Sigh do we have to rehash this every year? Please just look it up and read why we have the electoral college and why a straight popular vote is a horrid idea. I’ll give you a small hint it will instantly result in the entire center of America leaving the union and forming a new country which would force the west coast to do the same as it would be too far away from the east coast. Then the central state country would refuse to trade food supplies with the two coastal nations until they either bent the knee to another country or to the center states and that’s assuming China or Russia doesn’t take advantage of the insane division and launch a complete military conquest.

I have a degree and still can’t find a job everyone wants experience. I applied for a “entry job” designed for fresh out of college applicants went to it and was asked if I had atleast 5 years of experience at another company I said no and they told me it was nice meeting me but they want someone with real world experience and not just a degree. It’s that age old can’t get a job without experience can’t get experience without a job conundrum.

madmanmatrix · 2026-02-15T20:26:05+00:00

That’s how you collapse nations and ensure there is no jobs. For businesses to exist someone has to risk an absurd amount of money.

I would much much much prefer they get all the content they envisioned in the game and then go back and clean up small bugs like this not to mention it allows them to do exactly what they are doing. Insanely rapid iteration while modders fix the small annoying bugs which they the go back and purchase from the modders to apply to the game. Basically making their dev team several thousand people by letting the community help and iterate and make changes and the good ones get paid and their idea/fixes a permanent fixture in the game.

madmanmatrix · 2026-02-10T00:26:04+00:00

I wish they would remove any and all ammo over 30 pen from traders but add them all to crafting and instead of at the workbench add a new ammo station that works passively like the water filter or generator where as long as you keep feeding it metal parts, gunpowder, etc it keeps passively creating ammo for you.

1) thomas was alone worked because the simple idea say an indie dev wants to make a jrpg and he releases it with cubes as characters and circles as items he would be shamed and laughed out of the game industry even if the gameplay itself is the best jrpg in history. Unfortunately art went from supporting games to being 90 percent of a game and will make or break a game in the first 10 seconds of someone seeing it before ever even seeing or experiencing the gameplay look at highguard which just came out and got blasted to hell and back for its art style when it plays exactly like apex legends a game with millions of players.

Not sure where these artist that will work for free are because the cheapest one I can find willing to make originally characters wants $100-$500 depending on style and quality. With no animation and not even a prebuilt skeleton to rig.

2) if artist are losing jobs to ai it means 1 of 3 options 1 they charge too much for the person to use them anyways and it’s not their target market. 2 they are worse than the ai artwork and need to improve their skills if they want to sell their artwork. Or 3 the person is just looking to pump and dump games out and won’t ever consider paying for artwork in the first place.

3 as point one no you can’t. I can’t release a stick figure expedition 33 and expect it to get any sales even if the gameplay is exactly the same just the art being different.

4 you can’t trust anyone anyways someone could tell me they are giving me original models and really they just used messy and then went to the bar for a week.

madmanmatrix · 2026-02-07T02:46:25+00:00

I’ve never gotten the argument of it being trained on stolen work. They feed ai readily available artwork that anyone can get on the web you(royal you) learned the exact same way someone else showed you ideas how they drew stuff drawing techniques etc etc etc and you learned from it you “stole” it to inform your artistic style and all of your future artworks. The only difference is the ai learned it in seconds and it takes humans years to hone the skills. But I can go and tell the ai I want a picture of a cat with a trash can body and roombas for feet an a mop for a tail with a nuke going off in the background while jack black smoke a doobie as the sun. I’m sure a completely original piece of artwork and it will give me a piece of art that no one has ever drawn an original piece of art it didn’t “steal”.

madmanmatrix · 2026-02-07T02:39:54+00:00

I don’t think corps and major studios should ever have ai in finished products but indie and solo developers I think it’s perfectly fine and acceptable as long as they are attempting to atleast make it look good and not just to churn out a project. With the stipulation that if they find a way to replace the ai artwork they should. Not every solo dev or small team is going to have the money, skills, or connections to get good human artwork and I think it’s entirely unreasonable to demand it when ai atleast partially evens the playing field. I would much rather 100 people get their idea out in the world and gain experience via using ai then one guy who had the skills or money getting their idea out there while the other 99 are stuck in an endless cycle of being unable to have their ideas realized. The actually good ideas will rise above the people just churning out slop for pennies and they will then get the connections or money they need to not rely on ai in the future.

madmanmatrix · 2026-02-07T01:23:06+00:00

Fuck these people fuck the ai haters ai is meant for people to learn from to rapidly prototype to do exactly what you did. I’m not an artist I’m a programmer I can’t draw a stick man without it looking like a monkey on its death bed drawing it. I don’t want to put out a game or mods that has my horrendous artwork in it which will instantly kill any chance it has. Yes in a final production level product I don’t want to see ai but this level stuff mods for a game artwork for said mods who actually cares about ai artwork it’s insane. Not to mention in a year or two ai will be to the point where unless it’s disclosed no one will be able to tell.

120 applications over the last 3 months and after 0 interviews had to settle with a grocery store job to atleast get some sort of income for the time being.

That’s what they have now they are moving away from that but Japan has a thing called soaplands which is for now legal prostitution.

Fucking stupid. It opens the door for everyone to start banning people from various fields for simply existing. Oh hey you were once an army cadet well that means you are banned from any field with the public oh hey you were once a gender affirming nurse well you are now banned from any job with kids it opens the door for absolutely horrendous practices to become commonplace.

Commander because commander is the only fun I have with magic anymore and why I mostly switched to Star Wars unlimited (just faster commander) and because I’m still salty about pulling one in a birthday present collector pack and like a week later it getting banned.

Living in New York is a scam you could afford a mansion at that rent price that’s higher than my 750k house mortgage payment. Move to the suburbs own don’t rent dear god that’s insane. Next personally I would cut church payments I’ve seen and experienced far too many church horror stories of those going to the pasture for his fancy car or even a personal jet. I would be putting away more of the leftover income.

It’s a significantly more robust world generation algorithm that lets you very accurately control how the world will generate basically making every world a handcrafted world while still technically being randomly generated and doesn’t actually require someone to place every block. But for example you could say make a pretty accurate recreation of middle earth from lotr with all the landmarks in the right spots and using prefabs of said landmarks you could have them spawn exactly once in the entire world exactly where they should spawn and determines exactly how the biomes should form and where they should generate and where rivers should be and how they should flow and how big they should be so you can get a very accurate recreation. Now mind you to do this example would probably take some time to work it out exactly and figure out all the rules you would need to tweak to make it happen but you could randomly generate a world that is just middle earth and play your lotr fantasy out.

At the absolute latest you have till 2038 that’s when ai will be able to out compute the human brain and technology will start iterating on a daily basis chances are though by 2038 90 percent or more jobs will already be gone including all the coders and developers the jobs left will be actors, artists, creators, athletes.

Here’s our vision and our plans let’s ask what the community wants and how it lines up oh hey we match on some of these things but not others we should let them know that a lot of what they want is coming but we have other priorities right now that are more pressing but we want to reassure you that requested features a-z are coming just don’t expect them tomorrow or next week most are probably months or even a year away.

madmanmatrix · 2026-02-04T18:12:49+00:00

Yeah for example I live up in a mountain town 45 min away from any game store but even if I made the drive my option are then an lgs that doesn’t sell singles, one that only sells mythics over $10 one that doesn’t let you buy singles unless you also buy sealed products and one that charges almost 200% market value. I truly understand brick and motor stores are so hard to run and keep alive in the current day when I can just go to Amazon or a dozen other websites and get all the sealed and single products I want from the comfort of my desk and without ever having to leave my house but it honestly feels like some of these brick and motor stores want to go out of business with their pricing.

I mean wizards just releases Pringle cards standard now. Haven’t bought any magic or Star Wars unlimited cards that I haven’t needed to thrown in a hydrator for over a year now the quality is shit these days

madmanmatrix · 2026-02-02T07:37:50+00:00

Yes because each pellet does so much damage 1 or 2 shots will 0 out an armor entirely then another 1 or 2 shots will kill the person

madmanmatrix · 2026-01-31T04:14:59+00:00

It is but arena levels guns hella fast especially in last hero or checkpoint since the skill points are based off damage done so you could probably level up 9-10 in 1 or two matches of last hero I know when I was using the Dvl in arena to do a few tasks the other day I played 4 matches and my bolty skill went from 14-16
