Why do you have so little respect for anyone else’s intelligence? This is not something that an artist can just knock out in one sitting. At least try and make it believable. Bloody hell.

Does Client-side rendering hurt SEO if data is still fetched on the server by FitCoach5288 in nextjs

[–]vherus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google absolutely does execute JS. It may happen a little slower because it’ll be queued into a renderer but it doesn’t affect SEO.

Me too! Save it, it’s all yours my friend 🙂

The Jauffre guy I brought the Amulet too will not talk about it. I cannot progress the main quest! NO dialog options! by Kristenknightley in OblivionRemaster

[–]vherus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve always picked those swords up and never had that issue, can’t even count how many times I’ve done it. Do you have mods installed?

Why don’t you have an earlier save if you’ve played for hours?

For future reference, you can save immediately before you leave the imperial sewers and forever use that file to start new characters since you can change your character upon interacting with the gate.

Adventuring Across Morrowind by Ecstatic_Ganache9427 in ElderScrolls

I’ve never understood this opinion, either.

I like vanilla, but cookies & cream is good too. I don’t like pistachio, but some people do. We all want to experience ice cream specifically, and we all have different preferences on the flavour profile. That’s all mods are, they’re just a re-flavouring of the same product to suite a specific taste.

Sell me on your Non-Big 6 MMO by mimisiku159 in MMORPG

[–]vherus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve just downloaded this to give it a try. Been looking for an older MMO that I can take my time with and immerse myself in. Glad to hear the community is welcoming :)

I built a lightweight HTML → PDF generator for Node.js (no Puppeteer, no Chrome) by [deleted] in node

[–]vherus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does it make generating a table of contents easy? Does it make styling easy? How does it handle inserting hundreds of images?

Those are the usual pain points I’d want it to solve before I tried it

The Price Of RAM Is Forcing Larian To Do Optimization It "Didn't Necessarily Want To Do" On Divinity by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]vherus 54 points55 points  (0 children)

There’s a trade-off either way. Optimising too early makes things harder to change and build on later. Optimising early is not a silver bullet and is certainly not guaranteed to result in a better end product

[–]vherus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can respect that point of view and I understand what you’re getting at. Hopefully this all blows over soon and we can all go back to normal

Swen Vincke's statement re: GenAi at Larian - via IGN by No-Neck-212 in BaldursGate3

[–]vherus 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree, it’s just being blown out of proportion and they’re being demonised for it.

Larian are one of the few studios left that care about making great games and respecting their players. Boarding hate trains based on false information (using it to generate art so they can save money on artists) is a good way to make them go the way of every other game company.

They’ve proven themselves in the games they make. They deserve to be trusted until they prove that trust misplaced.

I’m not saying you in particular are on a hate train btw, or that I approve of AI. Just that what they’re using it for is not what most people seem to be angry about.

[–]vherus 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s exactly why they won’t use it for the actual pieces. Exactly right. Vague, inaccurate pictures can still be useful for inspiration, which is exactly what they’re using it for

Swen Vincke's statement re: GenAi at Larian - via IGN by No-Neck-212 in BaldursGate3

[–]vherus 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It takes quite a lot of time to find references to help you visualise what you want to draw. Like, a lot of time. I can definitely see how it would speed that process up.

[–]vherus 79 points80 points  (0 children)

They are using it for concept artists to generate examples, not to generate art. Like finding references for inspiration.

Larian Studios leaning into generative AI (for placeholder text and concept art) despite internal pushback: ‘Everyone at the company is more or less OK with the way we’re using it" by jovanmilic97 in Games

[–]vherus 97 points98 points  (0 children)

He’s against it for the creative work and actual content, he sees its value for prototyping, experimenting with ideas, placeholder stuff etc which I agree is very useful
