AI vs. Artists: DragonCon’s Controversy

Ash and Little Beard dive into a wild mix of geekdom this week. From the indie juggernaut Hollow Knight: Silksong crashing servers worldwide, to Borderlands 4’s price hike backlash, to the new Jordan Peele–Hideo Kojima horror project OD, it’s a stacked gaming lineup. They also cover the TsunamiCon venue shake-up, the firestorm around AI art bans at DragonCon, and why 3D printing at conventions is facing similar questions of legitimacy. Along the way, the crew swap stories about Pokémon Go nostalgia, the strangest Disney films (yes, Pulp Fiction counts), and the collector’s hunt for rare autographs.
