• Your “family members” faking injuries while acting like petulant children
• Captain Cam, who has never won anything, setting standard for prioritizing financial greed over winning
• TJ throwing a bigger fit about not winning individual awards than never winning a playoff game
• TikTok dances while getting asses kicked at home during 4th quarter of playoff game in same week said player publicly mocked the opposition
• A spineless owner
• A directionless GM
• Devin Bush a fan of dead cats
• James Harrison falling asleep in meetings
• Chase Claypool being all about Chase Claypool
• DK Metcalf assaulting other team’s fans and making fun of his own while being one of the biggest busts in team history
• Patrick Queen and his business decisions last week
• An army of players acting like jerks and forcing their way out mid-season
• Incompetent assistant coaching hires based on cheapness or nepotism

That’s just off the top of my head. I’d say a lot has changed in the last few years, none of it good. As far as I can tell, the dignity possessed by people like Jerome Bettis and Troy Polamalu appears to very much be in the rear view mirror. On and off the field, the Steelers have problems. And they are many.

@OSHA_DOL fuck you for this

[Undiscovered Proph3t @HearTheProphecy]

@sheetz fuck you for making all my points I've been saving for years expire all of a sudden when I now need them just to afford gas for my car

[Undiscovered Proph3t @HearTheProphecy]

Aye yo @EAMaddenNFL slow the damn kick meter down... can't even make extra points with that

[Mark Madden @MarkMaddenX]

Is this a ***king joke?

[Mark Madden @MarkMaddenX]

We’re in an era where:
Nostalgia& things like a “proper send-off”
Keeping a player b/c you wear his jersey
Feel-good moments, vibe& aura
Absolutely &legitimately matter more to some fans that building a winner.
To me, it seems nuts.

@Hostess_Snacks They have the perfect cream to cake ratio of any of your products and outshine Swiss Rolls, this may be the greatest tragedy of my life

If you decide to bring these bsck I will forgive your transgressions through back pay in the form of 2 boxes of hohos per week that theyre gone

[Undiscovered Proph3t @HearTheProphecy]

@Hostess_Snacks where are the hohos?? Why do they not exist in any store near me? (Southwestern PA) I feel like Tallahassee in Zombieland looking for twinkles it shouldn't be this hard

Just waiting on the Steelers bring this one home

Anduril no longer needs to raise another round of funding. I will pay for Arsenal 2 by reselling the the RAM that came in my @FrameworkPuter Desktop a few months ago. Sorry, venture capitalists.

Those who refuse to use AI will get left behind and those who rely too heavily on AI will produce slop.

Let the free market sort em out, stop complaining and just make cool stuff

[Legendary Drops @ALegendaryDrops]

I have to applaud some in the media on this one, they absolutely nailed the hysteria when reporting Larian and Sandfall use AI.

The end result of this will be companies communicating less and being less transparent, just to avoid projection and emotional outbursts.

Great work.

Concept Artist here, the "AI hate" directed at Larian Studio is 100% ignorant and bad faith virtue-signaling.

Artists are NOT against AI usage as a tool, we're against Generative AI that was trained on real artworks and mass-produced "slops" that imitated our hard work and then marketed as our replacement.

In pre-production, the art team would grab random pics off the internet and other games to create a general mood board for aesthetics and "vibe" that fit the art direction (There are more nuances than this, I'm describing this in the most simplified way possible)

A mood board of a character may include several pictures of other videogames or anime shows, dozens of object with "texture references" for parts of their attire, multiple reference pictures of relevant objects such as animals or historical weapons or even other character artwork made for other games; ALL of which are randomly drawn from the internet and put together for the purpose of creating an overall aesthetic for a design that will become original in its own way inspired by its references and the artist's own creativity and originality to visualize it when they create the design by doing ART.

Larian Studio mentioned using AI to streamline this process; an actively menial labor of "looking for relavant and cool pics on the internet" in essence.

There is zero reason why AI speeding up this process is a bad thing; it is essentially the same as someone asking Grok for facts they could have spent a few hours reading through Wikipedia pages.

None of the pictures grabbed by either the AI or the art team in this process are being exploited for any monetary gain since they're simply inspiration and visual direction, this has been standard practice in the industry for decades.

[Zack @Asmongold]

@LarAtLarian AI informing development of games and media is the future. No amount of downvotes, likes, or social media posts is going to change that

The only reason AI is seen negatively online is that artists and media have manufactured false consensus that it's bad to protect their jobs

[Swen Vincke @where? @LarAtLarian]

Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI.

We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do.

I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists.

We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison.

I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more:

We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

Just because they did a better job than arguably any indie game developer ever and it doesn't have the traditional indie game look or feel doesn't mean it doesn't qualify, maybe you should raise your standards for your indie developers

[Undiscovered Proph3t @HearTheProphecy]

The argument that #Expedition33 isnt an indie game and robbed Blue Prince, Hades 2, or Silksong of an award because of it is laughable.. @SandfallGames made a AAA quality game for a reported budget under $10 million with a team of 30 people, its honestly not getting enough credit

This is all I will ever remember of Tristan Jarry.
