I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt. I have a lot of leaned skills but programming and digital art aren’t on the list. Since I don’t have the money to pay someone to make a game for me or 4 years to learn the whole of the skills from scratch, generative AI is my only option. Plenty of people will look down on me for that but if they had a robot that would do all their welding and woodworking for them they’d tell me to get fucked for asking them to pay.
That’s actually a bit of a mislead. Most AI software has hand correction built into models now so they get it right more than they don’t. We’ve all just associated bad hands with AI so the easiest way to get the wanted response is to make bad hands. If those images are AI generated, I’d bet “bad hands, too many fingers” were in the prompt.
Organization and exploitation of the tolerant.
The right wants to meddle and they wanna fight you so they can meddle more. The left don’t want to bother, they want everyone to mind their own.
Letting meddlers mind their own means they come to you to meddle and you leave to avoid it and suddenly there’s Lemmy in an internet full of people that want to kill you for not being them. The left doesn’t fight, it allows.
At the time I read The Girl I thought that part was a bold move. Drinking random creek water will totally do that to you and I liked that he didn’t pull his punches just because the character was a girl.
Then I read his other works. I’m pretty sure he’s into kids. There’s a small benefit of the doubt that it’s his version of a dead baby joke and he does it just to fuck with readers, but I’m too jaded to expect he’s not dicking children himself.
I actually love layer lines, it’s such a distinctive look and feel that few other things have. I keep a second profile for my printer that prints at 0.4/0.2 just for that feel.
My insurance won’t cover it so I have to take Novemugust…
And you’re going to make the decision based on that and someone who would have gotten food or saved for medicine, or only needed that $5 to get a room night doesn’t get there. I’m not here to police that, all I know is I have, they don’t, and if I have something to give I should.
Oh yeah, you can get printing immediately, even make some really good stuff, but I’m taking about the people who think they can pick up some bunk diy thing and bag of pla and get professional resin detail on their first go.
“Don’t give that guy money, he’ll just use it to buy drugs”
I’m just going to use it to buy chocolate, fuck does it matter if it’s his addict or mine? At least I still have a house to eat my chocolate in.
Oh man, I can and do make a lot of wild things on my printer, but I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to talk people out of this as a hobby. I’ve had my box for 7 years, I’ve completely redesigned the print head, the fan assembly, the extruders, the feed method, the bed, basically everything but the body of the printer. You are not going to drop $200 on marketplace and start printing miniatures this weekend. You are not going to replace all the hardware in your house with printed parts. You are not going to print an armory of ghost guns.
This isn’t sci-fi replicators, this is at best goblin artifice.
I got to sit through a photos and editing class as a para last year and I learned so much about it! I really wish film was easier to get developed because I have this beautiful 60 year old agfamatic that I adore using and now I actually know how to adjust for lighting and angle, different framing techniques, and everything, but I still can’t afford to develop the shots.
Yeah, but with a unique leveling system and PvP.
Yeah. I even wanted to include an account based scanner for loot. You’d be able to scan barcodes and qr to get loot, battles, and stuff, but after the first scan it would remember and lock that reward so you could reclaim it daily.
I imagined players keeping little collections of barcodes so you could easily reclaim useful loot and when players meet in the wild they could scan up each others collections to get codes they may hot have found in the wild.
Digimon.
I have to carry my phone with me everywhere I go, I want a little guy that is personal and unique to me, it gets points for stuff I do, and them I can battle with other people who have their own little guys.
Pokémon go doesn’t cut it for me, the battle isn’t Pokemon. The games are great but it’s me playing the guy not me being the guy.
I have the whole thing on paper but learning the programming to make it is discouraging and I’m already in college and writing full time
I mean yeah, I’d say 250k is a lot for a 3rd party phone OS.
It does, but a lot of people but the pixels specifically to put graphene on it because graphene they’re compatible and graphene offers better privacy and security. What I’m getting here is drug dealers are using graphene to dodge digital narcs and it’s becoming common enough that the Venn diagram skews heavily to drug dealing.
I’m convinced JFK is an opsec trick. There’s nothing suspicious at all but if someone says that have a secret source about info the government hides and then mentions JFK, the agents investigating can drop it there because the know this guy is yakking out his ass.
I’m almost certain that card theft is always an inside job. I’ve met a lot of people dumb enough to break into houses in my time but the number of them that would look at my magic collection and think it’s worth the weight can be counted on one hand.
I’m confident that the person who does this is someone who knows the player.
It’s not really children that make these price tags. Trading card games have pretty lucrative secondary markets with the values based on the cards potential in strategy and tournament play as well as scarcity.
Personally I’m a magic the gathering guy and the main reason I don’t do tourney is is that I neither can nor would pay $120 for the 4 cards I need to make my deck competitive.
This is the main reason I cheat ballistic weave on everything in fallout 4. I love some of the outfits and it’s dumb that they’re worse than the vault suit.
