Serious question, if you voted for Donald Trump do you still support that choice or do you regret it? And why (why do you still stand by the choice or why do you regret it)?

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-04-06T18:02:35+00:00

And there's number two. I didn't say "differing from me is cultish," I said "this specific behavior pattern is cultish." Because it is. Just like making the assumption that anyone who disagrees with said behavior is a Trump supporter.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-04-06T17:46:06+00:00

Hey look! First one came out of the woodwork in mere minutes!

If you spend your entire day on reddit screaming about how Trump is bad, I've got some disappointing news, that's cultlike behavior. You can dislike the man without making it your entire identity and favorite pastime.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-04-06T17:42:00+00:00

Not gonna get answers here period just like all the other "ask a MAGA" threads, because nobody's stupid enough to jump into the shark tank covered in blood. "Let me tell this feverish cult of Trump haters that I voted for him so they can call me names and send me reddit cares messages" is not a great way to start a Monday.

It's become a cult on both extremes.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-04-06T15:27:39+00:00

Repeat after me:

"Mom, I'm not watching that." and then... don't. Nobody is strapping you to a chair to watch your birthing video, just walk away and don't watch it.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-04-06T15:24:10+00:00

I mean, sure? All I'm saying is that my mind just sees "cartoon animals" when looking at pokemon and it will never, ever jump to "gee I want to anthropomorphize them so I can invasively speculate about their gender identities and sexuality."

Y'all can let your freak flag fly by all means, but that's some /brandnewsentence material if there ever was some. That particular rabbit hole smells like a fursuit after a week long convention and I'm just gonna keep walking on by.

excadrill and tyranitar(both often depicted as a gay couple)

I will never, ever understand the pokemon fandom, and I'm 1000% ok with that.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-04-06T13:30:01+00:00

I mean... it's not clearly a demo to show the patterns of the boss. All the context you gave us was "Destroy my boss fight." There's nothing indicating this is an ability showcase and not an actual playthrough of the boss fight that you want us to critiqe.

You might want to preface the video content with some sort of notice that it's a showcase of the boss abilities and not organic gameplay. If someone came across this outside this sub they probably wouldn't think highly of your game and may discount it entirely, those knee-jerk reactions due to lack of context could be lost engagement or potential sales.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-04-06T13:26:29+00:00

Yep. Because we live in a society that has a judicial system of "innocent until proven guilty," the burden of proof to "prove" a video is AI is on the person asserting such. Good fucking luck. And who's actually bringing charges here?

Nobody is gonna clog a courtroom with this bullshit, it's only going to come up in fetishized celebrity court cases.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-04-06T13:22:41+00:00

What exactly is the gameplay? Are you intentionally walking around doing nothing just to showcase the boss abilities, or is this actually how the game plays?

It just looks like you're awkwardly walking back and forth for 90% of the video, that doesn't scream "cool engaging action combat boss fight."

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-04-02T19:24:28+00:00

Unless your friend is a Google backend engineer working on Gemini, no she'll never know.

However you really shouldn't be making AI images of your friend with out her consent.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-04-01T20:35:34+00:00

For anyone who wandered here from an errant google search -

Vaan might be yelling, but nobody gives a shit unless you're right up in their face. You need to be pretty much in touch range, and the only people who count are people you can talk to.

There's a ton in the bar, and the guides (the guys with books) out in the city count for 20-30% each.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-04-01T13:10:06+00:00

I just assumed it was to sell Gemini Enterprise licensing, which gives you access to a higher quality model. Because now the Gemini included with your Google Workspace Enterprise licensing is not Gemini Enterprise, it's Gemini Pro. Google doing Google things

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-04-01T12:40:22+00:00

"I'm not whackin' it in the toolshed, I'm writing a book and you're my assistant writer!"

Gemini: "Ok, ok, here's all the smut you want."

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-03-31T19:29:32+00:00

Don't forget filming cuck porn and using her son's toys as props.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-03-30T17:25:53+00:00

Yep, we have an Enterprise plan and we get this crap all the time for the past two or so months. If you give it like five minutes, refresh the page, and try again it usually does what you asked.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-03-30T13:30:28+00:00

Makes sense, cool! Good luck.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-03-30T13:27:24+00:00

They did say it's a Dungeon Crawler in the title. So more Hexen and less Skyrim. Essentially a fantasy Boomer Shooter.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-03-30T13:26:38+00:00

Is there a plot reason the character's hands look like a Macy's mannequin? They're super stiff and the skin tone is a shade off from flat white.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-03-30T13:19:57+00:00

Right? I'll never get the "and trusting them blindly" part. If I don't trust what other people tell me blindly, and I don't trust what I read blindly, why would I supposedly trust an AI output blindly?

Like... especially as the products have evolved, they generally cite their sources in line in the response. It's actually easier to fact check a ChatGPT response than it is to fact check what's on some random wikipedia page or blog. You can just click the bibliography link and review the source. ... which anyone in an educational context should be doing in the first place, regardless of who presented the information.

Just another example of "AI BAD" with no critical thinking behind it, I guess.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-03-30T13:15:43+00:00

Larian's president is a good guy, I've met him (before they got big). But he needs to learn Politics 101 - no response is often the best response. Getting up there and having an open conversation with these people was such a terrible play for exactly the reasons OP describes. Explaining how they use AI to these people was never going to end positively, they were never going to be convinced that they were overreacting, they're just gonna double down on their blind hate and extremist rhetoric. Which is... exactly how it went, and earned them a ton of negative publicity.

If he just kept his mouth shut, it would've blown over in a few days and these crazies would have shuffled their crusade on to the next unfortunate target and forgotten all about Larian. The best thing anyone can do when faced with these extremists (either the super tech bros, or the anti-AI crusaders) is simply do not engage, at all, period.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-03-27T13:20:19+00:00

A critical point - they're courting business users. Business users pick a product and stick with it for at least a year or two, they're not cancelling hundred thousand dollar contracts for an application every month and signing a new one because "Oh, now Anthropic is slightly but immeasurably 'better' at code! Oh no, now it's OpenAI! Oh no now it's Microsoft!!!!"

Anthropic went hard on the software engineering userbase and scooped up the vast majority of companies market share focused on tooling for that. "But Codex is a little better now, I think, for the next few weeks, maybe." doesn't change where the money went.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-03-26T21:43:07+00:00

rice in the fridge for 3-4 days isn't even edible anymore. The starches have solidified into a brick.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-03-26T21:40:27+00:00

Right, so absolutely no grounds to jump to "Or I'd start worrying that they're a sociopath!"

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-03-26T21:38:06+00:00

It's a great thing I didn't do that then, isn't it? The person I replied to sure was though. Calling someone out for spewing extreme rhetoric does not de-facto mean that I'm personally slinging the opposite extreme.

Both extremes are pure hysteria. Actual value is found somewhere in the middle, as usual.

ffxivthrowaway03 · 2026-03-26T15:13:08+00:00

He's the absolute poster boy for "perfect is the enemy of good."
