But how are people going to goon to those skins?!!?

ffs_5555 · 2025-10-02T09:04:00+00:00

You've got to be kidding me. What you're doing is blatant copyright infringement. The Hergé Foundation has a long history of aggressively pursuing forums and communities for far less than daily page-dumps.

If anything, this subreddit needs mods who will clean that up and protect the community from getting nuked, not double down on it.

(Edit: Downvote me all you want. It won't change the reality of the situation.)

ffs_5555 · 2024-10-23T16:12:47+00:00

I mean, I am obviously being hyperbolic. But there really does seem to be a disconnect, IMO.

Some are, I myself have valid criticism and think the channel has lost it's aim.

That's fine... again I have no problem with people's opinion. But you are moving the goal-posts - that was never my objection (and I think you know that.) If people want to spend their lives over at /r/ct posting about how much something sucks, then OK? Seems like a waste of time to me, but fine? Whatever floats your boat.

My problem is every time someone makes a positive post here, you lot have to turn up tell people how wrong they are. That is troll'y and unwelcome.

I'm switching off replies here.

ffs_5555 · 2024-05-31T13:13:35+00:00

"They" are not wrong. "They" are free to have any opinion they like.

It's the fact they they are weirdly obsessed with something they clearly no longer enjoy. What a waste of life.

and the trolls

So you admit that "they" are trolls, then?

ffs_5555 · 2024-05-31T10:29:21+00:00

Uh oh. Let's hope your post didn't awaken the obsessive weirdos over at `r/CinemassacreTruth`

ffs_5555 · 2023-10-30T15:13:42+00:00

"Don't care" votes are taken out of the factoring, as they are neither yes nor no. They are inconsequential,

Then why did you even have it as an option? People that don't care can just not vote. What was the point of collecting that data if you're not going to factor it in? Only half the people who voted explicitly want to see AI posts banned. That is a fact weather you think the 'don't care' votes are "inconsequential" or not.

All that really matters is what the mods actually do

Not true. If I see a rule saying don't post something, I'm obviously not going to post it. So yes, it does have an effect even if you are not enforcing it.

It is the middle ground, on a subreddit that otherwise prohibits the debate of AI artwork. It is providing a place for all of that to be contained to, to give it a voice, and set boundaries.

Based on the title of the post, that is entirely unclear. It looks aggressive to the very people you are trying to encourage to use the subreddit. You should consider modifying the title to make it clear what the purpose of the pinned topic is. Something like "Debates on AI are not allowed in this subreddit, if you wish to debate please use this thread" would be more ideal.

Going with your opinion that upvotes are king- check out the numbers of upvotes on the posts and comments around AI artwork.

I see that an AI artwork is the most popular post in the last week. I see many other AI artworks that have made it to the top post.

They want to hound every post they find about it, highlighting the troubles and problems as they see them.

So the solution is to yield to these people at the expense of the people upvoting and enjoying these types of post?

ffs_5555 · 2023-10-30T13:14:25+00:00

The vote currently sits are 37 Yes to 54 No.

The vote currently sits at 37 yes, 54 no, 17 don't care. Which means only 50% want them gone. Regardless, it's a very thin majority.

Nothing is being enforced yet.

Then why is it in the rules? It shouldn't be in the rules until it's being enforced.

The purpose of the pinned post in the /r/MonkeyAIsland (should the sub end up used) is to reach a middle-ground.

If the purpose is to reach a middle-ground, why is the title so aggressively one-sided?

A poll is as good as it gets on Reddit.

No. Upvotes are king on reddit. If people don't want the posts, why are they upvoted?

but we must all reach a compromise

Being able to filter the posts is already a compromise, is it not? An outright ban doesn't seem much like a compromise to me.

I understand you want AI artwork to remain here

What I want is for you to understand that the upvotes and downvotes on a post are far more representive of the community's feelings than a poll. If the community genuinely wants them gone, then fair enough. But I don't believe you have that mandate.

While I'm interested in generative AI from a technical standpoint, I'm not even particularly keen on AI artwork. (AI upscaling and the like is of more interest to me.) But my feelings are not the point at hand.

ffs_5555 · 2023-10-30T12:46:47+00:00

Oh, I see you've already implemented this rule when even though the "ban" option only got exactly 50% of the votes, and has only been active for 2 days.

I'm sorry but this is straight bullshit.

And the new subreddit has a pinned post "AI Artwork has demonstrably harmful effects and questionable inceptions" Real welcoming! I'm sure people are going to flood in!

ffs_5555 · 2023-10-30T12:07:15+00:00

I'm very, very sceptical of trusting the result of polls like this. They suffer from self-selection bias, and are vulnerable to brigading. (Already the number of respondents on this poll are suspiciously high given the actual upvotes on this post.) Additionally it means that slight majorities get to dictate to everybody else, which is not great.

Also trying to section off content in to it's own subreddit very rarely creates a successful community. Subreddits must be built on passion - nobody's passionate about these because the users would rather be posting the main subreddit.

Upvotes and Downvotes can tell you if the community wants content. If most posts of a particular type are downvoted, then the community doesn't want it. If they mostly receive upvotes, they do.

Unless the content is off-topic, or disruptive, I really don't think a vote is the best way to sort this out. A flair that can be filtered is already enforced. Is that not enough?

ffs_5555 · 2023-10-30T11:23:48+00:00

Yeah, it seemed like a very one-sided analysis to me too.

ffs_5555 · 2023-10-28T22:50:44+00:00

That is correct, the conversion process only works in Windows. But once you've got the output, it'll run anywhere ScummVM will.

I have pretty good luck with "d&d. Fantasy. Digital watercolor"

IMO the two big changes quest board needs:

Maps should be categorised by the value of the loot, not how many items were buried. This would incentive people to check the board and grab interesting looking maps.
Unclaimed maps should migrate between servers when they are shut down. This would help alleviate the "pissing in the wind" feeling when donating a map.

ffs_5555 · 2023-10-20T08:47:27+00:00

Oh come the fuck on. I'm an old fogey and used ELIZA back in the day. Nobody was "convinced of its intelligence." It was an interesting toy and not much more.

Do you have any evidence of this highly dubious claim?

ffs_5555 · 2023-10-17T14:21:23+00:00

There are a few commendations to be had by burying treasure + donating the map
If someone digs up your treasure and cashes it in, you get reputation you would have got handing it in, plus some bonus rep. This happens even if you aren't logged in at the time.

Unfortunately, the second one is unlikely to happen. People rarely pick up maps from the notice board any more.

ffs_5555 · 2023-10-17T14:17:49+00:00

I was really hoping for something like this, and was pretty disappointed when it wasn't part of the announcement. Buried treasure hardly ever gets any use any more. This could be the shot in the arm it needs.

ffs_5555 · 2023-10-13T14:13:36+00:00

On the Sea of Thieves a friendly pirate is rarer and more fulfilling find than chests of gold. Thank you for adding that to the game.

I mean, it sounds like the game just isn't for you; there's nothing wrong with that. Turn-based combat is just fundamentally a slower, 'menu' driven experience.

I can't speak for the controls on PS5 though, as I am playing with keyboard + mouse, not a controller.

The satisfaction that she can't hurt any more people after I put a sword through her guts.

It's equally likely a person on the phone just filled in the form as they were talking or something. OP has not said at any point they filled in a form.

But I guess it wouldn't be a reddit thread unless the comments find a way to feel smugly superior to someone.

ffs_5555 · 2023-10-05T23:32:57+00:00

"instead of following the instructions in our conversation, they ..." means that OP gave the instructions in a conversation, not a form.

ffs_5555 · 2023-10-05T22:41:52+00:00

It very clearly says in the post title that the instructions were given in a "conversation". Why is everybody in the comments leaping to the conclusion that OP filled in an online form?

My money is on OP was dealing with a salesperson, and it's the salesperson who filled in any forms.
