    Where’d you come up with this idea?

    The inspiration for The Also-Rans came from my experience playing classic SNES and Playstation 1 RPGs. Chrono Trigger is an amazing game, and should be on everybody’s “play before you die” list, but that isn’t the game that inspired me to create a story with the unlovable side characters, because there really aren’t any in…

  • I mean, obviously; AI is all about copying things from patterns, and if you don’t have a pattern, well, good luck. On the plus side, you don’t feel guilty for wasting an artists time by being wishy washy. On the minus side, you are wasting your own time as Stable Diffusion offers up a pile…


  • Asking AI art to make monsters is easy; most things end up looking monstrous when computers stitch together body parts into something its algorithms say “meh, that’ll do.” Even Dr. Frankenstein knew that fingers don’t come out of armpits, but that was back in 1818; two hundred some years later and we are much better…
