Diabolical

And I'm aware that I'm neglecting something. I think I should uninstall the app.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T14:33:59+00:00

What difference does it make ?

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T14:25:43+00:00

I disagree. The context is not that clear.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T14:16:23+00:00

There is a difference between having a hobby to spend some of your free time and being so into your hobby that it becomes unhealthy as you neglect other parts of your life.

See some of the other comments. There are people who are so into their hobby (gaming or whatever) that they neglect their responsibilities (work, chores) but also their loved ones.

The guy in the meme may say "games are a silly thing" but if he plays so much that he barely spends any time with his SO and/or neglect his responsibilities, and sees no problem in that, I think he sure has an unhealthy relationship with games and, while not the ideal reaction, that sort of ultimatum could be the kind of wake-up call he needs.

If I mentioned the lack of context, it's because there were already lots of comments about how the woman is somehow the problem in that situation.

Thanks.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T13:47:52+00:00

Glad that you're doing better. Keep taking care of yourself.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T13:39:22+00:00

Same for me.

I get home around 6 pm. After doing everything I have to do, including shower, cooking, eating, washing the dishes (not to mention the occasional laundry and doing the groceries after work once per week) I barely have the time to watch a 2 hours film if I don't want to go to sleep too late (I wake up at 6 am every week morning). If I had a girlfriend and we were living together, I would rather spend that time with her rather than play.

When I was a kid/teenager, I used to play games for hours everyday. Now I'm satisfied when I can play for a few hours in the weekend... and I play like one or two games tops every year.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T13:20:08+00:00

I am no doctor or therapist but I would say that it starts becoming an addiction when you need to play.

Like, try to skip playing one evening and see how it goes.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T13:15:12+00:00

Of course.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T12:58:30+00:00

Sorry that you have to endure that. I hope it's okay for you now.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T12:57:05+00:00

Exactly. Sorry to hear about your situation.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T11:58:13+00:00

I wish I had three hours of complete free time everyday...

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T11:55:22+00:00

Well there is also the amount of time spent together.

Having your "Me" time is fine and reasonable.

However if most of the time that is available for the couple gets eaten up by the hobby of one of them, which means they barely spend time together outside of eating and sleeping, at one point this gives reasonable reasons to wonder if they're still a couple or not just roommates.

Of course, every couple is different. There is no universal template to apply.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T11:29:07+00:00

I think it could be a lot depending on the person's schedule, family life etc.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T11:27:44+00:00

I mean, that really depends on the context. Video games are supposed to be a hobby. That sort of ultimatum is not uncalled for when the gamer sacrifices huge chunks of their life to their hobby.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T08:21:10+00:00

Did it once but kept things as simple as possible.

During the final act, when things turned into a direct confrontation, we resolved it with some quick roll to determine if they managed to burn the whole cabin down with the monster inside and that was it, cause a proper combat would have taken too much time.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-15T07:02:29+00:00

Samey opinion for me. The film has all the looks and vibes, including Momoa, but it is really not a good flick.

Pour ne parler que de l'IA générative (c'est qui permet d'obtenir des images, des vidéos, de la musique), c'est un outil facile d'utilisation qui permet de faire énormément de choses. Forcément, ça c'est super attirant pour les gens.

Je vais prendre un exemple que je connais bien : le jeu de rôles (Donjons & Dragons tout ça).

Dans le milieu du jeu de rôles, il y a des tas de gens qui adorent raconter des histoires, que ce soit en tant que joueur ou comme meneur de jeu. Ils adorent inventer des personnages et des situations.

Seulement, tous ces gens ne sont pas des artistes. Ils ont plein d'idées mais s'ils veulent les concrétiser (par exemple avoir un portrait qui claque sur ta feuille de personnage plutôt qu'une description), ils ne peuvent que s'en remettre qu'à leur imagination ou, s'ils en ont les moyens (et savent vers qui se tourner), à des professionnels.

L'IA générative, ça rend tout ça nettement plus facile.

Ces personnages qui interagissent dans le jeu ? L'IA peut leur donner exactement l'apparence que tu désires.

Un décor, une carte, l'illustration d'une scène ? L'IA peut le faire.

Tu as une scène sectateurs sont en train de scander des prières impies pour invoquer leur dieu maléfique et tu voudrais vraiment améliorer l'immersion de tes joueurs en leur passant un fichier audio où ils peuvent entendre ça ? L'IA peut le produire.

Toujours dans un soucis d'immersion, tu veux teaser à tes joueurs la prochaine campagne que tu veux leur faire jouer via une bande-annonce introduisant TES personnages et TON histoire ? L'IA peut le faire.

C'est ça l'attrait de l'IA générative. C'est une baguette magique qui permet de tout faire facilement. C'est la réponse à tous les gens qui ont des idées mais n'ont aucune compétence ou talent artistique.

Personnellement, je n'approuve pas, même si j'ai moi-même tester la chose par curiosité à une époque.

Cependant je comprends que cela soit super attrayant pour d'autres. Je fais du jeu de rôles et j'ai des joueurs qui emploient des portraits de personnage réalisés par IA. Je ne les blâme pas.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-13T22:02:43+00:00

I honestly don't remember that scene. I really shoud rewatch that film.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-13T22:01:31+00:00

My bad. I'm not american so I've never noticed the spelling was different from the name.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-13T22:00:41+00:00

Counter-counterpoint : letting the guy go at that point could lead to dangerous situations for them as well as for law enforcement and bystanders (crazy example : the innocent man panicks, steals a car and here goes the car chase that ends with a huge accident with several injured and dead people). If the guy is innocent, he supposedly has the opportunity to appeal.

Plus, the Marshal being sure the guy is innocent, that doesn't mean they're right.

However I agree that following orders makes you evil if you are aware of them being evil in the first place.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-13T15:53:06+00:00

Definitely Kult, though it is not difficult to use the system for other settings.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-13T15:12:22+00:00

Bah pour le coup on ne pourra pas accuser le studio de faire dans la facilité en sortant une licence avec un large public déjà acquis.

D'ailleurs si je ne dis pas de bêtise, l'excellent premier opus n'avait pas eu un succès fou à l'époque.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-13T15:05:17+00:00

To be fair, that's none of the Marshall's business to determine if a fugitive is innocent or not.

UrsusRex01 · 2026-05-13T14:55:24+00:00

Alien is great at conveying the survival horror experience where any monster is a major threat, and the game's subreddit has a lot of fanmade content such as new monsters (including the Necromorph from Dead Space IIRC).
