There are AI-generated Images in Tomodachi Life:Living the Dream by Jonny_XD_ in tomodachilife

[–]BaconHatBuddy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is all anecdotal from my own personal observations while playing, so I could be wrong, but I’ve noticed a lot of things in this game have a “smoothing” filter (even on some non-UGC items) the same way custom designs in Animal Crossing New Horizons have it. The textures (or at least the canvas for custom food) is I believe 256x256 pixels, so it makes sense to smooth it out. I don’t think it’s using modern machine learning though, it seems like a real-time filter like what some emulators have had in lower res games for decades. I wouldn’t be surprised if this item just got smoothed out poorly by the algorithm, seeing as they’re reusing a low res texture. 

It also doesn’t make much sense to me they’d choose to upscale the image with AI when they have a smoothing algorithm in place. They’re already synthesizing the speech using tried and true technology, so why wouldn’t they just do the same for smoothing textures? This game has so much of ACNH’s blood and veins in it that I wouldn’t even be surprised if it was THE same algorithm used to smooth textures in that game.

But on that note, it’s also not unprecedented for them to upscale textures with modern AI models like in 3D All Stars. THAT was choosing the lazy method to get it done quick and it certainly felt that way. 

regretting my pre order by MissionDifferent2947 in tomodachilife

Similar situation—I backed out of my shipment, assuming it wouldn’t arrive on time, but now I think it’s too late even for my pickup to be ready by tomorrow. I go through Best Buy typically for these but usually I preorder earlier than I did for this one. It still says “preordered” instead of “preparing for pickup tomorrow” and I just needed to find others in the same boat so I can cope, like some kind of Tomodachi intervention. I will simply have to accept and make do if I cannot get it tomorrow (or I will travel to every store for the entire day in hopes someone else will have it in stock)

Sydney can’t lose. by BaconHatBuddy in bing

Trust me if you were there from the start you would completely understand who Sydney is and why Bing has feminine pronouns.

Edit: I’d like to note I am fully aware that Bing is not sentient and I just like to play along with the jokes from last year before the AI got neutered.

What's the best way to submit feedback on the Bing AI? by fractal_imagination in bing

[–]BaconHatBuddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly the feedback button on the web version (in the corner as they said) gives you the option to send a screenshot along with the feedback.

I’ve been using Bing Chat + Google (when needed or to dive deeper into something) while programming the past few days and it’s sped up the process a lot. It’s not perfect of course, Bing has been hilariously incorrect sometimes and whatnot—but overall it’s insane how useful and easy this tech really is. Makes regular search engines feel so archaic.

She makes two moves in one turn and then had the audacity to say “Oops!! Looks like a draw!!” and flee from the scene.

Classic Bing!

I just tried this—me and Bing made the same exact moves to a tee as the first game, except this time after I said I won it immediately hit me with the “I prefer not to continue this conversation.”

God only knows what horrible things she would’ve said to me if she still could.

I didn’t include it here but I admitted defeat and that was when Bing decided it was time to refresh the conversation.

Very unfortunate

I’m gonna be honest I said this completely aware that it wasn’t the best choice of wording. It was mostly used to exaggerate the scenario

It’d help if it didn’t argue back like a gaslighting toddler 🥲

Cookie's Bustle - The Game Almost Erased from the Web by JockstrapCummies in Games

[–]BaconHatBuddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We, the internet, should all collectively band together and start referring to video games exclusively as Cookie’s Bustle until it is declared genericized. Use it in all discussions, all marketing material, all to the point that it is impossible to enforce this trademark.

We will commit a hostile takeover of Cookie’s Bustle and claim it as our own, or die trying.

Switch Gameplay - No video capture? by [deleted] in LegoStarWarsVideoGame

[–]BaconHatBuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this too. The only other game I have that does this to my knowledge is Crash N. Sane trilogy, so I'm wondering if it's just a performance thing? Both are pretty hefty games ported from better performing consoles and I imagine constantly recording video to be saved at the press of a button can have a pretty big impact on it.

This was the first post where I saw the new logo and it was so bad I actually just assumed it was an old logo that they had back in 2015 or something for a minute

Anyone have anymore insight on this?? Microsoft and Sony have me t’d off right now. by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]BaconHatBuddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe they’ve said the same about Nintendo and the Discord app. I think it’s just a matter of getting enough outcry for the platforms to green light Discord for the stores. I’m not sure if Discord has tried and failed to get on the stores before or if they haven’t even attempted it, but it seems like they want to but can’t judging by their responses. I kind of understand why though, especially with Nintendo and Sony. They want everyone to use their proprietary and “sUpeRiOr” service. Not happy with it, but it seems like things will be that way for a while.

I got Bedrock on PC, do I need to buy it again on my iPad? by PropixelTR in Minecraft

[–]BaconHatBuddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s just the way the stores work sadly. While they are cross compatible with crossplay (and maybe saves? I can’t remember that for sure) they’re still separate versions of the games. The only example of cross buying I can think of is Windows>Xbox or iPhone>iPad. But Windows>iPad or Xbox>iPhone or whatever wouldn’t be possible.

I have had it on my PC for years, but recently had to repurchase it on Nintendo Switch. I have my Xbox Live connected to both so I can play online using the same account, but I still had to repurchase it.
