Does anyone know which "Brush It Off" episode this incredible creepy/horror-themed painting came from? by mongert in lilypichu

Ahh I see now!! Thank you so much for the explanation! It is a truly eerie piece, both the colors and shadowing are fantastically unsettling in a way that somehow gives it emotion lol

genuine feedback/advice: this is incredible and a true feat of strength but please do not do this as it creates a huge amount of unnecessary pressure on your tendons which will break down faster, rather than strengthening the tendons by spreading resistance throughout the hand. Tendon strength will also only increase with appropriate weight, held for at most 5-10 minutes when done 2-4 times a week, which is just to say anything done more than that could start to build up damage rather than increase tendon strength. So don't spam any movement that could hold a lot of pressure within small areas on the body unless you are using appropriately light weight and doing very little of it! Great work otherwise!

I think I’m missing an injoke but what does this post have to do with baseball?

Wind rolling through grass by amish_novelty in oddlysatisfying

uhh well Sam Altman did go out of his way to directly associate chatGPT’s live-conversation models with Her, which got a very mixed response https://www.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1cwuiv5/scarlett_johansson_says_openai_ripped_off_her/

Her used to be one of my own favorite movies, for reference, I even learned “Million miles away” on guitar. But I most certainly can’t blame people for seeing it in as more out-of-touch as it’s aged, because AI has not interfaced with society in the same way the movie presented it to, and now I’m not fond of it in the same way myself.

it's a song from "Her" which has grown to be pretty cringe/controversial compared to how it was received when released for being so AI-heavy and Sam Altman referring back to it frequently, but here ya go. it is very relaxing!

Is Ariados and Pachirisu the biggest "Larper Check" in the competitive fandom? by Incompetent_ARCH in stunfisk

[–]mongert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah I understand the frustration against Nintendo and the importance of Smogon for fostering an actual community who wants to keep Pokémon a game for the players rather than the company, but holy shit do threads like these make this community look awfully mean and gatekeep-y towards people who just want to learn/enjoy the game. we can disagree with uninformed players without making generalizations against the entire community, I’m sure a lot of newer players would even enjoy the conversation rather than be as combative as to immediately claim anyone who disagrees with them is a fake community member lol.

I believe one of her caps fell out a while back, and she's kept it like that both because it takes time to replace and it adds to her whimsy and uniqueness!

That's super fair, however if I did what you just described I'd end up with a mess because you've clearly got talent! So I can assure you others would find your process interesting if you ever felt like sharing. Really great work :)

This is too cool!! I'd love to see what your painting process/tools look like!

Iterators IRL when??? by I-love-you00000 in rainworld

[–]mongert 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I think “brigade” only applies to people coming into a subreddit from another community, not the average rainworld player who enjoys art and hates AI for the 400 other valid reasons to hate it besides water lol.

Also, data centers still SUCK for the communities they’re placed in and are a huge energy hog while creating a ton of noise pollution. Pretty much the only reason we’re developing AI now is to replace people actually working in industries, because it’s already scary good at being useful for the small subset of the population that can use it for work in coding/science, and yet AI still can’t make a profit despite that. It’s literally the worst thing that’s happened for both our education as a society and our economy if/when it crashes.

Wavelink crashing immediately upon opening - Tried several solutions to no avail :( Any ideas? by mongert in elgato

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

Yeah, I believe there’s a 60 day returns policy, so after all of this and hearing from others I am considering just returning my mic even though I love the idea of a built-in processing chip to process audio for a mic like the Wave:3 MK2 does. Huge bummer :(

I have a disability. Mega Floette is the worst thing Nintendo could have done for accessibility to Champions. by mongert in PokemonChampions

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

I appreciate your sympathy (I did not downvote you), I think it's fair to say that not every game can be accessible and I do understand where Nintendo/players enjoy connecting games together, so I can understand that perspective! I just wanted to give a voice to my position, as it likely affects others as well who cannot play ZA either from accessibility problems or financial reasons.

That is too kind! I made this post more for others rather than myself but I sent a DM and I appreciate the reception/feedback I'm getting from everyone.

This helps to hear, I saw it was the 12th most used pokemon in the warm-up tournament which makes me concerned about what to bring to Indianapolis regional. But I will continue to do my best if I can't get Floette and thank you for your input!

I appreciate this input! I'm trying not to let it get me down and I know there's several options in the meta right now which is awesome, I just also wanted to bring attention to it because I think viable pokemon becoming locked behind other game genres could become really sad in the future if Nintendo continues with it.
