is this some umamusume reference
Rimumusume
crazy
I don't get the why of it
so it's 4x32, ddr5 5600
there are 2x32gb, ddr5 6000's for a grand apeice
why is this twice as expensive as that and only sold 4 at a time
Does ram actually cost this much gd money rn
yeah I just idly decided to see what my system was worth now vs what I paid for it a year/two ago
every. single. part. is at least the same in price and almost all of it is more expensive
I think we should burn down llm model companies until PCs are affordable again
4090's $1700, 14900kf processor's $700
ram's a grand
haven't even gotten to storage yet
say what you want star citizen's one of if not the most beautiful game I've ever played
oh absolutely
Star Citizen is a product that kind of maybe exists
it's still heroin for people that are addicted to constant, light levels of emotional abuse
yeah I've got a couple ships, I check back in every couple months and maybe put another fifty bucks in the kitty to melt down what I've got and buy The New Thing when a new ship rolls out
well I've got almost every ship you can buy in-game, and then...two I think I paid for
I spent all my time doing the actual gameplay loop that pays the big bucks
befriending and bilking rich idiots out of their money
bilking
to take through surruptitious or unscrupulous means
It's very sad that I'll accidentally hit the new mechs with Napalm
And spamming mines too
I gave the people who had everything the one thing they didn't have
somebody to play with that was unfamiliar with the game
I think I'm up to 150 million donated to the Okri One Man Armada
its probably reset tbh
so if ya ever wanna see a ship lol
that's the thing, I've still got like idk 3/4 of all the ones I bought like two years ago
every major patch everybody's fleet gets jiggled, there's no logic to it
oh yeah if u bought them with real money theyre still there i thought u meant in game bought
yeah that's what I did, people would donate me whatever a particular ship cost
so far I've kept the vast majority of em, with some weird ones thrown in too
I think I have four vultures? when I only myself bought one?
I've lost plenty of em to be sure, I can't keep a fuckin corsair to save my life
every update it poofs
they added a snapping cargo grid now
I think last time I revisited it they'd JUST improved the QoL for maxlifts and atlases
was that before or after engineering
^me stepping outta the cargo ship the first time I moved stuff after the patch
oh yeah that's it, I checked back in last at the inception of engineering
right when it landed
theres two new systems now too
?
dunno havent been there
last time I visited there it was just a fuckoff huge asteroid belt and a station full of communists
when i played last it was before any new galaxies
yeah pyro is a ton of fun
so there's a thing you can do
there's several flavors of 'items'
and what I mean by that
some items you can interact with that go in your bags
some are like cargo boxes
theres a 222k cargo contract for it but people keep breaking the elevators so you cant finish the thing
but there's this rare class of item that will interact with the tractor
but you can't interact with it by hand, or snap it to a cargo grid
it's only manipulat-able with a tractor beam
but.
if you pick the stupid thing up, and put it in a ship, and fly it to your persistant hangar
it persists there forever til you move it
so it's essentially decor
pyro is chock full of the stuff
golden vases as tall as you are, all sorts of physical containers like cardboard boxes with the top open
i cant remember can you leave ur ship in hangar now or does it still get auto stored
goofy shit like oxygen tanks
boy I hope not, last time I played you could call a ship, get in it, move it out of the way of where the ships spawn when you send the elevator down
like out of collission distance but still on your hangar floor
and when you called up another ship, that one would go down then come back up in the same place
and you'd have both
so what you can do
is pull your vulture or prospector or whatever and set them out of the way
still no cargo loading
and when you login, all those ships are on your hangar floor right where you left em
and you can have all your quick go-to ships sitting on the hangar floor with space left to call something you don't use often
i think theyve changed how hangars work but idk
I thought it was super fuckin cool, you could move your ships aund on your hangar floor and have basically your whole fleet sitting on the pad when you entered your hangar or logged in
like a fleet of planes on a carrier deck
and, if you for whatever reason say hypothetically had ships blow up on your pad
(cuz you were cannibalizing them then blowing them up to dupe the guns and kit)
the wreckage like the fuselage or wings with the branding on them or whatever
you could tractor that out of the way against the walls and those persisted forever too
so you could 'decorate' the outer walls with parts of the superstructure of ships you'd blown up
make it look like mos eisley or something
that game truly is the only game I've ever played where you can log in, play for eight hours straight
accomplish absolutely fucking nothing
and enjoy every moment of it
cities are still a nasa computers game
heh that's when I knew I'd finally arrived to the big leagues with this pc I have
everything else just ran max refresh rate so I couldn't ever see it break a sweat
im sorry my poor 2060 but i need to buy some armor in a18 be strong
god I'd develop a complex about visiting cities if I was still on my 3070
even with a 4090, 14900kf, and 64 gigs of ram playing the game on an NVME bolted to the motherboard I'd still dip to like, 75-100fps in the worst parts of a18 and whoreville
but when I'd break atmo, max refresh like every other game
same
the tram in a18 I think was designed to physically burn out older cards to force artificial demand for new ones
it's all one big conspiracy
anyways all that to say, pyro is a ton of fun
all sorts of shit you can drag back to your hangar to decorate with, that nobody else knows how to get
which means you can sell them as exotic items
the music is truly fantastic out there too
oh my god the weird station ambience is still here
each system has its own warp music and pyro's is so tranquil and beautiful I actually stay seated at my pc when I warp between planets
plus, the major space stations in pyro each have live fire combat zones
so you can bind there, and go down to shoot and loot and scoot and if you're killed, welp, you respawn right there in-station
and the gear the enemies have is kickass, all sorts of red and black and silver or gold color palettes on armor that's otherwise commonplace anywhere else
scorched patina guns that have better stats than standard
flashlights that don't blind your night vision and lasers you can only see with night vision
oh yeah no more virtual station inventories
yeah you mean the mandatory gear kiosks right, no more pressing I and seeing local inv?
mhm
I actually liked that change
which honestly is probably a godsend for performance
oh shit get this
and i bought the wrong armor
so there's black sites in pyro
where you go to hunt an unironic fuckoff huge dune sandworm
I mean so big the thing when dead is like, five stories tall
laying on its side
anyways the places are all pvpve, they're live shooting sites you summon the thing at
the kicker is, it has med beds you can bind to
so when you die, you respawn there
on site
but, if you just exit to menu and log back in
you log back in either a. at your home city or b. at the closest station to the black site
what this means, is you shoot your way to the med beds and bind, then every death just means you're 100m from your corpse
and you can loot the place to your heart's content
then log to menu, log back in, bam you're back at your capitol or starlight service station
and when you want to go back, you just backspace
it's instant travel across star systems
oh and the planet itself is so fuckin hot you fry in a minute or two on the surface, even with the big astronaut suit
i wish i had ppl to SC with but my friends all think its a scam
and theyre not totally wrong
yeah I've given up trying too
even to the point of like, look you asses I have an account with a ship I will let you use, just sit down and log in
fine, don't completely reinvent what an online game can even be in the first place
cuz yea, they're not totally wrong, the fucking audacity CIG has in some of its actions still boils my blood to think about
the sheer fucking pricetag, to even ask for it in the first place, uuuugggggggg
but it's like okay, fine, just buy a $40 starter account and play the game to get the ships
yeah i had my stuff paid for by a suspiciously wealthy scalie
that's what any other game costs to get started
idk it's almost like some purist mentality
like muslims and alcohol without any of the religious repercussions
they get off on not playing star citizen
i mean i am actively playing the game right now
also is there a way to have all my station inventories moved to one station do u remember
yeah gimme a sec
I know it consolidates every update
to wherever you pick your home
every item in every station everywhere lands in your home city post update
according to game chat there is not a way to do that
there's always getting an 8 or 16scu box and filling that
but obviously what comes with that
oh what I was think of was, the freight elevator kiosk has a search function in its ui
not worth the effor im gonna be so real with you
and you can shift click and select as many items as you have showing on the kiosk then one click drag and drop them to a box
I am the king of kings when it comes to hoarding, I must have at least one of everything
so needless to say my home inventory's unironically sitting at like 70%
of eleventy brazilian scu total space
just pages of goofy shit like p4ar's '
cuz I knew a lil tricksy that removed the space limit on your backpack
so everything went home with me
hey man
unborn
just the way I like em
couldn't be prouder of em lol
how about your double jewels
still attached, thankfully
see the problem is all these libruls
they went onnnn and onnnnn about women's education
so now I can't find one dumb enough to stay with me
(lol)
so what did the engineering update actually roll out
I think I half heard or saw or something that most everyone was planetside? like there was a form of base building?
at least that's what I assumed they had rolled out and not engineering
ship has fuses and if they blow u have to replace
and a whole engineering screen in ships
oh so it's just ship components and those useless engineering terminals in big ships?
well, used to be useless I guess
that i know of but there might be more
I assumed incorrectly I guess that there was some form of player crafting now
or base building, or some reason why everyone was planet surface
and not specifically at a shooting site doing a new dungeon event
¯_(ツ)_/¯
if this fuckin video ever decides to finish generating I can log in and check, was thinkin about doin that anyway recently
but I'm like an hour committed generating 5 small videos then stitching them last frame to first frame to make one big cohesive one
and the generator simply doesn't care to move the progress bar when it works
im abt to go do some cargo stuff so
a word to the wise
commodity trading has its appeal because you can land and store your cargo ship
then use the commodity terminal to auto-load the cargo onto your ship
then you go where you go to sell it, land park store the ship again
and you can sell directly from the ship's cargo to commodity kiosk B
and never have to touch a single box
ur saying words and i have no idea what they mean
store cargo ship, find commodity terminal, buy and auto load
also i thought only hull C could do autoload
nah any ship stored at the place you're buying or selling from shows up in the commodity kiosk drop down menu
oh no im taking contracts
bookmark that site
it'll plan routes for you if you want to, and show you your investment costs as well as how much profit you stand to make if you deliver it
so downside risk and upside potential profit both
also
loadout manager for every ship in t he game
and where to find any piece of kit you want to install on it
without those two sites I wouldn't know a brazilianth of what I know about trading and outfitting
....does that female deer have antlers...
dont ask questions
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
trans
either that or it's superglued on
well I don't know if that's a vote for or a vote against, but you've definitely got one vote
is this positive or negative
don't get me wrong, dem curves doe
is this a normal reaction to-
but uh
nice pun

look,
antlers just make anything look hotter ok?
just look at louis from beastars
he's a beast
but it also looks like it's got the fur pattern of a cheetah
I guess it could be wearing the skin of its enemies, that might also explain the antlers
bit morbid, bit hot
ah, the return of the danger boner
weird
it's supposed to be referenced off of an actual doe
so my cargo is so big i can only do it two boxes at a time
i dont think im getting paid nearly enough for it
okay so final verdict
deer lady hot or not
O deer
oh shit, they gave me new horror helmets for being a subscriber
Yeah so uh the god emperor just told me to friggin cut that beast man up with my uh totally rad … chainsaw…….
the most fun I ever had in star citizen was getting these horror movie prop masks, building a convincingly torn up outfit around it
going to the hospital and almost overdosing on the free heroin
then going to the starport elevators and lying in wait for people to get on
crazy work
they'd turn around and I'm weaving all over the place jittering and shaking with a parasyte tentacle monster coming out of my nose and bursting through the glass of my helmet
I actually made one guy shriek so loud his mic clicked on and we all heard it hahahaha
you could copilot or gunner turret
super earth deployed their version of the chainswor-I mean defoliation tool for exactly that reason
that thing is so much fuckin fun to use but all it does is get you killed
quickly
Peak
I think I have em all now, I bought the fungal outbreak masks from the store for like, idk $4
and I've collected the hill horror scarecrow masks and the 2 horror movie props
one's a bleached skull and the other's that parasyte monster coming out of your mouth or nose
Genuinely I have no idea what you're referring to, what you posted just reminded me of reach
cutty black copilot seat actually has a use now
kind of
nope
I'm firmly firmly team cutty red
oh yeah that's right htat's what's on my fuckin ship lol
a manned turret with a ladder and seat and everything
what do you shoot?
light
and not the cool red kind
yeah i have a turret but the copilot seat handled power management along with the pilot seat
so most ppl just used it to troll the pilot
oh you meant th esecond seat behind yours derp
I always thought it was a shame there was no use for those, cuz of how the seat fits up into the second storey of the fuselage is a fuckin cool perspective
i think the idea behind it was pilot would tell co what pwr settings they wanted so they could focus on flying
fanciful idea, sure
but who tf is gonna sit there with spicy armpits doing nothing except moving a single power pip
cuz I think that's all the baseline black had to move with its original power plant
idk cause at that point u could get in the turret and be more useful
yep, victim of its own...idk what to eve ncall it
self defeating anyway
the corsair got the opposite so to speak
now, when there isn't a copilot in the seat, the guns get slaved to the pilot
it's got something like 2 5s and 4 4s or something ridiculous
corsair's prolly the ship I'm fondest of full stop, even if I don't fly it much
like if it were me, there, you bet your ass I'd be in one of those
it's the millenium falcon-est firefly-est ship they have
theres a headhunters gladius hanging out around baijini
Is this real
once suffered a teamwipe because a genius thought to use the defoliator INSIDE of a car
you can use the chainsaw INSIDE the vehicle
why did this never occur to me to try
I know what I'm doin the fuckin instant this video's out of the oven
Transgression?
WHY WOULD THEY LET YOU SWING IT lolllll
no
draw the deer pls
i begg
i need more art of the deeer
is it uh, is it the curves
you can stick your head out of the car and immediately swing it
is it the animal itself
yes
also deer are cute
it flows into one another well
I don't have to understand somethin to support someone else enjoying it but I've never wrapped my head around that larger question
(she likes to stand in front of cars and total their hood)
driving in my car
I am just not wired for it I suppose
for most normal people it's the 'anthro' part of 'anthro animal'
yeah but that ass looks like it'll bring a semi to a full stop
nothin's crashin anything
that guy from open season lmao
bruh
"she ran RIGHT in front of my truck"
-"sir you have an ass-print the size of a small child on your hood"
Love n affection
huh, so it's the animal itself that is the main/initial draw and then the character is proportioned to individual taste after
okay! can do
no the fact it looks like a person
thats really nice i love giving that
oh I got it backwards then
Human brain recognizing human characteristics on a humanoid pmuch. Some ppl express it as easily as fantasy and science fiction.
sure, I mean like I said I don't get it but then again I don't have to do I, it's (the proverbial you) your thing anyway
I don't even like the kiddie pool versions, like greenskins or incubi/succubi
I guess the elf ears are kinda cute but
And i suppose for others that think more of it characteristics of what the person can do that a human just doesn't have access to.
i think is the other way around?
oh you mean like, because they're part something else they can do a thing better than any human could type thing?
that tracks
you draw a human and add animal characteristics
^
ik this is kinda a dead horse but holy fuck expeditions are dead
Human+
thats what anthro means
anthropo=like human/humanoid
like why even add a currency you can't spend, it's almost condescending
i filled out the first map, could find players, normally i get at most one other person now
just have to solo em effectively
Less better depending on who is talking about it and more just a fact.
One could accomplish the same thing without any anthro splicing via magic or tech in these examples.
penances to finish
and pair that ^ matchmaking ordeal with the fact you've only played em twice so that means you're gonna be a headless chicken still learning where everything is
you turn around every thirty seconds and the whole team is fuckoff down the road cuz you didn't know it was time to move, or whatever
so you have to one man warcrime your way to that part of the map, by which time they've moved again
didn't strike me as fun
Or, something mire immediately understandable maybe: the imagination needed for superhero shit.
In my old portfolio
I called my anthro goat
Chimera
yah
from a traditional perspective you make a character anthro because you want to exaggurate an existing characteristic
like, a fox being sly (think the fox guy from Zootopia)
exaggerate
I did not wake up today expecting to learn about this topic, much less about the actual why of it in a way somebody with no wiring or inkling towards it cvould understand
ok bumfuck
It was 3 page of furry
Cockatrice>
3 page of sexual pose furry
wani go to dm knify
i wuld luv to see mor of ur art
STOP
MOROOON
I mean even when it's not some common adult stuff, plenty goes into the imagination for worldbuilding. Easy example could be something like Absolum's Mowlai people. They're essentially a race of frog people from a living jungle landmass thing that are particularly drenched in magic because a core of their development as living creatures is literally them placing their eggs in protected, magically dense pools of water. This not only gave them a profound affinity and sensitivity towards magic, but is also just literally taking the development of frogs, placing it into an anthro race and throwing it into a story and arranging those pieces together to make sense
i am often alike to him yes
british 
Or a scifi story where gene splicing has gotten so advanced that the theoretical is "real" and we got humans with modding done to them to give them additionap characteristics otherwise found in other earth species. The major difference in scifi though is that there is usually some care taken into bending science's measured limits to fit into a story.
Do we have humans running around with spliced genes to get...idk, cat night vision? No. But someone who consults experts or actually is one that writes and plays with these ideas can spin a tale for it that functionally can work.
@radiant sluice
WOAH
she might be my single coolest fursona
That just genuinely looks cool.
Did you draw that?
commissioned
Rare to see cool bug art.
i would love to draw but i dont draw very good
i write better
yeah! bugsonas are coool
when they're actual bugs and not dogs with antenna
yeah
Who made this? Would actually want to see if they have any other bug person art.
i wonder whatever happened to freddy
i think this was by @_starfish1 on X but they don't post much furry art, i know them personally though
i comm them a lot
If it exists on earth outside of humans, humans can probably make up something to "make" it human through art. We've been doing this as a species for fuck all.
I was about to ask why's he making the same face as the cop that David unloaded 500 shots into but then I remembered they are both trigger
True I guess
HOLY EDGERUNNERS REFERENCE
he unloaded at least a mag into the guy
Sphinx
But yeah, people make anthros of anything tbh.
I mean, there's tons of depictions of anthropomorphic stuff even before that. Nile valley civs are an entire thing that existed/exist
A centaur
Oh damn, I'll look that up
Or that one horse dreamy boy
yeah basically
Where its just a horse with human head
Unsure of some of the oldest possible art or stories but that's just a staple of human art, myth, etc that the species has moved with through all context.
You're not wrong...
We got human-faced spiders, spider-headed people uh
Wel thats deeply disconcerting now isnt it
junji ito:
Hell we got talking animals within divine politics
Cat battle
he probably had a checklist for all the godawful abominations he's made up
That are like
Bureaucrats
i remember the cat accordeon
You taking about me?
We got anthro rocks
Is it Hinduism that has like an elephant person God?
Fire boy and water girl
Yeah!
Shit we got living energy that sings but you'll go mad if you're exposed to it uh
Idk
We've had anime shadowstepping before anime ever existed.
Through something like some folk stories of basically afro-caribbean vampires
That can just literally appear in the shadow cast by a fucking lantern bug like
Humans have been recycling stories for an incredibly long time, even prior to written histories, destroyed and withheld ones, etc.
@zinc talon what u doin pimp
I bet there's a legend somewhere about some creature made out of eyelashes. Fuck it.
Porn server
That sounds kinda horrifying
yeah basically
No no, someone sent a link to a porn server
It's the warhammer community, you gotta expect everything
Hi Mort
Wait I can send images in this chat
you have a red name ye
Anyway bye, gotta go to work
Even bigger plink
Only now learning?
I only speak in general 😔
my condolences
but yeah

Bots
I had to check out discord 1 more time before I left for work lol
Sorry 😔
No problem, it was my own fault for curiosity
Pandoras box type shit
thats not the right one
its a cat, thats all the reasoning needed 
What if it isn't a cat
its a car
Garn47 car
I still like and the dread the idea of cell phone mimics. Some artist made them up on tumblr once in a series. Iirc I think they each had different feeding behaviors, each terrible to consider.
One bored directly into your shit through there. Some waited till you slept, etc.
I think there was one that basically copied voices through itself and then would fake call when it was time? I might be misremembering that because this was an ancient series of posts several years ago.
The overall concept of mimics is already fucked up since it's just taking the idea of an ambush predator that doesn't mind hunting humans that deliberately camos as human items made by humans. Free infiltration.
I once saw a mimic armour thing for dnd
Where you have to keep feeding it or it eats you
I remember there being a mimic that could only transform into objects
and it became a house maid
💀
That's nuts.
Maidic gf? 👀
And is extremely creepy to consider
Even the mimic is tapping into literal objectification on a psychosocial level to transform.
Also, wouldn't that be more properly just something closer to a changeling or whatever else? I guess broadly it's just shapeshifting but unless I'm missing something here mimics are supposed to be strictly predator monster things that exist and/or copy themselves as inanimate objects made by people.
mimics are supposed to be able to imprint and turn into a specific someone
Mimic toilet 😨
shapeshifters are more high fantasy wizardry I aint gotta splain shit it's magic
and skinwalkers from the native american mythos are the ones that can do what that blue girl did in those terrible x men movies
what do u know abt star citizen salvaging
I know I didn't like someone, and took their C2
and wrote a racial slur in the side of hteir hull with a salvage beam
and then reported them
it can be a lot of fun, it's like decompression therapy
me personally I like trawlers, the biggest of the 3 sizes
there's a couple ways you can go about it
the truly lazy way is to get a ship, grab it with your tractor
spin it as fast as you can then release it
and sit still while it rotates
also the vulture can only hold so much, like 13 in the hold plus another 13 in the hopper
so you don't need a ship bigger than whatever that amount is
if you have a c2 or something just pull it, park it right outside a pyro station
i have a cutty B
that'll do just fine
i love ping
good gauge of how big a ship you need
anyways get it, park it, eva back, get vulture, strip it, claim it, repeate
salvaging is a fun spin on like, unique minigames except this one has a full profession's nuance behind it
it's a good side hustle for when you're wanting to play and earn some money but don't want to really like, be more than 5 minutes from your home station
out in pyro there's no armistice anywhere so you can literally park it ten feet ooutside the hangar and hop back in before the doors close
nice, me too
well theres dedicated ships for salvaging but theyre like 2 mill each
nice to know I'm in good company
"you see, since you are using Hsword. Carapace should get a free hit on you since it has bad carapace damage so its not good"
that must have been like around obama's election time
damn
blade exposed
same kinda journalism as
man fuck this, this video still has not finished and I'm goin on like two and a half hours on a nasa tier machine for maybe five minutes of actual movement
i stg this ai stuff is so grabass terrible if I want to do anything I'm gonna have to code it myself
boy yall just hate anything at all to do with it huh
ai slop!
ai slop!
waste of electricity, the content is terrible, steals from real artists who put real effort and soul into their creations
its just stinky
I'm having to force myself to learn how to do it because I'm in the process of coding a game with a longtime friend of mine, and I'm making up for my shortcomings with computer code by being the guy who does the art direction and aesthetics and look/feel of thegame
and thankfully, I can have the AI pump out a hundred images and cherry pick what is actually worthwhile out of them
It's a massive waste of resources that's also fucking over large sects of the global economy and particularly consumer products I would like to buy mixed with the fact there's a very annoying subset of AI people who think it replaces the ability to actually create art from nothing.
the cherry picked art will still be dogshit lmfao
Always feels off
Lacks soul
yarp
you misunderstand, I produce the stuff, and take what I think passes the test to the rest of the tea
did you guys know that animations are server sided it's great
m
you use ai to generate art. is the ai generated art used in the game?
and once we have enough of a body of content for like, everything from towns to wizard robes to swords to the general style of the character and how they move
once we have enough of that
so it’s prototyping
we're going to commission somebody to make actual stuff
still gross but it’s not as bad
along the llines of what we've decided we like as a cohesive theme for the styling of thegame
@hard nexus
but still
poopshit
https://youtu.be/W6kwURf_plQ lore accurate haze and seven
god this is old
where’s the gif of this
well, if you can come up with an easier way to build an entire low fantasy world with separate biomes and towns and culture and clothing and and and and and
when u look into a mirror
while also managing a property company and oil investments
WE ARE THE SAME AGE
you let me know
yeah it’s called being creative
YOU FUCKING CHUD
bitch!
just be good, huh
that burster spawned right around the corner but i can't prove it
Concrete
why didn't I ask you sooner
Concrete now or I blow you
shitass modifier !!!!!!!!!!
Easier is not necessarily always good
like I said
If jawa don't post concrete I am gonna blow jelly
you tell me a faster way to put together content for a game while also having two full time jobs
What
Concrete now or I blow you
I don't understand how taking stylistic cues from a random number generator and then taking that to get actual stuff commissioned
sounds like yall hatin just to hate at that point
It's not a random number generator
which, fine, hate away
It's an aggregate of stolen creative assets from artists
the ai use is just stinky
If you got two jobs you got the money to pay an artist
money's never an issue
I want to make a game but there's no chance I'm using AI for that
Gonna make it like a job
the question is what do you want everything to look like
Like some kind of
everything everywhere
I use it to get an idea of what I want and then take that to someone with actual talent
You safe for now jelly
yall actin like the very act of pushing the generate button is something I'm gonna have to answer for when I get to the pearly gates
you might
If you need to use AI to have a basic concept of what you want I think you either lack imagination or creativity.
Yall talking about ai or smth
No, but don't be surprised if people pan your project if you admit you're using AI for it
People not being able to do research
Is crazy
again, yall feel free to feel how you feel
you could come up with a bulletpoint list
Like do you truly like you work if you gotta use ai to think for you
Nah imma shame ai user
Tf you mean you can't think
yeah I'm gettin dogpiled again for the sinful act of usin a random image generator to get stylistic cues on how I want a game I'm working on to look
It's quite clearly being forced into every aspect of people's lives as another way to consolidate funds to the rich and deny people that make actual art opportunities to make that art
So for like refrence?
and then taking that to an actual artist and getting the actual look and feel started
yep
I can live with that
Not everyone will agree
Then again a better refrence is taking every part of other game stylistic choice
And showing it to the artist whom you work with
yknow what for every single AI generated video or image yall don't look at
I'm gonna look at three
What artstyle are you getting inspired from?
just so when you think of me, you'll think 'oh god he's prolly looking at ** AI ** right now isn't he'
and I'll have darkened your day just a lil bit
Hello chat, how are we all doing
Hello Moth
Mpreg
I am vertical and I am breathing
I think the attitude of "what's the harm I'm only replacing part of the process with stolen garbage" will age like milk as AI seeps into everything
Heya Tongs, been a minute since I’ve seen you around. Hope you’ve been doing well :)
Now I am curious what type of game are your aiming and your inspiration?
you wouldnt generate a cat
I think you are skipping the brainstorming part
doin great feelin great pal, howzit w you
I was working 12 hours a day 6 days a week and I am not now, so I suppose it's better
prolly not, but I'd sure generate your mother
What’s the new controversy today
file size too big
yeah, I game
im-pressive
Didn’t this conversation happen before
"Okri watched a video and looked at pictures"
I'm ngl ledges scare the fuck outta me on scum still
Look at the industrial revolution. Powered machinery made production of all kinds much more efficient, but without proper regulation led us eventually to rigid 9-5 workdays, closing opportunities for people to work production jobs as more machines filled those roles, and lowering of quality of many things as now fewer wealthier people called the shots on how things were done and made
A regular supporting generative AI
ugliest piece of shit modifier
i hate it here
and my teammates dont know what interact means
great
I don't like ai in creative space
it is a thing, that has a use beyond actively and deliberately rotting your brain
Or in math
It's different from having it just do voice recognition or text summaries for sure
Is this like, sm2 version of lights out
The calculator powered by ai is still a doozy to me
I daresay the way I'm using it it's actually sparking thought and creating more creativity
but no, thing bad don't use thing don't post thing don't mention thing
I deal with this shit every day since I work with software. Stuff needs to be properly crafted by humans for the time being or else it's not going to work right
Auto dub from YouTube cross a line
Deeply ironic statements coming from someone who admitted they can't brainstorm so they use AI to do it for them
lol
it's not that deep man
I can push a button and look at a hundred different art styles whiule I eat my lunch
and say, yeah I like that one maybe the team will too
yeah if it was shit
The best way to use ai me think is like the one from ace combat 6 dlc from the journalist cutscenr
Yeah I have had to set up an AI generation system for work, we know what it does
tell me an easier way to facilitate that
i hope ur 40 series card burns down
yall actin like I'm somehow defending ai by using it like the tool it is
Just pay indians on fiver to make your whole game then, it's cheaper and easier isn't it?
might as well get mad at me for using a hammer
those are not at all similar
To be honest I'm not sure I'd trust you to work a hammer
I'll work your hammer if you keep that tone with me
Legitimately a dumbass wealthy boomer take if I've ever seen one
Oh damn, those are some rough hours, glad to hear you’re not having to work that much anymore
Again you are making a game that could be inspired by smth
You would smth that you like to inspired the artstyle
And then you dig deeper to whom inspired the inspiration
Then so on
lol I'm a boomer now too
Its the chewing gum metaphor
Lights out ain't even popular in DT, so it has to be shit
nah its great in dt
yall so mad at AI I wish I understood the why of it
Only when you subscribe to their world views
It lack depth mccloud explained it best
world views? again it's not that deep I'm looking at pictures while I eat lunch where are yall getting this
yknow what, I don't care
this here i just cant see past 30m
yall givin me indigestion
To be honest I simply think your lack of ability to find basic inspiration in anything and instead are outsourcing it to LLMs speaks to the quality of the product you're working on
This is part of the problem, younger folk will get to clean up the mess the older generation will leave by not taking shit like this seriously
For me ai frustrates me for a number reasons. The environmental impact it has, the sourcing on data it’s trained on, how people treat it like it can plausibly replace human jobs
how is pushing the generate button any different than watching lord of the rings for the same amount of time
humans made it? that's it?
It’s because of everything behind the button push
Aye, adds soul. Simple as.
The issue is they're going to push for it to do that before it's ready
They already are
Even then i don’t think it’s a good idea
And it does cost jobs. Without a plan on how those people will be supported, we should all hate this shit
Pretty much this extract from understanding of comics
so let's say we all decide yeah AI isn't worth it and we stop
yay, planet saved, life back to normal
what happens when china gets weapons-grade AI or even AGI
or russia
you think they're gonna be benevolent with it
This is good, like this
Without production or creative jobs, humans will be doing exclusively service industry work. Once they have those humanoid robots ready to go (which are already pretty close) that's over too
sure, valid, I'm haven't disagreed once with respect to any of the societal stuff
but answer the question
I think you're moving goalposts, that's what I think
And it'll be die or riot time for anyone that's not wealthy enough to own those things
you think stopping AI is gonna let things go back to the way they were
and maybe it will
until
oh boy
The only thing I think is that ai usage is lazy and products made with it aren't worth my money
If someone cared about the product they'd craft it
Wouldn't be hard to find inspiration for it
which begs the question
why you aren't also
if it's so easy and takes so little time
surely you should have passion projects as well
For what it’s worth, I enjoy creative writing a lot, and I draw when I have time for it
'when I have time'
I would like to pick up some swords and get into hema
sir I own two companies
and I'm trying to pack this in what little time I have
and I'm the bad guy here apparently
Wealthiest dude in zealot chat begs for a little sympathy lol
I wouldn't beg you to piss on me if I was on fire, buddy
You can half ass two things or you can whole ass one thing man
I’ve been told that the trick is making time for it in your schedule
I know it’s not easy, I’m constantly feeling overworked just with college shit
and here I sit, eating lunch, looking at pictures to get a feel for how I want the art direction to go moving forward
Considering most business owners don't do shit you should have plenty of time for your own projects 
finding the time
Jawa, someday you're gonna look back on this and realize just how hollow all that sounds
Thing about ai for me
It's stagnant you don't learn from it bc it's not your mistake
when you have actual context
So you can't grow
Better get back to the golf course 
I guess the way I see it, is that if you’re able to have time to talk on discord during lunch, you could also use that time to pursue the passion you have
I don't think I've lost respect for a regular here so fast in a long time lol
which I was doing til yall made it your primary concern to assume every part of my life
I shouldn't have even taken the bait and asked in good faith why yall have so much animosity towards AI in the first place
I’ve been trying to give good faith answers at least
is it too hard to make a bulletpoint list or find similar images online instead of generating them?
I pull inspiration from the stuff I get autistic hyperfixatations on 
I keep telling you ai is just a good way to get ref
Even if it’s just writing fan fiction or something
Like rn im writing a story set in World Of Darkness, I love the idea of Hunter: The Reckoning having people woefully misinformed in the business of being a hunter
what about asphyxiations
I think that would be a lot less enjoyable
Shark shark
yes
is there lore?
Lmfao my response got blocked
Its from ikea
Also I have a blahaj at home
aight same time next week then
I named it blaj mahal
I was thinking of a present I want to get my gf
and she likes plushes
maybe the shark?
i want a djunkelskong or however you spell it
Ima be real doc, you can say whatever you want. But I feel like anything you tell them is gonna go in one ear and out the other.
get her the newly revealed dracovish
It’s like trying to convince someone from the older generation
These are my 2 favorite plushes I own
They’re entrenched in their ideas
but it learns fishious rend...
corpo'd up my headphones..
Shark isn't a bad idea. Any other ideas though? Does she like any anime or webseries? A plushie of that is good too
perfect timing
Accord worshipper
adventure time
get her a big jake
yk the long ass cat plushes
there's probably one that's like jake
Woaw...
Marceline plush?
that's gay
Where?!?!?!?!

I love how the mention of lesbians summoned jelly

Why I aughta… im gonna say something very mean to you except I would probably get banned so I won’t

Yeah
stinky
With context clues you can guess what i want to say
You know
I call you it daily
Woaw...
Buddy you’re on smth today
Mmmph
y'all missing out on dt modding they be droppin the hard r in there
and I'm not even exaggerating
I believe it
That place is like
Maximum security for the criminally insane
Who couldn’t be quarantined off here
Like that mf speaking in binary
I left
Everyone there is some kind of banned
I mid

You don't need to be unhinged to mod Darktide
But it sure helps
I will not say it
You get to watch all the species of mentally unwell congregate in one spot

I don't think you could pay me to use DT modding cord

Ask your father to man idk

Would you rather get paper cut all over your body and get dip in lemon juice
Or be me
Ey wom
yo
Bye yom
Im in there because I wanted to be amused by bad takes, only to realize it’s fucking boring in there
Oh btw tong
You gotta come by at night
Unhinged is still something i can be baffled and shocked by
@deft badge
Yeah, sometimes, why
Fantasy setting right?
Yeah, you could say that
knify has a dnd setting that's paraplegic exclusive
don't tell him anything he'll turn your favorite character into a cripple
and don't say I didn't warn you
This mf paid me in bobux for a wheelchair bound kobold
So an alligator in a wheelchair
Renaissance era tbh, it originally started as a dnd setting and eventually I went "I could just make an entire game system" so I've been basing a lot of it off D100 Degrees of Success systems
Big focus on "the arts" and how they bring magic into the world
Like the equivalent of a summoner is a sculptor and their sculptures
And that
That's how you steal inspiration
You ask people
But yeah what's your inspiration
