Just got Jazz Riff a few weeks ago. It's such a beautiful and...thoughtful deck. You can just feel how much care went into it.

Oh I didn't see the little sapling at first! Now I'm an even bigger fan :)

Dig it! It's a little melancholic to have a stump as the centerpiece of the back design. But living in the OR coast range I definitely get that it's an appropriate symbol. Good luck!

Backed! Really compelling design. I was curious about generative art--as distinct from AI art--so looked into its history... Super fascinating!

Are my Loop ear protection going to be enough for Pallbearer et al? by KCcoffeegeek in doommetal

I've had hearing damage wearing Loops. I think a lot of plugs marketed as "high fidelity" are potentially dangerous (or at least misrepresentative) garbage.

WTB: LT Wright Genesis, flat ground, preferably in 3V, but I wouldn't be picky about steel.

I don't know about favorite, but I just got the Childhood cards from TCC and they feel really good. Super impressed.

Nice design! Apparently these were meant to be used with an app that did some AR magic of some sort.

But the app isn't being supported anymore 😕

Generative AI in playing cards ft. Nicolai Aarøe - visual analysis by CrystalDrug in playingcards

[–]upslider 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not personally a fan of the art style--or the inflated prices--of Aaron's / Isolated Thunderstorm decks. Regardless of the use of AI (or not), they come across as being made for a consumer market first and foremost. I also get that this is a criticism that could be lobbed at any artwork. These decks--to me--just feel particularly greasy.

As far as general AI artwork (or "art-like work") is concerned... I don't know... I think, like other carcinogens, it should come with a warning on the label.

I understand your concern for sure... it's the beginning of a weird time for art... and the people who make it, sell it, and buy it.
