Because Faux News regularly portrays any worker power as ultimate evil and brainwashes their viewers with it.

Why? You do realize the one and only reason employees go to start a union is when a company has repeatedly failed to pay and treat workers well? Why do you hate workers?

Oh huh I’ve never heard of this XKCD comic.

I can only speak for programmers. Artist compete one against each other. Programmers help each other.

With some of the subtext of these games you can say, “actually, actively encouraging”.

Fuck all would be my guess.

AIs don’t “take inspiration” from ANYTHING. That’s the difference. You’re humanizing an algorithm. They literally steal the characteristics of an artist’s style and then overlay it onto other styles like a fucking connect-the-dots to reproduce something *unique* but as much as mathematically possible in-the-style-of…

why is it only seemingly visual artists getting hot and bothered by this stuff?

This may be the most baffling post I have ever seen. How is it more an RPG than Elden Ring? 

Neither would I but I wouldn’t consider Horizon to be an RPG either. I’m curious as to what criteria the writer was using. Seems like side-missions + character progression = RPG? Grounded has both of those things so by that logic, it would also be an RPG.

Digital art has made the process more forgiving. But the basic process of the artist directly inputing 99% of the visuals with their careful hand-movements and making thousands of minute decisions was the same as before. Some blurring at the edges depending on how much they over-relied on filters and certain PS tools,…

It’s the fingernail halfway up the pinky that gets me every time

Would be curious to know as someone who is unfamiliar with this game, was this texture replaced for the remaster or just upscaled?

Yes, you are gate keeping.  Are they playing a game?  Then yes, they’re gamers.

Well, when you get down to it, Final Fantasy, mechanically up until 11; 1, 4, a good portion of 6, 7, 8, and 9 are all mechanically the same. 3, 5, and 10-2 are similar, and 2 is just completely out there. They all share the very similar leveling systems with only 7 and newer expanding upon the setup with Materia, the…

Yes and no.

Dominaria United and Brother’s War are the “core” sets, as in they are playable in every format.

This is what was released since september, off the top of my head so I’m forgetting some:

I don’t care if Smash Bros. Melee is not “out of copyright.” If it’s not being commercially sold, it should be public domain, period.

(All things should be public domain honestly because copyright should not exist at all, but it especially should not exist for things that aren’t being sold.)

“ That’s more than I make in a month working 40+ hours a week doing a “real” job.”

I feel like we’re seeing a lot of stories about artists without any context.
