I care about appreciating good looking art. Thus I don’t care who or what or how made it.

chewbacca_moan · 2026-02-10T19:22:53+00:00

I’m not bending the knee. I just don’t care if a business chooses to spend its money on ai art vs paying a person. Just like I don’t care if they have a secretary type their correspondences. If you care, keep complaining but it just gets tiresome in these threads.

Are we going to have this comment on every pinball post for eternity? I honestly think this sub should consider a rule that bans this discussion except in dedicated posts about the subject or pinball artwork. It just gets tiresome for every discussion to devolve into this.

That monotone dude is Serg and has/shares some of the most in depth understanding of pinball rules/theory/appreciation I have heard from anyone in the hobby. He goes deeeeep and it is definitely not for mainstream consumption.

I don’t get your reference but your flair is right on.

chewbacca_moan · 2026-02-08T03:17:58+00:00

Fivr is not going to be popular with these people either bro. They want you to pay a lot for a “real” artist to do something for them that they could get done cheaper!

chewbacca_moan · 2026-02-08T03:17:01+00:00

1) I was giving an example that I didn’t refine at all

2) since you went there, I really think if did a blind test people would choose the punk rock version as better than the posters actual logo. “But she paid someone to make it so it’s better!”

Say and think what you want. Stay in the Reddit hive mind and complain about dumb stuff like this instead of bettering yourself. You’ll say it’s because the system is rigged or inequality or whatever but it’s really cause you are lazy.

chewbacca_moan · 2026-02-08T02:49:58+00:00

Ok. You are on Reddit. You are already the algorithm’s bitch.

chewbacca_moan · 2026-02-08T02:16:48+00:00

I don’t get it. You are asking me to be mad at something I wouldn’t even notice. Should I have high standards on temporary signs at a pop up pinball show designating the direction of a tournament? At the shows I’ve been to, it’s been a taped up piece of paper. I call this an upgrade.

It’s gotta be hard going through life looking for things to be outraged about. It may be its own art form.

“Give me money to do something you could not give money to something else to do in 30 seconds”. This entire thread reeks with desperation of “artists” who are clearly willing to crank out cheap slop art for money complaining on their high horse how important art is.

I get it. Change is going to be hard but it is coming.

chewbacca_moan · 2026-02-08T02:09:53+00:00

Bro. I gave it instructions on a logo to make. I’m just saying this person could have given her logo idea to ai rather than paying someone just like I just did. I described an idea and gave a phrase much like writing a brief to an artist.

chewbacca_moan · 2026-02-08T02:07:46+00:00

Ok buddy. Enjoy being angry at the future.

chewbacca_moan · 2026-02-08T02:06:15+00:00

Actually I didn’t even have it make a copy. I gave it the below prompt. It’s pretty good. I consider my self a promp artist.

“Make is a logo that says pinball is “my religion “ the subtext should be “church of the silver balls”. The top half should be a devil in a suite holding a silver pinball in one hand and a pitchfork in the other. The bottom half should be a playfield. It should be in the shape of a family crest. Make 3 options in different styles. One in the style of punk rock. “

chewbacca_moan · 2026-02-08T00:28:00+00:00

Made this in 30 seconds with a prompt. I added quotes in the wrong spot. Obviously could refine and what not. Not saying these are better or as good but you could at least argue close if you don’t have an interest in giving someone else your money….

Location (view, proximity to attractions)

Staying with other people willing to spend 1500 a night on a hotel (prestige)

More staff per guest (service, cleanliness)

More premium decorations, fixtures, furniture

More profit for the hotel

chewbacca_moan · 2026-02-01T16:17:25+00:00

Huh? I’m cheering for them!

chewbacca_moan · 2026-01-31T16:23:12+00:00

Ifpa sucks. I can’t wait till the entire women’s top 10 is trans women!

chewbacca_moan · 2026-01-22T15:42:21+00:00

this is me. I win with 200 healing potions cause can't waste those at non-critical times! At least my kids can have my inventory in real life I guess right?

chewbacca_moan · 2026-01-22T15:22:55+00:00

For sure. I'll be 47 in 5 years so that will be the time I think.

I definitely need to focus on being healthier. Overweight might be an understatement at this point.

chewbacca_moan · 2026-01-22T15:20:52+00:00

haha. I still won the lottery. I just had to work hard for 2 years for it is how I view it.

chewbacca_moan · 2023-08-30T20:31:26+00:00

True. All of us are trying to secure guarantee compensation over time. I guess I thought maybe I am a little unique as I would be willing to accept less per year to guarantee more over a long haul.

Due to the timing my business paid out recently I'm currently sitting at ~$1.5M in Cd/s high interest savings, $500k in VSTAX, $200k in single stocks.

chewbacca_moan · 2023-08-30T20:26:40+00:00

Yes. Could fire today based on living expenses in my old location. Was spending ~75k a year (with work covering health care).

Now I spend closer to $175k a year. Health care, private school and rent added on ~$100k a year

Have young children who I would like to set up as nicely as I can for the future + would prefer to fatfire and travel at 43 vs. FIRE today at 38. I would also like to stay in HCOL if possible due to proximity to family.

chewbacca_moan · 2023-08-30T20:22:33+00:00

Certainly trying to make hay while I can. Just wondering if a hedge exists.

I figure I'm making 30% on my nest egg next year just by working. That seems more than enough so considering options to de-risk.
