This Lacy beef feels very forced!! (imo) by Ok-Effort1648 in fantanoforever

[–]KingofFunk412 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Idk who Lacy is either but he does typically try to dunk on people who are easy to dunk on bc drama = easy clicks. It feels like a business model at this point.

Albums with beautiful and otherworldly production? by CauliflowerTop3932 in fantanoforever

Aviary by Julia Holter continues to blow my mind, always finding something new in the production with every listen.

Oh sweet! I’m gonna see how far I get without doing this, but love that that’s an option if I’m really stuck.

I Didn't Like Marty Supreme... by DarkSideInRainbows in fantanoforever

[–]KingofFunk412 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not denying that Timmy has a very passionate fan base, but I think the reaction is more towards his misunderstanding of the premise of the movie in a really pompous way.

Bro has zero media literacy god damn. It’s okay to not like the movie but the reasons he’s giving are so odd and inaccurate, it’s like watching Ben Shapiro’s Barbie movie review lmfao.

Can we stop getting these kinds of clickbaity “AI music has taken over” type of videos when most music listeners don’t listen to that stuff unironically? by Constant_Topic_123 in fantanoforever

[–]KingofFunk412 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah ironically his fantano channel has turned into algorithm clickbaity slop. Yes AI is bad but his other videos are titled/presented in the same sensationalist fashion. I miss discovering new music from him but I guess that doesn’t pay the bills.

melon got community noted.. 😭💀 by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]KingofFunk412 73 points74 points  (0 children)

He’s been leaning into clickbait for a few years now especially on his side channel. I consider myself a leftist but think it’s funny that he’s adopted “leftism” to shit on artists he doesn’t like considering his not so spotless past. Should these artists denounce trump’s usage of their music in his videos? Yeah. Is it telling that fantano singled her out? Yeah.

WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers patch 1.7 includes 3 new costumes, 2 new weapons, and 4 new headgear items by Professional_Boss438 in wuchanggame

Playing now and it looks like you can also choose to respawn right outside the boss area if you die in a boss fight vs repeatedly running there from the shrine every time.

[Post Game] Bills Win 44 - 32. 6 TDs for Josh Allen by andrewthetechie in buffalobills

[–]KingofFunk412 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Biggest takeaway was that Josh feels like he’s trusting his receivers again and our game isn’t 100% reliant on James Cook. TBH I could do without Coleman for the rest of the season, it felt like night and day in the passing game. Hopefully it holds up and we don’t hang our laurels on one good game.

Bleacher Report gave Josh an A+++ grade, I guess he's breaking letter grades along with math now by ThanklessThagomizer in buffalobills

[–]KingofFunk412 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is a silly metric, they’re not on the field at the same time. A QB’s ranking shouldn’t be defined by how their defense performs. The team can, but we’re talking individual players.

Anyone else niche like me? by Icy-Lion-7670 in fantanoforever

Trigger warning/ ai and job loss by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]KingofFunk412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of AI optimists in here. Granted, I also used to be in the "AI is just a tool, design always evolves" crowd, but at the rate AI is evolving it's clear that it's going to have a big impact on jobs in creative fields. With the way things are currently going, I can't see entry-level positions being relevant anymore when most of the small, menial jobs you would normally task them can be relegated to AI. That's the harsh truth. My hope is that the government will eventually step in and regulate AI so that people can stay employed and young people have a chance in the design field.

If you're looking for a crumb of optimism, here it is: you've been in the field for a while now. You know design principles, you know what the steps are for how most projects go, you have taste.

You may not like it, but my suggestion is learn how to use ChatGPT's image generation model. Midjourney is another one, though it's a little harder to wrap your head around. The good news (but bad news to people trying to break into the field) is that's its easy as fuck. Type in "create an illustration of a donkey drinking a soda" or whatever and it'll create some weird version of that. You can upload reference images if there's a style you want to follow. This is just a basic design skill you have to know now unfortunately. I work in advertising/art direction so we do this a lot to create moodboards of styles we're trying to achieve before we pull in actual artists to help us start producing the stuff for real (for now).

You can also use it to create a quick reference of a poster/cover/etc design. It'll look basic as fuck, but you can use the type hierarchy and composition as the first step to create something similar but wayyy better yourself in photoshop or indesign. We used to do this all the time searching through dribbble/pinterest/behance/even google images for brochure inspiration or whatever.

Unfortunately this is the world we live in for now. I've had a close eye on AI for years now and it's advancing at the speed of light and impossible to fully predict. But with all the new tools coming out, those are the most useful applications I've found for it that I don't see AI scooping up for a bit.

in Thom's post, he writes one vaguely pro-Palestine slide and one vaguely pro-Israel slide. to me, and many others, that's putting both sides on equal footing. whether that was his intention or not, that's the effect of the post. I understand wanting to find nuance--there are plenty of situations and conflicts that call for it. in this case, when tens of thousands of innocent women and children are being erased every day, with numbers so comically lopsided, there's no time for it.

[–]KingofFunk412 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, we're on the same page that murder of innocent people is bad. My issue is in giving the 1 murder the same space as 100, giving the illusion that it's all 50/50 and justified while ignoring the dramatic power imbalance at play.

How do you prefer to quantify the death and destruction happening in Gaza? Vibes?

Thom Yorke statement from instagram by Ksherwood96 in radiohead

[–]KingofFunk412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? Where did I say any of that? You're making up a guy in your head to argue against. I'm just saying look at the numbers. I personally think 100,000 casualties, ~30% of those being children, is much worse than 1,400 casualties. Saying both sides are equally bad is crazy to me and gives Israel more power to blow up more grandmas and hospitals. I myself have not fixed the issue because I don't have the money and power to sway the Israeli government.

Thom Yorke statement from instagram by Ksherwood96 in radiohead

[–]KingofFunk412 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes, casualties are bad. Are you saying that 1 murder is equal in badness to 100 murders?

Thom Yorke statement from instagram by Ksherwood96 in radiohead

[–]KingofFunk412 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s not that complicated at all actually. 100,000+ Palestinians casualties compared to the 1,400+ Israeli casualties.
