game narrative people like to talk about how worldbuilding isn’t storytelling. i agree; in fact i think worldbuilding is actually its own emerging creative practice, with its own virtuosos & masterpieces; it overlaps with storytelling but often feels to me more like architecture, hypertext, collage

Anatoly Kokorin (1908-1987)

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines.

Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

These are wonderful. I found the whole set here: briansibleysblog.blogspot.com/2021/09/eric...

In case you think losing 95k scientists in a year is normal, it's decidedly not.

A Ghanian hand-printed Cheers (the show) poster. It's ace and a bit mental. I don't know what more to say.

Gang. GANG. Here's that Ghanian bootleg Cheers artwork you were looking for.

This film was one of the biggest influences on Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. Seeing it for the first time, Miyazaki told his friend, "I guess we’re failures, aren’t we?"

This is Crac -- the first masterpiece by animator Frédéric Back. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-lament...

Absolutely incredible. A work of art

I never want to hear that we can't afford universal health care or clean energy or high speed trains again.

For the rest of our lives, any time a Republican says "well how can we afford--" the answer is "your clown asked for $200 billion to kill civilians on the opposite side of the world."

And remember, Gamergate was an op from Steve Bannon and Jeffrey fucking Epstein.

So if you really think you're "anti-fascist," you should be anti Adam Baldwin. And anti Exactly This Shit.

Love these! If these become a screen printed back graphic on a shirt, I’d give you all the money

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

installed this and now the fan on my laptop has turned off for the first time in forever lmao

@mn-ttrpg-dad.bsky.social , this might be your department

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

Take 2 minutes of your time and watch "The Hyrule Fantasy", a lovely Zelda fan film by french animator Ousmane Cissé.
