@PurpCat@matrix@sim Well, at least I've seen some post about it, accompanied by screenshots (probbly from Twatter) of artists accusing devs of stealing — you know, the usual :marseyemojismilemouthcoldsweat: Considering that artists who worked on the game worked at some diner before that — I won't be surprised they did indeed use a NN to generate some of the game's content :marseylaugh:
@PurpCat@matrix@sim Please tell me this game is actually any good and you all aren't posting about it only because some artists got butthurt about characters generated by a neural network. If it weren't on Fedi and I didn't know you guys, sure as hell I'd think it's being astroturfed. I get flashbacks to the time when Harry Potter game came out — also myriad of related posts, but nothing about the game itself, unlike e.g. the Cat Game™ — which was also insanely popular on Fedi (and probably everywhere else), but posts about which had screenshots, videos, discussions about the game itself, etc. :marseythinkorino: This… is McDonald's family ad over again: "Oh, look, someone got triggered by family not being black, ha-ha!". This time it's about the game being good, is it? Is it? :cat_peek:
@splitshockvirus@dcc@Pawlicker Can't you guys just play Xonotic? You know, like all normal people do when they feel like playing something UT-like? It's just as fun and doesn't involve attempting to run binaries built two decades ago 😏
@MoeBritannica I have watched The Matrix for the first time last year and it took me time to start believing that the movie is indeed colored like that, that it isn't some colorspace HDR-related problem :marseylaughwith:
@PurpCat Drama isn't that big if there is a migration path IMO . Their biggest instance is still toast though, that might be a problem to some :marseyshrug:
@mint https://edition.cnn.com/2022/10/17/europe/russia-military-jet-crash-yeysk-intl/index.html Was that a direct attack on Russian civilians by Russian armed forces? :marseysmug3: Even casualty count is similar BTW. Civilian casualties doesn't always mean that civilians were the target. Belgorod is right near the border, it's in the range of long range munitions, but could said munitions be shot down over residential ares by anti-ballistic defenses by mistake? Yeah, they could — that's a plausible theory. And that is exactly what Ukraine claims it was by the way. Ukraine's officials have a pretty good track record as information source, Russian officials don't — see, doesn't take a lot of mental gymnastics. Demanding surgical precision from the party that is being attacked like that every day — now that would involve some. "Multiple cities of Ukraine get targeted by a massive drone/missile attack" Who cares? They get bombed every fucking day :marseyshrug: "Ukrainian projectile hits residential areas in a town near the border" Oh my god, what savage animals they are! :marseyshock: "Israel gets targeted by projectiles every other day, most of those get shot down by anti-ballistic defenses, but not every time" Who cares! Fucking jews :marseyshrug: "Israel retaliates, announces an operation and carries out an airstrike, but there are civilian casualties" Oh my god, what genocidal animals they are! :marseyshock: Now that's what I call mental gymnastics! Right now I have reasons to not trust even the casualty count TBH — because I never trust Russian official sources. Were independent journalists, including those from foreign information agencies still be allowed to operate, that wouldn't be a problem. Luckily, I have my own sources in Belgorod — timing isn't the best, but it won't be hard to check if it's more or less close to reality, but until then, I still have my doubts. The fact that there were civilian casualties — I don't doubt that, neither Ukraine denies it, but the intent — that has to be investigated. Remember certain flight MH17 when versions started popping up by dozens from the Russian side: from Ukrainian jet to US satellite to ground SAM system (but the one that didn't belong to Russia) to fucking martians. I think that is what we are going to see in the coming days, place your bets. @AlgorithmWolf@PurpCat
@dcc Does Rainloop work well with PHP8? It's the earliest version available in Void — and sure as hell, I don't want to build this buggy piece of shit myself :marseyemojismilemouthcoldsweat:
@nishi Stop right there! I've been looking for something like that to use on my old phone in my internal network. How does it interface with the mail server, can it use IMAP? Is it in Perl? PHP? :marseyquestion:
@nishi > SquirrelMail has been implemented as the official email system of the Prime Minister's Office of the Republic of India for its security advantages over Microsoft's Outlook Express. :marseylaughwith:
@coolboymew Up (or rather down in this case) to the "doesn't have the greatest vocabulary" line you almost got me sold :marseyemojismilemoutheyes: Also > athletes > celebrities > broadcasters In what universe do these fall under "people with talents"? :marseysmug2:
@Heil_Honkler They might be, unfortunately I'm not familiar with the original material and I'm pretty sure it gets some interesting development further down the storyline, but that's not the point — I just don't like how this was executed. This is not how you do plot twists — they should not only extend the plot, but give earlier events another interpretation — not the one you've been expecting, even though that might have seemed quite logical up to this point. Kunihiko Ikuhara is the true master of this — every show by him is like a maze: it's like you leave the room and realize that all the global plot is way bigger, you just couldn't see it while you were inside that room, you might have thought that some characters are evil, but then — boom, no, in fact their actions are completely justified, maybe you'd do the same if you had their reasons, then you find the exit even from that room, the plot is even bigger than that, then another room and another one! Mawaru Penguindrum does this about 5-6 times — all within a 2-cour show. In the end he still managed to fuck the finale up and make it an incomprehensible mess, but I have digressed… But what do we have here? So, he wasn't acting alone and had co-conspirators — wow? No! More like: so what?! It means that we will see season 2, but wasn't it obvious that it's not the end of the story. I mean even the cat and the motor cycle from the opening post — they've only been used for comic relief, while it's obvious both of them have bigger roles to play, they didn't have to squeeze this plot turn into the final episode, it was wrong and lame IMO :cirno_shrug: @coolboymew
