I make art sometimes

[Sakura Meadows @Sakura_Meadows]

ID is one of my favorite game developers of all time. I wish nothing but the best for those who lost their jobs and those who remain. I sincerely hope they are able to continue making great games. ❤️

@AsagiKurosagi I can say as someone who has been playing since the beta that at least the optimization has gotten better haha
I was getting ~50fps and now I get around 90fps

@curatorgamingx Because ID Tech was an amazing engine, it looked great and had amazing optimization which UE5 just does not have
I don't see the remaining devs having to fight with UE5 being good for the state of the next game

@tingusbungus YAAAAAAYYYYY

@sufferingwave @gurauki @VinciLostSignal Since GIMP entered 3.0 updates have been coming steadily and it has improved greatly. They already added many non-destructive workflows as well as vector layers and "smart objects"
Actual shape tool finally in the foreseeable future

@MeltyLoo Same...

First artfight of the year! For @Sharksided
Really proud of this one

@SeaCritDev @Phantom_TheGame @BeanJuiceStudio @valvesoftware It does suck, but AI is detrimental to almost all aspects of life and creativity so it is understandable how it became so divisive so quick.
I hope we can reach a happy medium where AI can be used in a proper way as it is currently abused and unsustainable

[Sakura Meadows @Sakura_Meadows]

@SeaCritDev @Phantom_TheGame @BeanJuiceStudio @valvesoftware If you read this additional reply, I mainly disagree with generative AI for art and assets. Code is more lenient. I would not like something entirely AI generated code wise, but if it is used as a proper aiding tool and not for general structure or features I think it is alright

[Sakura Meadows @Sakura_Meadows]

@SeaCritDev @Phantom_TheGame @BeanJuiceStudio @valvesoftware You're extending so far, I didn't even say anything either direction, just that steam's policy is to disclose generative AI use.
My personal opinion does happen to be that I will not purchase, play, or use, any software, or game created using generative AI but I was being nuanced

[Sakura Meadows @Sakura_Meadows]

@SeaCritDev @Phantom_TheGame @BeanJuiceStudio @valvesoftware You can use AI as long as you properly disclose it per steam's AI disclosure policy, so players can make an informed purchase.
Lying about it and ignoring steams policy is a bad look from users and could result in removal of the game altogether for violating policies.

@VimmsLair I do want a game but it's not on sale, good luck to others though, thanks vimms lair for giving to the people <3

@Dayiis_sd @HardwareSteam People are much more likely to have a 4k tv than a 4k monitor, and they aren't that expensive. Plugging into a tv is the main use case for the steam machine

[Sakura Meadows @Sakura_Meadows]

@WaterMuseum_ Genuinely the most interesting fishing mechanics I have ever interacted with <3

[Sakura Meadows @Sakura_Meadows]

@TylerGlaiel No one seems to realize that no running company can just lose millions in sales on purpose

[Sakura Meadows @Sakura_Meadows]

@imDanielDK @TheCassiniGames It however also makes the game harder and cost more to play
Which means less people will play it

[Sakura Meadows @Sakura_Meadows]

@Krtzyy Probably in the ballpark of $10,600 using crude estimates?

[Sakura Meadows @Sakura_Meadows]

@nozomupilled Of course I am *another* stereotype XD

[Sakura Meadows @Sakura_Meadows]

@codeHusky Sometimes you can find a good deal, but even the laptop you showed averages about $1600 sold used
And a laptop is not functionally equivalent to what the steam machine offers so it's not a 1 to 1 comparison
If you want a laptop, then you get a laptop haha

@tingusbungus @No_Blanks_art YIPPEEEE
