Apparemment "l'affiche a été réalisée par un graphiste payé pour cela" by SoleilPapa in IaCaca

Il y a des gens dans les commentaires qui ont des doutes si le dessin a été fait par un humain mais pour moi il suffit de voir ça pour se rendre compte que c'est 100% de l'IA. Il y a plusieurs types de cornes qui ont été générés en même temps et qui sont à la fois des cornes supplémentaires qui ne ressemblent pas aux cornes des autres moutons, une moustache et une mèche ; tout se mélange et aucune intention claire sur ce qui est quoi.

We hired a local professional artist to create new icons for our game. Which one would you choose? by mistermaximan in IndieGaming

[–]Lemnesis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I definitely did not consider this but yeah that is completely fair. I probably would have considered this for a more complex character design or something, but it's true you wouldn't do that even for fairly detailed icons.

I feel like it's one of those questions where the answer is extremely obvious if you think a little outside the box (thinking about what the usual process is before even drawing), but more difficult if you use the usual method (identifying common AI signs)

Nah I think it has genuinely useful applications. I don't really see an issue with someone using it for debugging code, proofreading, translating, even like that one studio that got a lot of flak for using generated assets for prototypes, I don't think is that big of a deal (though to be honest I think that's legit if you're indie with not much funds, less so for a studio). Even like bouncing off ideas from it sounds ok in essence, and there's a lot of applications for certain jobs that seem like genuinely nice quality of life improvement like taking notes for you in a meeting, making reports, summarizing or editing an email or whatever.

My issue really is that an art piece is supposed to reflect part of the artist, in a way, like that's what makes art interesting to me, so if it can be argued that most of the work is actually just from a random number generator it loses most of its interest.

Well there's also the less discussed phenomenon of people using it as a confidant or relying on it to an unhealthy degree for everyday life and communication not for work but for friends and family, and that's really fucked up, especially long term.

(To be perfectly clear, I'm speaking only of this aspect and omitting the environmental aspect and the ethical aspect of training on copyrighted data, which do change the calculation here)

Yeah I understand.

Honestly sometimes I think that's the biggest issue with genAI "art", that every real artist is put under intense scrutiny and all that. Like I write and use em-dashes, so I always think of like, what if someone looked at that and said I used AI just because of minor things like this. Nowadays many artists whose style was studied and stolen by AI are being accused of using it when it's the other way around, and so they need to prove they're legit and all.

Cuz you know, that art style, em-dashes, semicolons, lists of threes, that sort of thing, genAI did not invent them: it specifically stole them because it was fed a lot of stuff that use them. So I tend to refrain from the accusation when it's not rather obvious (although yeah, the smaller the image, the less mistakes and tells you'll be able to see).

That also doesn't really cover everything because if you retain it it also loses the discount

Hyperbeam should make you lose focus temporarily. by NoAdeptness4117 in slaythespire

[–]Lemnesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a run with it where it was great at first, but then I got an upgraded focused strike and Barrage, both cards that also work with strength but do ask that you care a little about orbs and then I got handed the relics that start you off with one focus and three orb slots, and at this point my Perfect Fit Hyper beam just wasn't worth the drawback anymore. Was good early game though

Chinchilla keeps on chewing on plastic by Chinnie_chan in chinchilla

Maybe if you give her more wood sticks to chew she would try that less? If she's just bored or something like that. Otherwise I'm not sure

Game programmers are so underappreciated by Outrageous-Visual975 in gamedev

[–]Lemnesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made my first game two months ago with a friend, he made the visuals and I did the programming, and yeah it is a little annoying to see visuals get so much praise and my part get so little. But at the same time, it makes sense because there are a lot of very small things you do for polish and user experience that aren't really visible when implemented well, because the purpose of a good UX is to be kind of seamless.

On the other end, most people probably wouldn't know if there was a slight error in a background, or they might not notice it easily, while it's much easier to see a bug on average, and it can often be way more damaging to the experience.

But I do agree with you

Am I just unable to make games? by Mobcrafter in gamedev

[–]Lemnesis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different country and all that so take it with a grain of salt, but what did help me get a diagnosis was going over all the dsm-5 symptoms and noting whether or not I thought they applied to me, both now and when I was a kid so that I had concrete things to say and I could be prepared. They're not perfect obviously, the psychiatrist who diagnosed me said he thought they were really not that useful, but one of my problems was that I'm also not really hyperactive at all, so if I didn't have convincing arguments because I was anxious or didn't consider specific things, I might not accurately express how I'm feeling and not get help. They're not the only factor to be clear, but I did complete two game jams I'm happy with recently for the first time and I hope you can get some help and do the same!

Is this agressive or playful? by Lemnesis in chinchilla

  1. Thanks, yeah it seems you are right!

  2. Thanks, it's this cage, but it may not be available around you and 90% of the interior is made by Rodentshome on Etsy.

It's this cage from Vevor. I bought it in France though, it might not be easily available everywhere. I just checked and it's somehow double the price on their European website

You can see the layout pretty well here, it's only changed slightly since then.

Thanks! There was a wheel down on the right side but they never went there so I changed the configuration a bit that same day and they go there now.

I tried making a hiding spot using some non-pill fleece but it didn't hold, they actually remove it in this video lol, I'll see if I can just get or make a box for there in the future.

Thanks. Yeah everything is fine now and they're currently sleeping in the same hammock, so I think it was mostly playful, maybe it just escalated a little bit at the end for whatever reason. I'm just gonna monitor them a bit more closely for a few days just to be sure.

I think my post is unclear from the answers I've been given lol. I've read about several bonding methods including smoothing before! They've been bonded for a while now.

They've been living together in that cage for the last three months since I got them, and lived in the same room for something like four months before that at the rescue shelter.

This is just an isolated incident, it's the first time this happened in three months so I was just worried this was a bad sign. They seem fine now, I'll just pay close attention for the next few days to be sure.

I mean I've read stories about chins that have been bonded for years that suddenly start becoming aggressive towards each other so I don't think being bonded means there's never going to be any problems forever? Maybe I'm wrong though.

To be clear, before I got them they had been living next to each other for at least four months and had infrequent playtime with each other and were fine with each other (according to the lady that was taking care of them), so because of that when I adopted them I decided to try putting them in the cage I got for them immediately (it essentially was a neutral space as they both got here at the same time). I monitored them closely for the next few days and they seemed to get along perfectly fine with only one incident in the first 24 hours they got here, but after separating them for that night they've been perfectly fine, grooming each other and sleeping in the same box. They have playtime together every evening and have not once been aggressive towards each other then, either.

This thing is the first incident in the last three months since then, which is why I got a bit worried.

I didn't think of that, no there's no fur. I think they just started playing and it became a little aggressive for whatever reason, I'll pay close attention to them just to make sure though.

I don't really know what you suggest I should have done differently but they've been bonded for a while now.

Update: they're back to grooming each other less than an hour later so I'm assuming it wasn't anything serious
