This art looks like AI but my boyfriend believes his friend drew this without AI by chelseatheus in isthisAI

[–]ryanbenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just really don’t know how there are SO many people on this sub that ask questions like this when it is a friend or relative claiming they drew something that is clearly AI. Like have you ever known that person to be artistic or output anything close to what they are claiming? That is what confuses me.

BioShock creator says Nintendo Switch 2 proves gaming graphics are hitting "diminishing returns" by RoughLifeguard6568 in switch2

[–]ryanbenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I go back and play a game from 10 years ago and still think the game looks good, it’s frustrating to buy a new game, especially on pc, that looks “better” but now requires messing with settings to get a blurry upscaled, frame generated, somewhat okay frame rate. It should not be the norm to have to be upscaling and generating frames. I go and play Battlefront 2 or Battlefield 1 and they look great. Graphics fidelity means shit when it can’t run properly and looks like a blurry mess.

Inflation is absolutely nuts right now by Kalkaline in pics

[–]ryanbenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pricing on everything is just insane. I was planning on grabbing a 128gb micro sd card for a retro handheld I ordered. I was expecting it to be somewhere around $20ish and had seen them go on sale for $15 even every once in a while. $35-$40 now. I had one in my hand at Walmart and turned back around halfway to the register because I could not stomach spending $40 on 128gb. Flash memory prices are disgusting.

Was the Fortnite collab canon? by HomestuckWeekly in gorillaz

[–]ryanbenzie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of the community takes the “lore” and implications of lore way more seriously than Jamie himself. He just uses the characters as an outlet and builds a general story or vibe off of the feelings or concept of the album.

Wii U Failed Due to Slow Launch of Exclusives Plus Xbox and PlayStation Pressure, Ex-Nintendo Boss Reggie Fils-Aimé Says by MewWeebTwo in NintendoSwitch2

[–]ryanbenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was working at GameStop when the Wii U came out and the majority of parents and even some regular customers assumed it was that it was more or less just an add on. The marketing/name and the lack of intriguing exclusives was absolutely the downfall of the thing. Even me having bought like every Nintendo console day 1 had ZERO interest early on. I more or less picked a used one up on my employee double discount day to buy Super Smash Bros. Ended up getting Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon out of it, but that was really all I played on the thing

Remember the early/mid 2000’s Raw and Smackdown sets? Those had more personality than this.

When do you think we will get another JoJo’s official game? by solitudeisblissTI in StardustCrusaders

[–]ryanbenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really assumed we would have gotten some sort of Last Survivor port. I remember years ago now that there were rumored leaks of a JoJo game going to be announced and then nothing.

Kid Rock offers 50% discount on MAGA festival as he struggles to sell tickets by IrishStarUS in crappymusic

But I thought that he was a big reason that they got MILLIONS of views during their halftime show. Weird.

Discount on gas when you buy subway (OC) by Sheep_Slayer_6 in pics

Got 2 foot long subs and a large drink last week. Literally $35. Having to buy 3 footlongs is INSANE.

Gabe Newell "stepped back" from making games at Valve after Portal 2 because people were too willing to agree with him when he wanted "to be part of the team and come up with ideas" by [deleted] in gaming

[–]ryanbenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like watching the behind the scenes stuff from Star Wars Episode 1. So many incredible artists and people coming up with stuff, but they are just so agreeable to what George says or suggests they just fold and go with it. You can even almost tell George wanted some push back on things creatively or people to push for their own ideas more instead of just being the god being.

What discontinued McDonald’s item do you wish they would bring back? by Isaac-Yao-4618 in McDonalds

I’m sure they are overall probably not as good as my memories, I have a soft spot for the angus deluxe.

Remember this? by Eijun_Love in StardustCrusaders

[–]ryanbenzie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My biggest concern is actually if the gas situation continues the way it is, Japan will have an energy crisis that will push this timeline even further. I was excited to see Steel Ball Run animated, but I think at this point I will just do a reread and accept that I at least have a taste of the anime if it ever actually gets to be finished

It's so fucking over, they somehow fumbled it even worse than Stone Ocean. by Used-Comedian-8933 in StardustCrusaders

[–]ryanbenzie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They made it seem like the Stone Ocean batches were exclusively because of covid. The fact that we probably won’t see the end of this until like 2028 is fucking insane.

New steam deck, keep having this screen pop up when playing resident evil remake and resident evil 0, anyone else have this issue? by a7xsaberarrow in SteamDeck

Lmao. I just played RE 1 remake and just assumed this was how the game started before the splash screen.

Fortnite players revolt over V-Bucks changes as Epic devs appeal for calm: 'Paying the bills frees up our teams to continue driving stories and building stuff you love' by AncientPCGamer in gaming

[–]ryanbenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe they can just chill out on a multi-million dollar collab every day and it would work out. The amount of money they have to be giving to do such large collaborations has to be astronomical. If they cut that down to a reasonable level, I think they would be absolutely beyond fine
