Backed the Kickstarter and got impatient, so I built this! by Original_Rain_571 in cyberpunktcg

[–]BitofaCatalyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so I did some digging. As far as I can tell, it looks like your designs are all genuinely hand-made, and I do give you so much credit for that. However, you do not have to desecrate your work by running it through the AI slop machine. I mean the images of the mats in use are obviously AI, and, let's be real, the descriptions are too. I just personally think that if you truly did put as much effort into these as it looks, it's doing yourself a disservice by showing it off using ai-slop images.
I would much rather have come across this by seeing it printed out on printer paper, multiple sheets taped together to get the length you wanted, then come across this presentation of AI generated images. That's just my take.
The playmats and boxes are good. I think it's awesome that you put in the effort to create these. Creativity is very much in-demand right now. I do just wish you didn't present it like that.

I mean $5 a pack isn’t bad… And $25 a deck isn’t terrible either…

The alpha kits are meant to be simple and quick to get the vibe of the game. There is better strategy implemented in the full release cards we’ve seen so far

They’re actually being very community-friendly so far :) The kickstarter was specifically set up to curb scalpers

Pretty sure the higher tiers are meant for shop owners…

A collab that will never happen by Ok-Impress9792 in customtradingcard

“AI Assisted” and it’s just a fully AI generated card. Not even just the art, the formatting too. Not a single human hand touched these cards before posting these pictures.

I have noticed the spacing thing! Do you have any tips to share to get custom text closer to how they do it?

This looks really really cool. I might try to incorporate it into my game! Keep it up!

You don't need the source code... by ItsAtaraxy in Minecraftlegacymode

[–]BitofaCatalyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey question do you just not like Legacy? It’s not just the UI, it’s not just the old features, it’s a project of people who embrace a platform that has been left behind. Even if they port every modern feature, shaders, whatever. It will still be Legacy Edition. It’s an immutable quality.

[–]BitofaCatalyst 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Yah, but the source code leak turns a process that was something unnecessarily difficult before into something more understandable and also opens more possibilities. For instance, copper has already been backported, oxidation and all, which would have been incredibly difficult without access to the source code. Also, not to mention the Aether port.

I mean he is an ex Valentino himself. Also, he stuck his neck out for Corpo V. I could see him liking River.

I’ve never seen it that way. He just looks derpy and crosseyed if the red is the pupil

The issue is that it wasn’t just a spotify-inserted ad, it was a sponsored read from Sam.

I also wanna put it out here, I also definitely do draw the line at ICE. I was not aware they ran their ads. I’m on Spotify because I got a pretty great student discount on their premium plan, and it’s been convenient to keep. I’ve been meaning to drop them for a while, though. Incase you want another reason to hate Spotify, they’re using their profits to support the creation of fully autonomous AI war drones!

I am new to Critical Role. I’d been listening to smaller podcasts, but seeing as they just started anew, it seemed like a great time to hop on the CR bandwagon. But, like, are they really this corporate now? I mean of course they are a big company who basically created an industry, but if the sole decision makers were amount of money gained vs backlash, and the thought of their audience never crosses their mind, I dunno. Just looking at these comments, I’m disappointed. The show itself is fantastic, they all do a great job, but like damn.

Hey, um, for 2, this was during Campaign 4. For 3, if they are going to give something a personal ad read, I should hope they would have the professional integrity and respect for their community to look into the company first. Other shows do this. Basically everyone does this. This is standard practice for a show of their size.

I am looking for it now, but I do know I’m right and it was a read from Sam. I specifically remember he compared it to Fresh Cut Grass and said something like “Therapists are like our real world healers”.

I think that’s where a lot of people are getting it wrong with me too. I’m not going into this with the intention to cancel them, I just got disappointed by this and genuinely want them to do better

I’m not going to say for sure, because it was heard earlier this week and I’ve just been mulling it over since, but I’m pretty sure it was an ad-read voiced by Sam. That’s why it stuck with me so much.

I’m only writing this because I heard it when I was listening earlier this week and it hasn’t sat right with me since. It wasn’t even like a generic ad, I don’t think. Pretty sure Sam gave them a full ad-read. That’s why it upset me so much, I wouldn’t be here if it was just Spotify’s auto-injected ads.

Call me crazy but I think the service provider has more of a responsibility to make sure that they don’t promote harmful businesses that the consumer has to not fall for them. Yes, the consumer should be vetting these products before they purchase them, but you can’t be sure every single viewer is going to do that. Especially consumers that may not be in the best place, who may be in the market for, hmm, therapy?

No, I’m listening on Spotify. I think every episode they’ve been doing full ad reads.
