I invite these bozos to do this. Fuck yes, let's go!

That's not Command & Conquer!

Chad move. If you get one of these, take the money and then film yourself inventively destroying the trophy.

So selfish of people, to have a modicum of standards and to know when they are getting ripped the fuck off. So very very selfish and bad. Just pay your overlords.

I have thousands of hours in DF...and I really wish it wasn't a buggy mess.

Marksdwarves not taking arrows? Follow this easy 20 step guide of obtuse mechanics that circumvent what's probably several bugs?

You fixed them taking ammo? Great, good job! Are they using the training room you set up verifiably correctly? No? Well sucks.

There are so many instances of this. Exploding trees killing woodcutters if trees grow into one another. Items left perpetually on the floor that can never be moved again. Military squads never returning from expeditions, forever blocking their noble spots and sometimes making it impossible to refill any positions...endless problems.

A lot of it can be fixed with DFhack but not all of it can. I am happy they are doing fresh content for the game, but I also wish they would take, like, two years to fix all the known bugs that have been in the game for several years. And while the steam version has a better interface then what was there before, it's hardly perfect. It's mostly just a bit more user friendly while being obtuse in new and inventive ways.

Why am I writing all this? Honestly I don't know. I just...the game is uniquely frustrating, but so cool when it does miraculously work.

"Also, thousands of gold worth of ink and reagents. Basically you have to be old money rich to be a wizard, or appropriate a bunch of riches from dudes who own way too large basements."

Adding $30.64 on the bet and pretending it's fair is bold.

Shoot whoever makes this app, by the way. I am sure this will become real in our lifetime.

So I have a latex fetish. A lot of the AI art i am exposed to is latex art for that reason and, sadly, people who make AI art like to make shiny/latex art because it actually simplifies the image and makes the generation superficially better.

The problem is, the lighting is always all fucked up. The most important part is all fucked up and wrong, the angles are random and bad and there are random light sources, backlights and nonsensical shadows everywhere. It's terrible to look at, feels wrong.

To me, this effect is also present on other generated images and i have kinda learned to recognize it now. Comes in handy.

But yea, what I just said about lighting and shadow you can say about every other aspect of the art as well. Too many details, details in weird places, things merging together. it's just gibberish in the form of a picture.

And when it comes to comic,s aka art with more then one panel that is supposed to have a recognizable style and design to each aspect, this is absolute poison. A character with a robotic arm will just have a human hand in the 3rd depiction because that is how the generation went and the cretin writing the prompts didn't care. No one in the chain knows anything about the art from and so it is bad.

Knowingly marching towards societal doom. Great. Murder these motherfuckers now and shut it all down.

So their positive tipping point example is using renewables. Next they will tell us that we need to use public transportation more, use bikes for our commutes and fly less! Wow!

This is the same message, slightly repackaged because our collective situation has worsened too much. I need these people to go in front of a microphone and say "The only way out is to abolish capitalism because that is what's killing all of us". Until then, this is all just substance-free.
