First person shooters are better with a controller, especially if you like to move at speeds between walk and sprint.

Oooh, this is juicy. Goes to show you how the N-F-T people are pivoting to AI. It's just a new layer of paint on the same old vague promises and rug pulls.

I just realized I have been making digital brushes professionally for 11 years. Over 2000 of them. That's a big chunk of my working life spent just inventing, playing and experimenting with making marks. What a lovely thing. Thanks to everyone out there who uses them! ❤️

I feel like the attention to detail in Fallout is unparalleled, honestly blown away by the show.

The image made me think they were bringing back Animorphs for a second, but this is such an awesome idea.

You can create a Golden Joystick nominated Indie game that has 9/10 on IGN and Steam reviews, wins a BAFTA for best British Game, is profitable, and the megacorps will still shut you down 💔

It's not just about losing work due to AI, it's crap like this where the client offers you half your rate after giving you a hundred AI images to reference.
