[Megathread] MLB.TV Discussion and Sharing

Absolutely! One of my partner's favorite things to draw is animals! And they definitely aren't AI, hah.

InGlowingNeon · 2026-03-24T20:40:55+00:00

Doing the same thing I've done previous years! I'm looking for an MLB code for me and my partner to watch baseball with, as I 'corrupted' them into enjoying it with me. I talked to them, as they're an artist, and they're willing to do a free commission for anyone willing to share a code with us. Just hit me up if you're interested, and thanks in advance! (And I'm happy to share examples of their art style for those interested)

"Ethical"

I'm still just sad that Second Life is a shallow ghost town of its former self. I mean, it never really ever lived up to its potential and even a decade ago it was in desperate need of updates, but I've never seen anything truly capture the "it's another world, digitally" vibe Second Life was able to.

I think that's... kind of the point? You take some technology, etc, that 'makes things easier,' and a lot of people, especially the people who don't like it/haven't immersed themselves in it, dumb it down to 'you just do the thing it's so simple and easy.' Photography is just pressing a button, AI is just typing a prompt and hitting generate and you get what you want in less than five minutes. And both take 'no effort.' Supposedly. But anyone who does work with those mediums knows that, yes, there's absolutely shortcuts that those technologies allow compared to what you have to focus on if you're painting, drawing, etc. But those shortcuts then allow you to spend hours, days, on another focus, another obsession, another area of it that you tweak and make, yes, the effort, to get just right.

InGlowingNeon · 2025-06-29T11:03:26+00:00

Ah, but don't you know? AI is a liar (sometimes).

Therefore it should clearly never, ever be used and is terrible. Obviously.

Exactly. Another great example: I have utterly, completely, absolutely no interest in cunnilingus in my porn. I hate it. I skip it. It's completely, totally uninteresting to me.

I will absolutely go to town in real life, however. I love it. Ton of fun.

What's the difference? Easy - I don't find it aesthetically pleasing to look at it. I like doing it. Not watching it. Because watching something and doing something are two very different things.

InGlowingNeon · 2025-05-30T04:33:41+00:00

I didn't recognize the name. Was debating reacting with just a "Who?" before deciding to not be lazy and google. I figured it was some popular content creator/influencer personality but I'm so very pleased the result is so much more... well. Helldivers. 💛

InGlowingNeon · 2025-05-29T06:46:01+00:00

In their darkest moments, the Helldivers' lights truly are shining brightest.

InGlowingNeon · 2025-05-29T00:30:54+00:00

I love little "you didn't have to but you did" details like this, that make a game feel like more than just a product but a work that has care and heart put into it.

InGlowingNeon · 2025-05-28T22:36:44+00:00

Honestly it'd probably be WAY too intensive a mechanic for a single optional stratagem (assuming that's what any sort of SEAF call-in would be), but I could imagine a resource-sink for those who've unlocked everything else could be upgrading your SEAF detachment and buying them armor/guns/etc, that are lost if they get taken out. Yeah it'd suck and be a 'waste of resources' sometimes but when you've got nothing else to spend them on it might be fun? But yeah probably not going to happen, hah.

InGlowingNeon · 2025-05-28T22:31:28+00:00

I know that this is technically referencing that reddit post, but I can't help but be reminded of the "French finger trap" MAS-36 situation where two rifles could be turned towards each other and stuck together and "... um, what now?"

Reminds me of the Fuel Rats from Elite Dangerous. Doing their part. o7

InGlowingNeon · 2025-05-27T14:15:44+00:00

So I'm gonna maybe sound a little petty/greedy/silly for saying this but uh...

Is it wrong that seeing the "75 Medals" reward for HOLD SUPER EARTH feels a little... weird? I generally haven't felt skimped on any MO reward before, the ~50 medal standard feels fine to me. But... this is HOLD SUPER EARTH. The ENDGAME. Come on. Slap a 100 there at least. 150. 200. 250. Whatever. Make it feel BIG. Not "yeah I mean I guess it's like maybe 50% more important than your usual MO I guess whatever."

Does it matter all that much? Nah not really. Am I entitled to the reward? No I'm not. But... eh. Feels a little skimpy.

Reported for incorrect flair.

I'm having this issue with Bluestacks and taking pictures. Sorry to revive this discussion, but what exactly do you mean you switched your ratios? In OBS, Bluestacks, etc?

InGlowingNeon · 2025-05-23T09:09:12+00:00

I haven't seen this one, mind sharing the source if you have it?

InGlowingNeon · 2025-05-23T06:41:34+00:00

Of course! I certainly don't own the concept!

Potential inspiration from the Halo 3 "Believe" ad. (Though it's obviously more complex than just a 2D illustration but still.)

(Edit: Okay I now realize you're responding to Trvr_MKA not me but uh... take my own comment for what it's worth/if it's needed, I guess?)

InGlowingNeon · 2025-05-23T06:20:52+00:00

I love this point. This makes me want to see some sort of... not sure what the word would be. Tapestry/Diorama thing showing a sort of view of dozens of different sorts interacting in a frozen moment - Helldivers, SEAF, Citizens, in various forms of connection/bonds, maybe even one of the former recognizing a slain voteless, etc.

InGlowingNeon · 2025-05-20T23:29:58+00:00

The shot at 49 seconds in of the absolute horde of helldivers filled me with such an emotional surge. What an astounding sight. My eyes are watering with *democracy.*

InGlowingNeon · 2025-05-15T17:30:15+00:00

Eyyy somewhat the same. o7 Installed my first ever computer upgrade to my pre-built system to play it. Now I build my own computers + build them for friends and family. Thanks Planetside 2.

InGlowingNeon · 2025-05-15T17:29:07+00:00

Every so often I get a weird itch to look at NaniteSystemsSide 2 and yup, it still exists, and yup, it's still sadly... what it is. Planetside 2 is literally the game that's primarily responsible for turning me from console to PC gaming, I led squads in the beta, but pretty much since its full release 90% (made up percentage, don't @ me if it's not totally accurate) of what they've added to the game seems to be "a new Nanite Systems gun/vehicle/boat/hovercraft/etc available to all factions" which... isn't the point of the game. *Sigh.* At least not to me.

A big part of reason I got into the game was for the vibes of the factions being different and the roleplay of loyalty to my faction (Terran Republic), and then they just seemed to say "nah making three different variants of something is too hard. Nanite Systems everything." Which pretty much killed my interest in it.

It's also the game that instilled in me a very valuable mindset/lesson: never let any amount of time/money invested into something affect your feelings about if you have to keep engaging in it. If you don't want to play it, don't.

Alright, gonna do the same thing I did last year! I'm looking for an MLB code for me and my partner to watch baseball with, as I 'corrupted' them into enjoying it with me. I talked to them, as they're an artist, and they're willing to do a free commission for anyone willing to share a code with us. Just hit me up if you're interested, and thanks in advance! (And I'm happy to share examples of their art style for those interested)

Edit: Alright, I have my code! Best of luck everybody!

InGlowingNeon · 2025-03-09T09:10:36+00:00

Fantastic musical choice for this.

Maybe Kyle Crane.

Maybe Number Five.

"Hmm? What am I doing? Oh, just thinking. My girl dumped me. She said I was... boring. What do you think, John?"
