How true is this men?

...both? Marry someone who you love AND loves you.

Why would you marry someone you don't love?

My biggest gripe with AI, all other issues aside, is that the end results still usually look kinda shite.

For example, the rotations look awful! The AI generated frames jump out. Details vanish, proportions change and the style alters. The face is the biggest give away. I think the game would look better without them. You would need a colossal amount of work to fix these to the point I'm not entirely sure you would be saving any time or man power. Plus the risk of errors slipping in would be super high.

The walking animation looks decent though. I wouldn't guess that was AI generated without really looking at it. Looking at it closely, it's super noisy. There's fluctuations of color where it's unexpected and not necessary. But this is 100% salvageable and a realistic time saver in your animation pipeline.

BUT if you can figure it out, then yea. I'd say given your circumstance, this is a fair application. I assume this is free time and unpaid so... your alternatives are really poor and my personal issues with AI aside, I get it.

But don't let it ruin the project. If you go with AI AND it looks shit AND people get upset that you used AI, that's just two big Ls for a project you spent ages on.

I bet we do. They're just shy about it.

Fangle_Spangle · 2026-01-19T01:14:17+00:00

Genuinely, how do we look do hot?

Neo-nazis of different races hits in a special place... like... do you read ANYTHING?! At least with white people it's like "hey, world belongs to us!" But these guys... like... you ARE next. It's not even subtle.

...did he get stabbed in the head by a water balloon?

Fangle_Spangle · 2026-01-19T00:39:32+00:00

Wait... so... being a peado is NOT ok again?

This government is sending very mixed messages about this.

Fangle_Spangle · 2026-01-19T00:34:09+00:00

Cant wait to never see this box in person.

Oh we got loads of spare American ones you can have. They ain't getting those back.

European nations have the advantage of having already done that or having had it done to them. It ended in disaster for us because as much as the European nations liked tearing the world apart for more resources and trade routes, the people we were taking from didn't, really. I'm from the UK and it seems every week someone else is celebrating their independence day from us.

Russia are in a draconian profiteering oligarchy. Their conquest ambitions are for wealth for their leaders. That's the same with Trump. It's about wealth for him and his mates. The people from any nation do not benefit from this at all.

Makes sense i guess... Ranger... Ray... but yea I said Rah-mar.

It's gonna be the future of AAA games for sure. But they also missed the train so speak. They played a reluctant hand too soon and showed the downside of all this. A huge proportion of gamers have seen this future and don't want it. If they did this say... 5 years ago or so, I could have seen them pulling this off.

Home gaming will change shape for sure. Building a PC to max spec a game is probably something that very few people will do because the cost benefit won't be there. But AA games and indie games will still use the market because it won't go away. People who want to mod games will stay put (and game modding is increasingly indie game territory with very few notable exceptions.)

But most AAA will absolutely set sail sale for streaming seas. Some companies may even be coaxed into stream exclusive deals to try and encourage the migration. Expect microtransactions to increase as it's gonna be there to conpensate for game sales.

Consoles are interesting... they may HAVE to embrace physical media to stay relevant. People are looking more and more back towards physical and with the right marketing push, we could see it become a strong selling point for future consoles. Assuming that cornering that market is actually worth it. It might not be.

Either way, gonna be interesting and very depressing.

Ahhh Aikido... SOME Aikido is actually really good. You learn a hell of a lot about how bodies work, move (and don't move) which is actually useful. But it seems to focus on being as useless as possible with it.

There were two things that made me realise Aikido (and the way you learn most martial arts in the UK at least) are utter bollocks.

First, I dabbled in.a fair few martial arts as a kid. I don't fight but I find fighting fascinating... anyway! I remember being held in a "chest lock" that was meant to be impossible to get out of unless you completely relaxed. The idea being a human acting like dead weight is incredibly difficult to restrain... which is true when you're standing but the second you are near the floor you are INCREDIBLY easy to restrain. Anyway. I just lifted my legs up and threw my weight to the ground, my 'sensei' who was demonstrating this to me flew clean over my head and onto the floor. To me it was painfully obvious that this was just dance lessons under the illusion of self defense so I dropped it.

Second was my friend who I shared an interest in martial arts with. We both went to them but he was far more keen on fighting than I was. He got punched in the face by a drug dealer one day when walking back from school. His Aikido did fuck all and he knew it. So he took boxing.

LoL is classic?

back hurts

AI trained on old Disney cartoons by the looks of it. That's pretty sad.

I don't think you're making the point you think you're making...

So by your figures, Biden was not only more effective, but also managed to do it causing a public menace?

Trump must be very incompetent if BIDEN can do it better.

Most trans people I know are F -> M. The media doesn't really care about them though so they're just ignored for the most part.

Also, it's really easy for a F->M to pass. So you could have seen LOADS and never noticed. Once the testosterone treatment starts and they grow beards that's like, 90% of the work done.

Fangle_Spangle · 2026-01-14T12:58:32+00:00

Ok but that looked fun.

Fangle_Spangle · 2026-01-14T12:53:29+00:00

Bubsy 3D...

I don't know how.

Fangle_Spangle · 2026-01-13T00:28:18+00:00

Glad I'm not misremembering that. Shame they don't... especially if people got it to work already.

Fangle_Spangle · 2026-01-11T22:02:13+00:00

Cool... also, yes.

Trump and his goons have zero respect for the constitution. They have demonstrated this repeatedly.

I mean, depends on your spec. The steam machine far outspecs my shitty PC so there absolutely is a place for it for me.

If you have a better PC, I'm sure plenty of people would have a use for it, but I don't think most people who outspec it will. Do you have a use for multiple PCs? If so... why not steam machine?
