This is pretty wild!
That means that instead of telling ChatGPT, "Please generate a hot anime goth waifu,"
you can tell it "Please connect to the Photoshop MCP and take control of all installed brushes and features to sketch and paint me a picture of a hot anime goth waifu."
That's kind of scary to those simply don't want to interact with an AI content. We're at a point where telling the difference between AI-generated and human-made is pretty difficult, but this would just make things much more annoying unless the artist is transparent about their AI use.

This weekβs glamβLantern for the Livingβis brought to you by Galatine!
Actually -- the LotR movies came out between 2001 and 2003.
Street Fighter 2 hit the arcades in 1991. Assuming the Street Fighter timeline rests on the same year this game came out, that means your homeboy Balrog preferred to read the books because the movies didn't exist yet.
Someone more skilled than me in art should draw fanart of Balrog the Boxer reading Tolkien's collection.
Balrog is a character in Street Fighter.
Balrog is also a demon-like entity in Tolkien's universe.
I know in Japan, Balrog refers to the SF character with the claw-hand. The rest of the world calls that one Vega.
In America, Balrog is a boxer. My Americanized head-canon believes that Balrog the Boxer likes to spend quality time reading the LotR books and watching the Peter Jackson movies when he's not busy punching people in the face.
A Japanese news show featured drinkable trading cards in its ranking of possible hit products for 2027.
Each card contains 12ml of an energy drink and the card/drink company already has a collab with Capcom's Street Fighter.
Before I bought my Civic FK7, I owned a Ford Fiesta. This vehicle ran like shit but at least it got me from point A to point B, despite looking like a cheap Aston Martin knock-off. (This car but in white)
Told myself that if I ever bought another Ford, it would be a Mustang.
However, I never thought I would see the Mustang Mach-E in my shortlist of EVs that may eventually end up being my first EV.
I'm still doing some research before I eventually commit to a specific make and model, but the thought of driving a Mustang SUV is just funny to me.
To put some thought into it, the other common American Muscle cars also include the Chevy Camaro, the Dodge Challenger, and the Dodge Charger.
Now that I'm thinking about it, the Dodge Durango looks a bit like an oversized Dodge Charger. But at least it has a its own name instead something weird like "Dodge SuperCharger" -- actually, wasn't that a trim for like a really old Ram model?
Anyway, now the Camaro SUV could potentially be a thing? Man, what is the car world coming to?
1. Beatrix's Save the Queen
2. Lightning's Blazefire Saber
3. Squall's Revolver Gunblade
4. Sin's Fang (the big-ass sword used by Jecht, as named in the Dissidia games).
5. Noctis's Engine Blade

I've been contemplating whether I want to keep my Civic FK7 or trade it in.
If I keep it, I'd be compelled to mod and rice it -- it becomes a money pit. As much as I want to lower the vehicle, I live in rural area and lowered cars don't play nice here.
However, my Civic has 185,000 miles (or ~290,000 km). Who knows much it has left before it finally goes to that final delivery route to Car-halla.
I really would like to trade it in for either a Hybrid or Electric vehicle. My Civic is advertised to go 28 MPG in the city and 40 on the highway. With the way I drive and the mods I've done to it, I usually get 24 MPG.
However, I would like to get a vehicle that would still fulfill some utility, like doing gig work whenever I want to go out and touch grass.
Maybe a Tesla is in my future -- but if I ever buy a Tesla, it would be used.
For now, I'd settle with something practical, like a small SUV. Maybe a Kia Niro or something.
To answer the question: Tifa
In the alternative timeline, when Tifa as a character becomes conceptualized, she would be an original Street Fighter 6 character instead of a guest character from Final Fantasy VII.
Out of the many things that AI has killed, I actually wouldn't miss Reddit all that much.
The quality of most of the communities I used to lurk in has drastically degraded, either through that actions of tyrant moderators or -- the other extreme end -- the lack of moderation.
Honestly, that place is just bad for my mental health. The thought process of an average volunteer Reddit moderator is something to be studied.
Like I get some of the rules some moderators enact -- it makes sense on paper -- but the execution of them can be questionable at best.
The collapse of Reddit will be studied.
After reporting earnings, its stock collapsed 30% in a single day.
It's down 44% in 2 weeks.
But the most important detail is what was revealed in that earnings call.
The CEO said AI is killing Google search.
People no longer get sent to Reddit from Google. They merely get their answers from the AI Mode itself.
Even Google confirmed this themselves with their disastrous results - AI mode is cannibalising their search business.
Pretty soon, no one will visit Reddit voluntarily. Its traffic will continue to crater.
The worst part?
Reddit isn't alone. There are millions of companies and publishers that rely on search traffic.
That's what happens when you rely on a single funnel for discovery.
So when you hear someone say "Low Forward Drive Rush", now you know why some people say "Forward" instead of "Medium Kick".
"Jab" is also another hold-over, originally referring to Light Punch, but can also refer to character's fastest button.
I guess when I engage in Fierce content in FFXIV, I will forever be reminded of the Fierce button in Street Fighter.
Turns out that if I ever retire from the FGC, there will always be things to remind you of where you came from.
For the new #SF6 players wondering what this means:
"Fierce" is an old school reference to what most FGC folks know as "Heavy Punch".
This term comes from the North American arcade cabinets of Street Fighter 2. (the YXL/BAR labels reference the SNES controller bindings)
@ToniNottford Maybe I read this differently, but I've been under the impression max-iLvl and BiS are *slightly* different things. Like you might have iLvl 860 gear but your subs aren't optimal to your job. Max-iLvl would be nice, but for casual content, the sub-stats are just "good enough."
