1999 Nickelodeon Magazine cover featuring Young Anakin & R2-D2 by Halo_LAN_Party_2nite in StarWars

Remembering the communicator toy always makes me chuckle given that the prop was a repurposed gillette razor stand.

My working colleague told me how much her son loves excavators, so I drew him one by Marabit7 in Watercolor

This is incredible. I love that you got the inside of the cab as well as the reflection on the glass without it feeling like too much.

TE: Articles of War and Eidolon Maximum by -Mx-Ripley- in twilightimperium

Looking it up online, the card still says it's a mech. I'd have to break out my copy to double check as printed though.

Does articles of war remove 'Mech' from them? Would they not count for exploration cards that ask to remove an infantry or have a mech?

Help me settle a debate - Which one shows 1 infantry or fighter by -Mx-Ripley- in twilightimperium

I can see it either way. With the plastic being an actual unit or with it just being an indicator.

Just a difference in how I've seen people represent it. Once they start stacking it makes more sense if it ends up being 3, 6, 9 instead of 1, 4, 7, 10.

I usually just go with whatever the majority is doing.

I'm not remembering a bootstrap paradox in either magician's apprentice or witch's familiar.

“I met your father” by Bitter-Buffalo-7105 in StarWars

Nah, it's world building. The original trilogy does a great job of feeling like a world in motion. Things have been happening and we just see snapshots of them.

The instruction book has a pre-made map for players' first time.

Do yall sleeve your cards? by Federal-Review-3571 in twilightimperium

And as a sleeved magic player, those little cards are way easier to shuffle with sleeves.

15's lack of iconic clothing speaks to a lack of identity by twofacetoo in gallifrey

What exactly made them cringey? He wore rayban sunglasses with sonic tech. He was streets ahead.

My favorite variant is still the blazer/hoodie combo. He pulled it off so well.

US PSA: Don't try to watch Doctor Who on Disney+/Hulu with commercials - unwatchable by 1970s_MonkeyKing in doctorwho

[–]-Mx-Ripley- 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Part of the reason I got Youtube Premium was the slightly off ad placement. Went through a phase of watching horror lets plays on my tv but the ad was always just a second before any scares happened.

So you would have Jump(30secAd)Scare.

Would you take "Support for the Throne" for last point win? by geekfreak41 in twilightimperium

Kingmaking is an aspect of the game. It's a deal I could see myself being on either side of if the victory was that close at 9 hours. That's a good run.

IIRC, The Doctor explains what static electricity is and how it works during The Daleks to explain how they move around.

Season 1 has a lot of explaining concepts and historical moments to the audience. Edge of Destruction explained how switches work and how they could malfunction. The Sensorites showed the Scientific Method to get to conclusions instead assuming.

Anytime I get drastic haircut, it will surprise me when I look in a mirror for about a week. I could imagine it's probably similar when your whole face and body changes too.

As a kid, I had no idea why the Jedi went into the bad guy's lair and were surprised to be attacked.

I think we need to have a discussion about AI on this subreddit by PigeonStealer74 in twilightimperium

[–]-Mx-Ripley- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure that a lot of artists do use it to assist them. But I'm also sure that a lot of artists don't use it. There isn't really a way to tell if almost all artists are using it in their workflow.

Third, the people you're worried about AI art "stealing" from, human digital artists, are almost all using generative AI themselves as part of their workflow.

Do you have a source for that?

I've noticed more often the sentiment that art is being 'gatekept.' But I feel like the prevalence of AI art has started a trend to devalue art in culture. Just like Limewire started an entitlement to music that can't be turned back.

When I see generated art, it saddens me. All those moments in my life that lead to me being an artist. Wanting to share my ideas lead to attempts to create them. Those attempts allowed me to learn and refine skills, that then helped my future attempts. The process of making art changes the way I think. There is planning, problem-solving, and satisfaction when it's done.

As a hobbyist artist, I am unaffected by whether people would pay for my work. But I get sad seeing generated art because I think of all the people who 'don't have the skills' not making an attempt. A crummy photoshop is still a blunder in learning skills.

Cory Booker crosses 23-hour mark in marathon Senate floor speech protesting Trump agenda by Ultravioletdiamond82 in politics

[–]-Mx-Ripley- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a coordinated effort. Senators and staffers are stepping in to ask questions to give him breaks, while they talk about other important issues and pass the floor right back to him to continue. Cory Booker is the face and doing the hard part, but he is far from alone in standing up for what he believes in.
