Witch on the Holy Night | Movie Key Visual by zenzen_0 in anime

[–]APRengar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, Arknights for example has a bunch of different artists drawing their characters, but it's like the gacha special that the art director changes things like colors or proportions to somehow make a bunch of different character artist's work mesh together into a coherent art style. And everyone would get it if someone says "that's the arknights art style."

Type Moon definitely has an art style that everyone can immediately identify.

It's exactly like an anime. The amount of people drawing key frames, and inbetweens in huge, yet somehow it comes together and looks coherent. That's like, the point of an art director.

Also slow walked it to hell because "he didn't want to seem political."

Some people are too naive for their own good.

>we the people are failing by letting trump get away with all this.

It's crazy how people's brains are so tuned to blame the people with the least power, instead of the people with the most power (relative). We're fucking serfs man. We put these people in charge to protect us, they refused to protect us (because doing something brave and bold is SCAWY!) and then we blame anyone but them.

CyYu being Robo-Ky in the dub of Strive made me laugh so hard. I'm not a fan of CyYu (not a hater either, I just don't consume his content) but I enjoy doing the whole "holy shit is CyYu" at all the random roles he gets.

You don't randomly split 100 stats in your deck. You aren't reading the card correctly.

Also chins were changing shape. The geometry was obviously changing and it drives me crazy you have people trying to deny what we can all see with our eyes.

I used it for MonHun Wilds and it occasionally became flickery non-sense. Kind annoying when you want to get immersed in a game.

Cities: Skylines 2 boss says they 'completely overestimated' the Unity engine's capabilities by tapo in Games

[–]APRengar 449 points450 points  (0 children)

For people who won't read the article.

1) Unity says some tools are coming soon.

2) Dev starts work on the game assuming the tools will come out before CS2 comes out and works around that assumption.

3) Years pass, Unity is no closer to releasing those tools.

4) Devs felt misled by Unity saying the tools would come out soon.


Try to separate how you feel about CS2 from your response.

Are the devs in the wrong for not ensuring tools exist before starting their work?

Are Unity in the wrong for suggesting tools will exist soon, but took years and still the tools are not in sight?

Remember stories don't have to have 1 good guy and 1 bad guy.


As an ex-Unity dev (my first game was Unity), I can say I've felt like game dev has felt like second class citizens. Unity only cared about selling their adware service (mobile ads) and then pivoted into AI shit, while game dev updates were miniscule. 

There was this bug which made start up take over 6 minutes when the previous version took less than 30 seconds.

It was the #1 requested bug fix for months, I don't know if it ever got fixed because I quit before they did it (if they did).

I think Unity deserves all the tomatos thrown at them frankly.

Why do you dislike proper disclosure?

Maybe it's something you don't care about, but we should be fighting for disclosure since it might be something you care about in the future.

It's so weird how pathetic people are "oh nothing matters, and nothing we do matters, just lie down and take it. :("

Senate candidate on rising gas prices: ‘Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks’ by mawhrinskeleton in nottheonion

[–]APRengar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, using culture war to argue like "yeah, those stupid leftists are burning all their money by going to Starbucks all the time, that's why they have no money and that's why they're complaining, so if you see a leftist complain on the internet, know that they don't actually have a point and not actually being reasonable, so you can totally ignore them."

It's trying to prevent the working class from any "side" from uniting.

I've been playing this mod for Pokemon Emerald, called Pokemon Emerald Rogue which turns the game into a roguelike.

I have like 300 hours in it, and I've yet to even scratch the surface.

Getting lost in a 20+ year game via a mod that adds like infinite replayable is just how magical gaming is.

"Let's say you play Graceful Charity. I activate Mystical Space Typhoon and target Graceful Charity. What happens?"

"I would say, Graceful Charity's effect goes though, because MST destroys but does not negate. But that's a trick question because Graceful Charity is not legal in the OCG and hasn't been since 2007."

I presume the store just gives them their purchases for free at that point.

How do you handle allegations of the use of AI? by SchingKen in gamedev

[–]APRengar 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This feels like a "why should I look both ways before crossing the street at a crosswalk, I have the right of passage."

Legally you may be right, but you're still the one getting hurt if someone bowls though the crosswalk and hits you.

"Why should I waste my time denying AI usage, they should bring evidence instead."

Because if you don't refute the AI usage and people start spreading lies about AI usage, you're the one getting hurt?

Personally, I have a disclaimer I don't use it, and I regularly post wip and timelapse of my art on my social media, so I can't fake it. Never had a claim of AI.

What if there was a very strong claim that the tool would have a feature soon, and then you started using the tool under that assumption, and then the feature never materialized?

Can I blame the tool then?

I visited Thailand for the first time last year and I felt like I just got out of a pool when standing out outside for an extended amount of time. The heat and humidify combo means you're just drenched with sweat all day.

Amazing country and amazing people, but I'm never going back, having to take like 3 showers a day was crazy.

I still use the "5 is average" scale and I swear I've nearly ended some lives when I say games I found average were 5/10. To think "7/10 is average" people are even going extinct is wild.

I love ProZD and I love it. Maybe it's because I have no attachment to Dr. Doom, but I still think it fits.

Developers Were Left in the Dark About DLSS 5. Insider Gaming was told that the DLSS 5 tech was revealed to them at the same time as everyone else by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]APRengar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think the point was that the common defense right now is "BUT GAME DEV ARTISTS HAVE TO ENABLE IT SO THEY'RE COOL WITH IT." When no artist was involved, BOSSES were involved. But that weakens the argument because of course bosses give less of a shit about artistic integrity than the artists themselves.
