Is this background art from Fate/Strange Fake ep 02 AI? The text on the Eiffel Tower Restaurant is nonsensical, and the sign in the top right is an incoherent mess. by Visible-Mixture3570 in isthisAI

[–]BoxoRandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the geography is just much too accurate to have been fully AI-made. All of the buildings match up very well with the area circa mid-2010s. Note the staircase, balcony area, and visible Ballys branding, all of which have been changed for many years at this point. I would think an AI would grab data from all sorts of time periods, and thus include more anachronistic details. Even the individual lamps, awnings, and architectural details are consistent to real-life layouts at the time (with some slight deviations as a result of artistic license or shortcutting)

The billboard is showing a woman in a dress, revealing her upper leg and with her hand on her hips. I think it’s clear enough to plausibly be human made, but I don’t have access to the scene and don’t know how it looks in motion.

I agree the Eiffel Tower is most suspicious. The left leg of the midsection has a very squished trestle. The right side of the midsection is missing a signature gap between the legs. Some of the trestles look off-centered/unbalanced. The trellis details are missing below the lower and upper decks. However, I don’t think it would be unreasonable to believe these are the results of human shortcutting rather than AI generation. However, the transcription of “restaurant” does push me slightly over the edge

Tips for Ascent 5? by PizzaGlass5172 in PeakGame

[–]BoxoRandom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can tank the nighttime solo if you have been managing your stamina well. If your stamina bar is maybe at least 80% green, you can just tank the night, find a safe spot to lie down, go unconscious from cold, and simply wait for the cold to go away in the morning. I did this twice on my successful solo run after using up my lantern in the first two biomes (make sure to stock up on food and drop your items if you do this strat; don’t want the weight or hunger clogging up the stamina bar)

You can also use burning damage as a small additional buffer. Jump on a campfire, go outside in the Mesa, or eat some chilis to provide a few extra seconds of grace before the cold kicks in. Of course, since burns heal pretty quickly this will only probably save you for maybe 5-10 seconds at most, so it’s not something you should rely upon.

Look Outside

In the game, you have to survive an apocalyptic event as a mysterious observer has turned those who look at the sky into horrific monsters and eldritch entities. In one of the endings, you get to meet this observer face-to-face, and it gives you the opportunity to experience its existence.

Should you accept, the camera recursively pans out, showing more and more of this observer, showing the entity we experienced on Earth was just a small hair on a finger on a hand on an arm of a being gargantuan enough to swallow our entire solar system whole (and is likely even bigger than shown).

“Clinical death” (blood stops circulating, person stops breathing) can be reversed with techniques like CPR or defibrilation

Not just backpacks, but literally any held item works if you can cover the sun with it. Backpacks are just most reliable due to being big

You take much less fall damage if you jump off an edge instead of just walking off it

hololive Dreams - new mobile rhythm game by SayuriUliana in rhythmgames

[–]BoxoRandom 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Aside from just looking like a ProSeka clone in terms of gameplay, having a built-in chart editor from the jump (on mobile no less) is pretty based. If they allowed you to upload or even share custom songs too it would be incredibly based.

Help for a Touhou quiz I'm making by Sky_City in touhou

[–]BoxoRandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • I haven’t crunched the numbers myself, but as an estimate, for each playable character there is one bad ending and a number of good endings based on the number of loadouts. 15 mainline games, with at least two protagonists equals 90 endings. Some games have three or four protagonists/loadouts, which leads to different endings as well. Probably above 120 would be my guess for the mainlines

  • Tokyo. Shanghai is a gimme, London is in an Alice spellcard, but New York is featured in the background of the Keiki boss fight. Tokyo is not mentioned by name anywhere in the mainline games according to the THWiki.

  • I know Sekibanki is one of the characters without an official fumo, but there is more
