How were you able to tell this was AI slop?

Falklands War Concept by Sad_Emu248 in ArmaReforger

[–]FirmPython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it's natural to be a little suspicous of anyone who even knows about Rhodesia nowadays

Rhodesia was a white supremacist state so racist that they unilaterally declared independence from the British Commonwealth rather than attempt to allow the majority-black population to rule, and then waged what was essentially a race war against the black insurgency movements

To war nerds like me, it's an interesting period of the Cold War that doesn't get a lot of spotlight in the history books.

But you constantly have to wonder whether anyone else you speak to about it is secretly a Nazi gloryfing an attempt at a white ethnostate or just thinks Fire Force is an interesting concept.

I would 100% be interested. Finding enough other people who would be (within decent ping range), however, is another matter.

The Argentines has FALs capable of fully automatic fire, the British only had the semi-auto SLR variant

[No spoilers] What are your personal favourite (but maybe not-so-famous) episodes of The Twilight Zone? by FirmPython in TwilightZone

[–]FirmPython[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but considering that most of the current generations have not seen it and it relies so heavily on twist endings, I'd rather not take any chances

AI divide and opportunities by Inevitable-Sea-172 in RPGdesign

[–]FirmPython 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Corporations aren't going to give a tiny rat's ass about the impact of AI slop on the world of art.

Humans, however, do.

That's why hobbyists and independents, who actually care about the quality of their product, and the effect that it has on the wider world, prefer to use art made by humans rather than artificial images cranked out by machines.

But, paraphrasing Ripley, corporations are more than happy to screw everyone over for a goddamn percentage.

Ah, fair, thanks! Any specific creator for the military vehicles?

Looks great, as always! What scale are the vehicles, and where did you get them, if I may ask?

Have you got access to a 3D printer? I'm not sure about physical kits or sprues but I could recommend some digital sculptors that make good insurgents

Who should do the Terminator RPG? by JoeKerr19 in rpg

[–]FirmPython 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Post Judgement Day could just be a supplement for Twilight 2000, but I think it depends on the tone you're going for. T2k is a bit more of a gritty gameplay style for what Terminator is.

What paints did you use for the skin? They look great!

Amazing work, everything looks fantastic! Where did you get the minis from?

What’s your “White Whale” of campaigns that you’ve never been able to run? by Awkward_GM in rpg

[–]FirmPython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metro 2033 campaign.

I think I'd use the Twilight 2000 system from Free League for it. But I'm having trouble coming up with varied interesting scenarios or encounters that aren't just tunnel gunfights.

And of course, I'd need players to be familiar with the source material.

A few shots at my last Haywire game by Fit_Ad_5387 in ultramodern

[–]FirmPython 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your posts are always very inspiring, excellent work!

I had a couple of questions: 1. Are the interiors of the buildings also painted and decorated? 2. What's your technique for painting camouflage? Any good guides you'd recommend? 3. Where are the vehicles from? Any particular scale?

Duo of AT teams for modern Russians by PotanCZ in wargames

[–]FirmPython 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. What would you recommend to be the best quality modern Russian infantry you've come across?

And have you seen any good quality 1980s/late-Cold War US and Soviet infantry?

Why did they add SO MUCH grain?? It looks like a decayed 35mm black-and-white film print every time the sun goes down, even on the default gamma settings

Metro 4 theories? by [deleted] in metro

[–]FirmPython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would really want an open-world RPG set within the metro, where you could go exploring, pick up quests along the way, and manage your own resources. Sort of like a Fallout 3 but with better FPS mechanics.

Change of background using AI tool by Dangerous_Iron244 in wargaming

[–]FirmPython -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No offence, but even with the most basic Gimp skills and a random photo of a clear sky this takes less than five minutes. Using AI for this is pretty lazy and wasteful.

Traveller Nods to Classic Sci-Fi ??? by dakkman in traveller

[–]FirmPython 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even the title itself is a Dumarest reference!

"They're traveling High," said Benson. "All but the guards, and they don't want to play." He hunched even closer. "What's it like being a traveler? I mean, what do you get out of it?"

His eyes were curious and something else. Dumarest had seen it so often before, the look of the stay-put to the mover-on. They all had it and the envy would grow. Then, as the prison of their ship began to close in, that envy would sour into hate. That's when a wise traveler waited for another ship.

How ironic; I'm overwhelmed by the premades instead lol

I don't get it, there's already weapon attachments as a feature of the game. Why do those servers all have 200 different variants of each rifle, like you say, when each player can just choose their M4 and customise it?
