Half Woman Half Sea Lamprey

Hey I’m Em (she/her). I'm 32. Follow me @CakeWarlock on Twitter for even more content. I’ve spent seven years getting two art degrees so feel free to ask me for art advice if you want. In the video game industry. Ask me about my Fable or Baldur’s Gate 3 headcanons. NO TERFS.

How do we think Reaver’s immortality works?

Do we think it’s luck based? Like if someone tried to shoot him in the head, something would inevitably happen to prevent it. The gun would jam. The attacker sneezes and misses. That sort of thing.

Or is it the nastier, more traumatizing version where he still can experience fatal wounds, but somehow his body always pieces itself back together? Like he remembers the pain of getting his brains blown out but somehow, with enough time, it will always just. Fixes itself.

I feel like in 99% of cases Problematic Media:tm: does not actually fucking matter & then Joanne is *personally* building the Trans Woman Death Laser with her marketable wizard money & it's like. Just this once yeah I think engaging with the marketable wizards *is* indicating something about your Moral Character

[tlirsgender]

We can all yap about how being a Media Consumer isn't activism etc etc and that's all well and true but this one is actually a threat to people's rights so maybe we can do the bare minimum of, uh, growing the fuck up and having higher priorities than our personal nostalgia ? Something something white supremacist "right to comfort"

[briannyssey]

everything surrounding the id laws that just passed in Kansas is fucking horrible

[briannyssey]

[terramythos]

Hey Bri I hope you don't mind me sharing this on your post but in case anyone reading this is in Kansas or knows trans people in Kansas, Colorado is nearby and considered one of the safest states for trans & queer people. I know relocating is logistically expensive and challenging for many reasons, especially for people in a vulnerable situation, but if it is an option anyone is considering, there is a nonprofit here that may be able to help.

Steps These steps are intended to be a linear process to get you out of there and resettled here. But we get it, you’re a big kid and can do

Reaver still getting dreams about kissing sparrow, but over time he stopped being able to actually feel it

If Larian is using generative AI to develop concept art which is then given to artists to turn into game assets and environments, then they can’t say there is no AI generated content.

For placeholder text - Lorem Ipsum exists for a reason.

This is super disappointing.

[ayeforscotland]

The majority of Larian’s all-star VA cast for Baldur’s Gate have been massively outspoken against AI - and not just for performances.

Concept artists are unbelievably valuable, and AI generated concept art absolutely pushes them out of work.

How many of your favourite games have had a ‘making of’ documentary with amazing concept art shown as backdrops.

At the 2024 game awards, Swen Vincke said the winners of future Game of the Year awards would be studios who didn’t treat their staff like numbers on a spreadsheet — That’s how concept artists and junior writers are treated when it comes to Gen AI.

[ayeforscotland]

Last bit I'll add - He openly admits it isn't leading to big efficiency games. What did Larian think they were missing when developing BG3 that they needed to resort to using Gen AI?

And "Everyone at the company is more or less OK with the way we're using it" is such a shitty line. There have been so many job losses in the industry recently that the majority of people absolutely will keep their heads down if they thought speaking out would put them at risk losing their income.

It's frustrating when such a positive creative force in the industry pushes this angle.

[cake-warlock]

Do you like WIZARDS and THE INTERNET? You might like the new indie game me and my friends made, WizardWare!  I did a lot of the art, UI, and VFX on this game, and I would really REALLY appreciate you checking out the trailer and adding it to your Steam wishlist!

Are you a "Sparrow can fix Reaver" truther or are you cool and think they're more like "Peter and Catherine" from the Great and are in fact as bad as each other.

There's a hole in your soul like an animal

With no conscience, repentance, oh no

Close your eyes, pay the price for your paradise

and what are we going to do when the HP series comes out and we start seeing a resurgence of the fandom here including gifsets and fics. like are u guys gonna bring up your neurodivergence and cry "can we separate the art from the artist!!!!! you dont need to pay to watch it!!!!!its my comfort show and I'm DEPRESSED and AUTISTIC"

what then

[pudulogy]

and this isn't even about whether it's good or bad, it's the fact that even streaming the show "illegally" will give that bitch more relevance and like, some people really need to grow a backbone when it comes to consuming media

It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.

[apocalypse-angel]

#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

I hate Rowling so much.

[typicallyexceptional]

There's people in the notes saying they're going to watch it anyway, and you know, I understand how you can start feeling so burned out and numb from the world that it may feel too hard to avoid things that will give you a little immediate relief in some way in order to avoid the long-term impact of funding these things.

But. If you can't bring yourself to avoid watching it, you better at least fucking pirate it.

[lord-armitage]

FYI, Rowling posted this today. She is actively queerphobic, do not support this project in anyway.

[justonepurpose]

I know that this was a foundational thing for so many people. I was one of them. Without Harry Potter, I probably wouldn't be the person I am today.

If you're thinking about watching this anyway because you feel all that nostalgia: It's time to grow up. It's time to move on.

Don't even hate watch it. Make it fail.

It is the easiest thing ever to simply not do anything.
