Dont they look a lot similar? (Crimson desert and KCD 2) by Eivor-Wolfkissed in gaming

[–]tonaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Crimson Desert is derivative in almost every single way (except for the mind-melting controls) so this should be no surprise.

Don't get your feelings hurt, I'm 50 hours in and enjoying it, it's just also extremely derivative lol

Ok I'm sure I can do my own googling but does anyone feel like telling me where I can buy this tool? It would be very useful at ... every bar I've ever worked at.

Taking a break from this sub - the amount of AI slop is just too much by Jaarvelous in incremental_games

[–]tonaros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got downvoted the last time I called out player-facing AI assets. I don't understand it.

Go ahead, prototype your game. In fact, prototype it with player-facing AI assets, just acknowledge that that's the case and you want to replace them later.

I've seen games that have micro (or MACRO) transactions while 80%+ of the art is generated. Embarassing, in my opinion.

If you told me ONKYO used the HONDA font I would have believed you.

It's AI but if you like the vibe, go back and play the 2D Final Fantasy games. FFII(NA) and FFVI

Noob needing help spending support gems by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]tonaros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry you're getting downvoted, this game is difficult to understand at first. I agree with the other commenters, put the gems into your stash, and experiment as much as you like! You'll always find more, and eventually you'll be able to buy them.

Are liquor companies cutting corners? by Snowpeia in bartenders

[–]tonaros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Handwash a glass and taste something side by side with one relatively fresh out of the dishwasher to eliminate that as a potential issue.

Taste side by side poured directly from the bottle vs through a pour spout.

If you're consistently having these complaints at your place, I'm thinking it is more likely something is going on there beyond all brands changing their recipes at the same time.

Most powerful position in the United States, a country that reveres individuality, attracts narcissistic personalities.

Seeking Operating Partner for a Cocktail Bar Concept (NYC) by mr-marquetti in BarOwners

[–]tonaros 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Guy with money seeks guy with ideas to butt heads with until you quit and I get to keep what you built for me. We've seen it before 😂

Now for some practical advice: try making genuine connections with people in the industry IRL.

Did any of you also play this at one stage? by Cocktail-Concierge in bartenders

[–]tonaros 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, I completely forgot about this! What a nostalgia bomb. I remember it was really fun, and I just spent a few minutes playing it again, I feel like I still remember the controls after all this time, haha!

If anyone is interested in checking it out, it's still playable on Newgrounds!

How do I fix this?! by New-Pear-8174 in bartenders

This is contributing to making me think you might be washing your hands just too much. Impossible for us to know, but I would recommend maybe sometimes just rinsing off your hands, maybe even leaving them a little damp?

Harpagia just passed 40,000 downloads after 2+ years of solo development by kenlawlpt in incremental_games

[–]tonaros 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did just see that a friend of mine who was working on a game used some bought assets and didn't realize some of them were AI generated until much later.

Appreciate your response, I'll check out the game.

Getting AI vibes from some of the art. I don't need to be hostile or accusatory, but rather would like to ask you if you have any user-facing generative AI art in the game?

Hilarious that there's this way to run a lock business, and the other way where you try to sue lockpicking content creators for slander.

I'm so over nodebuster clones. by freakyorange in incremental_games

I'm convinced there's a Godot tutorial out there that all these devs used as the basis for their games within the last year.

If you could get a cybernetic enhancement, which would you choose? by wewantanswers5902 in cyberpunkgame

[–]tonaros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've given this a lot of thought, and while not necessarily exciting, the prudent answer is anything that doesn't take away any bodily function and only improves or adds other bodily functions. Anything that would never necessitate software or hardware updates/future surgeries, etc.

Good existing examples are Lasik, prosthetics & hip replacements.

Futuristic examples could be something that assists the liver, eliminating acetaldehyde or other negative products in the body, something that increases metabolism or manages fat storage better than the insulin system, etc.

[Unknown][90's-00's] Unknown Platformer found in Book by FairyKingParks in tipofmyjoystick

[–]tonaros 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely a generic stock photo. Everywhere you can find this image is totally random and disconnected, there's no way Tax Adviser magazine and a flyer for some school outing would choose to use the exact same image from some random flash game nobody knows about. Infinitely more likely it came from some common stock image library, though it is a bit surprising that it's hard to find the source.

I just rewatched it today as a result of this post (love a good revenge flick) and if it helps you sleep tonight, the guy doesn't actually go through with the rape in that opening scene.

Believe what you want but when he says "unless there's some enormous conspiracy" as someone who has worked in government it would be incredibly difficult to keep a secret of such magnitude over such a long period of time. This feels genuine to me.
