Field Comic

Panel 1

A determined Field has slammed their hands on the desk and is determined to do the things that need to be done.

Field: OKAY! I just have one small task to do.

Panel 2

A stressed Field is staring blankly at a blank screen.

Narration Box: -Stares at nothing for two hours instead-

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters”

The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist.

But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building.

I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

The idea that 'AI can speed up dev cycles' would require a premise that dev cycles are long because people are taking forever to make assets (so you could replace them with shoddy slop and it'd go faster), which you could only believe is true if you've never actually tried to make a video game

I hope all these blows to the social safety net and stabilizing government services in general dont lead to predictable negative societal outcomes that will require more and more desperate scapegoating of select people groups to explain it.
Oh no,

A Minecraft skin depicting a girl with pink hair, a white and orange shirt, jean shorts, black socks, colorful shoes, and an aqua headband. She's floating in an abstract space with a purple background and blurry floating pink, white, and blue dots, and she's holding a heart with a transgender pride flag on it. A white, slightly transparent ribbon-like shape encircles her, with the text "Existence is Resistance" written on it in a script font.

Desolate Desert | 1.21.5 Survival Games Minecraft Map Desolate Desert awaits! The desert used to be a calm and peaceful place, where Pharaohs and their followers would gather and worship the ancient god...

The map I've been working on with Quillmark for the better part of a year, Desolate Desert, is finally out!

I'm very proud of the art I made for it, so I'm glad that others can finally enjoy it too. Get some friends together and check it out! :) www.planetminecraft.com/project/deso...
