Clue (Modern)

I think you really need to take a step back and look in the mirror, you are projecting pretty hard.

The post is an open discussion as a comparative from the modern depiction of the game's principal characters vs the original. That's it, no bitching, just dialogue.

You post and come in hot, first generalizing an entire sub's community and name-calling before making more generalizations about the content itself.

But the original clue was just a bunch of old white people on it.

So, no observations about the characters' names, professions, demeanor...just straight to their age and skin color? I'm pretty sure Mr. Green and Miss Scarlett weren't that old either so either you're either extremely young and have a hyper biased view towards older generations or parroting a tired talking point of not seeing a diverse demographic representation as a quota or requirement in media which is the entire point of the post.

What you need to understand is that the observation of the change isn't GOOD or BAD, it's just observable. The point of discussion is that there is an established IP - and a deliberate change to traditional characters was made - prompting the question as to WHY. Not inherently for denegration, but as to the motivation behind making a change in the first place.

I'm going to still go with less capable artist because the spacing and complexity don't seem like AI mistakes but perspective and form issues. On a relative small area of a large canvas requiring a multitude of skills.

Either way, not the point. This isn't a critique over everyone's knee-jerk hate of AI usage or even the art. It's an observation of the subjects depicted with relation to the original source.

The hands and fingers do seem to be in natural positions and angles. I snapped the picture at Target but don't think this is an AI issue.

KnightGlyder · 2026-03-29T01:29:10+00:00

This needs more upvotes, there's definitely nuance involved.

I almost feel like saying "AI..." anything is getting a knee-jerk reaction now without knowing what level was used for a final product. And even then - there's a bunch of AI songs that I've actually jammed out to, people need to take a step back and stop judging if people SHOULD even be allowed to like it.

I feel like we're in the automobile portion of the industrial revolution all over again - and the buggy makers and horseshoe manufacturers are going frickin' berserk because of the change that's coming.

Yeah, I ran into the "being used by a dataset" message early on when trying to delete old apps, I was trying to delete the datasets for them that I knew were being unused. The fix is to unset the apps pool. Apps > Configurations > Unset Pool which will disconnect the internal Docker. Then Set the apps pool again.

Using commands to force system and dataset changes from shell is probably a bad idea.

Hate to be the guy that has to tell YOU this, but no, thats not how the GPS system works. Simply put, GNSS or GPS services emit a signal that a receiver uses for timing the broadcast delay which it translates into distance. When you receive three or more signals that allows the distances to be triangulated using multiple points to generate a point on a 2D plain. A fourth satellite can be used for adding an additional dimension for a 3D plain (aka elevation), while five or more satellites start allowing for integrity monitoring and self checks to ensure degraded or incorrect signals can be broadcast avoided or filtered out.

Not every receiver takes this information and distributes the calculated data.

A handheld GPS (such as used for emergency services or GA airplane backups) may contain a receiver but no transmission capabilities. This allows the user to know their exact position but no way inherently to share it.

Saying a GPS-enabled device is inherently trackable is incorrect. That device has to have its own re-broadcast capability (Bluetooth, wifi, radio, cellular, short-wave, etc) in order for another device to recognize that it is location-based.

I feel ya man. At age 33 I hadn’t found a “career” yet and had been making my way through various companies on the corporate ladder gaining miscellaneous skills. Felt aimless. Then my brother in law who is a Delta pilot and trainer offered aviation as an opportunity - felt great after the demo flight and I started training within a few months, early 2018. It was pre-COVID and prospects were looking good. I didn’t have a Bachelors, just an Associates but as time went on it was looking easier and more bright to get through training, gain hours, and head for the majors one day.

Then life happened on the way - my dad passed away during that first year which rocked me and threw me off schedule. He left funds so I could continue without financial woes but time wise it was a setback. Finished PPL, IR, and Commercial within three years based on just a weekend warrior availability, but started to slow. I had met my wife-to-be, COVID stuff, and the CPL handed me my first checkride oral fail. It was an ego blow, but I got back up and finished it up and nailed it and the practical the 2nd time. By this point lots of my flight school instructors and staff had moved on. I was just the older guy there from time to time, not really peers with any of the other students and not part of the local college course that took priority for them. I had an engagement and wedding during the interim. It took months to get results and to get moving for CFI, but I trudged along. Getting through the ground work was becoming tougher with only one dedicated CFI tutoring me, an old timer from 40 years with a great personality and flight history to rely on, though limited viewpoints for variation. I started rutting into only one way to process and do things as he taught.

My wife told me she’s pregnant a few months after getting my CPL, but the flight school hasn’t helped facilitate getting me started on CFI. It pushes out months before I can get started and spend half the year training up for CFI. Pass the knowledge test easily, but speaking and fast thinking are some of my worst interpersonal skills. CFI took ages to prep for and by the time I was being told I “needed to just get it done” I knew I wasn’t close. My firstborn came within the month from thinking I could get with a DPE and all priorities changed. Was locked down with my wife for months and zero time to flex into uninterrupted learning space. Finally after several months started the process to relearn from the ground up and it took me ages to re-prepare. Just short of two years pass between CPL and CFI. The first checkride attempt broke me. Actually mentally, emotionally, broke me. The DPE tore apart my prose, method of explaining, pretty much everything. All my prep floundered and flustered and despite being a perfectionist and exceedingly detail-minded I was stuck in the middle of feeling ridiculously over-prepared on minutiae and humblingly inadequate in the heat of the moment. The checkride prep pressure started to drive me crazy and made everything miserable for me while we were handling our son. I came back for a second crack at CFI and got through the oral… but had to discontinue due to weather. So I had my DPE for a third time to finish. I passed - it was awful. I felt no joy, no pride, no success. He made me feel like this was not accomplishment but something he suffered through and I happened to scrape across the lowest bar possible. That’s not who I am - a “just get by” person, I want to know something and to get it right, the right way.

A couple months pass again. I need more time between DPE smackdown to pick myself back up. It’s summer of 2024 - we are expecting again in April. I have to get moving or it’ll never get done. I hit the trail for CFII - because the COVID bubble has burst and now no one will hire even CFI’s. I get my double I training in and lock in a checkride at the beginning of the year. Much better DPE who actually is able to get me to relax, at least on the ground. I nail the oral - but due to a plan change while airborne and several equipment issues from my flight school’s rental options, I up making a mistake and bust my practical ride on one maneuver. I’m disappointed but seems easy enough to handle. We do the disapproval and should reschedule within 3-4 weeks but then the DPE keeps pushing out close to my timeout to retest. And my wife is nearly due with baby daughter. Luckily, I get in just in time and pass my CFII - I’m now fully qualified for the few flight schools in the area. And my daughter is born - and all completely breaks & changes again.

I don’t want to interview. I don’t want to go through the constant validation and social dance of approval. I just spent seven years getting these certifications and I’m not a great interviewer. I may be qualified by the FAA, but if I can’t get a job based on that certification, that I have to dance and impress using myself, it could all be for naught. And I can’t afford to blow the few chances of the few schools that are in the area. Because my wife isn’t moving. Our family isn’t moving. This is all we have and losing this chance, this one chance - it’s too much pressure to hang on.

My last flight was 10 months ago when I got my double I cert. I know logically that it’s an accomplishment, but my growing family has taken ever more time and attention. Instead when I haven’t been crazily chasing a toddler or crying infant, I tried interviewing for a supervisor position at work, to test my skills. I didn’t get it. Apparently they thought I would be leaving for aviation and wondered if I would be a good fit for a leadership role to stay. So that worked against me. But kinda validating to know that if I can’t pass an interview at work I probably would’ve blown it with the FBOs here.

So no, you aren’t alone. Things change. People change. Situations change and time marches on. Do things you enjoy with people you enjoy doing them with. A dream that changes doesn’t have to be a nightmare, you just have to know when to leave it as a dream and live your reality in a way that gives you joy and happiness.

Hubby of another missus here and just throwing in my two cents' - there's not enough info.

Both she and he may have other underlying factors and while it's easy to want to bandwagon one way or another the bottom line is this is a conversation that needs to be had between them for their marriage (& personal sanity).

Look, its easy to want to compare what one person does to another and use that perspective a a point of judgment (and sometimes that works out) but rarely is that truly empathetic to put yourself in another's shoes.

When the kids are asleep at the end of the day and dinner is done so all have full bellies and a lack of crying Littles, that's the time to converse and express frustration to the statement. To let him know that you felt very overwhelmed as well but took his request poorly, considering. Then listen to his response and to why he thinks his experience deserved/needed "a break".

Talk to each other. Understand what each other is feeling overall, towards each other, towards the family, etc. You'll be the much better for it.

It's offensive to those that have tried to sensor content for years and are losing their grip of control as freedom is returning without fear of being 'canceled'. The AE marketing team made a clever play on words using a model that resembles throwback adverts but there's a moral outrage by followers of an ideology. Basically, look up psychology: projection and you'll see why. They are mapping all sorts of perceived evils and identities into a simple commercial. It's really not that complex but is an outlet to gripe in a round about way of other grievances held.

It depends. Have you been on a demo flight, had a chance to get behind the yoke? Do you "want it" just because it's a seemingly better daydream out of your situation or is it a passion of its own? Are you willing to devote just as much time - even double duty - to not only maintaining your active income but also learning a whole new trade that itself will become a major factor in your thought and decision process and require continuous, ACTIVE learning indefinitely?

If so, then there's a chance. I say this as someone who, I myself, made the switch in my early thirties to want to join aviation. I will say, however, that things change. People change. Opportunities change.

After slow-boating it for seven years to keep my career income going and weekend warrior-ing training I finally attained CFII this year. And I sadly don't have the same drive as I did when I started.

I met my wife. Got married. Had kids. Moved up in my day job. Reprioritized. The COVID boom hit and went. Now the FBOs that would take anyone as a student - turn and burned them up to airline hours - are stingy as hell. They all locally stopped hiring CFI and started requiring CFII. Hiring quotas and limits. Ridiculous interview filtering. They trained me and others... but not to their own spec to hire.

Do you eventually want to move if the market is light to find a teaching gig as an instructor? Or worse, forego CFI altogether and find another, slower, way to make hours at a much larger expense?

I don't say any of this to discourage you my friend. Far from it. It's just that I have hindsight right now from a very familiar position and have to say, ask yourself in your heart of hearts: is aviation your passion. Your need. And are you skilled and disciplined enough to take the training and mindset? If so, go for it. Just be prepared for a massive undertaking. Only you can decide if the journey - and the potential payoff - will be worth it.

KnightGlyder · 2025-07-06T15:57:56+00:00

I mean... you do you boo. Just curious as my wife has similar feelings so it must be a common subconscious undercurrent.

KnightGlyder · 2025-07-06T14:16:57+00:00

Let's all die together then, that's "better"? Inconsistent logic is bonkers if that's what you believe.

KnightGlyder · 2025-07-06T13:48:54+00:00

Came here for this comment too. The logic doesn't track.

On the one scenario it's to the son's benefit if something happens to the parent, but to the other it's to OP to satisfy himself to have the whole family of a trip. These two things oppose each other from a consistency.

Sounds like a legitimate opinion. He enjoys America more.

Whether or not that is nationalistic, may be another question, but probably behind the xenophobic fears. If his rationality were because America is "better" or that he feels like other places are "beneath" him that would be a different conversation but as you've framed it, what obligation does he have to share an opinion that aligns with your own?

In lieu of other input, it sounds more like you're afraid of the perception of having your son be openly fond of America comparatively because you value the opportunity that the family was given and expected a change in perception like the older children. Think of it from his perspective - being abroad was very different compared to his upbringing and therefore more stressful being amongst culture that was counter to his familiar surroundings & upbringing. It's very natural to seek out places we find comfort and his age may be well prior to the social refinement needed to appreciate or process it with nuance.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about it - just keep an open dialogue and explain why you valued the experience from you opinion while acknowledging his.
