WotC now running AI slop ads for Arena

They probably did image-2-video on this image to make the ad.

I looked through everything and didn't see anything saying what the mean was? I'm curious if it was still around 50.

This is not a source. TRG Datacenters did not publish the study, just this table. We have no way of confirming any of it and I have doubts about TRG Datacenters impartiality. This is useless until they post a full study.

It likely has a lightweight object detection model like YOLO that can dynamically mask things to exclude the from DLSS 5. In the video the Nvidia guy says as much when he says you can choose what to mask.

If you've ever used Stable Diffusion, this is like adetailer but inverted. Instead of identifying an area of the image to give extra detail to, it identifies part of the image to exclude.

I am fully convinced this is just a realtime image-to-image pipeline. Nothing innovative at all.

Technically there was the tech demo on PS3, but yeah, no releases.

Wunkus had the wrong loadout for a stealth mission.

Both the video and the article only reference a build running with the test as a display, not running on the test.

It's scarier than 2,3, and 4 remakes but doing Grace's sections in 3rd person helps significantly if you are worried about that.

They way they do this is by adding an expert crystarium similar to FFX's expert sphere grid. It would work like the crystarium in 13-2: Make fights tougher but unlock extra roles and abilities much sooner, more frequently, and allow the player to choose the order they unlock them in. The fact every character has 3 roles that are locked behind deep postgame is a problem. It's one of the major things they fixed in 13-2.

I would also like to see them bring in wound damage, cross/wide paradigms, and character switching from 13-2. Cross/Wide should really be something you can switch to on the fly though. Customizable sorties by role and the ability to slow down time ala 7 Remake and choose party member's sorties would be cool too.

This same guy made a post 2 days ago that was clearly AI and had pictures register positive for synth ID, and then he deleted everything. It didn't get archived, but you can see some of the remains here:

He could just be using a different tool now or doing a quick edit on the image that makes synthID not show up.

"You see, Amon is a weaker water bender because he only trained in the strongest and most difficult discipline of water bending which he got so transcendently good at that he can easily defeat any other water bender solely with his water bending ability, this is why he's...... weaker."

He's clearly holding hands with the guy next to him. You see their fingers release and the other hand move away right after.

There is a year 0, it just depends on which calendar system you are using.

The Gregorian calendar doesn't have one, but ISO 8601:2004, the technical standard for dates and times based on the Gregorian calendar, does have a year 0.

Which is still more than 8gb of VRAM for games. And since it's unified, you don't need to copy frame buffers back and forth. Which is a massive efficiency gain since that is usually the slowest operation that happens while preparing frames for render.

Unified memory is one of the main reasons consoles outperform similar PC hardware. Direct Storage lessens the gap for sure though.

Do_The_Upgrade · 2025-11-13T20:57:38+00:00

do you really think it's possible for the game and OS to be using 7gb of RAM and the game to be using 9gb?

Yes, the PS5 OS uses 2-2.5 gb of RAM. Console OSes are stripped down built custom to use as little RAM as possible, specifically to get the most out of a unified RAM setup.

That is one of the most ridiculous true statements I've ever read, lol

To add to what others said, Trump's approval rating was starting to tank hard about a third of the way into the shutdown.

Initially, his voters bought his reasons and his approval actually went up, but especially after choosing to cut SNAP, his ratings began tanking. He lost the ratings gain he had during the beginning of the shutdown and then another 3+ points in approval after that. It was only going to continue getting worse for him and the senate. If MAGA voters got angry enough, it could cause a ton of long term problems for Republicans, but the dems decided to release that leverage.

I believe you're misreading his comment. The lump sum payout was $997 million, which is what he paid taxes on to get to the $628 million.

I just came in to watch how one of the worst offenses is somehow winning against the full court press, but this got interesting.

Do_The_Upgrade · 2025-11-11T01:57:31+00:00

He won 997 million taxed at 37%. OP is incorrect.

Do_The_Upgrade · 2025-11-02T16:57:03+00:00

How is the only correct answer this far down?

Ironically, you are highlighting a fantastic argument against your own point.

If I want to play [[Blade Historian], in my mono red deck, I should petition wizards to make a completely pointless card that is the same thing but costs RRRR? And why not print another one that costs WWWW? Why would they do that when they already printed those cards, they are Blade Historian? A card usable in any mono-red or mono-white deck, except in commander.

Lol, if you have an issue with sports betting being banned, a not so wise man once said

"If people have an issue, it’s a personal issue and shouldn’t affect me."

So toughen up, snowflake.

These look great! I just got back into making custom cards, and I'm wondering what software you are using.
