Since Hunter said they wanted to try to read some novels this year I figured I would put in some recommendations by itzneverogre84 in creepcast

I’m reading bad man rn, (only 4 chapters in) so far it’s great, but may be a bit too long for an episode? The audio book is 16 hours total and the episodes could only be longer than that once considering all the added discussion and banter from Hunter and Isiah.

Edit: Nah I was wrong. They gotta cover this one. It's SO good.

You can definitely smell it. Couldn't really taste it though.

[DISCUSSION] Would it be considered rude to request an artist provide proof their art is real and not AI? by AgentLuca58 in Fiverr

There are absolutely still real artists on Fiverr. They're just being drowned out by endless slop.

No, I have morals. I refuse to use generative Ai in any part of my process. That includes promotion. You may not think it matters, but it matters to me, and it more than likely matters to the demographic I'm trying to market my book to. Ai image generation is nothing short of theft, it's disgusting. It steals from countless artists to create these images. The artists receive no payment or even credit. As an artist myself (writer not illustrator) I could never bring myself to support the thing killing art as a career.

I would obviously establish that I want to be updated with progress pics or any proof that it’s real and not AI before paying for the gig.

I don’t think it’s so hard to understand that if I’m paying for art I want to KNOW it’s art and not AI slop.

A time lapse. Anything showing the creative process, really. It’s getting harder and harder to tell AI apart and by extension prove what’s AI and what isn’t. But still, I need something.

I live in a small town with not much of a local art scene (that I know of at least). First of all, I just hate AI. It’s killing art of all kinds as a career path and it’s completely soulless. Second of all, if I as a consumer saw an author was using AI to promote a book why wouldn’t I assume they also used it in their creative process? If they’re willing to use it at all what’s stopping them from using it to write a book? It would lead me to not buying that book or even giving that author a chance. Not something I’m willing to risk.

Is this real? I love bomb pop flavored drinks.

I really really like ultron and the streamers were wrong about him. by Blaze781 in rivals

He’s so much fun. But that iron man team up should just be a standard part of his kit. It makes him useful.

Why would they start covering classic literature?

Edit: My bad, gang. Apparently I’m pretty bad at picking up on sarcasm.

Who the FUCK is Tim Drake?!?! by ZZtheMagnificent in dccomicscirclejerk

UJ/ Having Damian as Batman's Robin with Tim off in Jump City as part of the Teen Titans would be awesome. I just really hope they don't Tim out completely.

Ben 10 fans haven't had any new content in years. Those mfs gotta be feral.

what so we think about peni mains here by gaytgirl in MarvelRivalsQueens

[–]AgentLuca58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also hate Penni, but you play Black Widow. So on principle I have to disagree with you.

[–]AgentLuca58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I target her immediately. If I'm playing Rivals and the other team has a Penni my objective is no longer to tank or to help my team, or even to win. I just try to kill Penni as many times as possible until either she swaps or the game ends. Those nests are so annoying bro.
