Exactly, this is forcing lowest-common denominator instagram art “style” onto existing art. Should we do this for all the paintings in the Louvre too? It would be more realistic that way, right?

Bro they taught them that shit.

“All technological development is good because there are always people who complain and then the technological development continues regardless. There’s no point in critique, everything is always perfect and nothing you say will change it anyway so who cares.”

Wow that’s hyper realistic!

It Hollywood glossified it.

So why don’t you explain what you meant because it sure sounds to the rest of us that you’re basically “yah brah totally hotter this way YOLO hang loose wooo!” and completely missing the point on how destructive this is to the creative process and the art that goes into making a game.

If I was an artist that worked on the game and had this shit forced on my product it would make me fucking furious!

I think a bigger issue is the fact that they override the original artists’ intentions and expressions. It’s like if you painted a painting and AI is like, hey let me just touch up everything for you that I think you fucked up.

It’s not the quality that is the point here, as much as that sucks too.

Came here to post this, I’m glad it’s blowing up. What new monstrosities they unleash upon us… I don’t know how to even list all the things I have problem with with this.

Not as clumsy or random as an imperial trooper US Marine, but an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.

Sigh… I mean… I tried. And while there is much to be said for it, there is a lot to be said against it too. It’s kind of a win some lose some deal. Depends on where you live. If I was in the USA I’d fuck right off to basically anywhere, and SE Asia wouldn’t be a bad bet. Thing is, they don’t just accept people willy nilly. Unless you want to endure a permanent border hopping enema, you need a work visa, student visa, or retirement visa, and those all come with their own hurdles.

Good luck tho, I can def vibe with the sentiment.

"In German, oder English

That’s damn true. All of SE Asia is basically a neon (*actually LED) vortex

In this case the other end of the cat is cuter.

That is a chupacabra. Not a cat.

I mean there are some ugly damn cats, for real.

They’re not only rolling out the total surveillance society- they are making people pay for it and subscribe to monthly fees for the privilege.

A simpler, objectively better, time. We really were lucky as fuck to be born to live through that age, because what came before it was kind of not so great, and the way shit looks today still ain’t great. But there was a time sandwiched in the middle that was almost peak society.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for Amiga I think it was which came with a photocopy proof translation table that you used with a red piece of translucent plastic overlay, which would reveal the codes underneath.

Or maybe that was Zak McKracken.

Both amazing games. I remember the Monkey Island 2 one also, but I think we had cracked versions for all of those games anyway tbh. :)

Hahahaha!

Yeah it’s ridiculously deep. Like I said, I played it for 30 years and I still learn new stuff all the time when I read the wiki or watch videos, like “damn! Had no clue, that is pretty smart, what a bizarre mechanism but it’s perfectly logical when you think about it” hahaha!

Hahaha! First run ever that I got a wand of wishing and genuinely have nothing more I need, so I wished for a blessed figurine of an Archon and applied it, and he spawned with Demonbane and just mows down monsters like it’s nobody’s business. :)

Nethack. Been playing for 30 years and still never ascended. This time I’m fully kitted out and I’ll be damned if I don’t get a win!

No! My Compaq Presario!
