AI Art, >>>/ic/, what is this style called?, Neobrutalist UI,

/trash/ - Kerning but more anthro-looking somehow

Takeaways

• Four votes is a bit low, but there were seven people in the thread. This disconnect between votes and posters can probably be attributed to people being pretty content with the roster as it exists today.
• Medals have taken a classic roster of Kerning, Glitch Art, Helvetica, Minimalism, and >>>/wsr/. This was perhaps not incidentally the medal line up the LAST time the 4CC went with five medals back in 2018.
• Roster Changes
  • Affinity Shill, who was given a reprieve from the axe last poll, is well and truly sacked this time.
  • Fuck You Pay Me is the potential second sacking if the second new player below happens. Wouldn't be the first time he got sacked if it happens.
  • We're adding an AI player, but we're staying firmly negative on its portrayal. We're still looking for names and such, but visually likely candidates is the model THE GODDAMN ROBOTS CAME FOR MY JOB we used for the spring final boss.
  • We're maybe adding a neobrutalism player. I'm not sure if neobrutalism is really a thing I just know it's hot and obtrusive and obnoxious. Visually that's a great read for a divegrass player.
• There was one negative lad post in the thread, who said he was saging the thread and failed to do so. I have a feeling it was just a shitposter, or god forbid, a horse.
• As always, I try to incorporate at least one suggestion from every person's response but depending on how workable they are and how much time I have for aesthetics they don't all get acted on. Please understand and don't be discouraged from suggesting the same ideas in the future.
