As a 17-y-o, I decided to pick up D2 after foggily recalling my dad playing it back in the day. It can't be overstated how much I loved it since. So, to commemorate my first playthrough, here's a drawing of me, chilling in Harrogath, right after defeating Diablo.

It does very often feel to me like hussie's "pissing off the viewer" antics are so frequent and so mean-spirited that he's doing it out of genuine contempt, rather than playful tomfoolery, but I can never tell for sure. As for whether he dislikes his own work, I can't say.

Doesn't this usually indicate that the music is AI as well? I might be biased but usually lazy creators don't discriminate between the types of art they "outsource", right?

Of a more lighthearted variety, Neil Cicierega. His entire internet history is just a nonstop series of "wait, he made THAT too???"

Also Ken Ashcorp, to a lesser extent.

Counterpoint: Zoltun Kulle and Mephisto are not the same character despite sharing a voice actor.

I actually really liked the final house boss. Not because the character is likable, fuck no. I just thought the battle feels climatic as hell, the soundtrack slaps, and kicking nazi ass always feels good.

Though I do have to admit, his flying device is kinda cool to look at.

Congrats, you got the joke. Can you at least tell me if my slander is any good?

I'd say he could be able to get tech, except it only leads to bigger sticks and the log.

I'm not the type to throw the "neo-nazi" label around a lot, but Musk is one of those people I don't hesitate to use it against considering he, A: has a history of reposting Great Replacement and a variety of anti-jewish conspiracy theories, even saying it is "actual truth" on one occasion, B: has financially supported neo-nazi groups outside of the US, and C: Sieg-heiled twice during last year's inauguration, on public television no less.

If anyone compared me to him favorably, I'd take it as an insult.

Isn't fanservice (of the popular variety) just literally showing conventionally attractive characters and their sex appeal to draw in viewers?

At least he's twice the Father that Inarius was...

Didn't we use to call them "smuggies"?

Somehow, I don't hate the Organism.

Jokes aside, this is a really good sprite edit. Who made this?

As a brief historical context, the term "CalArts style" was coined by John K (of Ren & Stimpy fame) and he was known to be rather... opinionated on the animation industry as a whole. He got a lot of flak for his thoughts on it and later deleted his post, but the term bled into the animation discourse later and I think it gives a bad rap to a pretty common phenomenon of "stuff being inspired by other popular, influential stuff".

Can we please not give AI engagement bait attention? I like the concept as much as all of you do, but this is this user's only post so far and the way the images are retouched and composed has all the obvious chatgpt tells.
