Won’t someone please think of the poor Hollywood studios?

I don’t think it’s as ugly as people say it is, but it is FAR from cute.

This implies the existence of extra pronouns that can be unlocked or purchased from the in-game store.

It certainly wasn’t great, but it was campy and enjoyable, and I feel like they did what they could given the source material.

I think sub at this point just means subcommunity. Like there’s the larger lemmy community, and then there’s subcommunities.

I’ve also heard people call them sublemmies, which I’m not completely against.

Caffeine, anger, and a commitment to the bit.

Rust is great and I love it, but it’s just not really for me.

I don’t get why this is using a Samsung parody, when Apple is much more well known for this.

They taste fantastic :)

Was like “they kinda have a point with a few of these” until I got to the steam deck one lmao.

Reminds me of that one meme captioned like “the only good thing to do with console games” or something (it was more obnoxious, very PC masterracey) and the image was someone cutting a pizza with a copy of scalebound.

While I was there I saw someone talking about how they thought AI art was acceptable if someone doesn’t have the spare time or money to dedicate time to getting good at art so that they can make a game people won’t reject because the art is ugly

I’m sorry to bring that discussion here, but it’s been sticking in my mind. I never really understood that argument, because pretty much all the artists I know work full time for minimum wage. And I don’t think people care that much about a game’s art if the game itself is good (big reason low-poly and simplistic pixelart are so common in the indie space). On top of that, if you have the time to learn to code and to use a game engine, you probably also have time to practice art.

I think a lot of the interest in AI art comes down to the want for art but a disinterest in the process of making art. For me, finding that initial spark is what got me on the path to drawing more often. It’s a lengthy process and it takes a while before the fruits of your labor become evident, and I think that’s what turns people off. But if you just practice occasionally, maybe sit down for 30 minutes a couple times a week and doodle some guys, you’ll notice a huge improvement in a year.

That said, I’m not entirely against AI art. I think it can be somewhat useful for things like D&D campaigns, where you need detailed backgrounds or character portraits on the fly, or for memes (that doctor mario one comes to mind lol). But I think a lot of people use it as a crutch and as an excuse to remain apathetic about their art skills.

I write spells (programs) that direct mana (electricity) through runes (logic gates) to conjure illusions (display furries on my screen)

Yes. Typically, to multiply two n-bit numbers, you need n - 1 n-bit adders. You basically do long multiplication.

I’d upload an image but either voyager or my instance won’t let me for some reason, so sorry if this doesn’t embed right

To think that analog mediums are superior to digital requires a fundamental misunderstanding of signals and the human range of hearing that you can only get from placebo enthusiasts “audiophiles”

(I am by no means shitting on actual audiophiles btw. I consider myself an amateur audiophile.)

Edit: should also clarify I’m not shitting on people who enjoy records. I’m shitting on people who strictly think analog is better than digital.

I never really got too into it, it was always kinda just a franchise that I interacted with sometimes. Like if I was at a friend’s house and they had the movies on or they had Lego Harry Potter on their console of choice I’d be into it. But it always kinda just struck me as an extremely generic franchise. I read the first book as a kid and then kinda just didn’t feel compelled after that. I feel like there is so much more you could do with magic in a modern setting other than a half-assed isekai.
