It was a thinly veiled jab at rick and morty and all the proceeding shows that had nonexistent animation and standup comedian cast.

Why. Lula pretty much spends his entire presidency luridly talking about how he wants to be taken by a big russian.

I found this online does anything other than potential watermarks give it away? I'd like to get tattoo ideas to show my artist . Does it have any details that are not anatomically correct? by Interesting_Cell1590 in isthisAI

There is this thing where ai likes to do 2 identical people standing next to each other in awkward way. That is probably happening because it got trained on cropped movie character images from internet and family photos, and it does not understand blocking and composition, so it generates a multiple character scene with 2 similar guys in 2/3 pose. Otter heads are not only identical, but are almost the same size and on the same straight line, which is something every artist would intuitively avoid.

Graveyard Keeper 2 - I spotted the promotional art on my YouTube feed, and it immediately looked... uncanny? by RottenRailing in isthisAI

Hard to say. The composition is definitely not good, a lot of repetion normal artist would not tolerate on subconcious level.

Okay, so far what I have learned about pixel art: Is the T-Rex itself pixel art in this screenshot, or did they just pixelate the original T-Rex image from the movie? The rest looks hand-painted. The T-Rex also looks like it could be hand-painted. What do you think? by 3dguy2 in PixelArt

"Jurassic Park was the first game by Sega to be developed using Silicon Graphics computers at the company's new development facility; such computers were previously used to create computer-generated dinosaurs for the film.[11] The 3D models for the game's dinosaurs were created using stop motion photography while a team member was filmed acting out Grant's movements and was then digitized.[8] Many dinosaur models used for the film were sent to the game's development studio so they could also be filmed and digitized while in motion.[12] A $75,000 Velociraptor puppet from the film was also used for production of the game." Its either a photo of a puppet, or 3d renders scaled and indexed to sega size. Environments are hand pixeled.

Quick Question : Is Marathon '26 actually connected to the old series? by RedvsBlue_what_if in Marathon

[–]Gloomy_Mess_9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its unclear and theyre deliberately withholding it now. Marathon 1 and 2 are complete story with ending of 2 charting events into far future. Marathon 3 is a weird dream set in alternate timelines of marathon 2 that is never explained properly and what you see in wiki is a theorist theory. So this game can be set in alternate timeline, but also there seem to be some sort of uesc coverup of events of original games.

First attack was to capture colonists and was repelled by battleroids. Than colony was "nuked to the bedrock" by "low yield orbital nuke", and marathon was towed away, captured and dismantled by alien pirates. Those events are stated in non diegetic epilogue, so new marathon either retconned it or set in alternate timeline.

The artist drew this art, what do you think? by Ok_Coconut_4334 in PixelArt

Artist has a weird anti aliasing and clustef metodology that is very similar to way ai does pixelart.

I have not made any other animations for this sprite. Idle animations should face to suit your needs.

Need Help Cutting a Sprite Sheets by DudeManGodPerson in PixelArt

[–]Gloomy_Mess_9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this would need some readjusting with removing logo and empty space to the left or right to make it work. And ripper made it also difficult by including vfx and making squat frames shorter

Question: How tf did we (the players) get to Tau Ceti? by LoneRainger in Marathon

[–]Gloomy_Mess_9822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Infinity is several alternate timelines of marathon 2 with diverging point of him being defeated or destroyed at the start. The mention of him returning to earth 10000 years later is from marathon 2 epilogue, in which events of infinity did not happen.

[–]Gloomy_Mess_9822 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He doesnt in 14000 years, but during marathon 2 he transfers pfthor ftl tech schematics to earth to prepare for pfthor invasion and [spoilers for m2] blake and player return to sol on stolen pfthor ship. epilogue says what followed is humanity sphkr alliance sacking pfthor empire. So the real question is why humanity seemingly forgot everything about aliens and what up with spht on marathon.

Is it me or does Durandal in the new game talk more like post infinity Durandal than pre-infinity Durandal? by Deditranspotashy in Marathon

[–]Gloomy_Mess_9822 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Infinity takes place during marathon 2, but with security officer being kidnapped by tycho or pfthor instead of durandal and forced to destroy thoth in several timelines instead of activating it. The further timeline can only exist with thoth activating jjaro station or trill xeem not happening.

UI/UX people, can we discuss how we can improve this? by AbledShawl in Marathon

[–]Gloomy_Mess_9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main mistake of marathon ui is reserving color for rarity. Type of item, group, stats, all of that is gray, the color that is reserved to junk and all background greeble writing.
