  1. I just finished up a large sales thread and after the first day, people were irate that I did not update the thread quickly as I was posting things for sale. Someone would buy a book, but I'd keep posting - pausing to update about every 20-30 minutes - boardies did not like that. So the next day when I was posting the next batch, when I sold a book, I'd stop what I was doing and update the post to 'Sold'. It adds some time, but there was no grumbling. Not that this applies to your X-Men listing, but: I also tried to post books in random order (no alphabetical) on the first day to just mix it up. It was not only confusing for the Boardies, it was way more time consuming on my end for being able to sort through and find books that people bought and get them in their pile. Would not recommend that at all.
  2. I had no idea that LNWTD used AI until I read this post by Jim Lee: https://www.instagram.com/p/C47OqTSoJBs/?img_index=1 I'm a little surprised he jumped on the "AI is ok" bandwagon, and even more surprised he didn't kill this post the minute people started coming out saying the film had used AI. Granted, it's IG where people will figure out a way to complain about anything - but Jim Lee justifying it by saying "It's only for 30 seconds" was unexpected. I understand that we'll be seeing AI more and more often, but to see a traditional illustrator with the talent he has not taking the stand against it's use at all - is pretty disappointing. Are people making a big deal about nothing? To me, three seconds of AI is three seconds too much. It's an affront to creativity, but maybe I'm in the vocal minority opposing the non-vocal majority? I mean, if Jim Lee doesn't think it's a big deal, why should anyone else?
