@NeverbornTakeru Im glad u and others like it! I wasn't sure, but I thought it would be really fun. 😁

@fafnirfenn Not gonna lie this is my favorite in lored concept makes me wanna see more dragons engage in the ritual dance combat encounters

More dance fighting on this weeks page! It was a blast to draw. 😁

@vevans0009 😆 he was not prepared. Thx!

@fafnirfenn Both Elias and I were ENTRANCED by her performance.😳 Dat wink killed us.🫨

@libbysalt Wow this is a mean thread. They're all just people trying their best. Just don't watch if they annoy you. No need to insult someone sharing something they love.

MTG Goldfish is like if the cardmarket guys weren’t annoying as fuck

@taz3141 @SaffronOlive And you opponent annoyed at you?

@fafnirfenn @SaffronOlive I’ve def refused an ID before. I was on burn and a win gave me top seed. The chance at going first every round in top cut was too good to pass up

I'm sure it's not easy to do in practice, but I wish we could just ban intentional draws.

@RubberNinja @glitch_prod Awesome show! The animation was A+. I wish the derpy dolphine had been a cool dude instead. I'm forevor pining for an Enzo+Andrea relationship, and this had an incredible set up for that... but alas. Romance in cartoons is passe... 😮‍💨

Thanks for watching Gameoverse. If you didn't know, as well as creating the show I'm also the voice of Fold!

From today's page. Dragon Dance Fight!!!

@fafnirfenn Depends on the type of pet

"I really wish we could stop politicizing the topic of AI." Some thoughts on the use of generative AI in video games. Recently, it was revealed that a game many of us, myself included, called Neverness to Everness, was using generative AI to produce various assets. Some of these include posters and billboards around the city, but more egregious examples are several AI animations featured on screens around the ingame world. Even moreso, several creators and a voice actress have come out stating that they were assured by the company that no AI was used in the game. Of course, there was a lot of outrage. And I have to admit, I was pretty disappointed. I was disappointed that a game that I enjoyed so much, is now going to be tainted by this extremely toxic debate, when they could have so easily avoided it. Simply do what other games have done. Commission a few animations, and re-use some assets from other games. They could very easily have just put advertisements for their other game, Tower of Fantasy, or other Perfect World titles. It would have been prime real estate to advertise their other games, and include easter eggs. Hell, even product placement ads would have been perfectly logical in a game such as this. Many companies would have paid a lot of money to have their products and advertisements featured in a big city game like this. And yet, they chose the path of generative AI. And with that choice, they have flagged what was turning out to be a happy and fun new gaming experience, into yet another situation where we have to debate about the ethics of AI. Let me make certain that my opinion is clear on the matter of AI. As the owner of an art studio, I am not a fan of it. I think AI art is lazy, lacks soul, and cheapens the world of creative art and entertainment. In short, I believe it harms creatives, and the overwhelming prevalence of AI entertainment online, will worsen the experience for audiences. And although it may sound extreme, it's my opinion that humanity would be better off if generative AI art, animation, and video would be outlawed entirely. However, I am not a fan of the current state of the debate, and how toxic it has become. Currently, it has very much become a war of ideologies. Those who are Anti-AI believe we should entirely boycott all games and companies that even attempts to dabble in AI, while others are either pro-AI usage for various reasons, or simply believe that those who are anti-AI are annoying and so seek to be contrarian because of it. It has become very much a red versus blue issue, on the internet, I fear. And I really wish it wouldn't. I wish we would all stand on the same side, and understand that no matter which political tribe you belong to, it is bad for all of us. For all artists and enjoyers of art alike. Right now, I've seen many people say that Neverness to Everness is tainted. That any attempt the company may make to course-correct, will not matter to them. I genuinely feel that this is the wrong approach. All that does, is embolden the other side. "See? They'll never be happy anyway," and encourage the company to continue their usage of AI. The company will feel that the opinion of those who dislike AI cannot shift for them, and so they will not bother. But I would rather a company realize their mistake, and try to get the ENTIRETY of the community's support back, by changing the assets they used, than have the bridge be burnt altogether. In the last year or so, I've seen the public sentiment shift away from being almost majority anti-AI to more and more people expressing pro-AI sentiment for reasons of contrarianism. I really don't want people to become ambivalent towards AI usage, and become convinced that those who hold an anti-AI stance are "overreacting." I wish we could extend a hand to developers who use AI, and show them a better path, rather than shun and blacklist them. Many likely don't know better, or have been presented with a false reality, and if we assume malice rather than ignorance, they will only be pushed away for good. We need to show a human approach. Because preserving the human approach is the very reason why AI will forever be inferior to the human spirit.

@Irtcem Thank you so much! That's not something im looking at right now. Maybe some day?

@fafnirfenn hi @fafnirfenn, how are you? I started reading your work and really enjoyed it, so I wanted to ask if I could translate your comic into Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR)

Flare does not like elves. She does like drats. (And one human)

@ScarlightProto Head belts lol

@fafnirfenn Bro pulled up for kingdom hearts

I'm no fashion designer. But I tried. 😅

@SnekguyStories @JosephVirtuoso Nice cover. Whos the artist?

My new book is out! Being taken captive by Orcs should be a bad thing, but for a serf, it's an improvement. For the first time, Rian has plentiful food and a warm bed, but he can't let his hosts figure that out. Read free or buy: tinyurl.com/ye3kxnxn Artwork by @JosephVirtuoso

@Rahll @Noahpinion What if i say "this" ... does that make you shut up and give me money? No? What about "this" ?

@Noahpinion "Very glad Sam is lying through his teeth, excellent pivot."

This is a HUGE messaging pivot. For many years, replacing humanity was the explicit stated goal of OpenAI as a company, and of a large number of top people in the AI industry. Very glad to see this rhetorical pivot.

New page of the comic is up. XD dragonesssayssit.com

@Merrydawg Did you just watch a mr. Beast video... 😅

Myradean has a Magical psychic spying drone.
