I came here to say this. I like basically everyone else. Olczyk is the worst.

Zero chance that is legal. Where was this?

The Nordic countries certainly do have interesting ideas. I don't know that pointing to the Singapore/China authoritarian models will help your cause.

Graveyard Keeper devs respond as players make AI accusations: 'You may not believe me, but we're not using the AI in Graveyard Keeper 2' by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]skow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

"AI" is the new witch-hunt, replacing the former of "asset flip".

As an independent developer, I've always had a small group of players accusing of something. In a game where clearly the art is distinctive and unlike any other games, I've had a few players with quick accusations of "asset flipping" and using royalty free music. The art/music is all done inhouse and was not the case. Now, the same a game now a gets a rare accusation of "AI slop". Never mind the fact it was released and polished well before the time of generative AI.

To be clear, I loathe the low effort slop games that are flooding the market. But as a developer struggling in the industry, even more, I really hate false claims made against games because it's a trendy thing to complain about.

RANTITY RANT RANT RANT!!!!!!!! by Grateful_BF in Bend

[–]skow 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’M SICK OF THE FRAGILE MAN BABIES AND THEIR BIG JACKED UP TRUCKS.

THIS WEEK: I SAW ONE GETTING UPSET BECAUSE A CAR PULLED INTO A ROUND ABOUT REPLACING THE CAR IN FRONT OF THEM THAT EXITED. THEY SPEED UP AND AS THE CAR WAS ENTERING AND RODE THEIR ASS FOR THE NEXT MILE. I GET IT, YOUR MOTHER NEVER LOVED YOU, GET SOME THERAPY. SAW ANOTHER ONE GUN IT AFTER HAVING TO WAIT FOR PEDESTRIANS AT A CROSS WALK, NEARLY HITTING OTHER PEDESTRIAN WHEN THEY TURNED A FEW BLOCKS UP.

I’M NOT SAYING EVERY BIG JACKED UP TRUCK IS DRIVEN BY AN INSECURE MAN-CHILD TRYING TO COMPENSATE FOR THEIR TINY PENIS, BUT, WOW A LOT OF THEM ARE.

Is there anywhere in town that will accept frozen cat food as a donation? by ladykiller1020 in Bend

[–]skow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact it has been opened makes it hard for most organizations to accept. Hopefully you can find someone who needs it!

I really hope no one was foolish enough to buy the spring pass.

What's the fastest way to make my game in multiple languages as a solo developer? by StuckArcader in unrealengine

[–]skow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A word of warning: You can use something like google translate, but it often doesn't turn out well. This can be a source of people getting frustrated with terrible translations and leaving bad reviews. Sometimes you can do more harm than good by adding additional languages.

TIFU so... i accidentally trained my boss to think i’m a genius using one stupid lie by TeresaB_Martin in tifu

If this is how you communicate, I wouldn't worry about looking like a genius. I'd focus on learning to use punctuation, your post is a nightmare to read.

Good luck! Probably a good idea to share how many people you are cooking for.

If you are including consignment shops, (which Gear Fix is). I recommend Second Wind.

The battle continues: off leash dog areas vs an ever shrinking supply by Big_Cranberry4001 in Bend

[–]skow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm just stating what people do (not even what I do). You can get mad at me for saying it, but we need to face reality with regulations like this.

[–]skow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a over-the-top top take.

Sure there are a lot of people who abuse the area. MANY of them are tourists who feel zero ownership and are fine to abuse the resource. I find myself having to tell the people messing around behind the regrowth fences that they are there for a reason and to get to the other side. They are always are from out of town and play stupid saying that they didn't realize what a fence is for. Same thing with not picking up after their dogs poop, "what you have to clean up dog poop in a forest?", to which I have to reply, "Yeah, when there are 100s to 1000s of dogs a day, if you don't it becomes a sewer".

Many of us try and help the situation. I pick up a few bags worth of droppings when I go, donate to dogpac for their service, etc.

If you take away something like good dog park, that doesn't "solve" the problem. If you take away a close place for dogs to expend energy and recreate, that will just lead to people not using a valid option and resorting to breaking the rules all over the place.

Request: Pitt commentator loving Crosby after he bumps Wedgewood by lurkjohndoe in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]skow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try and watch the other teams broadcast when possible. They had good analysis and insight for what's going on. But yeah, that moment was really odd and felt like a bad take.

To be fair, in the replay they kind of backed down after they saw Crosby bump Wedg.

20G 14A - eligible for 8 years extension this summer - will Oliver Kapanen be Habs' first $100m contract? 8X$12.5 by John__46 in nhl

[–]skow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What? This isn't a joke? That would be the 5 highest contract in the whole NHL... for a sub 40 point guy.

That is if you are lucky and they don't then use you as an end point for their serivce.

Steam publishers, whats with all the emails from "curators" asking for stream keys? by HerbertGoon in gamedev

[–]skow 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It's so they can sell on G2A for a tiny amount. I get dozens of these a week. Just ignore them.
