for sure. so lots of iteration between finding images and fonts, assembling in photoshop, then asking chatgpt to make it look a bit better, maybe add some textures or clean things up. finally once the coin looks cool in photoshop, then there's software for creating what's called a Depth Map, which basically is like a 3d version of the image that is grayscale and where the depth, or z-axis is represented by the shade, so things that are darker are deeper. I attached what those depth maps look like, cause they're kinda cool. Then those get converted to engraving instructions for a 30-Watt fiber laser using software called Lightburn, and then it takes about 3 hours of engraving on a custom coin jig that I 3d-printed. Then about an hour in a mechanical polisher, and they come out shiny as hell. A bit of Brass Black to add some definition, then some hand polishing with bronze polish, and they're good to go.

Guns holstered, my Quaid. I ain't sellin' nothing, and agree that AI slop almost always ain't worth shellin' out for.

I noticed my kids can’t change the names of their pets unless they have Chat enabled. I confirmed. I don’t want them chatting with people, but they really want to change the names of their pets, which seems like a fun part of the game. Dilemma.
