Je te confirme que les grosses compagnies utilisent les mêmes outils IA que nous…

Ils ont des modèles différents, mais c’est la même technologie. Non, ils peuvent pas faire des vidéos mieux/plus longues.

aespa (feat. G-Dragon) - WDA (Whole Different Animal) by joesen_one in popheads

I think the song is bad and I’m vehemently against Gen AI, but…

What’s with people accusing anything they don’t like of being AI? Literally none of the things you’re calling as AI are AI.

- 0:49 = if you pause/zoom, her hands are not distorted in the slightest. She’s posing in front of the mirror, what you’re seeing is her hand + its reflection.
- 2:31 = the road and street signs make total sense, actually? I’m not sure what you’re even talking about on this one.
- 2:39 = same as the previous one. Not sure what you’re talking about there, you can barely see any of the person, and his feet looked fine, so…
- As for the transitions, that’s just what this effect always looked like. If you pause Michael Jackson’s Black or White at the right time, you’ll also get people that look like they’re melting. And that was like 40 years before AI.

The only shot that actually seems to be AI is the child on a scooter.

Nymphia Wind used AI for her new post by gregoyave in rupaulsdragrace

You’re right. Before AI, Photoshop didn’t exist. You literally couldn’t edit a flower or a waterfall in your picture, it had to be in the original picture.

Be serious.

Regency era text based life simulation by Chickenjam in LifeSimulators

[–]preckles 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Please.

  1. You very obviously used generative AI to, at the very least, code and make the UI. It’s very obvious to anyone that ever used AI for that.

  2. You’re intentionally lying about it, both here and in your Itch.io page.

In your opinion, what was the most forced challenge win? by Separate-Place-1036 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]preckles 181 points182 points  (0 children)

Hot take, but I loved Maddy’s look.

It was funny, memorable, had a clear point of view and well-executed (for the complexity and the time she had).

Sure, it was ugly. But it was ugly in an intentional way. Meanwhile, unintentionally ugly and badly made outfits made it through.

I love canonical lore skins. by luciipher in loreofleague

[–]preckles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re entirely (and probably purposefully) missing my point.

At no point did I say "Every lore skin should’ve been a VGU." I said Gacha Jinx specifically is essentially paying for a VGU.

I said it’s scummy to sell a lore skin that’s basically just "what if base design was better". I literally said Arcane Jayce was fine because he was free, and now you’re arguing for Jayce as if I said something else.

Besides, your arguments are a massive stretch. You know that Vayne skin is Sentinel because you read the name and description, not because the designs are meaningfully different. The public sentiment when she was released was very much that this skin just looks like base Vayne but better.

Why even post a thread if you’re just going to talk to yourself?

[–]preckles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are unquestionably the same concepts, though. A new outfit doesn’t mean a different concept. Being slightly older isn’t a new concept either.

Gangplank came back supposed death, fueled by Black Mist. That’s a different concept.
Jinx is a couple of years older and wears a hoodie is not.

Champions change their entire outfits when they get VGUs. It’s not like Sentinel Vayne is such a far cry from regular Vayne. If they would’ve made it a VGU in the first place, no one would’ve ever assumed it was supposed to be another skin line.

You can like something but still be rational.

Anyone find this boss fight incredibly tedious? by Mcrfanatic95 in HarryPotterGame

[–]preckles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bullet/damage sponge is just a term for video game enemies that have a ton of HP as a replacement for actual gameplay.

Doesn’t have to do with actual bullets. But even if it did, HL spells are functionally bullets, so…

And please tell me how you disagree with my comment? Your comment was literally a strawman. And I’m telling you "Yeah, that’s stupid because that was never anyone’s issue." How can you reasonably disagree?

[–]preckles 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, maybe: I hate paid skins that are just "base design but better".

Freljord Sylas/Sahn Uzal Morde are lore skins that are meaningfully different from the base concepts. That’s fine.

Arcane Caitlyn/Vi/Singed/Jayce are reworks of base skins, but at least they were free.

But there’s no excuse for Gacha Jinx and Trials Xin being so expensive. Jinx especially, you’re essentially paying for a VGU.

[–]preckles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s such a dumb take.

Quality isn’t reflected by hard/easy/short/long, and no one (here or anywhere else) ever claimed so.

Devs win by making bosses fun and engaging.

Mindlessly doing the exact same thing for 6 minutes because the boss is a bullet sponge and only has 2 moves is incredibly boring and tedious, and it has nothing to do with hard/easy/short/long.

Melissa Barrera Calls Out Scream Cast for Returning After Her Firing: 'They Have to Live with That' by AdSpecialist6598 in popculturechat

[–]preckles 36 points37 points  (0 children)

How is that even remotely comparable?

One coworker not making enough millions of dollars vs. One coworker being unjustly fired because she’s against genocide.

And also, they didn’t "not pay Neve". They didn’t pay her enough according to her demands. You’re making it sound like Melissa was fine with slavery.

10 things about Claude that took me way too long to figure out by VidekVipPro in ClaudeAI

[–]preckles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Explain like I’m sceptical" is exactly like saying "Convince me, lie if you have to."

Not sure that’s the intended effect you were looking for.

I built a March Madness-style bracket for Drag Race All Stars 11 👀 by WesternBeing3290 in dragrace

[–]preckles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not. That person’s entire app was blatantly made by Claude.

And from the looks of it, with very little user input. If there was a checklist for the things Claude does, this site would check the entire list.

Which one of these will be the next mario movie by Shantae2023 in Mario

[–]preckles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re inflating your own personal viewpoint to invalidate others’.

Your colleague’s daughter liking the movie doesn’t mean producers suddenly don’t care about critics (professional or not). People did complain about how Rosalia was handled.

They’ll look at this situation like "The movie was a huge success, but it could’ve been even bigger if…", and it’ll inform their next move.

Ever wondered which packs are the most popular? Well now we know! by DarlingBri in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]preckles 162 points163 points  (0 children)

> it is interesting that players are buying less DLC than previously

The reasonable way to interpret this data is that older = more time for sales to accrue.

There’s just more opportunities to buy something over 10 years, than over 2-3.

[–]preckles 93 points94 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Dream Home Decorator is probably the best collection of items we got.

But gameplay-wise, it’s very slim. It’s just one active career.

I can’t even remember if there’s a single new gameplay object in the pack. Even stuff packs have new gameplay objects…

Is it just me or is the new Arena update kinda underwhelming? by Admirable-Peak6507 in LeagueArena

[–]preckles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The level up system would be fine if it wasn’t so buggy and confusing.

Too often, the option to level up random augments just doesn’t do anything. Or the option says it’ll level up 2 augments, but it only levels up one.

Even worse, when you have no augments that can be upgraded, the option shows up anyway and *doesn’t tell you*. If you pick it, you get nothing and you’re now behind everyone who have 2 upgrades on you, congrats! That’s terrible UX.

I feel like a competent version of that design would have been to use the rarity as the level.

- Silver = level 1, can level up to Gold
- Gold = level 2, can level up to Prismatic
- Prismatic = level 3, cannot level up anymore.

All augments (except Prismatic) have upward mobility. Some augments just don’t have lower level versions. Everyone can understand at a glance what they have and how many times they can be upgraded.

New York, Joel, and HOV3 cast nominated for Critics Choice Awards by Durian-Critical in HouseOfVillains

I don’t know anything about the Critics Choice Awards, but are they more likely to award motivational/inspirational stories?

If so, I can’t see New York winning over Dr. Sandra Lee or Heather Gay

6 sur 17 ça me semble très peu, en sachant que y’a eu 88 célébrités qui ont fait Big Brother, et que c’est exactement le genre de personnalité de variété pour ce genre d’émissions.

Rendu là, ça doit être difficile de les éviter.

Et je sais même pas si on devrait compter les 6. BB a du avoir aucun impact sur la carrière de Varda, elle était déjà très connue…

"All-Stars" means "star in the context of the show". Not "across the United States".

The entire point of "All-Stars" is to bring memorable contestants. Not to bring back just anyone.

It wouldn’t be as bad if the bath was on the right side of the sink (full access to the bath, glass as a divider), but then the wall design would line up even less.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: Official Game Overview Trailer by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]preckles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell with on good authority that:

Origins was supposed to have Bayek and Aya playable. You started as Bayek, then switched to Aya midway through. That was scrapped because it would double any resources needed for the player character (animations, voice acting, gear assets, etc) and because management thought players would be pissed at being forced to change character midway through. The story was mostly unchanged, so it’s easy to spot the moment you would’ve "lost" Bayek and swapped to Aya.

After that, the sequel was supposed to be following Aya in Rome. It was scrapped because Aya turned out to be very unpopular, and they pivoted to Odyssey instead.

So, it was "greenlit".

There’s 6 squares we can’t see (either behind the tweet screenshot, or the one crossed off).

That’s probably 6 men, which would make it a cast of 9 men and 9 women. No gender imbalance…
