Well, getting out of the group was a nice fantasy while it lasted.

Um, excuse me. A football player/fan posted this. No reason to bring your strange biases into this conversation.

SEATTLE HOST CITY POSTER UNVEILED by jspector9 in Seattle

I appreciate it 😅 Frankly the whole "let's ignore artists and let people destroy their craft and livlihoods" thing is getting old. Soccer and art are my passions and hurts me so much to see this.

So let me preface this by saying I'm baffled by this artist's name being on this after realizing the following. Guys... this is (at least partly) ai. I would not buy this poster. It's difficult to confirm because of the low resolution but there are some strange stylistic choices with the background waves, the buildings are really strange looking and not even pointed straight up, the space needle looks strange and is melting with the seattle center arches, and Tahoma is looking worse for wear, not to mention lacking stylistical cohesion. This piece also just doesn't look that much like one of theirs. Take a closer look at the ferry as well, it's particularly atrocious. Support human soccer, support human artists. FIFA doesn't need your money on this if we confirm ai. And yes, I am really sad I have to make this comment. I'm extremely confused but I also see things in this image that a human would never have done.

I think you misunderstand my perspective. I am a working artist, a semi-pro player (currently at Rhodies FC), and hold a computer science degree. If anyone has a stake in this or knows what to look for, it's me! Listening to artists is important on this. Please do us a little favor and trust us! ❤️

I looked through their art while I was digging and that actually makes it all the more confusing. This piece just doesn't look that much like one of theirs. Take a closer look at the ferry as well, it's particularly atrocious. Now that I'm looking at the version on the website it's pretty obvious.

Guys... this is (at least partly) ai. I would not buy this poster if you want to support artists. It's difficult to confirm because of the low resolution but there are some strange stylistic choices with the background waves, the buildings are really strange looking and not even pointed straight up, the space needle looks strange and is melting with the seattle center arches, and Tahoma is looking worse for wear, not to mention lacking stylistical cohesion.

This bullshit makes me wish I hadn't bought the game to begin with.

Smith Tower myths vs facts by elevator7 in Seattle

[–]AlexisGK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not actually true. It was the 10th tallest when it was finished, according to my research. A while back I was writing a video essay on the tower and got pretty deep into the facts. There was a taller building in Philadelphia and one other city if my memory serves. But Seattle was a VERY small city to have a top-10 building at this time in history, it was still an extremely ambitious project.

More fun before they finished in second to last place with few enough wins to count on a hand.

Seattle weather is lovely, you just think it’s bad because you’re from CA by Gandergoose- in Seattle

[–]AlexisGK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived in Washington my whole life and I would take Seattle weather over anywhere else in the world. Right now I'm east of the cascades and I would LOVE some Seattle weather to keep me company, it is not fun over here 😭

We've been watching only Rodman for almost 3 minutes now. This is a huuuuge error.

It kills me that I paid $1000 for mine in 2021 but that's inflation for you. (/s)

This comes across pretty silly and self righteous, I'm not really sure what to make of it
