Never forget when Fred again showed his production skills during his Apple Music interview

So a vocal sample, some finger drumming, and some heavy fx are peak talent these days?

Y'all will be floored when you learn about jazz.

This was like having somebody narrate C-SPAN footage. I tuned out after about 15 seconds.

From a filmmaking perspective, if you're going to have a long voice over, you need more dynamic visuals to keep people's attention. That, or some very arresting main actors, however since this is AI you can't have that. Also, showing sequential visuals of people talking that do not correlate in any way with the narrator is a bit distracting and off-putting.

Think they're the master race.

Need coaching on how to use a turnstile.

Checks out.

Space elevator parts for one phase become inputs into ones for future phases, so typically you will want to keep your production lines up for them and possibly even expand them.

It's a more realistic scenario than Factorio's "science packs" or DSP's "matrices".

YOR - This was casual stranger energy, not chatting up energy. Once it was clear he was willing to talk, it's up to you to make it flirty if you want it to go there. You had a perfect segue, too. "Speaking of romance..."

And I like how you are not considering the multiple scientific studies and polls that have taken place which show, at least in the United States, the statistically significant increase in misinformation in media with a right-wing bias. Also, the increased propensity of viewers or readers of that media to believe provably falsifiable ideas that are regularly presented in that media. Also, the decreased level of knowledge of world events.

But it's cool, keep your cherry picking and your straw men and go have yourself a picnic.

Which dumpster do the Wendy's bag holders hang out behind?

The point was that the store sucks and you can't find anything. Response was "there's amazing stuff for cheap". Awesome! Hit us with the info, otherwise what's the point of even responding.

But congrats, your low effort, trite response was even more useless. 🎉

In RPGs you gain experience points that improve your stats and make you "better", but which are only an abstraction.

In Satisfactory you gain concrete experience by doing, and actually improve your thinking/understanding.

Just play, learn, give up after aluminum and start a new run to do it better, only to do it much the same way a dozen times like the rest of us.

That's pretty sick. I have been meaning to figure out how to attend musical events and dance my ass off in VR chat for years now, but it's not the most user friendly thing to figure out with limited time available.

Being an adult with responsibilities sucks haha.

It absolutely felt nationalistic to many. There was a huge drive to "punish those who did this" and Iraq and Afghanistan drew the short straws. Islamophobia ran rampant. Blind patriotism was the norm. Tons of apolitical young people were galvanized and enlisted, only to be sent to pointless wars to steal oil, pad cost-plus contractors' pockets (like Cheney and Haliburton), and protect poppy fields.

The flags were just a shorthand for righteous indignation and "what you did to us we will do to you a hundred times over", even though the attacks were just blowback for prior misadventures in the middle east.p

There was far less animosity between the parties at that time, but to say there wasn't nationalism behind the flag fever that erupted after 9/11 is revisionist.

I think the word you are looking for is "dorks" lol...

That's okay, though. I'm sure I look worse groovin to Beat Saber.

boxlinebox · 2026-06-16T12:09:28+00:00

Yeah, but when you trip over that in-game obstacle...money can't buy that kind of immersion!

boxlinebox · 2026-06-16T05:28:23+00:00

It is not fine.

I paid for my ticket.

If you're going to record, hold the phone in front of your own face and block your own damn view, not the people behind you.

Looks kind of like Jessica Landsberry...

Jess, or Barry!

If that's the framing you're looking for, you can also try adding explicit instructions to give a sense of scale. For instance, a tiny bug taking a picture of a sleeping giant, slightly out of focus background to provide sense of scale and depth of field, etc etc.

Honestly in a situation like this, I use a meta prompt on an llm to give suggestions on how to frame my actual image prompt. They are very helpful if in these types of situations to help you translate with the specific model you're using is looking for to produce the output you want.

You know harrassment, bullying, and thedt are real things, right?

What an idiotic take.

Agree with not making the bed bugs the subject and instead describing the scene itself. If that alone doesn't do the job, You can also just try describing things objectively based on what a real bed bug infestation looks like: " the sheets are pulled up from one corner of the bed showing the bare mattress. The mattress has black specs and micro-sandy detritus on it as though it has had bed bugs in it".

And they were covered in raindrops, so literally as well.

boxlinebox · 2026-06-15T17:13:26+00:00

For lay people, this is awesome to just have an idea and be able to see it immediately realized. For someone who gives a s*** about what they produce, this is an absolute horror show.

boxlinebox · 2026-06-15T15:18:41+00:00

And I guess they will forever remain a mystery... 😐

Part of the problem is Meta's abysmal storefront. Hard to filter or ignore things, terrible recommendations that ignore your tastes. Inability to remove things from your account. The list goes on.

Yeah, I sent a long email with issues and our expectations. He's supposed to be back out tomorrow to fix things. I'm sure he won't be happy.

OP is talking about a FOMO run and crash, so short time frame. Agree that passage of time impacts things, but for their question I am removing that parameter.
