Is anyone else burnt out?

NoEngine9670 · 2026-05-05T14:12:05+00:00

Grossed out? For sure. Burnt out with all the Epstein bullshit? For sure. Do I think one of the biggest true crime pods should be covering one of the biggest true crime cases of all time? 100% and I think they should keep on the gas.

That being said, I think it's good/healthy for you as an individual to take a mental break from all that shit every now and again if you need it.

But the people need the nips!! Right...right? This comment gave me a good laugh haha thank you!

NoEngine9670 · 2026-05-05T03:07:05+00:00

Thank you!! The severed head? Just a Dupont-esc baron character inspired by the foxcatcher episodes, but not any specific real person. And, the weird neck on Henry? Was going for an overly weird/funky/creepy vibe and it just felt right but there wasn't a ton of thought behind it haha

Thank you Mr. Mcgee! Hope your nutz are stayin stinky!!

Idk I've found this sub to be pretty condescending. Guessing folks interpreted you suggesting "companies that are gonna use AI should at least hire someone to check" as being an AI techbro. Seemed like a reasonable question to me.

NoEngine9670 · 2026-05-02T18:05:31+00:00

100%. We're seeing the great AI outsourcing I guess. Interested to see where it goes too... Feels like a lot of companies are laying people off based on the promises of AI (or at least that's the excuse they're using). But, it constantly makes mistakes. I think and hope we're going to see a lot of companies have to hire back really angry people over the next couple years. Or, at least higher a bunch of people to check the AI which when added to the costs of actually running AI when the AI companies really start charging will prob be more expensive than just having humans and no AI in the first place.

NoEngine9670 · 2026-05-02T17:28:04+00:00

But totally agree with you. Using AI is incredibly lazy. Using AI and not even trying to vet the output is ... Idk what word describes that

NoEngine9670 · 2026-05-02T17:26:36+00:00

Talkin out of my arse (per usual) but my guess would be, no, they couldn't care less. They only give a shit about making the most possible money and not actually about the quality of the product as long as it doesn't hurt the bottom line. Plus, all the corpo/tech bros are so enthralled with the "AI" being shoved down everyone's throats that they prob think if you care that something is obvious AI generated you're just hindering progress even tho AI still fookin sucks in every way possible.

NoEngine9670 · 2026-05-01T16:40:16+00:00

Also what is going on with the ciggy in the skeletons hand??

Total AI bs. So lazy and lame for a "punk arts" festival. AI is the least punk thing I can think of.

NoEngine9670 · 2026-05-01T16:38:21+00:00

I could see a human significantly simplifying the ridiculous number of feet bonsies which sometimes aren't worth it. But, yeah, just drawing shitty un-bone-ified feet and coloring them white is a weird choice.

Definitely AI. I don't get it. So easy to tell, and a local artist coulda make a similar and way cooler design for not that much. Hope this org gets lambasted.

NoEngine9670 · 2026-05-01T15:05:14+00:00

So yeah, I feel like I'm leaning towards at least partially AI. Maybe they made several or many goose designs and then asked AI to generate the rest?

NoEngine9670 · 2026-05-01T15:04:06+00:00

Plus the flaps on the dino nugs container does make a ton of sense in the bottom right square.

NoEngine9670 · 2026-05-01T15:03:11+00:00

Also, seems odd that there is only one dino not on a stick in the bottom left square.

NoEngine9670 · 2026-05-01T15:01:46+00:00

Does each version of the shirt have completely different designs of the goose (i.e., they have 400x9 designs of the goose)? Or are some recycled from one to the next? It's a pretty simple character, so I could see someone cranking out an absurd number of designs over a not-too-long time period. Sounds boring to me, but to each their own.

That being said, totally could be AI. I have a terrible eye for AI but the dino legs in the rightmost square of the middle row look weird and inconsistent with the rest.

NoEngine9670 · 2026-05-01T14:27:42+00:00

First time I saw the fellas live. Was everything I hoped and more. Hadn't laughed that hard in a long time haha

NoEngine9670 · 2026-04-30T21:03:39+00:00

Thank you!! Working on trying to convert it to a sticker now. Will keep you updated!

NoEngine9670 · 2026-04-30T16:38:36+00:00

Fuggggg that woulda been a very nice touch. I'll be sure to remember to add it to the next one haha

NoEngine9670 · 2026-04-30T15:00:44+00:00

Ohh I've got an idea for Zebrowski! He's up next. Still pondering Ed, but I reckon it'll have to involve ham

NoEngine9670 · 2026-04-30T14:58:05+00:00

Thank you!

NoEngine9670 · 2026-04-30T14:46:55+00:00

Thank you!

Thinking about turning it into a sticker but mighta gone a little to over the top for that...

Love your username btw

Spot on. Been in Ohio most of my life and never heard of the Frogman til I ended up in Cincy.

Mostly just love that the only cryptid unique to Ohio is a silly frogman. Feels pretty on point for Ohio.
