All romcoms could be improved by Tiny Yoshiaki Koizumi providing shocked commentary about every new development.

perfect experiences of Skin Deep imo

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because

a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked

b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

Instead of working to protect Americans' privacy, today the FTC is hosting what amounts to an anti-trans rally. Nobody is more obsessed with controlling the private decisions of the American people than Republicans.

Motion Picture Sound Editors Ban Generative AI for Golden Reel Awards Eligibility The MPSE's response to the threat of AI is one of the firmest taken by a guild to date

God exactly. The purpose of writing papers is FOR YOU TO THINK SOMETHING THROUGH, not because a prof has a deficit in their life that needs to be filled by reading 5-7 pages of mediocre bullshit. The bulk of things I recall from undergrad are things I wrote papers about.

Happy birthday!!

Map with title reads “Anne & Mary’s Hunt for Booty.” A British man stands maliciously over 2 female pirates. The pirates lunge forward towards a buff dolphin and a skeleton pirate. A desperate looking man grips Anne’s trench coat for dear life.

if you care about video games you should also care about securing full rights and safety for the trans community, because nearly every game development team that i am aware of has at least one trans person in a critical, load-bearing position. the industry would collapse without trans folks.

Sentric, a major music publisher, just sent out "AI PROTECTION" emails to their artists similar to the one we saw from Tunecore.

You do not have the same protections with this as you do copyright/IP.

Do NOT opt-in or sign any type of AI protection agreement without consulting your attorney.

Important!

I’ve had some decent results with TouchDesigner! It’s a node-based system so it’s really flexible, but it does take a while to learn.

The main downside is that I can only export up to 720p on the free version 😔
