This technology (midjourney) is a big threat to artists, for sure. So far the stuff that's showing up on youtube is more creative and more interesting than the fanart I've seen!
January 10, 20232 yr ^ in the movies/games about machines, which universe do you prefer: the one where machines and mankind fight (Matrix, Terminator, etc.), or, the one where mankind and the machine merge (Cyberpunk, Deus Ex, etc.)? Question for everybody, BTW

I prefer the merging. My favorite Sci fi film is Blade Runner and favorite sci-fi game is probably Deus Ex Human revolution.
January 10, 20232 yr I am almost done with the preview chapters for Winds of Winter. These were released up to 2015. The quality of these chapters are good but not legend-tier like parts of books 1-3. The problem however is their impact is really muted as book 4 and 5 have completely lost the plot. There is no tension or anticipation to these preview chapters as they seem to be unrelated threads and the constant procrastination/repetition has made my expectations really low. I did learn a bit more about what will be in Winds of Winter but don't have enough to forecast a final act for the series. I think GRRM really screwed up the plot here. The Song of Ice and Fire has approx. 160 hrs out of 200 hrs of great content but 40 hours of unsuccessful material. I can understand the anger of the fans much more now that I've finished the books. I think besides the lack of plot there is also the frustration that they spent so much time reading and anticipating. The Arya preview chapter in Winds is actually worse than the scenario in the show. The show's Mummer's trope storyline was better than GRRM's chapter about it. It is overall baffling to me why GRRM couldn't finish his story. He had an amazing foundation and could have easily ended it in a satisfying way. This incredible procrastination and over-writing in the last 2 books is quite strange.

I would have liked Cyberpunk better if they chose more likeable setting. Like the Deus Ex Cop/Blade Runner vs all the criminals. Have you played the original (really old game)?

January 12, 20232 yr I just bought a Shani figurine on amazon. I like the pose and look she has: It appears to be a variation of the B & W promo wallpaper

It's interesting. Elizabeth is an archetypal female character. She dreams of peace, love and celebration. She's full of feminine energy and her naivety is touching. I like these types of characters and she's a beautiful blue-eyed brunette. Of course her naivety and casualness can only exist as she under the umbrella of her two fathers (the freedom father and the authoritarian father - as even her golden prison is a place that allows her to dream).
