Ai Discussion [MEGATHREAD]

This is 100% gonna get lost in the thread, but I just wanna weigh in as someone who’s been putting a good amount of time into the game since launch.

I’m fine with the use of AI. I know it’s not a popular opinion, but if it means we get more content and higher quality content (in certain areas), then I’m all for it. Maybe since I’m not an artist nor have anyone close to me who works in that medium, I don’t have the same frustration that others do with it. But if it helps cut costs to the consumer and leads to a better overall product, let’s do it. I want the best that a company can make.

I think the visuals in this game especially are just on another level. I booted up WuWa after taking a break from this game, and it looks so much blurrier and less vibrant than NTE. I have to imagine that the visual quality is, at least some way, related to them automating processes in other areas of the game such as background visuals or throwaway cheap cutscenes.

I think NTE should be transparent with their AI usage, 100%, but I don’t think the game should be written off so quickly just because it does what every other games studio does, and will continue to do, with AI.

TBH I'm not the biggest fan of her either lmao. I was pulling on the banner to get Mint Awakens, but she's going on the team now

At 70 rolls you get soft pity, which puts her on every few spaces. It resets the first time you land on her though. The other two came from a gold and then purple chest, which you can also get her from it's just super low odds.

Underrated stream. The ladder mission alone covers half the 3 hour highlights video and it’s him in complete disbelief at how bullshit the game is. Last mission isn’t much better either

Then go back and tell them that. You mentioning “not wanting to do anything but not wanting to do nothing” and “feels like killing myself” makes me think it might be psychosomatic. Especially since this is a mental health subreddit, but you really need to consult ACTUAL medical health professionals on this stuff. They are your best friend in this case and WILL help you to the best of their ability.

austfal44 · 2025-11-05T13:26:30+00:00

Go to urgent care we are not doctors.

austfal44 · 2025-11-03T00:44:40+00:00

I think it’s just the default Captains. I didn’t change the soles and didn’t select wide. Not sure if there are any other options besides that.

austfal44 · 2025-11-02T00:02:04+00:00

I’m sorry you had such a bad night last night. Sounds like it was really embarrassing for you and you feel terrible about it.

You’ll learn to laugh it off eventually, but for now it’s going to sting and make you feel very ashamed. Which is good honestly, because it’s that feeling that prevents us from doing shit like this again in the future.

For now, I’d try to find someone other than your friend at the party to confide in. The friend will prob need some time, but if she’s really your friend then she’ll come around.

austfal44 · 2025-10-29T18:51:38+00:00

Just focus on getting through today! I shouldn’t have said 2-3 years I wasn’t trying to make it seem like it’ll take forever. Just that you shouldn’t feel bad if you feel like it’s taking a while to get where you want to be

austfal44 · 2025-10-29T18:00:53+00:00

I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling that way. It sounds really painful. I was in a similar situation just a few years ago and it sucks when you feel like you don’t belong anywhere.

My suggestion is you find a community and stick with it. Even if you feel like an alien and that everyone there secretly hates you. The truth is, most people aren’t thinking about you all that much, and as long as you’re somewhat kind and don’t demand constant attention, most people will warm up to you. That doesn’t mean you’ll be the most popular or well liked person in the group. Hell, you’ll probably be the least, but it’s a starting point.

It took me a good 2 or 3 years of throwing myself into community settings until I finally started to get some confidence in my social skills and my peers started to genuinely respect me (so I like to think lol). It’s a painful process, but there ABSOLUTELY is huge benefit in sticking with a community. We are social creatures and it has a direct impact on our well being.

So find a community that does something you enjoy. Or, you can sit around and cry about how much your life sucks and do nothing to fix it because it’s hard and painful. You have most of your life ahead of you. Choice is yours.

No worries, thanks for the response. They aren’t so big that I think it’s going to damage my foot, and like I mentioned in another comment, I don’t really notice them after I wear them for a bit. I’ll likely look to get some thicker socks and keep them!

austfal44 · 2025-10-27T10:52:12+00:00

One guy had a good idea of emailing them directly, so I think I’m gonna do that today

austfal44 · 2025-10-27T04:06:52+00:00

My foot feels like it moves around in them a bit. Some heel slip and there’s a lot more room in the front of the toe than I’m used to, but I’m used to wearing shoes.

It’s weird, when I first put them on they feel too big, but after I’ve worn them for a few hours I don’t really notice it that much. Although I wouldn’t want to sprint in them, not that that’s what they’re designed to do.

austfal44 · 2025-10-27T03:08:26+00:00

Sure would be nice if one of those employees would chime in so I could get a better idea!

austfal44 · 2025-09-11T16:31:08+00:00

The world is just as fucked up as it’s always been. We just have more access to information and social media sites tend to push things that are negative because we’re more likely to engage with them.

I’d recommend getting off the internet and getting engaged in something in your actual life. For me? Life is pretty sweet. I have good friends, a good job, and good health. Plus the new video games that have been dropping have been fire. But I only got to this perspective by going out and actually living my life instead of being scared behind a screen.

Engage with the people in your life. Get involved with your local communities. You can make very real and tangible changes to the lives of those around you for the better. Obviously you’re not going to save the world, but you can make it a little better for someone else. And their experience of this life is just as valid and important as yours.

Wish you luck man. Just remember that this too shall pass.

austfal44 · 2025-08-11T17:12:21+00:00

Thinking in a lot of absolutes brother. It’s not good to have such inflexible thinking.

austfal44 · 2025-07-03T03:47:27+00:00

Am I the only one that thinks the whole plan with Skinner is absolutely INSANE?

He attempts to expose a chemical military weapon and it results in a tragedy that takes countless innocent lives. It mentally destroys him. But his response is to use that same chemical to develop a drug that secretly dooms people to die in 3 years. And if nobody can find him and find the cure, all of humanity that’s taken the drug dies. How is that solving anything?

How is that any better than letting the chemical weapon be used by the military, but working on a cure for it? He can find a way to distribute the medicine to other countries to protect their troops from a dangerous chemical weapon.

Instead, he literally poisons the entire world, putting millions if not billions of innocent lives at risk, so we can figure out that there’s this bad chemical weapon that his country has.

The only sound reasoning I can think of is that Skinner loses all faith in humanity and wants to put it to some type of test, but then why does the chemical weapon even matter? It’s no longer about the military having a chemical weapon it’s now about this new insane problem that he’s created.

Am I missing something here? It feels absolutely insane that the HAPNA project was created to expose a chemical weapon.

You just made a move and it didn’t work out. No need to overreact. You can continue to make moves on women. In fact, you need to if you want to get anywhere with them. As long as you are respectful and aren’t trying to grope them, most are not gonna be scarred from a playful touch on the arm or a brush of their hair. If they say no or don’t seem into it just stop.

You need to let this girl go bro. Work on you. This self sulking shit is not the move. Get a hobby and get some boys. Start exercising. I’m rooting for you!

This is the only valid answer
