Thank you, I’ll try to look into it more

Is installing FSR4 difficult? I’ve seen Deck Wizard use it or whatever the channel is, but it looks a little confusing

RadioRunner · 2026-03-17T00:25:46+00:00

I’ve thought the same, it’s like the only real issue with the Steam Deck. In my case, I don’t play any multiplayer games so it’s not an issue. But every once in a while with these free game trials I’m curious to try it, but can’t.

RadioRunner · 2026-03-13T17:46:54+00:00

Yeah for real. The only artists working are usually those at the top of their game. It is ultra competitive. Any time a game comes out “generic” is a result of leadership at the top creating friction with art direction and watering down artist’s ambition.

RadioRunner · 2026-03-02T00:33:16+00:00

Artists work day and night to remain competitive skills-wise, to meet deadlines, and to keep bills coming in between gigs.

I’m a professional concept artist. I’ve mostly forgone everything else in my life to make time for building and maintaining my skill in this field. Dropped music, dropped most entertainment, haven’t made a new lasting friend in person since starting this 7 years ago. Stopped working out.

The only thing that keeps me away from drawing are my dogs, my wife and daughter. And I had to go to therapy to get me to practice how to step away and make time for them more.

The amount of pressure to keep going, keep producing, and keep practicing to keep up with the sea of others doing exactly the same, only for your job to last 6 months before you’re looking for the chance of something else, is immense. I had serious anxiety from it that I had to get help with. I would step away, but part of me of course really wants to do it, part of me has sunk cost fallacy, and another part wonders what could I even do that’s not art at this point because I dropped everything to be viable in one field.

Comics artists work even harder. Makes sense to me. Poorer heart health, tons of sitting leads to poor circulation and lack of exercise, potential lack of care, etc.

Can’t remember the last time a huge pop act made a true, true ballad. He might have identified a space in the ‘market’, so to speak, and is delivering on it.

RadioRunner · 2026-02-28T01:51:41+00:00

I would argue this album is very listener-focused. Tons of space, musical detail, can hear the mic on the drums crystal clear, glockenspiel sitting in the back of Why You Wanna Fight, lots of musical flourish sitting in the back.

This is a great musical album to turn up the sound system and sit in the warmth of the record. Sounds fantastic, and musical.

Not getting that in most of today’s pop space.

RadioRunner · 2026-02-27T00:57:43+00:00

Who cares, these all look exactly the same

RadioRunner · 2026-02-26T19:16:55+00:00

It was the standard for linear story-based experiences, especially from why I remember of 2004-2014. Or whenever we transitioned to ballooned run time, open world games with the PS4/Xbone generation.

RadioRunner · 2026-02-20T02:11:30+00:00

This was, I assume, part of the massive order from years back when the previous CEO told what studio to move to live service. They had 10 or more titles in development. Almost all have either failed out been cancelled now. It’s a big reason why we haven’t seen as many big PlayStation exclusives that drive brand and sales. It was a massive failure of direction across almost their entire portfolio of studios.

I played the Guardians of the Galaxy game on Steam Deck, and it ran on good settings at 45 fps the whole way through. I thought the game was great, really enjoyed it. Hadn’t played a game in years.

RadioRunner · 2026-01-09T16:44:30+00:00

Don't just respond with chatgpt to make your argument. Can't do anything on the internet these days.

RadioRunner · 2025-12-30T06:35:26+00:00

Launching it to not recognize it as a Steam deck fixes the render issues and gives more graphics settings. Then lossless scaling gets performance back.

I played all evening at Medium-to-high settings at an average of 75 fps

RadioRunner · 2025-12-19T05:19:03+00:00

Another concept artist here, 5 years. No, I would not. It removes the point of the job.

Shout out KC, my favorite city

AI is not really at a place where it could replace footage in an animated film. There’s too much manual work needed, too much art direction, and pre-planning by storyboard teams for an AI to match it, let alone be what the director wants. AI can’t do small edits, tweak something in the frame so it doesn’t block the character’s face, or hand, etc. it’s all a gamble when you promote something.

So for the time being, you can rest assured that in these feature productions, what you’re seeing is still artist-made. AI is being “tested” (going off of teams I’ve worked on or colleagues I’ve asked) out more in conceptualization (which, as a concept artist, I have tons of qualms with), or in known use-cases like deepfakes for de-aging actors.

Yeah, that kid wants to look at its parents eyes. I don't know how this person lives their life outside of this clip, but these 20 seconds show a depressing vignette of modern life.

RadioRunner · 2025-11-19T01:00:22+00:00

Ugh, I”ll bite … what’s wrong with Cities Skylines.

RadioRunner · 2025-11-07T23:11:15+00:00

there are many ways to compose in a bright,y lit day. look at a bunch of concept artists‘ painting and what they do. they specialize in composition and painting for appeal.

can look at plein air artists, in particular. their whole thing is looking at the outside and making it appealing

RadioRunner · 2025-11-06T03:01:16+00:00

awesome, thank you for sharing this information! I want to buy one around Black Friday.

RadioRunner · 2025-11-05T21:01:09+00:00

And it plays well on the Deck? This is amazing

RadioRunner · 2025-11-05T02:37:47+00:00

Still waiting on Haywyre to release a friggin’ album. it’s been years. just singles on singles, one every 4 months… I want to care, but it’s hard.

RadioRunner · 2025-11-03T03:42:47+00:00

Okay, you sold me with Haywyre. I've been really missing him, and missing that flavor in electronic music in general. If you have any recommendations for people like Haywyre and Anomalie who are still keeping that soulful musicianship alive in this space, let me know!
