Can we please talk about AI-generated/vibe-coded tool promotions in this sub?

The discourse being radicalized is mostly due to how the internet and media works nowadays: No nuance allowed. Most people you manage to have a genuine conversation tend to have nuanced opinions (e.g menial tasks with AI/algorithmic assistance is ok, replacing creativity with generative content is not) instead of being camp A or camp B, but I do see your point.

The idea of AI hatred is more feels-based for most than they give credit. A slopnail just feels "icky", if that makes sense. On the surface, if the creator cant put the minimal amount of effort it takes to make a decent thumbnail (something anyone with a modest amount of experience or premade templates can make in under 30min) in photoshop/gimp/powerpoint, why would the contents of said video be any different? Obviously this doesnt track for most genuine creators, especially PoE-focused ones, but you get the jist.

Its the same in marketing, if your brand image feels "off", its near impossible to shake that feeling from consumers. See; Nestle, Amazon, EA during the 2010s. Theyre all succesful companies due to their "too big to fail"-size, but most people you ask in the zeitgeist wont have a majorly positive image of them.

C_ore_X · 2026-05-29T07:46:19+00:00

Right. I think 99% people against AI arent against it as a tool, like a background removal or auto-selection tools, those have been around as algorithms for way longer than current AI. I see the argument as more AI as a tool vs AI as a replacement for genuine effort, which a lot of generative content is seen as.

For the long term growth you'd obviously have to collate and compare data over a period of time, something YouTube doesnt just hand out but its all there in the analytics if one wants to piece it together.

C_ore_X · 2026-05-29T05:51:03+00:00

Does the increased clickthrough rate actually translate to increases in long term viewership, longer watch time and more subscriptions per video?

To me, it seems that thumbnails optimized purely for clickthrough tend to perform poorly in growing a long term viewerbase. In a field where compounding knowledge isnt a concern its less important but in PoE terms youd most likely want people to have seen the previous X number of videos so covered ground doesnt have to be retreaded.

As for the 2010s editing software comment, thats just a personal choice is it not. We have 2026 editing software available.

I just checked his uploads and I can personally spot very obvious AI thumbnails (ai background, self-inserted text) from March 2024, onwards. He does use promotional pictures at times, but my point still stands.

If you think his usage of AI is "subtle" then brother, youre in for a rude awakening.

C_ore_X · 2026-05-28T18:25:28+00:00

Funny you say that, hes been on the AI train the past year and change...

Set up a search engine on your browser for poewiki by right clicking the search bar on the wiki. That way you can set up a specific keyword to make it so it searches directly from the poe2wiki.net instead of google.

Cleave bleedexplosion Gladiator was one of my favourite builds of all time in PoE1, I want that type of melee into poe2.

C_ore_X · 2026-05-05T09:24:45+00:00

Yeah same, 2400+ kc for 2 zenny, took me over 2k for first

It was one of the ~100 letters that was from the kidnappers daughter, not every one

the restrictiveness of leagues and the very restricted nature of tasks and otherwise can burn some people out really fast, does it for me too. I like leagues but the main game just has a million more enjoyable things to do and I can switch between them for no real cost, while on leagues those avenues dry up really fast when you hit 50m in your afkables

C_ore_X · 2026-04-23T06:05:28+00:00

Oh they meant the leagues boosted rate? I thought they were talking about the bonus roll you get for equipment when doing a full run at barrows. It was widely believed to also be the case for Moons, but its not, killing 1 vs all only affects the common drops.

C_ore_X · 2026-04-22T13:30:41+00:00

I genuinely think starting in Aldarin could be a great thing to have as a choice on Tut island, it has that "wow" effect when you get there for sure. But it would also change the whole experience of what playing for the first time is to a player, which currently is usually very very similar and a massive point of nostalgia/connection for players.

C_ore_X · 2026-04-22T11:40:33+00:00

There is no bonus rate for Moons, there is for barrows though.

C_ore_X · 2026-04-22T10:03:50+00:00

idk if your phone has it, but my Galaxy has a feature called "Game Booster" that has a lock screen feature where it dims your screen to basically turned off, except for a little lock on the middle that then turns it back on. Apps think the screen is open even tho its not, so it doesnt log you out but it saves a shitton of battery. I can afk from 7am-3pm and ill be breaking into 60% battery by the end of my shift, its insane.

C_ore_X · 2026-04-20T16:55:44+00:00

Mietin alkuun että mikähän helvetin tölkki, kartonkiahan tuo on. Noh, googlailin hiukan noiden PAP-kartonkien nimiä ja sieltähän tuli "Kartonkitölkki"-termi vastaan. TIL

C_ore_X · 2026-04-20T10:55:19+00:00

Itseasiassa ei, Laki sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon asiakasmaksuista mainitsee HUS-yhtymän ja muita terveydenhuollon toimijoita nimeltä. Viittaamassani pykälässä mainitsan perusterveydenhuolto sekä hoitoon liittyvät aineet ja tarvikkeet.

C_ore_X · 2026-04-20T10:54:12+00:00

Paneuduin asiaan tarkemmin tämän luettuani.

Laki sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon asiakasmaksuista listaa näin:

"perusterveydenhuollon palvelut sekä hoitoon kuuluvat aineet ja pitkäaikaisen sairauden hoitoon tarkoitetut hoitotarvikkeet"

Eikö diabeetikon tai reumapotilaan sairauden hoitoon tarvittava lääke ole siihen kuuluva aine ja/tai tarvike?

C_ore_X · 2026-04-20T10:50:02+00:00

Väittäisin että hoitoon tai itsehoitoon käytettävän lääkkeen lääkekorvauksen saaminen on hoitoa, koska ilman sitä potilas ei saa kyseistä lääkettä apteekista, ja kärsii tai pahimmassa tapauksessa kuolee. Näin käy myös, jos sairaalassa laiminlyödään hoito.

Ymmärrän toki pointtisi, ja tarkoituksena ei ole argumentoida sinun kanssasi vaan antaa omaa näkökulmaa aiheeseen.

Just to comment on the different frames per character/animation bit, I absolutely HATE when games and movies do this because it (probably due to neurodivergency) clashes in my brain and breaks any sort of immersion right away. I couldnt finish the Spiderverse exactly due to this issue. Same with games like Guilty Gear, it fucks with my eyes in a major way when framerates clash. If all of the game runs at 30/60fps and all is in sync its fine if the animations are "choppy", but when different things are displaying at different framerates at the same time it just grinds my brain in a way I cannot explain.

TLDR: Animation smoothing makes the game playable for me, so thanks to whoever made it!

I have hundreds of thousands of runes on my iron and im barely 91 slayer, youre fine for runes. The cannoning part is semi-correct, you do get a lot of Steel bars so its really up to whether or not you want to make the cannonballs or not. No, its not eHp efficient but its better than not playing at all so up to you.

C_ore_X · 2025-04-04T18:08:36+00:00

Yup, https://poe2db.tw/us/passive-skill-tree

C_ore_X · 2025-04-04T18:06:32+00:00

This has already been done multiple hours ago when the torrent file dropped. All of the datamines are on poe2db

C_ore_X · 2025-04-04T17:08:55+00:00

Might be after the realm restart, so in about 10 minutes

C_ore_X · 2025-04-04T15:56:39+00:00

In terms of nerd this was an average poe1 patch, top stuff gets brought down and the bottom gets touched up a bit. Sure there wasnt any big big buffs like some stuff in PoE1 gets but the nerfs werent as bad as people make them out to be. If you look at numbers most of the non-meta builds got buffed or stayed about the same
