Finished Still Wakes the Deep last night—loved the setting and texture, felt a deep nostalgia for the North sea ferry rides of my childhood.

Wish the narrative had more intent and precision but its strengths are found in the spatial journey 🌊

I reviewed Still Wakes the Deep. An absolutely stellar body horror with an amazing script and vocal cast. Read more here: https://t.co/DEVy3i3VDB

@WritNelson The rebuilds are a trip. But if you've gotten though NGE that hardly needs saying

@ultrabrilliant Watch out for horses

[Barry Hemans @overgroundlab.bsky.social @OvergroundLab]

@bryangale Loved that. Nice to see at least one other person watched it

@JumpOvertheAge @guinoir Been a while since I bought an Edge but will have to pick this one up for that cover alone

[CLIP STUDIO PAINT @clipstudiopaint]

We have seen posts concerned that Clip Studio Paint intends to implement generative AI. We would like to make it clear that this is not the case.

In 2022, we received significant feedback from our community regarding generative AI, and decided against implementing it in Clip Studio Paint. We believe that problems concerning ethics, privacy, and intellectual property persist, and our stance on implementing generative AI remains unchanged.

Clip Studio Paint includes several AI-powered tools for artists created from our own clean data set, built from illustration data provided to us from creators who gave their explicit consent for use in machine learning. This is the base from which our Colorize feature was constructed.

Celsys plans to continue research into AI-powered solutions to assist artists in their work flow and make the creative process more fun, such as improved fill tools to pick up unfilled areas, line extraction, and 3D model posing, not AI image generation.

Any future AI research will also be based only on clean data sets. We respect the ethics and intellectual property rights of creators and will continue to research AI tools with your interests first.

@FreyaHolmer Glad to hear it! Meds really are a game changer. My experiance is a bit differnt because I wouln't say I find being on them relaxing (I get the teeth clenching sore jaw thing often) but the ability to just blow though tasks that I had to force myself to do is very relatable

[Barry Hemans @overgroundlab.bsky.social @OvergroundLab]

@hamishsteele Yes

[Dani Donovan 👩🏻‍🎨 ADHD Comics @danidonovan]

Still can't believe it took 12 years for me to find out Vitamin C and citric acid reduce the effectiveness of ADHD meds.

(Increased acidity in your body makes it difficult for alkaline stimulants to absorb and work properly.)

Anyways.
