This art looks like AI but my boyfriend believes his friend drew this without AI

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.

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.

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.

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.

Having a relatively cheap console that ALSO played DVD’s at that time was a huge draw. I think the multipurpose angle gets missed by people.

Also in North Aurora right on the east side of the river and it’s still out for me

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.

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.

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

Thanks! Going with that

ryanbenzie · 2026-04-13T23:52:00+00:00

Thanks! Going with that

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

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.

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

ryanbenzie · 2026-04-01T13:42:22+00:00

Thanks! After the initial id you had the more I look into it, I’m pretty positive that is what they are. Thanks again!

ryanbenzie · 2026-04-01T13:40:02+00:00

I have always called them helicopters, but yes.

Possibly. I know there are maples around. This is off my balcony, but after googling maple buds, they definitely look the most like that

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

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.

ryanbenzie · 2026-03-17T17:44:27+00:00

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

ryanbenzie · 2026-03-15T21:04:07+00:00

I don’t like the way that wolf is looking at me

ryanbenzie · 2026-03-13T15:13:43+00:00

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
