I like the console so far, but that dashboard is just so boring. Bring back the Wiiâs channel menu with those animated icons and that soothing music.

And thatâs clearly the poodle from Oliver & Company.

I thought this was a screenshot from Detroit: Become Human at first.

Hereâs how I see itâŚ
You know those old cartoons from the 30s and 40s that were full of racist imagery? You couldnât show those on TV today, but theyâre still works of art. They still deserve to be known, seen, and preserved. They just shouldnât be celebrated, since theyâre products of their time.

No company is completely free of bad history, but we should (if weâre able to) not give money to monsters.
For example, no one needs Harry Potter. There are dozens of fantasy IPs that donât puts trans lives at risk.

While I see where youâre coming from, itâs not that simple. As long as a terrible person can still profit from something, youâll still be supporting their terrible actions.
âSeparate the art from the artistâ is a myth.

Not to mention that there are countless Potter alternatives. Lord of the Rings, Dungeons & Dragons, Discworld, Elder Scrolls⌠just to name a few!
Thereâs no excuse.

I believe Lewis Carroll once said âA work that only appeals to children will appeal to no one.â or something to that effect.

It goes back farther than that. Ever heard of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition? It's a heartwarming show where a struggling family is given a dream home. But how do they pay for their larger, fancier home? The show never bothered to address that, because it would ruin the "feel good" mood.

This reminds me of the 2000s obsession with "charity porn" and "inspiration porn", which was largely a byproduct of the reality show craze. Doing good things for poor people with the primary goal of attracting viewers and advertisers just feels exploitative.

If I remember history correctly, the French had an elegant solution to this problem.

Itâs a good start, but I would like to see a higher polygon count on the faces. They almost look like store mannequins with faces drawn on them.

Even photography, which literally copies what it sees, still requires creative input on the artist's part (angles, lighting, framing).

"That is a perfect copy of reality. But art isn't about copying reality. It's about improving it. Expanding upon it."
If a machine can only copy what it sees, than it doesn't produce art. A real artist takes what they know and turns it into something that doesn't exist.

I define art as a form of creation stemming from agency and emotion. AI has neither of these things, and I think this quote from Detroit: Become Human (a game about androids becoming sentient) sums it up perfectly...
