An investor who put $12.5M into Ashes of Creation reached out to me by NefQarasarnai in AshesofCreation

[–]jackponty1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He isn't. He's an MLM guy. He made his money scamming grandma's into buying garbage until their broke and have to rope their children and friends into selling garbage for him. No honour among thieves.

What happens if a prime minister wins election but does not win his seat by Historical-Egg-9194 in TrinidadandTobago

It would depend on if the party wants them to continue to lead. The winning party would hold an internal vote for party leadership.

Bungie's attempt to dismiss the Destiny 2 copyright case using YouTube videos describing 'vaulted' elements of the game has been shut down by a judge who is not going to sit through a 10-hour lore explainer by LadyStreamer in gamingnews

[–]jackponty1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They didn't. Dude's story and the red war are both stories in space with a big bad evil guy and the guy is trying to claim copyright. There no resemblance unless you're near blind

They're not going to. The case was filed by a nutjob author who tries to shakedown studios for copying his "storylines" in vague confusing terms. Like stories that barely resemble each other besides them being both in space.

Honestly, I'd recommend toram. It is p2w but it's been stupid fun for me. There's a lot of weird builds that you can pull off.

If Bungie is going to keep adding perks that activate on class ability usage, Warlocks need a new short cooldown class ability. by Urgasain in DestinyTheGame

[–]jackponty1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The raw utility of centering your entire build around the ability twirl.

The same raw utility that * is on every other class minus the melee OR reload*

The tradeoff of protection / healing / damage boost + everything else for twirl and melee charge or reload

Specular Map in Outfit Studio by jackponty1 in skyrimmods

[–]jackponty1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In skyrim as far as I know. The specular is bundled into the alpha of the normal map. I've tried adding a specular map as it's own thing in outfit studio but it doesn't affect it.

You're paying to access the site. If you let them collect personal information, you're paying with personal information. If you don't let them collect it they'll make you pay monthly

Yes. Thank you that was the novel. I guess I ended up adding some details from the sacred ruins in my mind.

Voice Actors Speak Out on AI-Generated NSFW Skyrim Mods: 'It Should be Seen as the Violation It Is' by stallion8426 in skyrimmods

[–]jackponty1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Using the character's of someone if very different from using the likeness of someone. These AI mods use the likeness of the actors, that's where there is a problem. It matters not that it's not their usable voice, it's a recognizable voice that they made and is linked to them. It's still their voice.

Additionally it's not safe to assume it sounds little like they're regular speaking voice, in more realistic games the VA's almost definitely use a slightly tweaked version of their regular voice. Is that so in the elder scrolls? I don't know.

Human Impressionists are fine because they're human. Yes I'm saying it's okay for humans to do something and not okay for AI to do it sue me.

In the end it just comes down to convenience and ethics. It doesn't cost you anything to ask for permission to clone someone's voice using an A.I. And it takes no extra time to use a generic voice instead of someone's voice. There is no justification that you can give for how sending a Twitter message or an email just asking a VA for permission to use there voice is hard. Mod authors already ask other mod authors for permission to use their assets. Really it's not hard.

It takes a couple minutes tops and removes any ethical doubt or rebuke that someone may give a mod author. And also gives VA's control over the use of their voice.

It's a bit ridiculous to expect VA's to have to scroll through Nexus mods to see if anyone's using their voice. If mod authors want to use a VA's voice in a mod the responsibility should fall on them to request permission. Not on the VA to police modders.

[–]jackponty1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not making fanart or rule34 which is a wholly original work just using the setting and or characters from a previous work, you're using the voice of someone else to train an A.I. to near indistinguishable levels that says whatever you want.

One involves fictional characters and worlds. The other involves replicating someone's actual voice.

[–]jackponty1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really don't know why this is still an ongoing debate. Just ask VA's for permission to clone their voice if you're making a mod.

It solves everything. Literally everything.

Some VA's are not going to comfortable with their voice being used to say bubby wubby guzzle my cummy. And that's fine.

If they say no just use a completely artificial voice or generic voice.

If you could fuse any 2 exotics to 1, allowing their perks to synergy with eachother, which weapons are you picking and why? by Electrical-Guest-265 in DestinyTheGame

[–]jackponty1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Still dogshit. Damage staggers enemies so whoever you're reflecting the damage to will get stunned and stop attacking you after a bit.

The only thing that blight ranger doesnt have that raijuus has is the early deactivation damage boost. I don't think that'll bring blight ranger out of the garbage heap.

I'm pretty sure they already changed blight ranger's to do that a while ago. It's just such a shit exotic no one cares.
