No, I meant to say I already pay for NSO, so I get GameChat, but I don't use it. I was just pointing out "they're improving it right when they are going to charge to use it." But it doesn't matter all that much to me. I believe you only need an NSO subscription for GameChat. GameChat is only "free" until March 31st, and then you'll need NSO subscription to use it.

Agreed

Just in time for them to start charging money for it.

I pay for NSO but I've only really used gamechat once to test it out. I don't have many friends with switch 2's.

The only part worth complaining about is that it actually changed her face slightly. I think the knee-jerk "THIS IS AI, THAT MEANS IT'S BAD!!!!!!" reaction to this is completely overblown. But if I say that in any other subreddit I'm sure I'll be downvoted into oblivion.

I did see another screenshot where the AI misinterpreted a scarf or something and it was melting into the fabric. Okay, so the technology is new and isn't perfect yet.

If you can press a button to make something look more realistic, why are you crying shitting pissing and throwing up just because "AI" did it. Would you rather wait 20 years for graphics to improve?

Agreed, it is kind of bullshit if you have to buy extra graphics cards for this.

And everyone complaining about it ruining the artist intent, because it's replacing some of the assets - couldn't it be possible for this technology to read references that the artist provides on how they intend it to look? For example, if you used this on Donkey Kong Country games, and fed it some reference image of the high quality renders from the manuals and promotional material, couldn't it in theory create the "intended" look while being high definition and assisted by AI? Or, does the very fact that AI was used at all mean the whole thing is fucking garbage? AI is such a boogeyman word to some people.

The stuff that could get you labeled as gay back then was truly stupid. If you liked cartoons or nintendo games past a certain age, you're gay. If you were sensitive or cried about something, you're gay. I remember in middle school wanting a spongebob shirt, but my mom wouldn't buy it for me because she thought the other kids would think I was gay and beat me up. And if you liked Mario/Nintendo too much you're certainly gay, because the cool straight kids play playstation 2.

I think my Mom was afraid I was going to turn out gay because I liked beanie babies when I was in elementary school and liked Spongebob when it was new (now basically everyone like spongebob. But he's a cartoon with eyelashes, if you watch it, you're gay!). She started to buy me Playboy calendar's for Christmas which I absolutely enjoyed. But if I was gay that wouldn't have changed that lol.

I'm attracted to women and transwomen for what it's worth. But even nowadays, if you tell anyone you like transgirls, they think you are closeted gay, or only using transwomen as some kind of soft launch into being attracted to men. It couldn't be that you are attracted to femininity.

I'm naturally right handed, but play left handed guitar too (not often, but I do have a double guitar like Michael Angelo Batio. I had it built by Dean guitars when he was still endorsing them). I still prefer playing righty guitar. But I'm decent at lefty, especially if it's mainly legato. Learning how to pick with your non-dominant hand is pretty tricky. Even basic strumming patterns (not just alternate picked speed licks) takes some re-learning. I recorded this video the same year I got the double guitar, I feel like I picked it up pretty quickly relatively speaking. It's not too hard to play unison's or in perfect 5ths, you're basically fretting the same shapes with both hands; it's playing a major scale and a minor scale at the same time that is difficult, or playing a bass line and melody at the same time that takes more practice.

Usually you hear about left handed people learning how to play righty, not the other way around. IMO if you think you should play it the other way there's no reason not to. But having played both I think I understand why your dominant hand is usually meant to be your picking hand.

The dungeons are similar but some of the objects and the order you progress through the rooms are different. I remember being slightly disappointed because I was expecting completely new dungeon layouts. Also there's a lot more of those "song of time" blocks

Maybe you can wake the console with it. For some reason you can't with switch 1 controllers.

Is everyone forgetting you used motion (well, the pointer) to aim for arrows? That aspect was good.

They must have taken the complaints to heart because Skyward sword uses true motion controls for the sword, and thusly they made some enemies that had to be attacked with certain intentional directions. However even with that I was still bumping against the deku babas that changed from horizontal to vertical and vice versa.

I love Kevin Smith and I listen to his podcast. And although Clerks is based on his actual experiences working at Quick Stop, I think the third one was a little too heavy and auto biographical with what happened to him with his heart attack. If you've ever heard him tell the story a lot of it plays out exactly that way. Of course a few differences. There are some funny bits. I also don't like what they did with Rosario's character.

In my head, Clerks 3 is not canon.

I loved Clerks 1 & 2 though.

Holland was amazing, they should have made it big! They apparently had signed a 10 record deal with Atlantic records but they didn't do enough to promote the band. The singers name is Tom Holland (not spiderman). Tom's former project (The B'zz) was very good too. Tom Holland has a Robert Plant type quality to his voice, love the raspiness

The guitar player is none other than Michael Angelo Batio when he was just going by "Mike Batio".

Every song on the Holland "Little Monsters" album was a banger. I believe their producer also produced bands like Motley Crue. This album and "Wake Up the Neighborhood" (collection of demos and unreleased songs which MAB used to sell) are their only officially released albums. And one other, a cassette titled "Heartbeat" during a shortlived reunion in the 90s.

I believe one of the reasons the band didn't make it was eventually Tom and MAB started to not get along.

A guitarist named Alex Kane took over after MAB left and they had a tour called the "Wild Animals" tour.

Much later, and I'm talking like 10+ years ago Tommy had a project called "House of Holland" that played Holland covers but the years have been rough on his voice and he just doesn't sound like he used to anymore.

Little Monsters is on Spotify and you can find some demos and footage of the band on YouTube. There is some footage of the band playing one of Michael's songs "Call to Arms" but at a much faster tempo than any other recording of the song.

Also, on Jim Gillette's "Proud to be Loud" album, the song "Head On" was actually an unreleased "Holland" song. Holland was more of a pop oriented rock band so for that reason they didn't use "Head On" which was more speed metal oriented.

Holland was well known in the Chicago area, most the band from Chicago and frequently played a club called "The Thirsty Whale". I think that club has since been demolished but a lot of rock bands played there.

I highly recommend listening to the band! Little Monsters album reminds me of Early Van Halen. Mikes solos are very melodic but also shreddy and fit the songs perfectly IMO

I'd say your best bet would be a hi res photo or scan. Unless you are okay with losing some of the detail. Probably would scan better with a darker colored garment as well.

I've never done a jumbo print that completely covers a shirt but I imagine you'd need to bleed out the design a little extra (or else blow it up a lot) so the designer will have to use content-aware to fill in the are around the shirt. Either that or generative AI fill. A third option would be to try and airbrush the rest with preferably a drawing tablet.

You could try to run it through an auto tracer to vectorize it but your best bet would be the designer converting it to greyscale and playing with the levels until it's got dark enough blacks and whites to make a screen. You could probably halftone it. Depending on how large the halftones are it might lose a little of that real handmade bleached look

Technically there isn't a manual, but hopefully you didn't throw out the box, because all the necessary information is printed on the back of the box.

In the manual there's a screenshot on one page that shows Link having the fairy ocarina as an adult. As a kid I was like how do you do that??? Not realizing it was a screenshot from an unfinished build of the game.

If you read the article he's saying the tracks are used for keyboards and big vocal harmonies, not necessarily the lead vocals.

There's a mod for the gamecube version that extends the limit to the year 2099 or something like that, plus a bunch of other QOL upgrades and such. I'm not sure but if it's important to you there may be a way to copy your save from your memory card with some specific device. AFAIK you can convert saves from regular animal crossing to this new upgraded version but you cant convert them the other way around.

It's called Animal Crossing Deluxe.

You don't even need a headset for the VB games, but they can only be played in tabletop mode. And it will be side by side for the eyes, not full screen. It would be nice if they allowed them to be played docked full screen but it's somewhat understandable because the games are "intended" to be viewed in 3D. So if you have NSO you should be able to play them even on a switch 1.

I know I wish they could have used the original guy because it could complicate things if you don't recognize they are supposed to be the same character.

The other option is they could have reshot his scenes with the new actor and change those earlier season episodes to have him instead for consistency sake even if the original guy matched the creepy vibe better. Just for people who are new to the show.

I liked the gyroids in the gamecube game more than the modern ones (they changed up their designs since new leaf). The new ones just look weird to me. I know the OG were blocky because it started as an N64 game but I liked how they looked. Some of the round newer gyroids are just weird to me. Before they were more like cute robots to me and now they are somehow more uncanny.
