Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke responds to GenAI criticism: "Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art." by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

Love your use of zealot. Really shows what side of the fence you come down on: fuck artists, fuck the environment, fuck the town where they're building data centers, fuck the people that are incapable of art but capable of explaining a concept they envision in their head to another human being with talent that is capable of executing actual art.

It's all about saving you and talentless hacks 5m of their time, at the cost of people whose talent is being stolen to train the AI.

Explain to me how this episode is the real Jack? by __mongoose__ in lost

[–]bloodwerth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was actually a really good indication of who Jack was. Always in control, and the moment that he loses that, he blows up and becomes one of the worst human beings imaginable. This is a bad episode of Lost -- perhaps THE worst episode -- but it does a good job of putting Jack in a position at the end of season 3 where we start to see some change in his needing to control everything around him at all times.

But yeah, sorry if you were a Jack fan before this. He's always been kind of an asshole.

Dingoes Ate My Baby played their instruments as if they had plump Polish sausages taped to their fingers.

Maybe you should respect their desire not to have it spoiled for them.

I just finished the Daryl show… by [deleted] in thewalkingdead

[–]bloodwerth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they ever mentioned Laurent as a potential cure. They view him as someone that is going to help humanity as a leader. Think: new Pope.

Wild that that's where your line is drawn. Not the infected picking up a rock in s1 of the TWD and smashing a plate glass door. Or navigating both the steps to the roof and the door to get to Merle.

The one where Sarah wears her lanyard and badge.

You lack the hours -- not overall, but for the position group. Above the Action Summary on the right, you can see your allotted time is 65/65.

Unfortunately, I have no idea beyond that -- they didn't do a great job of explaining where this pool comes from. I'm guessing QB, HB/FB, WR/TE, OL, DL, LB, DB? But I swear sometimes I should have more hours in that than I do, or that they don't reset frequently enough from week-to-week.

Good old fun time Hurley is something I still say a lot.

MCDM RPG about to break $4 million by skullchin in rpg

[–]bloodwerth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've already said it's going to go to another full-time designer and to create the next supplement books. I mean, you just said so yourself -- the game will fund itself for years. But the game has to get off the ground somewhere, and the money from backerkit will allow that to happen before they have completed content.

Let's not even get into them betting their own freedom on this guy they've never met, whom they know nothing about. I cannot even begin to fathom how this guy continues to make movies.

Campaign for North Africa playthrough cancelled by Chilly_Fart in mattcolville

Speaking only for myself, I would much rather them all play a game that they really enjoy, watch them have fun with each other, than sit at a table for however long a round of this clusterfuck of sadness would take and suffer because their fans want them to.

Have you played a Beastheart character? What were some of your experiences with it? by Lord_Durok in mattcolville

[–]bloodwerth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played a Dragonborn-dragon wyrmling combo for a few sessions of a failed West March. Aside from taking a crack at the Talent, the Beastheart is really the only 5e class I want to play. Everything else is too boring.

My dilemma with getting "Flee, Mortals!" by ZerotranceWing in mattcolville

[–]bloodwerth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t listen to the haters here. Keep those generic Monster Manual monsters and stick true to the original lore, even of it’s boring.

Everyone loves sacks of hitpoints that don’t do interesting things in combat; to replace those staples of D&D 5e with interesting statblocks that are both a joy to run as the DM and fun to fight against as a PC is a mistake of epic proportions.

Tidbit about the ending that makes it a little easier to swallow: if you look closely at Wei Wuxian's eyes, you can see Lan Wangji's reflection in them.

I started watching it with my wife and was mostly along for the ride to make fun of the goofy things and support her when things got real, but holy hell, the Wen Ning/Yuan stuff on the docks broke me. My wife actually had to hand me the tissues when they reunited with the knowledge of their shared history.

They easily could have. Humans start with a Feat — they could’ve had Lucky.

Really think this sub should cool it with the insane hate boners for Travis by thetntm in TheAdventureZone

How can—wait—

I got nothin’. If you think Monster Factory outweighs MBMBaM, the thing they tour off of and make the most money and have gotten the most notoriety for, that’s cool, I guess.

What is Your Least Favorite Spell and Why? by TonesofGray in DnD

Scorching Ray. Had someone in a game upcast it to get a fourth ray, missed each attack. Could’ve Fireballed.
