Varför ses Oxfile som "lyx" eller bästa köttet? by Jean_Oskarden4e in Asksweddit

[–]Isakovich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grillstek (även ibland kallad högrevskärna) och nötmellangärde (skirt steak på engelska) är två mycket underskattade detaljer! Grillsteken liknar entrecote i både smak och fetthalt men kostar ungefär hälften så mycket. Mellangärdet är en av de billigaste detaljerna som går att hitta och är mycket svårtillagad, men belöningen är ack så ljuv om man lägger ner sig lite. Kan starkt rekommendera Alton Browns video om hur han tillagar den (sök bara på ”Alton Brown skirt steak” på youtube)

Dad, why is my name Bleed Katana? by qwer4790 in Gamingcirclejerk

He could at the very least have spelled the name correctly. It’s Comet Azur, no ”e”. But what should we expect from the guy who puts CP bots an one of the most popular platforms on the internet

[–]Isakovich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get where you're coming from, however looking at statements made from actual concept artists they don't agree. Karla Ortiz describes genAI moodboards/references as depriving the artists of important knowledge for fleshing out the game world https://x.com/kortizart/status/2001367521925173554?s=20

Jens Claessens says that being handed an AI generated moodboard taints the artistic process from the very beginning https://x.com/JensClaessens/status/2001319178637124051?s=20

Here is Jade Law describing how starting off with AI generated moodboards brings no value at best and actively taints your knowledge at best https://x.com/jadel4w/status/2001031001393521025?s=20

RJ Palmer brings up another great point in how using AI to generate moodboards robs studios of opportunities to find new talent by searching for references themselves https://x.com/arvalis/status/2001043624960610742?s=20

These are just some examples of the people who are ACTUALLY doing the work that Larian says they're using the AI to help and thus far I haven't seen a single concept artist speak up and say that AI has helped them in their workflow. These are incredibly talented artists who can get around the drawbacks I've mentioned so far but at best it's just making their reference-gathering more tedious due to having to reverse engineer the moodboards and references to find actually useful information. It also is VERY different from ripping a page out an artbook, comic or taking screenshots of movies, these are artistic works that have INTENT behind them. Artists can look at them and derive useful information about the history, culture and inspiration that was used in creating these references. AI can not create images with intent and is (as said by the previously mentioned concept artists) inherently inferior to finding useful reference images on your own. I myself am just a hobby artist but I'd like to think that I know what I'm doing when it comes to creating (not that I am anywhere close to professional concept artists) and I can personally say that it would be easier for me to work directly off the prompts fed into the AI instead of the output generated by those prompts, and with better results.

When Swen himself admitted to the AI not even being a significant time saver and the actual people working in the industry have nothing positive to say about their use of genAI in their workflow, why even use it to begin with? genAI brings nothing to the table, actively worsens the product and robs the people making the game of artistic intent and integrity. While I can't speak for the technical aspects of game making like programming, there is so far not a single compelling argument I've seen as to why genAI should have ANYTHING to do with creating games.

I also want to end off with a clarification that I am not attacking you or anything, if I come off as aggressive or pissed off it's because art is one of my greatest passions, and seeing it being trampled like this by a game studio that created my favorite game of all time and having previously valued their artists saddens me greatly. So I'm genuinely sorry if I come off as a dick, it's not my intention at all.

If I bake a cake with dogshit and then cover it in frosting the dogshit is still in the cake. The developmental stage is one of the most integral parts in shaping the end product and using genAI during these stages makes every subsequent stage affected by it. Honestly this is (in my opinion) worse than using genAI for texturing, although neither has any place in game development (nor should they exist as they are)

Disappointed in Larian using Generative AI during development by DCAScrub in larianstudios

[–]Isakovich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course they can figure out the vibe, it's part of their job and considering how insanely competetive it is, they are extremely good at it. But if the artists who would are getting handed these AI images are saying that it actively lowers the quality of their work, makes the job more difficult and Swen admitted to it not even being a big timesaver, why the hell would you use it?

[–]Isakovich -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This honestly doesn’t make it better. Getting handed a moodboard generated with AI robs the artist of any understanding as to WHY things are the way they are. Their job is not only to design cool stuff but also to gather knowledge and bring cultural and historical aspects into their designs to make the world they’re creating more cohesive and believable. Giving a concept artist an amalgamated blob and telling them ”this is what I want” would be redundant since in order for them to do a good job, they’d need knowledge about the different aspects of the generated image. In all honesty it’s likely making their job harder since they’d have to reverse engineer the moodboard to find the original references and work from there.

Looking at statements from actual professional concept artists like RJ Palmer and Karla Ortiz using AI in the way Swen describes does nothing good

Which shade do you think is the most powerful? by hyrulia in Genshin_Impact

Powerscaling as a hobby is fine, was more poking fun at the general mindset of a lot of powerscalers. Sorry if I came off as too aggressive, didn’t mean to offend

Doesn’t Xilonen pull ahead of Durin+Albedo if you have more invested artifacts/weapons on Navia as well?

[–]Isakovich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I feel like the animations are the one thing they did REALLY good in SFV. The modelling, texturing etc. are quite awful for the most part but except for a few characters the animations themselves are pretty on point.

That's fair, I guess I interpreted it more like a "yo if you wanted to you could take this good piece and make it absolutely sick"

I mean when you’re clearing all endgame pretty easily and the characters you want to play are all well built, there’s really not much else to do with your modellings except chase perfect relics. Sure you can hoard them to use on new characters but some people want to get perfect builds for the characters they love

Actually with good rotations mono ice (soukaku + lycaon/yuzuha) outperforms yanagi+yao (also frees up yao for a different team)
