Seen people accuse artists of AI silliest example ive seen is the artist showing all thr layering in a screen cap and they accused the video of being AI
"This is AI."
"Here's images showing my work step by step."
"That's AI"
"Here's a video showing me doing the drawing."
"Thats ai."
"Here's me doing it again and having an official witness and having the work notarized."
"Thats ai"
Gotten to a point id question if AI is just a word to throw around by artists jealous of not getting commissions

i think that's what Larian were doing right? and people still lost their shit
sterile jolt
Also needs to be a distinction Between art and images. Analogy i use is that art is like gourmet chef food, unique made with experience and has the presentation and flavor that stands out.
Human Image generators are like MTO shops they're not providing unique blend of art just exactly to the letter what the customer wants, working with them gets tedious because they seem to do better with actual pictures.
AI is like a bag of Fritos, cheap quick and you throw away the bag when you're done

The biggest point of contention against Expedition 33 as an indie game is receiving funds and being published by Kepler Interactive. However, this still technically works as an indie game because Kepler Interactive is a unique publisher co-owned by a group of indie developers that help fund and support games for independent studios.
😵💫
full mountain
Expedition 33 is def a double AA game, I feel
peak folio
It is, but that’s technically not mutually exclusive from being independent.
tranquil obsidian
if it isnt, then is anything pocketpair publishes also not indie?
Keplar are essentially a "here's your money, go make your game. let us know if you have any problems"
peak folio
I made a similar point.
tranquil obsidian
my view, which seems to be what most of these award shows goes by, is that its ultimately down to whether the devs are left to their own devices, or the publisher actively interferes
if we start factoring in prices or funding, then you start the arguments of whether anything funded by kickstarter or lottery wins or government grants counts
peak folio
As far as TGA is concerned I think their only criteria is if the game wasn’t under the “traditional” publisher model. Basically the publisher basically takes everything.
tranquil obsidian
thats AA; the publisher basically commisions the developers to make the game; the publisher retains everything (baldurs gate 3)
larian might be indie, but the work was essentially commisioned by the ip holder to amke the ip holder's game; larian just had creative power over how the game turned out
peak folio
No I mean they own the right, they own everything about the game and they generally own the studio too.
If it’s not that model then TGA counts it as indie.

More specifically, hardware spending was down a whopping 27% year-over-year to $695 million, the lowest hardware spending total for November since 2005's $455 million. Even worse, unit sales reached 1.6 million, which is the lowest November total since 1995's 1.4 million.
And that's representative of declines across the board. Xbox Series hardware sales were down 70% year-over-year. PS5 sales were down over 40%, and combined unit sales of Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 were down over 10% from Switch sales last year, despite this being a launch year for the Nintendo Switch 2.
Again, US specific
Even though PS5 outsold everybody else in November they’re still down quite a bit from last nov
Nintendo took the smallest hit compared to last year because they had new hardware, but they still sold more Switch 1’s last november than 1 & 2 combined this November.
Switch 2 is still the fastest selling console in history since launch, though.

I mean, cars are pretty neat but like, cities and towns (literally anywhere you are within 2 miles of another house) function better if the majority of people use public transit for the majority of their transportation
And the only reason cars seem necessary and important is because our cities are (badly) engineered with that express goal

high crime areas near workplaces also suck as far as work commutes but that's part of a bigger issue too
If pub transport worked well you'd pretty much only need a car for if you use it for work or long distance trips, or maybe if you're getting frozen groceries and need to get home asap (which is then actually possible from less cars)

With how America and it's cities are set up, of course car ownership is gonna be more beneficial to yourself.
