Exactly right, Joe.

They do this with Early Access and people still lose their shit about empty content and unfinished graphics in a game they paid $10 for.

When people make me play Monopoly, I always take the housing shortage strategy for the guaranteed fast win. People hate me, but rules are rules, and I hate that game.

Call me pretentious, but I genuinely forget about Facebook and that lots of people still care about it.

And this is why you don’t get invited into other people’s showers.

Possibly. People that have allergic reactions to venomous stings can see it for multiple insects, though it’s not common. The only way to know is testing, by whacking a stick on the nests of different wasp species and taking note if any make you anaphylactic. If you’re all good, you can be more assured it’s just bees, but nothing’s 100% certain until you aggravate insects with a stick and test.

I dunno. Todd could be exaggerating…

Yep, Todd probably was entertained.

I go a step further and block them in DDG. This includes any “article” I have to scroll through to find the answer.

This is how I lost 30% of my possessions moving house.

I hear the Nintendo war drums…

So memes; not Shitposts.

Fortunately, there’s plenty of meme communities here. Just type “meme” into search and start hitting that +. I’d also recommend blocking shitpost communities if you don’t like them, especially as it seems you’re viewing an uncurated “All”. Hope that helps :)

The shitpost should be less shitposty?

It’d still work, but that’s against the whole point. I mean, you’re just proving it worked as designed. That’s quality shitposting.

The story I hated.

I made my character based around John Coffey from Green Mile, but like he’s the bad ass everyone thinks he is. I knew I wanted to drop INT and CHA for brute strength and constitution. I was ready to do everything possible to dominate the Wastelands… But that intro… Just the character creation…

It’s like, if you weren’t drawn toward making a character bio based around the white nuclear family, you were never going to enjoy the intro at all, and you’d put off the main quest as long as possible to go do all the crazy shit you hit the wastelands for.

“It’s time to find Shaun.”

“But-”

“No. You’ve murdered everything, you’re an absolute beast. You are all that is chaotic-neutral in the wastelands. It’s time to finally start quest 2 of the main quest.”

“But I’m not a family man! He’s not even mine! I only met that bitch at the bar the night before!!”

“Well, that’s not what the game says-”

UNINSTALL

6.5/10

The issue is similar to using other people’s data for profit. It’s easy to not feel that’s the case because “it’s the AI that does that, not me.”

There’s a lot of concerns around it. Mine is that we have longer periods of style with minimal variety because of artist stagnation due to lack of financial backing. Though, this is for all gen AI as it depends on humans for progression, else it stagnates. People are already getting AI art fatigue because it feels like that old 2005–2015 Adobe Illustrato vector art everyone was doing, because it is. It was an incredibly popular and overused style back then, so itt’ brimming with it in comparison to other art styles it got from the internet. It already looks dated, but acceptable because it’s familiar to most. It depends on more artists progressing our art to be able to do the same. But it won’t do that as fast if art culture is slowed due to lack of support.

Because then artists aren’t getting paid but you’re still using their art. The AI isn’t making art for you just because you typed a prompt in. It got everything it needs to do that from artists.

Lace it with LSD and it’ll fix my outlook on life for about six months until reality wears me down again.

How dare you propose freedom in the land of the free. No freedom for you! Not until you pledge an allegiance.

I think you underestimate how well developed the VA industry is in Japan

Oh, no. That’s the point! It’s so, so good. If English dubbers just copied it enough, it would still be decent enough. They don’t have to explore, practice, or come up with excellent VA, just copy, even amateurishly, and it’ll be good.

I think the issue is many English dubbers try really hard to speak to match the mouth movements and it ends up sounding so unusual. But also, stuff like choosing some young high pitched voice when the original actor was a deep sombersome voice that matches the character’s appearance and demeanor.

I’ve never watched it apart from trying a couple episodes and not liking it at all. I don’t even like the memes.

Yeah I said it! Watchya gonna do?! prepares to run
