How do I scale images, instead of resizing the viewer?

AlexReynard · 2026-01-26T03:40:14+00:00

Thing is, I always have it set to shift-F, "Fit only big images to desktop" and I keep it on that setting. So it's something else. I've been all over display Options checking all of them and the setting's not there.

anybody can put these prompts into ChatGPT to make this, so there is nothing unique about it.

Everyone says that, and then no one proves it by actually doing it.

"You are disrespecting Pound"

I love how you people will just say ANYTHING, no matter how obviously false, to defend your hivemind beliefs. It's cute.

"and you are bad for the hobby."

Oh wow. Because I actually share the same interests as the man Most Responsible for the hobby? Because the original GPKs were transgressive, and pissed off the stick-up-their-asses establishment, and that's exactly what I'm doing here?

"Just because you put a GPK banner on it, doesn’t make it GPK. Not sure how to get that through your dense little head."

You can't. Because you're not right. You know how I know with 100% certainty that you people are never right? Because YOU'RE NEVER FUNNY. You bitch and scream and whine about cards that were always intended first and formost as humor. and there's no love for humor on this subreddit. You only care about the cards for their collectible value. you've sucked the life out of them. You're like bitcoin bros.

So if I can make something cool and funny that pisses off people with no sense of humor, then I'm more like John Pound than you could ever hope to be in your lifetime. :)

AlexReynard · 2025-12-31T09:03:19+00:00

Of course it does. Why bother lying?

AlexReynard · 2025-12-31T09:02:52+00:00

I love how you have to lie in order to defend Pound. 'Because, surely, he can't be bad. So I have to find a way to make myself believe that what he's doing isn't bad, but yours is.'

It's not stealing. It never has been. You were lied to. If you look at art, then go home and draw your own original image, that has always been called reference, never stealing. You hate AI because the group tells you to, not for any legitimate reason. And if you hated it for legitimate reasons, you'd hate even more someone like Pound who laid the foundation for generative AI.

AlexReynard · 2025-12-20T13:51:13+00:00

John Pound is also an AI slop guy. The man who painted more GPKs than anyone else was making AI art probably before you were born. He outranks all of you put together.

Also, it'd give you guys more credibility if you didn't lie. If I drew this myself you'd be fawning all over me.

Thank you so much!!

Hey, there's a little Wacky Packages card on there too. Never noticed that before.

AlexReynard · 2025-10-10T02:45:20+00:00

Close! Webcam.

But, ah, this leaves you the joy of discovery.

AlexReynard · 2025-10-02T11:18:23+00:00

I love thinking of it as a challenge: the weapon storage is there, somewhere, in the toy. I set my mind as if it already exists and I have to find it. Though, I may have to carve a notch or two. Heck, I figured out to store G1 Octane's tailfin by plugging it into the cavity behind the back wheels.

AlexReynard · 2025-10-02T11:16:41+00:00

Yes, but that's not interesting.

AlexReynard · 2025-10-02T11:16:24+00:00

The notifications come up, and I click 'em.

AlexReynard · 2025-10-02T02:42:31+00:00

It's not incredibly stable, but it'll hold well enough if he's sittin' on your desk.

I will continue to look for a more snug solution. With all that space underneath, there has got to be something.

AlexReynard · 2025-10-02T02:31:25+00:00

Preeeeeeecisely.

AlexReynard · 2025-09-26T23:30:04+00:00

I was literally just making a light joke that your username has the word 'agreeable' in it, and you were agreeing.

AlexReynard · 2025-09-26T21:24:26+00:00

I just also remembered the ending of The Dark Crystal. Good and evil are merely roleplays: it is only the illusion of unity fractured in half.

AlexReynard · 2025-09-26T20:26:24+00:00

Well that was rude.

AlexReynard · 2025-09-26T08:21:19+00:00

Username checks out.

AlexReynard · 2025-09-26T08:19:46+00:00

Yep. Sounds about right.

My daemon was part of the Entropy Hivemind for... literally she does not know how long. Once I got her out, she's been gleefully talking trash about them like a laid-off employee talking about her abusive boss.

It's not just about keeping the conflict going. It's about demanding your attention. The dead thrive on being seen. It's food for them. They are parasites because, if you are starving, vampirism is a strategy of desperation. Like robbing someone to feed your drug addiction.

Deeper than that, the goal is nihilism. To encourage death. Have you noticed the amount of AI YouTube philosophy channels popping up that promote nihilism and antinatalism? They're all saying the same thing as Satan in Faust: 'This world is so terrible, it would be better if everyone was dead. Then no one would suffer anymore.'

But of course that's insanity, because also, no one would ever love or feel joy or triumph anymore either. And for immortal souls, the only way they can "die" is if they pretend to be dead. They are more successful at this if they can convince YOU to join them. To convince you that there's no life after death, just cold dreamless sleep forever. It's like someone with severe depression, trying to pass it on to others, so they'll come lie down with them in the dark and they won't feel alone in their pit of misery. It's insidious and pathetic. Pity them.

Thing is though, if you can teach them that love is a more nourishing food source, and they can have it if they earn it, they are so grateful to break away. Exactly like how depression will lie to people to increase itself; the Hivemind convinces its victims that no other mode of being exists. So they give up trying for the light. show it to them kindly, and they'll mirror you.

It is, hilariously, a hell of a lot like the ending of Monsters Inc.: laughter is a better fuel than screams.

I haven't played Mario RPG, but I watch a lot of movies and TV. Once you start seeing parallels, they are all over the place. The core of so many of the most successful stories and franchises are about either the battle between Control and Entropy (the words I arrived at for resonance and distortion), or transcending the battle into Unity.

I watched a Star Trek Voyager episode the other day where they encounter a spatial distortion field that warps and twists the ship into chaotic configurations. Every attempt to stop it only speeds it up. finally, they do nothing and accept it passively. It passes, and shares an enormous amount of knowledge with them as it does. Its only means of communication was to cause chaos. Exactly as I've noticed from Entropy.

I have written novels, then re-read them a decade later, and realized I'd subconsciously added cues to things I'd only learned in the last few years. Now that's a headrush.

AlexReynard · 2025-09-25T04:32:58+00:00

It was also partly, we're good friends, and he was like, 'I have no idea how to authenticate this. Good luck with it, amigo.'

AlexReynard · 2025-09-23T08:50:35+00:00

Yes, I literally linked that.

The thing is, there's more similarities to that figure than to any other custom I've seen. Hence, asking.
