i whipped up a basic website for myself. It's been fun getting back into the web after not doing any web work for like 20 years adamdegrandis.com

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder

“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

That’s true

I believe Trump is a self serving authoritarian who's dismantling democracy, trying to make trans people illegal, and wanting to set up concentration camps for immigrants - whereas Jon in February called him "the best President we have had in my entire life".

Great thread Alan

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Some I've spoken with believe Wilson's optimism comes in no small part from wanting to go all in on generative AI. If you work at EA and are seeing AI creep into your work like never before I'm ethangach@protonmail.com and ethangach on Discord.

EA says business primed for 'accelerated growth' following layoffs

Apparently I'm out of a job. I really can't complain too much -- Polygon was a great place to work for the last decade-plus -- but if anyone's hiring, please reach out!
