RIP FromSoftware.
- Comment on Wallace & Gromit fans appalled by the AI upscaling on new 4K UHD release 1 day ago:
I’m also kinda skeptical that this stuff has as many applications as are being touted.
These models can do a LOT of different things. If you don’t see that, that’s an education problem, not an AI problem.
And combining these capabilities in new and unique ways are only going to make things even more wild. It won’t be very long at all before my “Ummmmm, I’ll have aaaaaaaaa” order at McDonalds doesn’t need to be taken by a human being and there’s just a single dude in the back running the whole place.
- Comment on Wallace & Gromit fans appalled by the AI upscaling on new 4K UHD release 2 days ago:
Criticism of AI taking jobs is a fair take. Even if AI only makes the workflow more efficient, that’s less people that need to be hired in the industry. It’s fair in realizing that AI is valuable, and is doing amazing things, while also criticizing the downsides of using it.
AI is in its infancy. Different techniques are only going to make it better and better at what it does - it will end up taking jobs. But just broadly claiming it’s bad because you can’t read words that already weren’t readable in the source material is silly.

Plenty of collectors are not enthusiasts.

- Comment on Wallace & Gromit fans appalled by the AI upscaling on new 4K UHD release 4 days ago:
I think it’s totally fair to either ask for AI upscaling to stop happening on purchasable media, or to ask for it to be clearly labeled as such.
Why? People keep buying it. The method of upscaling doesn’t matter to most people - only enthusiasts.
- Comment on Wallace & Gromit fans appalled by the AI upscaling on new 4K UHD release 4 days ago:
haha, what a bunch of reactionaries. I love how they point to a completely unreadable blur on the original, and go “Seee?! You can’t read that in the upscaled version!!” – as if you could in the original.
The upscales look great with the exception of some fine detail of the shadows on the back.
- Comment on Funko gets community noted 1 week ago:
Bro, GhatGPT wrote a better apology:
Dear Community,
Look, we know we sell little plastic figures—not games, not platforms, not anything remotely digital—but somehow, we’ve managed to trip over our own shoelaces and knock something precious to all of you right off the shelf. Yes, we’re talking about itch.io, and yes, we understand the gravity of what happened.
We’re not going to sugarcoat it: we messed up. We’re not entirely sure how the dominoes fell this way, but somehow, through a series of unfortunate events (and probably some poorly-thought-out legal maneuvers), our actions have impacted an entire community that thrives on creativity and passion. That was never our intention, and it’s not who we want to be.
The truth is, we’re sitting here staring at our little figures, wondering how something so small can lead to such a big screw-up. We know this affects you, and we’re genuinely sorry for the frustration, confusion, and anger we’ve caused.
We don’t expect forgiveness overnight, but please know we’re working hard to make this right. We’re talking to the people who actually know what they’re doing (because, let’s face it, we clearly don’t), and we’re committed to doing better moving forward.
We value this community more than you realize, even if we’ve done a poor job of showing it. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you’ll give us the chance to earn back your trust—not just with our figures, but with our actions.

You should read your own suggestion there bub.

I think you’d be awfully surprised calling yourself “as left as they come” on here. There are some people who are so far out in left field that they come back around on the right again.

TPB is a honeypot now.

I’m claiming them for the day when Epic games store shuts down and they give out keys for redeemed games on steam. I’m playing the long game. :D
- Comment on Why do we use the term Ban when it's temporary? Why not the more accurate, Suspension? 3 weeks ago:
I dunno, I’m with you on this OP. Ban implies permanency, suspension implies temporary.
- Comment on What games have you put the most hours into? 3 weeks ago:
ARK, WoW, and Warframe.

Ding ding ding folks. Wilhoit’s law: Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 4 weeks ago:
You should read your own link, because it also mentions that by the end of his term, most disapproved.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 4 weeks ago:
It was viewed as illegitimate inside the US too. And yeah, I remember, even as a 17yr old at the time, seeing the event happen live and lamenting to my mother that we were going to have another Bush term over it. Historically for America that’s always been the case.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 4 weeks ago:
Nobody thought that at all. Most presidents sitting during outbreaks of war retain their positions. You’d have to have been in a complete echo chamber to believe this stance.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 5 weeks ago:
Thankfully, despite naming them like that, it doesn’t actually seem to have any real purpose.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 5 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure Java doesn’t have pointers, so writing a hello world application isn’t gonna fuck up nearly that hard.
The one thing he forgot though is that your source file is probably in
com/companyname/net/classes/factory/factoryfactory/worker/lib/bin/refresh/jdk/model/ui/closebutton/press.java
And spread out among a million other directories, and the java file is like…3 lines. But there are 10k files spread all around directories like this that are all 3 lines a piece with a class definition.
- Comment on If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump? 1 month ago:
I know enough history to see where this is headed. I hope it won’t be an immediate firestorm, and I feel as if there are a lot of people in a lot of high up places that won’t just let Cheeto-man arbitrarily take control like he wants. So it won’t be an overnight thing. I already stockpile ammo, Republicans don’t have a monopoly on gun rights, thankfully. If I gotta skedaddle, I have both a place in Canada I can stay, and a place over in the UK temporarily. I’m, unfortunately surrounded by these imbiciles - but I keep my head down enough that most of them think I’m one too.
Germany wasn’t an overnight thing either. It’ll start with rounding up political rivals and immigrants into camps. If that comes to pass, that’s my litmus test for getting the fuck out of dodge.

Yeah, the whole “Cult of Personality” thing is solidly in Trumps hands - because look at him: The guy never backs down off of a lie. He can’t. He won’t. No other republican has had the bravado to be that stupidly bold.

That’s how Putin did it; probably the guy guiding all of this.
They have term limits over there in Russia as well, but they have interpreted it as “only allowed X years in a row”…so Putin installs a crony for 1 session every X years, and then magically wins the votes by a landslide every other time.
That’s what they’ll end up doing. They’ll ‘interpret’ it as consecutive terms, and we’ll get 8 years of Trump, then 4 of Vance, then 8 of Trump, etc.

Bonus: I believe they’ll be doing something wild with Vance as well - probably temporarily making him president, while he pardons Trump for any past crimes, and then giving the presidency back to Trump.

I believe the goal and intent is to get enough results into question that they kick it into Mike Johnson’s hands - and that mfer has almost no history at all. No bank account, nothing. He’ll do the thing, it’ll be contested, it’ll go to supreme court, where – surprise surprise, they’ll rule in favor of Donald J Trump and he will be elected our new Dictator.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Are we talking who is going to grind the election to a halt, and then force this to go to the house, where they unceremoniously decide that Trump gets to be King?
