Hey Caitlin, the only other comment is from a known troll. How about taking care of that?

honestly this is the kind of fight that needs to happen outside the WaWa on a friday night.

Whenever I see that picture of Musk, this comes to mind.

52 year old men bounce back from back surgery in no time and never have any long-term issues from it at all!

Um, he already voiced the droid 8D8 in The Book of Boba Fett.

She makes a date with Elan and is stood up. She is visibly blushing and flattered when Guel gives her romantic attention. It’s pretty overt that she's bi/pan.

100% Rocket Racoon smokes weed. And probably Tony Stark.

What the hell is with this "Oh man artists are an elite group that need to be taken down a peg or two" nonsense being used in defense of this? Y'all realize "starving artist" is a phrase for a reason, yes?

Because you’re developing your own style based on what you’ve learned, and (presumably in this hypothetical scenario) have gotten good enough to where what you produce is something people want and are willing to pay for.

They did prove their point though: The point of this AI is to *not hire artists in the first place*

It’s working exactly they way they want.  And that’s the problem.

short-sighted, and reeks of people that refuse to adapt to the times

I like how people have watered down the meaning of “outrage” to the point that it’s now just used to describe anyone having any point of view whatsoever.

To prove a real point they should have hired their own artist to draw reference art, and not take it from an existing anime.

FFVII: First Soldier should’ve definitely had a PC and Console release. The game was legitimately fun but was severely hindered by being limited to mobile. The limited screen size and touch controls hurt the overall experience. Around launch, Square even said they were going out of their way to prevent people…
