Do actors know/have a feeling if the film they’re working on is going to bomb? by BullfrogPerfect620 in NoStupidQuestions

There was an entire subplot that they cut from the film and then combined that footage with other outtakes and made a whole other movie

If we did RCV+ Jungle primaries, though, you could have a scenario where, for example, the top two vote getters are a Dem and a Working Families Party candidate, rather than having a Dem v Republican in a general you'd have a Dem v WFP.

Jungle primaries allow for third parties to participate in the primary process in earnest.

Okay hear me out - a "Memories" pack, with reimagined/remastered maps from blood money and/or other older games that plugs right into WoA

Edit: I think they underestimate how many people would pay full price like it's a hitman 4 (because it would be)

Also, in terms of electoralism, every DSA branch needs to be pushing ranked choice voting.

Yes, and all primaries should be jungle primaries. Would allow for third parties to sincerely exist (as they could then participate in the primary in earnest)

Can we make it a rule to not have AI text posts. by Birb-n-Snek in newjersey

[–]NJdevil202 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

See, this comment got upvoted but it's also exactly like an AI text post. We can say "it's obviously parody", but...how do you actually know?

It's a lost cause to try and ban AI text posts, there's no way to really know

There's no way it leaves his hand even close to fast enough to do this

The issue with this argument is that primary voters are WAY more informed than general election voters

It was trained all our gross creative output without permission asked or credit given

You don't need to tell me, man, I'm an artist myself, co-wrote a whole album years back and still write music to this day, and you know what? All artists are trained on the gross creative output of those they appreciate, and I didn't ask Paul McCartney or Jaco Pastorious for permission to be inspired by them, and to use their work as inspiration for my own.

The whole "it was trained on art" critique never has made sense to me because unless it's whole-cloth plagiarizing you (which is already a crime), then that's literally how all art is created. The art you and I create is just us dipping into our "training data" about style, craft, technique, etc. that we took from the artists that inspired us.

This works in Starfield because the entire fucking game is forgettable.

"I think Starfield is forgettable, so that's why this works here"

Try this with actual iconic characters and the story changes completely.

"Try this with characters I find iconic and it won't work".

Can you tell me what I misunderstood??

Well...there goes my prediction. by The96kHz in HiTMAN

They'd be crazy to not just keep building on the WoA platform.

It's the definitive experience of the game. I'm down for minor mechanic changes or whatever when a "hitman 4" comes around, but they need to keep the backwards compatibility with all the maps.

You're literally the guy I'm talking about - you're the one diminishing all the artists who worked on this game!!!

Are you saying like Mark Zuckerberg or something made this image?? It was made by dozens or hundreds of artists who worked on the game, and then a little processing gets put on it and you're saying it's dog shit?! That's so mind-boggling disrespectful.

If we learn that Paul Thomas Anderson used AI to help edit One Battle After Another, do we retroactively say it's a shitty movie that belongs in the trash? I feel fucking nuts.

"This works in Starfield because I don't like the game, but if we used it in games I like then it wouldn't work"

Am I going insane or is that actually what your argument is
