ITS ABOUT PROTECTING NATURE AND LIVING AS A PART OF IT. NOT MAKING A GENOCIDE. If you think it's about poaching then the guild knights would like to have a word with you.
if you think monster hunter is just about slaughtering then you aren't a Hunter.

i fucking LOVE how there's already a community of people inventing ways to be able to effectively take good pictures of MHW creatures

One thing that I really like about Rey Dau and the Apex system is that for the first time since like MH3, it really feels like you're fighting a monster on *its* home turf
That was the best part of underwater combat as well and im so glad that particular feeling is back

Oh cool, AI generated concept art for a movie. Hollywood's so cooked as an industry
Paul W.S. Anderson will write and direct The House of the Dead film deadline.com/2024/10/house-o…
“This is a full-on terror ride. It’s different than what we did with Resident Evil, where there were lots of traps and puzzles and things to be figured out. House of the Dead is at heart a light rail shooter game, so it drags you straight into the middle of the action. I’m going to make a movie that mirrors that approach and plays out in real time, dragging the audience straight into the action. It’s not going to be kind of lumbered with a whole bunch of back story that might exclude people who know nothing about House of the Dead. Everyone’s going to be on the same page. Everyone’s going to get sucked straight into the action and learn about the characters and the plot, as they have 90 minutes to basically escape the most extreme haunted house you’ve ever been in.”

Do you want illustrations of fossil fishes? I am now taking limited commissions! DM me for more payment details, but I am currently taking PayPal. I am too lazy to set up a proper comms sheet, but prices/samples are listed in the thread below: (1/10)

An underdiscussed aspect of the genAI debacle is how it emerges out of the capitalist myth of the "genius polymath", the idea of a solitary entrepreneur succeeding entirely by themself. genAI enables this fantasy by giving one person the means to generate every asset they need -

Like many of you, I am extremely excited for Monster Hunter Wilds!
Since there is still ways to go before we get news on it, I thought I'd talk about my thoughts and theories on the game!
RTs appreciated!

Images created by artificial intelligence, are bound to be... Artificial. Nothing beats results of authentic, real, human intelligence and creativity 💙 I try to make palaeontology welcoming and fun for all demographics 🦕

Howdy, I'm Primal and I sculpt and paint tiny dinosaurs and other prehistoric critters by hand!
If you practice you can do a lot with art all by yourself

Using AI imagery takes the heart and wonder of out that makes it such a magical genre. It’s the artist behind the image who marveled at an extinct animal now long gone that makes a piece of paleoart so impactful to me.
Here is some of my own marveling vvv
