Today I spent some time appreciating the art of Aaron Douglas, born May 26, 1899. His work has an immense sense of rhythm: silhouettes, layered forms, radiating light, and figures moving through history. I used @Midjourney to create these images, inspired by his composition, symbolism, and visual storytelling.

@exQUIZitely oh yeah, played that game a lot - definitely beat it multiple times... bumble bees, skeletons, dragons - killed soundtrack, and that parallax effect was the icing on the horror cake. that was survival horror before the genre existed!

Forbidden Forest might look terribly dated now, but if you didn’t grow up with early 80s gaming standards, you'd never realise just how far ahead of its time it really was. Parallax scrolling that created real depth as trees and background layers moved at different speeds. A dynamic day-to-night cycle with a detailed moon and darkening sky. One of the earliest uses of animated blood/gore (woohoo, scary!) when enemies were hit. Context-sensitive music and eerie sound effects (including a pretty terrifying scream when certain creatures died). It was programmed by one person (Paul Norman), sold over a million copies and helped push what the C64 (and home computers) could do. Let that sink in for a second: 1 million copies in 1983! By the way, Norman's second game was Aztec Challenge, another 80s masterpiece. If you listen to the sound of the javelin throw in the opening level of Aztec Challenge and compare it to the arrow shot in Forbidden Forest you might notice a similarity... In 1983, when most games were simple arcade clones with flat graphics and basic beeps, Forbidden Forest looked like a movie horror experience on a home computer. So, you might scoff at it now but back then it was brilliant!

@cortexrock @verge Ah yes, I remember those days well. How about Pagemaker being positioned as the "Quark Killer"? And when Adobe spent over $3B for Macromedia? Back when you could purchase perpetual licenses without monthly subscriptions?

@verge Aw bless, I remember when Adobe was a scrappy little upstart taking on the big boys at Quark XPress.

@thsottiaux Like that Seinfeld episode: "See, you know how to say you're doing the reset, you just don't do the reset. And that's really the most important part of the reset: the reset." I hold multiple business seats and a pro seat ($100). No resets showing. Tibo...?

Hi! To celebrate its 1-year anniversary, I have allowed Codex to reset its own rate limits across all plans. Enjoy all the new features.

@Ivan_IntoAGI @thsottiaux Same. If this reset doesn't hit, this will be the third time in a row for me... first two times business seats didn't reset. On the $100 Pro plan now and still not seeing the reset. Seems like lots of others are having the same issue.

@thsottiaux looks like I’m not the only one who didn’t get a reset 😅 by my math, last reset was exactly a week ago hoping this is just a joke… and a full reset is coming 🙏

@redpilldispensr When I was a kid we used to sing "you scream, we scream, we all scream for ice cream!" Little did we know that many "ice cream" companies would eventually start gaming the system to pawn off chemicals as ice cream.

Dairy Queen no longer meets the criteria to be considered real ice cream. Among its controversial ingredients is polysorbate 80, a compound also used in chemotherapy to help drugs penetrate the blood-brain barrier.

@__Talley__ downloaded cavalry after seeing your posts. looks like it has potential to do some really cool effects applying consistent movement effects for tons of objects so they move together. any 'killer features' stand out for you, so far?

Okay… I f*cking love Cavalry. Spent all day watching tutorials. My initial thoughts: Cavalry does a lot of things better than After Effects but After Effects does a lot of things better than Cavalry. The one thing I love so far is the effectors in Cavalry feel SO native.

@rass272 @thsottiaux i'm not seeing it either. i wasn't getting resets on my business seats...i bought in to the $100 codex pro plan, so really hoping *these* resets hit (even though the weekly reset just hit a few hours ago anyway). a reset late saturday or sometime sunday/monday would be better!!!

@thsottiaux lol, my (our) weekly rate limits had just reset a few hours before - so it's kind of a non-event...

Midjourney V8.1 Alpha is out. I am impressed. I had a few "wow" moments with V8 alpha, but it didn't really click with me. The MJ team has knocked it out of the park with v8.1--I'm getting one amazing image after another. Great job!

@theo Good summary. I think the question on many people's minds is how does the current "rebalanced" plus plan compare to what it used to be. Seems like many are very unhappy with how quickly it burns.

@jaqbec @thsottiaux I have posted a few questions about business plan and there's never any reply. I have 2 business seats and neither one got the 3M user celebration resets.... Good question, hopefully it gets acknowledged.

Hi! Getting a lot of questions on Pro plan rate limits, so I wanted to clarify a few things: - Your Pro $100 plan includes at least 10x Plus usage, till May 31 with the 2X usage boost. - Your Pro $200 plan includes at least 20x Plus usage, till May 31 with the 2X usage boost. This is also the SAME usage this plan had since the 2x promo in February; we previously didn't document this explicitly. Now to address the confusion. Our pricing page says "5x or 20x usage", and many of you very understandably took it to mean "10x and 40x" given then 2X usage boost. That's our fault. We mixed up two things in a confusing way on that page - (1) sharing that the Pro $100 launched with a 2x boost, making it 10x Plus till May 31 and (2) sharing that Pro $200 retained its 2x boost and sharing for the first time that this equates to 20x Plus. We're going to update our pricing pages to make this clearer. Sorry it wasn't as clear as it should have in the first place.🫥

There seems to be some confusion on what ChatGPT plans give you, and what bonuses are active right now. I got you. ChatGPT Plus $20 = 1x NO ACTIVE BONUS ChatGPT Pro Lite $100 = 5x with a 2x Bonus (10x) ChatGPT Pro $200 = 20x with a 2x Bonus (40x) The bonus is ONLY for Pro plans. It includes BOTH $100 & $200 Tiers They both end May 31st. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. SIGNED AMW

Codex is an amazing tool. My least favorite 5 words: "You're out of Codex messages". Two business seats, and stuck in limbo right now between a weekly reset and a 5 hour reset.
