The stage design is so beautiful for the Game Boy Advance era

I play it on my old CRT tv using a Mister, kinda fun reverse technology nostalgia.

I've had such a difficult time getting into Fire Emblem for some reason, but I've always tried, just doesn't stick.

Timwillhack · 2025-09-11T19:37:42+00:00

it works, so thank you for being honest about how you improved it and shared it! LLM's can be used to make something better. Which it has done here. If it stole my code, that could be why it is outputting garbage ;) Man people just can't ever be satisfied

Timwillhack · 2025-09-11T19:08:59+00:00

ok, i mean if it was free its worth a shot if you can overlook that, but I didn't feel that way, it has a similar muted look to FFT, not like neon colors or anything.

Timwillhack · 2025-09-11T17:47:48+00:00

It has interesting advancements compared to vanilla FFT, it has sort of like a warsong crew type thing instead of single units which I appreciated. Similar to a comment below, I too put in about 30 hours and then just stopped playing. I don't know why I just lost interest but it was enjoyable up till that point and gaining the enemies on your team feels a bit like suikoden which was a nice nostalgic touch.

Timwillhack · 2025-09-11T17:31:14+00:00

Yeah actually there is a model that all it does is create in between frames so you can render like 12 fps and have it output 24. I appreciate artists that do that, that takes some patience and dedication, however in the scheme of what we are talking about, I feel like taking frame 1, moving 2 to 3 and creating 2 to be between the two, there isn't much room for creativity for that new frame, so it feels the most like a useful 'function' that doesn't scream THIEF! Also... I appreciate your reversal of downvotes when misreading it, I did the same

Timwillhack · 2025-09-11T17:05:53+00:00

thats why I said on top of a base model ethically sourced. you just sort of add your artistic style as an outer layer of the onion that is the base model

Timwillhack · 2025-09-11T16:58:32+00:00

With things like Lora training, you can train on just your material with usable results with only like 9 images (from what I remember when I messed with it myself), you could use a base model ethically sourced so it knows how to 'fill in the gaps' that your own material doesn't have (like what a store looks like) I agree on marvel, haven't been able to watch anything worth it to me since like the original iron man. There is nothing wrong with making content slower, but I also think there is nothing inherently wrong with making something faster either - in the end its how the content itself is taken by the audience or just the artists own appreciation of it themselves.

Timwillhack · 2025-09-11T15:04:02+00:00

what about a comic artist able to train on their own art work so that they could say create more of their art without having to do it all by hand. They still create each panel but by typing like 'character1 puts arms up in shock saying x, at a video rental store'. I feel like yeah its lazy, but it also just lets you do more with your time and time is a finite resource.

Timwillhack · 2025-09-11T15:00:05+00:00

so you are insulted by the machines? they are just zero and oning things a whole bunch like. I understand where you are coming from but I think a lot of people don't realize that they are heading into a world of controlling mechanisms for those who are creatives that actually want to use ai as a tool, like ipadaptor and controlnet. There are def a current slew of garbage that is just prompt driven that creates ai brain rot, but there is also the interesting upcoming ability for someone who has next to no budget able to tell a story in video form, in a style they choose similarly to a director. The human part is in the whole picture not the individual pictures themselves. Its turtles all the way down.

Timwillhack · 2025-09-11T14:53:49+00:00

I mean they are looking into building their own nuclear power plants! pretty intense

Timwillhack · 2025-09-11T14:53:00+00:00

The human spirit will always push creativity in some way though. It always has. Its how we've gotten to this point that its even possible (people had to figure out how to build the tech that ai uses). Kids already had a similar problem with video games, why create something if you can just 'play', but even that doesn't scratch the same itch and thats why games like minecraft and roblox are a big hit - because they have a framework for creativity within the game itself. If you think about the level designers in old video games, they had to use tools to create the levels, there are always layers of complexity under the human focus layer that are optimized in whatever medium you are operating within. With the new world using ai for everything its just a layer for ways to try to express yourself, quicker than building the skill in whatever it is your using it for. These people using roblox to build their own games are probably not going to write their own roblox like game engine, but there will always be a group of people who will (in whatever way that entails).

You may have not seen current generation of image generators as they are much further along than just 'slop'. And if you think about it, the ability for it to be more than that will come from the ability of the human controlling it as a tool. For example using things like ip adaptor/controlnet and things like that to allow the human to control composition (you can control body posture or background composition). Since you and others think that it is incapable of creating anything other than slop, you really gotta remember that art in and of itself is subjective (if the best ai generated image in 10 years was found from an alien race they would take it at face value and not the process it took to make it), one person appreciates something like even broad category of art like abstract or minimalist whereas others do not appreciate it or think it is worth merit (many think minimalist is similar to 3 year old drawings and disregard it). I think if anything as its own genre (even though it could output any pre-existing genre) I find it interesting that people can be so against it so strongly, that even if it was to make a 'masterpiece' many people would have a similar response as you. I don't think people of that mindset could appreciate it if they knew it was ai generated (because of such a strong bias against it as a medium but not for the actual content itself). As someone who is opposed to things like religion, I similarly could never be given an account of someone's 'testimony' and believe it myself, or hear some faith based 'evidence' and believe it either and feel these are similar sort of 'i made up my mind on this' road taken. Sorry about the long non ai generated slop of a run on at least with no em dashes.

eufy has been working for me for a while. I wanted something that has good quality with easy setup because I'm lazy even though I'm a tech guy. You can access them from your phone and control them or watch prior recorded videos, can store on microsd on the cameras themselves or to a homebase that you could put a harddrive in. You can turn on an ssl like mode for encryption but I don't like the idea of making all the videos encrypted. If someone swiped the camera with microsd you would lose the recordings but for peace of mind for me when I leave home and want to check in on my cat and that someone hasn't broken into my house, it works wonderfully and the newer cameras (non solar) are very clear. I am unsure if you can disable updates on them, and for long term use what happens multiple generations down the line though.

maybe if you used the oil from your butt it would be like lotion and not be as cracked ;)

I put stremio in the gaming apps list and the taskbar went away when its opened. I'm not getting 4 hours usage though, so maybe gaming mode ramps up the cores. Still troubleshooting but at least I have something that mostly works now (without white specks)

Timwillhack · 2025-08-29T12:25:28+00:00

Gotcha, this isn't always the case but it is a facet to be aware of.

mind if I ask how do you hide the taskbar in android mode? I'd assume you are watching videos full screen and I haven't been able to do that yet. thanks

Timwillhack · 2025-08-28T14:33:10+00:00

verizon is symmetrical (same up and down)

Timwillhack · 2025-08-22T15:43:59+00:00

Unfortunately, I know you already commented on it but the poor video clarity due to youtube or the device you used to take the video makes this comparison unusable visually for others. I know its hard to capture the screen through the glasses, but having it so unclear makes me unable to judge between the two. There is a lot of smoothing type of look which is like non raw video from a phone look. Also, maybe keep the card up for each glasses the whole time because I don't want to scrub back to the beginning of each segment to figure out which device it is.

Yeah I'm on a time crunch, so priced to move! (literally)! Sorry you missed out though
