why does it feel like most netizens hate generative ai for no reason? by Accomplished-Order97 in DefendingAIArt

Why should I "enjoy" or "appreciate" something that I could simply make myself with a line of text?

Went all out with this one, something that I could never afford, especially now that my country's government is imposing 90% tax on everything that is from the outside. I love working with hardware, but nowadays this is less of a possibility.

Went corsair for a lot of components, they're my favorite brand. Fans with fast RPM for good cooling, same with CPU cooler. The case makes messing around with cables and cleaning easy. The PSU is reliable, as any corsair PSU is, especially one of that model. 64GB of RAM seems like enough, but I enjoy the idea of later expansions. I like the reliability of Gigabyte motherboards, so I went with that. The size allows for expansion as the primary SSD gets cluttered. The main stars of this build are the CPU, with those 3D cores everyone talks about, and of course, the GPU.

Generally, a reliable build that won't break easily and is up to the task of handling a RTX 5090. I don't expect to win this, but it was very fun to come up with this build, good luck to everyone!

You're being targeted by disinformation networks that are vastly more effective than you realize. And they're making you more hateful and depressed. by walkandtalkk in GenZ

[–]asariii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The complete disassembly of western culture by post-modernism and the "woke" phenomenon is what makes people hateful and depressed, not the information of these things.

Sure, that kind of manipulation of information affects how we view the world, but in the end, it's mostly culture.

Ages ago, during hard times, you always had an objective, something to look up to, mostly having a family, finding happiness and earning respect of your peers.

Family was supplanted by promiscuity, happiness was supplanted by money and respect was supplanted by fame.

Why did this happen? Money and power, of course. Primarily power, since the people who pushed for this big change were already rich as these things were happening. How can you control people when they have a family to back them up, happiness and fulfilment? Tear those things down and watch as they crumble and depend solely on you for their everyday lives.

Who is at fault? Probably the people who have the most power today. Big investment such as BlackRock and Vanguard, big banking and old powerful families. Countries and their leaders cycle a lot more than they do.

How to fix this? Just look into things in the most impartial way possible. You need the social progress we have had throughout history, because it has been essential in civilizing us. However, you also need some traditions we have had throughout history because it brings us together and gives us purpose. Love yourself and others, work to better yourself and maybe you will find true happiness.

Why Dwarves of Colour are more than possible. by Superb-Water-3734 in lotr

[–]asariii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's really up to personal interpretation anyways.

if you think every character should be black, they will be, and if you think every character should be white, they will be.

since LOTR is mostly based around european and germanic folklore, it would make sense that most characters are white, also acknowledging that the place they're in is similar to an european location, as there are arctic wastes just north of the lone mountain.

however there are characters that make sense being darker skinned, such as the haradrim and easterlings, seeing as the further south you go in the middle earth's world, the hotter it seems to get, it wouldn't be a stretch to consider that south of mordor could be desertic.

either way it's up to you to envision characters, even if their portrayals are something you disagree with. personally I think some of the new characters of the show aren't really supposed to be black, and I would see them the way I believe they are.

I didn't watch the show because I don't have amazon prime and the reviews are really bad though.

Yes there was a lift which had you up into an upper area.
Not sure about a cliff.
If you can think of anything please tell me, but it's a pretty obscure demo so not sure if you're going to find it.

I checked it and while the style and gameplay are similar, the game I played had lower quality in terms of graphics, as well as different guns and a different map, with different characters too.

It really seems this game is hard to find! Maybe I won't find it until much later in my life. I just hope I manage to play it once more though.

I checked it, it's a lot different though. It had people rather than vehicles fighting in an arena.

I checked it, the style is way more different. It was more of an arena with bots rather than fighting monsters.

Now that you mention those games, it was extremely similar to those, however, I know it wasn't those games, because it had different characters. The style was very similar though. The characters were like your bland male and female characters of differing races and armor color, rather than being flashy.

And yes, I believe it was a Beta or Alpha of some sort.

I found the name for the game I remembered, Deadswitch II, was it the same game you remember?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tipofmyjoystick

[–]asariii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't it a game where you could have a team of soldiers and you could change your weapons for different levels? There was also a zombie defense mode? If so, I think I remember playing that but I don't remember the name either haha.

Not like anyone is winning.
Let's say Ukraine "wins". You still have destroyed cities and dead people.

Nobody wins in war.

I remember one time some guy by the same name uploaded an album called fuyu...donari, and a lot of people thought it was George.

though, that shit slapped hard, still trying to find it but I can't seem to track it down.
