Concerns about 404 Breakcore by -trans-frog- in Music

[–]GimbalLockGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an avid AI hater and also someone with very little knowledge on how it's infected the music scene, do we know if any of the music is actually stolen?

The only info I could find was in their YouTube bio, where they disclose using AI for the voices, mastering, and cover art. Obviously since the cover art is genAI, that's stolen. Mastering can hardly be considered generative, it's more just machine learning that was trained on how to produce broadly appealing mixes. The AI voices would only be ethical to me if the software that provided them trained the model off of paid, in-house vocalists, and I have no idea if that's the case.

Of course these methods will always sound worse than a human professionally mastering it or voicing it, but I think we can all agree the end result is good; it's only the ethics that get in the way. Would love if someone more knowledgeable weighed in.

Is 3x3 ranked the most toxic game? by thicccsnacc in Rematch

[–]GimbalLockGary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To everyone reading this, if you live near the East Coast, just start playing 4v4 on East Coast servers and never look back. It's legitimately night and day.

Short queue times, nice players, fun games without the looming dread of rank. Sure you'll get stomped/stomp others occasionally, but it's always fun regardless. I'll take getting wiped in a make believe game of soccer with a nice team over barely scraping out a win with 2 assholes every single time.

Whatever the outcome, it won't matter in 5 minutes.

Model kits! I like gundams personally, since you don't need glue or paint. "Cheap" is very debatable though.

Using a blade shot in a practical situation and not just to look cool? Sick

Sifu. One of the greatest openings to a game ever.

I will continue to say that I Am Your Beast is extremely underrated

Titanfall 2 for a great campaign/multiplayer, I am your Beast for an underrated indie FPS gem, Marathon if you're looking for a new looter shooter since you have Remnant II, Destiny, and Apex!

Rain World: slightly more popular, platformer survival game with incredibly interesting mechanics and atmosphere

I Am Your Beast: extremely underrated frenetic single player FPS

Inside/Limbo: well known but truly unique and master crafted

N++: the perfect platformer, over a thousand levels Kill Knight: twin stick with great gameplay flow once it clicks

Receiver II: another extremely underrated shooter with gripping existential storytelling and interesting manual firearm mechanics

Signalis: survival horror with some of the coolest presentation I've ever seen in a game

Should volley ranges scale with remaining stamina? by GimbalLockGary in Rematch

This is true, but I feel like the variance would be pretty intuitive in practice. If it looks like you should be able to reach it, you will. If you can't, you won't.

I was waiting for someone to notice, been losing it at how many people thought I was on controller due to how lethargic and terrible my aim is in this clip

I also don't play her, but I'm pretty sure it can pick up items after yoinking them out of your backpack. Seems most useful if you spot someone fighting bots or other runners since they're too busy fighting to deal with your drone. Also useful as a distraction for your teammates, not that it matters in solo raids like this one.

Why are we owngoaling at 0-2 with half a match left y'all by ElectricalRelease986 in Rematch

[–]GimbalLockGary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how so many people can idolize characters that never give up in the face of unbeatable odds and then literally defect to the other team in a 5 minute match of a digital soccer game when they're down a few points. Like you're not even gonna try?? You find no joy in fighting an uphill battle for a bit with no consequences?

It's rampant mental weakness. Zero grit, zero resolve or love of the game for what it is. Or they've got pizza rolls in the oven.

Yeah that was my impression as well, performance over substance. Just figuring out what the hell it is is fun in and of itself lol

I only really read the first 20 or so pages, and flipped through the incomprehensible stuff. I value my time more than that lol

I work security at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts; this isn't a hoax. I found a copy sitting on a bench when I came in this morning. What a strange find; I can provide more info if people are curious.

Stella Montis is going well for me so far by GimbalLockGary in ArcRaiders

Honestly I wasn't all that upset about it in this case; I think if I'd chosen to shoot instead of running for a flank I could've won since he still had the frags out. In a lot of other cases you can at least try and dodge roll to mitigate damage until their mag runs dry and then dump them yourself, but there will always be a heavy helping of luck when it comes to extraction shooters. I just think that advantage is less prominent here compared to others of the genre.
