I haven’t needed to insult you yet. Why would I? You, by your actions and responses have been more than sufficient. I just pointed it out.
The hope was to drive home that parroting (ey! callbacks) an opinion that isn’t yours isn’t wanted or useful.
And I know, I know - you don’t read much:
I didnt read your posts.
So let’s use your words to have fun:
I think its funny that you keep talking to yourself. You probably feel like you need the last reply too.
I think it’s funny knowing how many times you’ve set yourself up in this thread. See that quote? That’s me using your words as bait.
I could just copy and paste your own quote repeatedly and you’d either be compelled to respond - making yourself that exact thing… Or being the one that was forced out of the exchange: beaten with your own words.
So… Polly want a cracker? 🦜

That was obvious from the go. That’s exactly why I said you were dull and made the comment that you let somone else read things and tell you what to think. I appreciate the confirmation.
Maybe you can save even more time by not bothering to post next time too.

Cheers. Hopefully you learned something. I’ll admit I had a giggle at the situation when I noticed your username.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 4 days ago:
Maybe I do. Who’s to say - unless you want to tell me what I do again?
Its been rare to see somone so utterly dismantled that their only response is to repeat the observation I made at the end of that thrashing. It is almost comical how you just set yourself up for a callback to the parroting and echo chamber comments.
In closing:
Even if I did have a blog, I think it’s apparent, by now, you’d just wait for somone else to read it and tell you what to think.
xoxo

Oh cool, now I’m an irrational person who reacts quickly. Thats a good start.
The full body of your response disregarded the core meaning of what I was saying. You didn’t understand something but just powered on through with your opinion. Which if we can appreciate the irony:
You, like many, are looking to burn a company at the stake over what I would clearly describe as a very polished product… Over an asset that, they mistakenly left in. Can you comprehend how batshit insane that is?
My response was measured and pretty on the nose I’d say.
Do you even know the point you are trying to make? You make a bunch of preconceptions and then claim you won’t do that, so thats fun too.
Considering the consistency in what I’ve said in this thread … I’d say I do. As far as me making preconceptions: again I’d recommend you take a look at what I wrote and read it again. (We have a trend developing) I gave my reasons: and I provided the logic behind it. But if you’d like to drag this out: go ahead and show me what my “preconceptions” were. I’ll wait.
You can keep writing nonsense arguments all you want, you aren’t an artist and should probably do what you said and shutup instead of making a bunch of assumptions.
I posted facts, I provided commentary on them, and even provided an example as a parallel. You, by your own words: didn’t understand the example (and made no attempt to), you ignored the nuance of the commentary, and preceded to put your ignorance on full display here.
And apparently you want to complete this nonsense by implying you know me or what I do. I dont recall knowing anyone as dull as you that suffered a headwound … But I’ll jog your memory:
Staring with the key topic:
I’ve signed more NDAs and non-competes for multiple, well known, gaming companies … Than years you’ve existed on this planet. So let’s just say I have “some” industry knowledge.
You mentioned I’m not an artist: another bold claim but… Its broad so let’s cover the bases.
I started my career in design. I’ve worked with 5 color printing presses. I’ve been paid for my work, although digital art, which has been seen by “roughly a country of people” around '04. Not enough for you? I maintain a circle of artist friends, who - over time have filled my home and consequently one of my closets with their works. I am honored and grateful that I’d be trusted with someone’s original blood sweat and tears condensed into a single medium. I’d be forgiven, I think, for speaking on their behalf. If not? They know my handle - they have my number - and know where I live…
They can @ me and tell me to shut up. You can’t.
I could go on but I think I’ve made my point sufficiently in this long post. Go crawl back to the echo chamber from whence you came. If you are capable of critical thought - it has yet to be demonstrated.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 4 days ago:
What does NASA have to do with the creation of art? Art and science are not the same thing. What might be good for progress technologically, like flying to the moon, might not be good for a different field.
Reread the comment instead of irrationally reacting before you understand the context. Calculators used to be people. Literally. It was a job. I brought up NASA as an example because, very famously, their “calculators” were part of history… So it should have been well known enough for people to see the parallel. But then I guess ever since moving to digital boards for math we can just downplay all subsequent achievments because the scientists didnt work hard enough.
Art is all about the time and energy spent. If Clair Obscure came out of an AI machine that took 3 minutes to create it, most people wouldn’t play it and it wouldn’t have won any awards.
If I’m not mistaken those artists’ art was well recieved. I find it interesting that so many people seem intent on defining a world they aren’t part of. Wacom tablets are tools, are digital artists not real artists because they don’t use paper?
Know any artists? I know quite a few. I wouldn’t dare inject my preconceptions on their process. Who the fuck am I to tell somone what is or isn’t part of their process. Traditional media, music, …even architects use tools to help iterate on their ideas - and their lives are easier for it.
But please, explain to the class why your ideals supercede their own.
Cutting corners or “saving time and energy” is the opposite of exploring creatively, and these tools are not capable of unique thought or inspiration.
Speaking for everyone? That’s bold. Is that your process or are you just a bobblehead parroting what someone else told you to say?
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 5 days ago:
AI as a monolithic “thing” is bullshit. Fugazi. We relabled a ton of tools like OCR and other pattern recognition engines: “AI” to capitalize on the sheer stupidity of the average investor. Artificial intelligence indeed.
I digress. Tools save time and energy. If a team can prototype a space and become more immersed in their project faster and with less effort - so much the better.
I’m for tools as effort multipliers. My initial statement implied as much. I don’t see us running back to rooms full of women doing math at NASA and discarding the digital equivalent.
Look - everyone is absolutely sick of “AI” being jammed into everything. I get the raw response to it… But the concern isn’t about renamed tools; it’s not about a glorified chatbot being an “ok” facsimile. No company would spend billions on that. No - they are spending billions on a product that they could care less if it could reason. If by some chance they could make an automiton that was good enough… That could work without stopping, with no rights, for free: Its slavery. Literally they are gambling everything on a shot at replacing every single worker they currently employ. That is short sighted, ignorant, bullshit… which deserves all the hate it gets and more. But that - ain’t this.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 6 days ago:
Look I’ve seen the hours those studios and devs put into design… If they want to prototype using a tool? Nobody’s losing a job over that. Its a couple hours saved from doom scrolling though your existing assets looking for something temporary.
Yeah, it slipped out though the cracks. But then how many games are loaded with “Unintended Easter eggs” because people are human. I don’t get it. The event is no more novel than finding an untextured brick off the beaten trail or a picture of a dev left in following an in joke amongst the team.

I second this. I am currently still using the waxed canvas bag from the distilled collection and all I’ve had to do is replace the strap from wear. Its seen rain, snow, and shitloads of abuse that would cause these cheaper bags to just disintegrate. Its old as shit by now but aside from being well worn - is still perfectly functional.

Sure. That’s fine. Get paid. Devs need to eat (I sure do.)
Did it have to be opt out? Did some of the settings need to be buried in about: config? Its not even remotely a shock to any internet denizen that AI isn’t openly loved by all. Put simply they opted to act first and apologise later. Actions have consequences. They likely had meetings and decided the money was worth upsetting people like me who would react negatively. I’m simply fulfilling my part of the equation.
They earned my trust and patronage by being more secure and faster - and principally “less evil” than rhe other guy.
And they lost it doing this.
- Comment on Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman looses his YouTube channel after AI error 1 month ago:
Right there with you. A fair number of companies are as well. Unfortunately not all software is “uniformly supported” so its really a mixed bag when it comes to who can flip the switch and who can’t.
There’s a lot of costs to consider as well.
All said - it says a lot when companies are willingly taking that plunge just to shed micro$ofts shit.
- Comment on Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman looses his YouTube channel after AI error 1 month ago:
Most “bypasses” are using admin tools and commands to keep accounts in company or local for enterprises. Its hardly hacking. Microsoft just wants to forcibly inflate their registration numbers. Same thing with one drive, the start menu pulling bing content… Etc.
Its gonna get worse faster as people bail on the eroding enshitified os… Making them try to forcibly lock in other people on the platform harder.
Related: DRM and piracy. The more invasive it got - the worse it was for paying customers… While the DRM would be stripped out by the pirates. You’d think they’d know better.
- Comment on Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman looses his YouTube channel after AI error 1 month ago:
Google like many companies are looking at AI like the next slave trade. Free labor that doesn’t need sleep, ask for wage increases, or have rights. There’s a reason so many companies are trying to brute force AI right now. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out why humanoid robots are being developed.

uBlock works just fine for librewolf BTW.
Firefox lost me after they snuck ai bullshit into the browser and suddenly went from an efficient browser to dogshit tier right next to edge. If I need to about: config AND look up how to disable some garbage a dev shoehorned in… I’ll spend that time downloading a browser that doesnt forget its only job is to render the thing I clicked on as quickly and efficiently as possible. If I want something more I’ll use an add-on.

Agree to disagree, I suppose. The OP could use a colon and perhaps a small edit for clarity. That’s a far cry from nonsensical ramblings. But I cannot speak for your ability to digest a post made quickly - so if that’s how it was received: I imagine the explanation should have been sufficient. But then your response suggests otherwise. My point was made, and clarified, which to me is sufficient. If you can’t work though it - that’s unfortunate but acceptable.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US 4 months ago:
I can break it down:
Why is this happening to us (the consumer)?
Asked by the consumer who has broken records buying the switch 2 with the batshit insane clause: “We can brick your console for any reason and are denying your rights to how and where you can sell your purchased games.”
That’d be the gimpsuit.
Shall I detail the number of times nintendont has overstepped it’s legal rights and trampled on those of developers, consumers, and frequently their own employees?
Nintendo’s lawyers know no boundaries. They frequently get apologists making excuses for them while they force their will on whomever they please. What they need is a solid kick in the teeth and to be told to fuck right off.
Why are they jacking prices up? Why are they inserting assinine clauses in user agreements.
Because people just love the abuse apparently. That’s certainly what the market appears to be saying: “Yes daddy N. punish me harder.”
I believe that summarizes the intent of my original statement sufficiently.
I didn’t think it required that much thought… but apparently I was mistaken.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US 4 months ago:
The market conditions are nobody kicking Nintendo’s lawyers in the teeth and telling them to piss off… regardless of jurisdiction.
Follow that up with the consumer base clamoring for a gimpsuit shaped like the switch 2 and you get this result.
“Yes corporate daddy, punish me harder”

Nintendo isn’t just the nestle of companies to users… they are the same or worse to their own.
I’ve seen people lose teams over errant comments about a novel idea for the IP they would love to see happen, or maybe even be developing as a passion project, purged for the notion that they were anything more than drones.
It’s a disgusting work culture taking advantage of bright eyed developers that grew up with fond memories of the brand. I genuinely love some of the IP and worlds made by the developers - but I will never, ever, spend a fucking penny on that company until it is changed.

Look I don’t fault developers for kissing the ring. I know and have spoken with multiple devs at different Nintendo affiliated companies and they don’t enjoy it either but it lets them make the games they love for the people that they want to entertain.
I can’t say I support hating a full group of people because that’s not great either. “… except for the Amish but it’ll never get back to them” - John Pinette
