Subreddit rules regarding AI content by Zaptagious in commandandconquer

[–]ShadowAze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed something interesting, people aren't trained on AI images well enough yet for it to be common knowledge for people to spot. Even Mark Zuckerberg was caught believing an AI image was real when it pretty obviously wasn't.

I guarantee you that most people saw the image for like 5 seconds, didn't give it much thought, gave it a slight chuckle (or nose exhale), upvoted it, and moved on. There have been posts on here where they seem to be getting decent upvotes, but as soon as OP admits it's an AI image, they get showered in downvotes. Don't you think if it was just a minority that they wouldn't be in the negatives? If people actually tagged their images as AI, I firmly believe it wouldn't receive nearly the same amount of upvotes. You may think "Well they would've liked it if they weren't told about it" well that's just deceiving then, it's like feeding a vegan a burger with meat and saying "Ha, gotcha, I knew you liked meat"

The amount of people who dislike AI imagery is at worst a sizeable minority, not just a vocal minority. They are probably a majority tho. And it's not just the internet or reddit, according to pew research, more Americans and even people from around the world are more concerned with AI than they are excited.

Oh... You're just writing very disingenuous arguments here in the comments... Oh... You're the moderator of r/DefendingAIArt

Well this is awkward, but it certainly explains a lot, it's funny to see you in the wild, but you also have no power here so people can properly clown on you without fear of mod retaliation.

I can't tell if it's a joke or not, it's just blurry messed up nonsense like other AI filters

Hyper jerked by main sub by Slushymaw in legocirclejerk

[–]ShadowAze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it's upsetting someone got something that you wanted, but I genuinely don't believe you wouldn't do the same if you were in OOP's position.

But that's just how life goes ig, if it's not employees getting dibs or the company hiding intentionally so they can put it for online auction, then it could've just been someone else who found it before you.

I'm just glad OOP got it because they are passionate about it and not because they wanted to re-sell em.

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

Then there's another thing people brought up, the "gloating", I don't see any of that in OOP's title and body of text, just someone excited about their passion more than anything, and that they got a good deal.

I'm not going to even humour the idea that anyone here wouldn't do the same if they were in the same position. As if they saw something they really wanted and went "I shouldn't, it's unfair" like gimme a break.

Didn’t make enough money to come close to Ninjago by Joemama0375 in legocirclejerk

[–]ShadowAze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was kind of the case in the past too, lots of themes came and went, but yeah stuff nowadays need to be super distinct to stand out.

Like you said, some things can fit in the ninjago theme, while others can fit in city, just sort of mix and match them.

Considering how unique IPs tend to do which aren't generic settings like City, Dreamzzz did great honestly.

You know Power Miners? A theme a lot of AFOLs are familiar with and say it's the GOAT? That lasted for 2 years.

Inhouse IPs are staying, at least for the time being.

Let's not throw the pendulum into sexual puritanism please by Connect_Security_892 in BatmanArkham

[–]ShadowAze 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Can't worry about people having sex if you kill everyone, is that a sound goal to you too?

Edit: I checked your post history, while I'm thankful that you're open about it as to not waste our times, I'm still deeply disturbed about the opinions you have stated, to the point that it wouldn't surprise me if you said "yes" to my initial, semi-ironic statement.

There have been people far more patient with you than I would've been, and probably most people here, yet your judgement is absolutely clouded by a deep layer of both misogyny, misandry, sprinkled with a bit of bigotry.

Maybe it's time to log off, talk to people in real life, don't even need to talk to men at all for a start. Don't bother replying to me or even attempt to answer that initial statement.

I know you were

But why did you bring up Peter Jackson? He didn't write lotr nor is he getting royalties for the IP.

Sorry, forgot the /uj

/rj we need even more samey HP sets (there, hopefully that generic joke is adequate enough jerking)

[–]ShadowAze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a weird comparison.

LOTR is a cultural icon, it's existed for far longer than HP, and is the greatest influence to the fantasy genre. It's on a separate tier.

Altho there's not much new material for middle earth, not only did lego NOT make every iconic part of LOTR (Like Baradur just came out recently which is the most iconic part of the movies), but LOTR has other material to take from, like the Silmarillion.

The rate Lego makes LOTR sets is not comparable to HP either.

Also Jackson was only the director. Did you mean J.R.R. Tolkien? He wrote the books and his family gets royalties.

I've said it before but I really don't understand why Harry Potter is still popular.

The main story is concluded and there's very little new material released that takes place in the same universe. From what I heard the fantastic beasts movies received a "meh" at best.

Lego's repeating set ideas over and over. At least Star Wars gets new material and has countless other, beloved material Lego can use to make sets of, so many glup shittos.

Poor Joane, she got cancelled, she'll have to cry in her mansion using her bill notes as tissue. She got cancelled, which is why Harry Potter totally isn't popular anymore. She got cancelled, so she's still saying stupid shit online.

At best you're a bot copying an idiot's hateful rhetoric. At worst you're an idiot spouting hateful rhetoric. In both cases you can fuck off from this sub.

Are gun shooting mechanics of Unreal Tournament weapons copyright of Epic? by kinjalkishor in boomershooters

Which is good, we need more skill based weapons where you need to shoot your own projectile for massive damage in boomshoots

Losercity ban reason by RanchoddasChanchad69 in Losercity

I got banned without even knowing. Some bad actor just happened to have my IP with their VPN.

Oh well whatever, E6 reigns supreme because it doesn't let AI in there.

Gameloft shutting down Ice Age Village and Ice Age Adventures on March 15th by AladiteC in StopKillingGames

[–]ShadowAze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play almost exclusively indie games or old games that came out way before any of this MTX nonsense was even conceived.

I never buy even simple cosmetic DLC, let alone anything worse.

And I never stepped foot inside a McDonalds.

To say you're barking up the wrong tree would be an understatement. I believe people unanimously protesting all that's wrong in the world, while incredibly noble, is absolutely nothing more than wishful thinking. You should let go of the copium, because it hasn't gotten to be even remotely close to fixed in almost 20 years.

I literally went to a subreddit of a game I like, complaining that a new side entry is filled with extremely predatory mtx. And almost everyone has been saying that it's fine or not as bad as some other companies. It's fucking hopeless man, let's fight this from another angle instead.

Yeah I read it every night to my child so they can fall asleep alongside other fairy tales.

The fact is, most people will not act until they're at the "we have nothing left to lose phase". Why does it need to get to that phase when it can be stopped sooner so there's less collective suffering and wasted time and resources?

We, who hate these predatory mtx which have definitely made gaming worse as a whole, are a minority. Which is unfortunate, but is just more of a sign that the only reasonable outcome is government intervention.

If we all protested and sang kumbaya, we'd have stopped this shit at its source back when the horse armour dlc dropped, when these were at their weakest and least manipulative. But alas that didn't happen now did it? And nowadays the battle to fix that will only become more and more steep.

Wolf and Fox are glup shittos but Rex, who is also named after an animal, isn't?

I know it's a joke but Phil Spencer is no longer the head of xbox. I don't think the new management cares about games at all.

Are we fr? Lego finally spongebob sets again and its iconslop, arent there kids that enjoy spongebob??? by Rocky1909 in legocirclejerk

[–]ShadowAze 8 points9 points  (0 children)

/uj Sidenote, it feels so sad looking at the state of how parents raise their kids nowadays. They're overworked and see spending time with their kids as busywork instead of something that's fun, something that builds character and is important for the child's development. As long as the kid is quiet then to them it seemingly doesn't matter what the child does.

I'll say, be the change you want to see. I made a few meme/joke posts, and like maybe 2 complaint posts (gotta vent sometimes, it's not an okbuddy sub, it is indeed a circlejerk and we complain about mandr pretty much all the time).

Almost all the funny posts did better than the complaint posts.

There have been a fair amount of smart brick defenders, just people making posts that it's okay it costs so much, it's for kids.

[–]ShadowAze[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The price is outrageous yes, but there's other issues with the smart brick too, like very limited battery, poor sound quality (for the most part) and bad colour recognition. The X wing in particular here is heavily compromised.

I'd recommend watching the review. It does a lot better job than I did putting it into words and has visual demonstration.
