Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

There are so many Kickstarter and DriveThruRPG products I just hit page back on when I see the AI art. You can make it work with royalty free art, if you can't afford to pay an artist, and everyone but you knows it.

Poser, some addons in Clip Studio Paint, and similar software have been a thing for ages. One can even import free models into Blender and compose a passable scene (with cell shading). But apparently, even that is a huge ability ceiling that justifies using art-stealing bots.

Think this is my last iteration of the holster pattern, unless I get really annoyed at the screw-ups in the pattern stamping on the back. Because it ended up being 6 layers of leather to get through with the rivets on the side I had to learn how to use traditional rivets and burrs, which is what those fakes on the pockets of your jeans are pretending to be.

The best part is when there's construction going on, and you're required to merge into a single lane. Connecticut's license plates say, "The Constitution State", but the local joke is that they misspelled "The Construction State"...

Certain kinds of road and utility work can only be done when it's going to be dry for several days in a row. So for three months out of the year, every construction project in every city of the state tries to do a whole years' worth of construction all at once. The joke in my part of the world:

"Oregon has all four seasons: Almost Raining, Raining, Still Raining, and Road Construction."

Do you have "Closed for Construction That is Never Actually Taking Place"?

Kinda. Remember a few years ago, when people figured out how to change the flashing text messages on those traffic control signs? I used to have a photo of one where someone* had changed the message to read "LEFT LANE CLOSED / FOR NO APPARENT REASON / NEXT TEN MILES."

*it wasn't me, I promise.

For KS especially. Explicitly say "we are raising money to get this made with bespoke, humanmade art."

The classic four new England seasons are (said in thick back-country accent): "Fall, Wintah, Black Fly... and Construction."
