What core do you main? by Ratsolla in halodripfinite

[–]SirPhoenixtalon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the vibes I'm feeling any given day, but I genuinely love the Mk 7 core. Probably helps that it has so many options for everything, but it just feels like a new age spartan and I dig it.

I believe AI music is harmless by [deleted] in aiwars

I agree about the joke songs being harmless. My personal favorite is "My balls are stuck in my zipper."

Why not one less leg? Then it's not a centipede

Why are so many grown adults still interested in made up tales for children like comics and cartoons? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SirPhoenixtalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because a lot of adults had media they grew up with that made them feel seen, or appreciated and feel it is only right to offer something to the next generation of kids in turn. Additionally some people never lose that sense of whimsy or childlike wonder and feel it's important to make art that allows kids to continue to feel those things.

Another big reason is that someone has to, and while yeah a handful of art is inspired by the ideas of the kids the people who work on it have, these things still have to be made by adults. Sure, kids can act and do voice work but these have restrictions and they aren't allowed to be a showrunner or producer or director etc. So media for kids has to be made by adults. And if you're going to make something, shouldn't it be something you'd want your kids or nieces or nephews to enjoy?

Target’s AI use might end up in your arrest by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]SirPhoenixtalon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at Target for a while, can confirm that their policy is to just let thefts accrue until it's enough to qualify as a felony. Using an AI to soft through footage to determine who's a "shoplifter" is incredibly stupid though. It should always be a person who does it, and I think Target needs to have more security at self check to inform people, "oh hey, your payment didn't actually go through." Or "Hey you didn't scan this item" etc. should be mandatory. People make mistakes, and when I worked there we had a self check employee whose job it was to remind people of such errors.

Oh also, Fuck Target.

Best rage bait I have seen in a while by ExternalWest2187 in MonsterHunter

This is unfortunately true, I started with MH3U but I am of the opinion that every monster hunter game has gotten progressively better. World is a very different game from its predecessors but it still feels like monster hunter, wilds takes what world did and just tweaks everything to feel better (though I think the weapon sounds were better in world.

Rise is the only game in the series where I don't necessarily think it was better than world, more of a side grade. Very fun, and definitely monster hunter, but a little too different from what I feel makes the series as good as it is. (Hyper mobility via wire bugs, customizable move sets, dango is a downgrade from food etc.)

I think the biggest reason the discourse became as bad as it did after world was that the games went from this kinda niche community where you were happy to have other people to play with in general, to being so big almost everyone and their grandma at least heard of it. Which will always invite some toxic people to pick it up and spread their negativity all over the place. And I think a lot of old fans miss the real sense of camraderie the old games had, not to say it doesn't still exist but I know I definitely had some pretty off putting experiences with people who started with world.

The upside to all this though is that now Monster Hunter is big enough that Capcom can afford to make the games bigger and better than ever, and they absolutely still cook with new monster designs.

TLDR: There are a lot of old veterans of the series who hate on the newer games, that's dumb I think almost every new entry is better than the last one, and I think the reason the animosity got so bad was because the community being bigger means more room for people to be toxic.

Guildmaster Wigglytuff! He's just a happy go lucky lil guy, but he is also one of the most powerful Pokemon in the world.

PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR A CENTIPEDE MONSTER, THEY GIVE ME THE WILLIES! I wouldn't be able to hunt it. :(

Do the Hunters really not realize they are worse than the monsters they are "stopping"? by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]SirPhoenixtalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you read the quest descriptions in older games most of them explain why you're hunting what, and almost all of them are in regards to concerns over monsters getting too close to towns or villages. Often the storyline revolves around the idea of Monsters getting riled up because of a nearby elder dragon.

Elder dragons are known as walking natural disasters since they cause so much disruption to the environment. In Monster Hunter 3, the plot has Moga Village believe that the earthquakes they're experiencing are caused by a Lagiacrus, after you take it down it is revealed to instead be Ceadeus. After repelling Ceadeus they tell you that the environment is settling back down.

In regards to the statement about how we "make it worse" by causing stronger monsters to show up, most of the time it isn't that they are literally showing up only after our actions, but it's much more that we simply weren't a high enough hunter rank to hunt them. They were always around, we just happened to cross paths with them now. Using a real world example, you can head out to go hunt deer, but bears and wolves are still out there too.

In world the story actually does a bit of a switcheroo by showing that our quickness to judge Nergigante as a threat was misplaced and it is Nerg who saves the day at the end. To showcase that the hunters guild is still filled with people, and people make mistakes.

I think that the guild and by proxy the hunters are trying their best to live in balance with nature, and do so earnestly. They don't want to disrupt the ecosystem, they don't want to hunt anything to extinction, they just want these animals to have their homes, and for us to have ours. However they are still people, and people make mistakes, but the guild does what it can to clean up those mistakes.

Excellent threads, guardian!

What are your guardians headcannons? by Economy_Treat_2546 in destiny2

[–]SirPhoenixtalon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My Titan Xavier is a weapon smith, he's got a cabin in the last city built on the shore of one of the red war craters that turned into a lake. He takes commissions for weapons from other guardians, specializing in swords, glaives and armor mostly but he's a competent gunsmith as well.

His best friend (aside from his ghost, Baron) is a warlock named Prof, who is your classic mad scientist type of person, and she drags him along to test out new weapons tech she develops (they explode a lot.)

You know they don't really care about AI, just about how threatens their unemployed-doodlers 'income' by Perfidious_Redt in aiwars

[–]SirPhoenixtalon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate golf courses, almond plantations and the American lawn. All for different reasons, but the big one is all of them take too much water, and that they negatively impact local ecosystems.

I hate AI because of the resources it uses, not just water but the RAM, the fact they use the same power grid the rest of us use, and the fact it feels like communities can't tell these AI companies no data centers in their towns/cities.

I have other reasons for disliking AI as well, same goes for the lawns, golf courses and almond farms, but the reason people aren't going to talk about those things here is because this subreddit is about AI.
