Will keep it to see how it progresses. Nice work!

I agree. I'm most productive with 2 x bursts of work. 6 hours is a good amount of time for getting plenty done.

When you can't tell if a machine made it, and it moves you personally, then what invisible metric are you defining, and judging it on?

No. I watched a video recently of one of the best figure tutors around. Upset with AI. As he critiqued them, multiple times he struggled to tell if it was AI or not. Now, if one of the top YouTube figure drawing instructors struggled at times to identify the difference in his attack against the tech, I'm pretty comfortable saying that it can absolutely move you.

This response assumes an artist wants to be a professional artist, that wants to make a living from it. There are MANY artists, that have no interest of turning their source of joy, into a source of income, and all that comes with it.

I disagree strongly on that argument. I've seen many examples of AI generated images that have genuinely made me stop, and shake my head in amazement.

I'm waiting for that new Intel gear.

Whatever makes you feel better. Do what you can. If you know you can make a difference, I feel you should. Giving up IS an option, but, in my mind, not a required one.

And, we can try and avoid them. Or, we can pay trump through them.

There are so many android manufacturers that wouldn't even spit in trumps direction. The choice is there. It can be taken. Or, we can shrug, find excuses, and just give Trump our money through apple (in this example).

In pretty sure Xiaomi don't pay Trump. But, you never really know.

What we do really know, is Apple do. Spending with Apple is spending with Trump, guaranteed.

This is more arcadey, but I recommend giving Cave Story a go. The story is rich, the worlds deep. It's a great game. It's not the same genre, but for me, it has a similar vibe.

I agree. Definitely.

However, your money actually just went to Trump, via Apple, and their hardware and services.

Remember, when you buy an apple product, you're directly supporting Trump.

Popcorn munching...

I was a commercial artist (animator in AAA studio).

I sold my art, and paid for it with my own soul.

Burnt out.

Now I sketch for joy, not money.

Surely it does this already?!

I worked in a first party, AAA gaming studio, back in the day.

We had the Maya sales dipshits, and a handful of Maya developers come to our studio, to 'listen'. Maybe 5 or so in total. How they can improve, and help us, kind of thing.

Our tech team ripped them a new asshole. Asked why 5 year old bug X wasn't fixed, when our internal team created a workaround in a couple of days.

Read them the riot act.

They made sympathy and apology noises.

They left. Nothing happened.

Just total corporate, bullshit.

They just, don't, care.

Just because they're a for profit corporation, doesn't mean they're going to deliver.
