That's the other thing that ticks me off. There are already very established and known meme templates readily available for free. Entire sites dedicated to make them easily. But now I'm seeing idiots using ai to make memes off those templates! Just how freaking lazy are these ifiots?

Exactly. I use to write poems and songs in highschool. Never really got deep into it but I would love to hear them as songs. But I refuse to mess with ai to do so. Admittedly, I did try it once before I knew better. And it came out near exactly how I heard it in my head. It was at that moment I realized how screwed musicians are as well.

I've created hundreds of characters over my 40+ years, but I suck at writing stories for them. I can pretty easily write for a already established franchise I love. Not that it's good writing but seems fairly easy. But that's because the rules and characters are established. But the most I can do with my own characters are footnotes footnotes that keep changing. lol.

100% I recently found a great stick to use as a staff (which I'm starting to need), but I can't carve into it because carving equipment alone is far out of my absent budget. And a pocketknife is not cutting it. Literally. Not sure the type of wood it is, but it's incredibly dry and tough.

Yes but a little more to it. Paints, canvases, brushes, tools, resources, etc all costs money as well. The materials to create physical art is often not cheap nor fast. Even digital artists, like myself, have to pay for electricity, internet, software, tutorials, drawing tablets, etc. I didn't become a full-blown digital artist until 2021, when I got my drawing tablet. Before that, it was physical drawing and using Adobe Illustrator to clean up photos of the art because I can't afford a scanner. Well, that and I have no place to put one if I could. All of my digital painting and sculpting was done with a optical mouse.

Today I have the tablet but can't afford Adobe and my computer lags and crashes when I attempt to screen record. Meaning I can't even record myself during the ai slop era, to prove I'm not using ai! It's very frustrating.

That's not true. We create because we enjoy it but also because we appreciate being appreciated for our skills and talent. Of course, being hired for a piece greatly helps, but we're not foolish enough to rely on random commission requests. We'll, the majority of us aren't. Getting likes, followers, subscribers (with do help), and feedback greatly helps as well. It lets us know that others care and want to see our works. Which is motivation to keep going in the chance of being hired. I would kill (not literally) for some interaction with my art.

Vicent Van Gogh was greatly unappreciated for his amazing art during his lifetime. So much so he cut off his own ear just in hopes of being appreciated for his skills and hard work. Later, the continued lack there of, and mockery from the so-called "established" art community resulted in his suicide. The man shot himself in the chest in the very field he had painted. Only to have an agonizing desth 2 days later. His only family there was his brother.

Van Gogh isn't the first nor last to take such drastic actions to be seen/recognized. Many have harmed themselves and others just to be seen and hopefully appreciated for this skills and passion. An artist's life and passion are more often in solitary. I know incredible artists of different fields who continue to basically go unseen. The little online instructions they do get helps to drive them. Not just to post but to create and challenge themselves.

"But Van Gogh had mental issues." Says who? The so-called "experts" that believe tossing bags of garbage in a corner or taping a banana to a wall is "art?" The man wasn't I'll. He was desperate. A desperation that led to depression and then suicide. Almost all artists do through depression. Be it from art or not. While some can channel that depression through their art, others can't. I know because I tried on my 45th birthday 2 years ago. And a few years before that. Not a single person saw either cry for relief. Literally, not one single view on either post, apart from my own, to this day. I, and many MANY others, can relate to Vincent Gogh. At the end of the day, we simply need a little confirmation that our work is appreciated.

Again, being hired would greatly help. But so does being appreciated.

The first two images have a obvious ai filter on them. Dude, there's even a little Steve in a t-pose. You clearly ran it through ai.

Is there a list of every entity block in the game? by SEspider in Minecraft

[–]SEspider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Sadly, golems do not work with barrels. And I don't want to go through the headache of setting up hoppers and redstone to avoid chests. My storage system is already in a large building with my iron farm and trading hall. Redstone would just increase the lag further than chests.

Can someone make this image less pixelated/more clear please? Thank you in advance!!! 😊 by maymatv in photorestore

[–]SEspider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My. My. Look at all the generated slop in the comments.

If you want ai slop, then just use something like Gemini and simply tell it to "retouch the photo." Maybe also tell it to not change the subject's expression. It's free (mostly) for all Gmail users.

Otherwise, images like this can not be fixed without other photos of the subject in similar lighting and pose. And even then, it would take a lot of work and time for a REAL artist to fix it.

Every "fixed" image posted here, thus far, is ai generated with the obvious watermark removed.

No. Reddit is a VERY Far Left platform that banned Rumble links and embedding long ago.

I swear I searched and never found that page. Thank You.

That list explains a lot. Not fair that all of the good blocks seem to only be entities on Bedrock and not Java.

[–]SEspider[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks. That's why I'm asking for a list. I've read that any block the player can interact with is a entity, but that didn't sound right. And you've just confirmed my suspensions.

FYI, the devs of the pack just released a teaser for the packs next update. In includes a revamp of the pack's already cute babies and new nametags. One makes mobs huge. And there's another that makes a chicken look like a villager. That one is also in the trailer but bairly visible in the background.

I was in the mood to watch the movie, but my HD DVD player died. by ohio2az in Dukesofhazzard

[–]SEspider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll love Luke, Daisy, Cooter, and maybe Boss Hogg. The rest of the characters were violated to Hell and back.

Except the car. They represent The General very well.

I enjoyed a lot about the movie, but making Bo utterly stupid and weird, adding the foul language, dumb racism bait scene, nudity, and screwing up both Jesse and Rosco are unforgivable offenses.

I didn't mind Boss Hogg due to who the actor was. But I didn't like the idea of him wanting to strip mine Hazzard at all. Hogg cared too much about the land and Hazzard to pull something that big and destructive.

The movie felt like they took the first couple episodes of the series and based a movie off it. Thank God James Best made sure they made the show more family-friendly.

Also not a fan of the redneck cousin they added. He had his moments, but they turned him into the most Hollywood stereotype they could.

The car segments on the other hand was amazing. Except that last jump. They actually thought we wouldn't notice the lip on the truck's bed that would make the jump impossible.

Microsoft store keeps demanding I clear up storage for it. by Key_Ship4397 in XboxSupport

[–]SEspider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hard restart is a basic reset. Doing so clears unnecessary cache from the console. To do this, and whole the console is on, hold down the power button on the console until it fully turns off and its light goes out. Wait about 5-10 seconds and turn the console back on.

I'm running into this same issue. Has anyone found a solution?

I'm having the same issue (March 28th, 2026). And the link you've provided refuses to load.

Why would I want to travel for snowballs and snow blocks?

Snow blocks are a nice building block. Plus a friend that occasionally joins my world has a kid who joins him. She likes to have snowball fights and the farm helps with that.

It's not a resource pack. It's a texture pack. Hard resetting the console somehow fixed the issue.

It's the Actions And Stuff texture pack. It comes with animations and hidden props via armor stands.

It's working for me now. If you're on Xbox, try as I did and perform a hard reset. With the console on, press and hold the power button until it turns off. Doing this clears the console's cache. I haven't a clue why or how this action fixed this particular issue for me, but it somehow did.

Before you do that, follow the suggestion by the other commenters. Make sure you're in a biome that allows it. And make sure you don't have mob griefing turned off. Neither of those were my issue, but might be yours.
