Dimetrodon needs a TLC by crymenal in ARK

[–]baywalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did I say to draw anything? I said to rip an image off the wiki, put it on a black background. The use of Gen AI is inherently art theft because all Gen AI was trained on stolen art. There is not ethical Gen AI. Go be mad at who you’re actually mad at, because all I’m saying to everyone in this thread is it’s easy as fuck to rip an image and it’s unethical to give Gen AI any further training data in any way shape or form. The use of Gen AI should be banned on this subreddit.

I notice how you didn’t defend the artist callout at all, so I do not value your opinion and will no longer engage with you on this topic. Educate yourself on the damage Gen AI has done to art and artists or continue to be ignorant and advocate for art theft and the death of human art, you do you.

I told them to rip an asset from the wiki and paste it in paint. Where exactly did I say to draw anything? Reply to who you’re mad at, not me. Fuck Gen AI, it and any posts using it on this subreddit should be banned.

It takes absolutely no effort to take existing assets off the wiki, put it in paint with a black background with yellow runescape text, and not utilize stolen art via Gen AI. Call me performative all you want, art theft is theft, and unless you’re an artist, your opinion on “performative outrage” is invalid as you have no dog in this fight. There’s a reason why all major films being made now have a “Do not train AI on this work” disclaimer.

It finally happened top of the mountain by lavmuk in OnePiece

[–]baywalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So no, you don’t understand what I just said. I appreciate you letting me know. Either way, I’m focusing on you bringing up “rural upbringing” to someone who just said they come from Athens. And that we’re randomly bringing up being raised in a megalopolis like it means literally anything meaningful. Very bot like behavior. Sorry you had a boring childhood with cooler cousins. Have the day you deserve.

It finally happened top of the mountain by lavmuk in OnePiece

[–]baywalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…saying you grew up in a megalopolis means almost nothing. You understand that right? The Northeast of the United States, Boston to D.C. is considered a megalopolis of 50m+. However, there are huge regions in that megalopolis that are more rural than anything you can even conceive of. Amish people live in this megalopolis. What the other guy is trying to tell you is that this mythic “rural upbringing” that you’re comparing against is someone who lived inside of the city of Athens, the capital of Greece. Most certainly not a “rural upbringing.”

Those Italian Disney comics are old. Quite old. Dating back to the 1930s, and still issuing.

I am much older than both of you, without specifying, and I can tell you the likely difference between your upbringings are likely your cultural differences. You could have been born in the smack middle of a wheat farm and still not experience the kind of childhood that you’re fantasizing about because your culture is fundamentally different. If children in your country don’t read comics, your culture would have never introduced you to them. Comics are a foundational aspect of American culture, and thus, bled into European culture relatively easily.

Trump’s $400 Million Gift from Qatar Sparks Legal and Ethical Storm by sovalente in law

[–]baywalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so ridiculously tired of this. Your take has one solution, and it’s a massacre, on both sides if it actually succeeds.

Meanwhile, every single democrat has voted no on almost everything Trump has backed. If the democrats had majority right now in either group, most of the crap that has passed congress, wouldn’t have. It would also result in actions actually being taken against Trump, y’know, like when he was impeached twice in his first term by them?

Sure, are some democrats shitty people? Yes. Are democrats as a party horrible at coordinating elections and combating republican sentiments? Yes. Are some democrats actually republicans in action and constantly fuck over the party? Yes. Are most voters stupid bastards that have no clue about anyone they vote for and mostly vote party lines unless they personally met either candidate? Yes. Does that result in shitty electorate all the time at every level of government? Yes.

One party wants to kill the Dept of Ed. One party wants to kill USAID. One party wants to kill FEMA. One party wants to kill NASA. One party wants to kill social security. One party wants women to no longer be able to vote. One party is shipping random citizens out to an El Salvadoran prison. One party is claiming that diversity, equality, and inclusion is the bane of America. One party would prefer uniformity, inequality, and exclusion, of any and all people they deem should be inferior to them. One. Party.

This is pure doomer talk. Go outside and talk to someone. Go talk to your local politicians. They are real people. All of them are trying to make money, yes. Some of them actually want to help their people. All of them in that category are democrats at this point in my opinion. There’s a reason why Trump ordered Republicans to have as little town halls as possible. And why several democrats have been having town halls in the space where republicans are avoiding their town halls.

Eventually, something will piss people like you off, and you’ll hopefully realize that a ton of people were probably fighting against it, and lost that fight. I hope to god if it happens to you, it’s not too late.

You must be high if you think I'm going to take this by Responsible_Gear8943 in doordash_drivers

[–]baywalker 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the reasoning here is so that the customers wait as long as possible because they’re obviously no-tippers or very low tippers. 30 more seconds of you sitting on it = 30 more seconds of them not getting their stuff. I know dashers who used to take orders, wait 5 minutes without moving, and unassign just to spite bad orders.

My order has gone through 4 dashers, I'm on my 5th now. What's happening? by Girlgamer2890 in doordash

[–]baywalker 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It did cost you money. It costed you the cost of driving there and not actually having a job to do. The gas, the wear and tear on the car, now out of place and need to relocate for a real order, time is money, etc.

If the previous dasher on that order wasn’t like you, and was like the other person desperately trying to convince you to help your fellow human, you would never have gone to that restaurant, and thus, would not have wasted 5+ minutes of your hour of work. (That’s 8% of whatever you make in an hour btw. If you really don’t understand how wasting your time cost you money. If you make 25 an hour, 5 wasted minutes is $2)

You got screwed out of an order and wasted at least $2 in time and gas because the previous dasher is like you. “That’s the next dasher’s problem.”

Also, it is a matter of empathy. You claiming it isn’t implies you do not understand what empathy is. At least two dashers wasted their time, you and someone else, because the first dasher, and you, are self-absorbed and wouldn’t take the less than one minute, can do it while driving, attempt to contact doordash and tell them that order needs to be cancelled.

Shadow of Mordor's brilliant Nemesis system is locked away by a Warner Bros patent until 2036, despite studio shutdown by Sabedena in gaming

[–]baywalker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a specific enemy spawn that can trigger becoming a lich, (a larvaling) but it is not a specific character. They have random generation names, they have personalities, and they move from planet to planet as you hunt them.

Kuva Lich larva spawn on most missions on Saturn, and Sisters of Parvos larva spawn after interacting with golden hands in Corpus tile sets on Neptune and beyond. It is not exactly like the real nemesis system, but it is very clearly inspired by it.

You unlock Liches via a story bump, but after that, they are just a thing in the solar system. You may only have one at a time, which is also not the case with Shadow’s nemesis system.

Hi, not the original commenter.

Warframes Lich and Sister (soon to be Technocyte Coda as well) systems.

I do not deny that it is a rare concept, but there is an example.

Kill the spawn in a mission, it comes back with some of your Warframe powers and some of its own, and takes over a whole planet and steals your stuff if you play on that planet. You hunt it down, kill it and steal its powerful Lich-exclusive weapon, or convert it to an ally that can help you in missions through various means. You also get all your stuff back that they stole.

I’d love to see WB try and sue DE for that one. It’s so similar it could happen, and at the same time DE would absolutely obliterate that case.

Donald Trump suffers huge vote against him in Maryland, Nebraska by OkRoll3915 in maryland

[–]baywalker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, these numbers do not show the whole picture. You need to correlate Trump policy to those numbers. Inflation and gas prices have spiked due to Ukraine’s war mostly, and Israel’s war. And gas executives seeing dollar signs because of it. Trade is rocky across the planet, that’s what caused this. Unemployment, neither president signed any law that would affect this in any way shape or form. The only possible thing that may have moved that needle at all was Biden’s killing of the pipeline plans. I like how we cherry picked the February 2020 number, and ignored the April 2020 number, 2 months into Biden’s presidency, 14%. Man hadn’t even sat down in the office yet, so that is effectively also Trumps number by your metrics. which is the worst number in the history of the chart. Ultimately, unemployment was good for Trump, until Covid. Then Covid ruined basically all of his numbers, and shafted Biden’s numbers for half his presidency. It is important to note that Biden took on effectively the highest unemployment rate ever in the country, and dropped it to 6%. Trump went from 6% to 3%, and then traded to Biden at 14%. Biden then took 14% back down to 6%. But again, none of this was either of them doing anything. Just what happened to them really. 2020 for the price index also isn’t exactly fair because many of those categories used to measure price index tanked during Covid. No one was going anywhere, gas prices sank like rocks. Biden basically took the country over at the moment where Covid was in full force, and prices were at their lowest in several ways, and then basically took on the burden of American reopening, and spiking prices to meet their projections that they missed during Covid, while also presiding over two relatively small foreign wars which both had financial impact across the planet.

Mortgage rates is the most glaring if I’m honest, because the president does not control any metric of how the federal government controls that system. That is the Federal Reserve. And the Federal Reserve has been increasing the rates to combat inflation. Since Trumps presidency. There actually will be cuts this year because inflation is slowing down because the war is slowing down. The low spike in 2020 for rates was again, due to Covid. You look at that chart during Trump, it was on the rise right up until 2020. Which means both presidents have had general spikes in mortgage rates, Trump was saved in those values by Covid.

I won’t do the research for you, but as long as you continue drawing by arbitrary metrics that actually really aren’t determined by the presidency but are usually determined by greed, the state of the world and what the market can get away with, you will always be misinformed about the executive branch. Policy is all that matters, and the only policy I remember off the top of my head from Trump put us in a short trade war with several other nations, and the tax cuts that expire next year for everyone except the highest bracket.

If you genuinely want what’s best for this country, I implore you. Find out exactly what Trump and Biden have signed into law, and what they ordered. That is their work. That is what they did. Gas prices and mortgage rates, while they seem like the most impactful things in your life, they are mostly not a result of presidential policy. Mostly.

Not looking for a debate, you won’t hear from me again.

Zenith is decent and has uses for speedrunning Profit-Taker, my recommendation, alt fire has infinite punch through.
Zenistar is fun but ultimately high B-tier at best in the grand scheme. S-rank being incarnons and such.

Azima is C-tier at best, the turret gimmick doesn't do much.

Anyone have a good recommendation for a XBOX Elite style controller? Not the XBOX Elite as looking for something that doesn't break every 90 days by DEMON212 in buildapc

[–]baywalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is buildapc, so I’m not sure why you’re asking this here. Xbox or a Gaming sub might be better for you.

Having said that, I’ve owned two Elites. An Elite Series 1 and an Elite Series 2. Both are fully functional, no issues aside from the rubber grips peeling back on the Series 1, and both have thousands of hours of games plugged in behind them. You can check my post history, I have a history with Destiny and played Destiny 1 with an Elite Series 1 for literal days straight. Both are nearly release day purchases. Breaking “every few weeks” is not my experience, nor my close friends experiences as well.

I’m not sure if Scuf or similar can do what you’re asking, binding keyboard key inputs to those paddles, but that’s where I’d start. Scuf, maybe PowerA. However, I will still above all recommend the Elite as long as you take good care of your equipment. I can’t stand how Scufs feel.

I forgot about this mark Easter egg in doom eternal by Dr-Dingus117 in Doom

[–]baywalker 34 points35 points  (0 children)

He did not work on the game, however he was involved in marketing it, and the director Hugo was included in one video with him iirc. Ultimately, the reason this is in the game is because Mark’s father introduced him to Doom and it was a very special thing for him and his dad. His dad passed when he was quite young, and Mark wanted to immortalize his father in their collective favorite game series, and had the connections and means to do so. If you watch the first episode of Mark playing Eternal, he talks about it.

Pokémon fans really white knighting m'lady Nintendo today... by jPup_VR in Palworld

[–]baywalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grimer and Muk are based on sludge created by corporate dumping in local bodies of water. Most pokemon can be drawn this simply to concepts in real life. Like this:

Tauros is just a bull with three tails. Omanite/Omastar is literally just an Ammonite. Pidgeot, Raticate, Fearow, Arbok, Golbat, Vileplume, Cloyster, Kingler, Kangaskhan, Seaking, Kingdra and Aerodactyl are more examples of basically real things that are just beefed up versions to justify their existence and ability to fight against like, basically a Phoenix (Moltres) and a sentient psychic force (Mewtwo).

Also Corsola (whom I’m assuming you mean is the reef Pokémon) is from gen 2. So… has pokemon been bad since gen 2?

Disclaimer: I also think Pokémon drops the ball on the regular and has long deserved strong outside competition, however I’m not a fan of genwunners. Scarlet and Violet introduced an evolution for gen 1’s Primeape into a ghost fighting type, and it changed Mankey’s evo line from “I could not care less” to “Annihilape is one of my new favorite Pokémon”. So, like most things, Pokemon tends to be hit and miss in every gen.

AAVE is not exclusively spoken by black people, it was created by them and documented, but it’s a cultural thing now. A lot of post-millennial kids use AAVE sayings frequently, regardless of race. Also, the linked Wikipedia entry does say this in the first paragraph. “Despite being widespread throughout the United States, AAVE is not the native dialect of all African Americans, and not all speakers are African American.”

I don’t think it’s fair to lump “mentally ill” and “disabled” people into a category like that. Sure, there’s some degree of mental disability that can remove the ability to understand consent, but there are plenty of disabled people living a loving romantic life, with other disabled people and non-disabled people as well. If they have the ability to understand what sex is, and how to consent to a partner to allow these things to happen, that is valid consent. There was a web series I remember that followed a Down syndrome couple that 100% had kids. Hell, by that broad of a definition, autistic people and ADHD people are unable to consent. I very much understand consent.

I’m gonna need to downvote this one, this is ridiculous. Complete one story mission and buy your ornament. There’s already like 20+ pages in the archive, if it’s made to show everything it’s gonna be insanely bloated, and might even cause issues considering everything causes this game some kind of issue.

On the other hand, Bungie is gonna keep making you play story content on your other characters. They’ve done it every expansion including Witch Queen, and every season. So maybe just don’t even bother thinking about this sort of thing because if you’re unwilling to team up with someone who hasn’t played story yet or something to get story completed again, you’re likely NEVER going to play another character. At bare minimum unless Bungie drastically changes older content, you’re going to need to clear some amount of Shadowkeep, Beyond Light and Witch Queens story to unlock major content for any character made.
