In some cases he has used AI to remove watermarks. It changed other details of the comic. Pretty gross.

Someone needs to send this to that guy in the Comic Strips community who keeps cropping out artists’ signatures because he thinks they’re “ads”.
He hates ads so much.

When I cook for my wife’s family, I get endless, sincere praise. They tell me it’s the greatest soup they’ve ever had. They ask for recipes. The next day they sheepishly ask if they can eat the rest of the leftovers.
When I cook for my side of the family: nothing. Crickets. Which is even more odd to me since my mom never met a seasoning. Period. She does not season her cooking. One time she was tipping over a jar of Italian seasoning just to let it look at the meatballs, and she accidentally spilled some in, and everyone told her it was the best meatballs she ever made.
But I provide a flavorful, well-prepared soup, and at best I get: “Well it turns out I didn’t mind black beans this one time, but I still hate them.”

I’ve had two different people tell me that my chicken soup is the greatest soup they’ve ever eaten. If you’re not getting excited about soup, go and find better soup.

That’s a narrow definition of an art that doesn’t apply to real life. Like it or not, Marcel Duchamp won the argument over whether or not he was an artist.

You’re saying artists never look at their work and decide to change something. Ok, buddy.

As someone from Houston, Dallas is the worst. Not just at driving; I didn’t even read your comment. Dallas is the worst.

You’re right. It’s the same god damn mindless circle jerks you get in every online forum. This is why bots are undetectable, because they fit right in by commenting without actually thinking.

You don’t see the use in an artist viewing an approximation of the finished product in order to see what can be improved?
Do you suppose all conductors just write symphonies in their heads and never have to hear them out loud before deciding they’re done? Would it be useful to replace the tuba with a placeholder of a duck quacking, or do you think they might want it to sound like a tuba even though it’s not the final product?

I disagree. Artistically it can be nice to get an approximation of what something looks like so you can see it in context and decide if you want to change it.
Like what if you think something should have a one texture but then when you actually play the game you realize it doesn’t feel quite right and want to tweak it?
I don’t know much about how big games are developed, but I’ve made things before, and sometimes seeing an approximation of the finished product is necessary to see how it can be improved.

So? The definition is the same.
You can look these things up before you comment.
- Comment on Anon listens to British music 1 week ago:
So you really think the fetish came first? Because the word predates the modern fetish usage by like 800 years.
It comes from the cuckoo bird, which engages in nest parasitism. It lays its eggs in another bird’s nest to be raised by birds that aren’t its parents.
- Comment on Anon listens to British music 1 week ago:
Cuckolding doesn’t imply consent. In fact it pretty specifically implies that the man doesn’t know it. The word has been in the English language for almost a thousand years, whereas the fetish is relatively new.
Fun fact: giving someone “bunny ears” by putting two fingers behind their head used to be referred to as “the horns of the cuckold”, and it meant that you were saying that person’s wife had been unfaithful.

That’s definitely what the song is about. Have you never heard the lyrics?

For the first part, the corpulent thing, I’m just pointing out something that’s true. It’s unusual to use the word figuratively.
For everything after that, it’s because you’re kind of being a dick.

Rhetorical questions are supposed to make a point, and I’m asking you what that point was.
Now my question is semi-rhetorical because while you could answer, it’s pretty clear that your question was just a phrase you saw somewhere that you’re trying to use as an insult even if it doesn’t quite fit the context.

Ok, but what am I like that you are asking about?
- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 2 weeks ago:
Like what?

That’s strange to me. Only two examples come to my mind and they’re both literal. Whatever examples you’ve seen of it being used figuratively didn’t make it to the dictionary.
- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 2 weeks ago:
I’ve never seen it used figuratively, and all the examples in the dictionary are literal, but maybe it’ll catch on.

Too difficult. Better to ask someone who’s good at painting to do it for you. Then you can give them something, as a sign of respect, to compensate them for their time.

My wife used to work on that kind of research. Interesting stuff. She left that job to research cancer instead.

Aging, maybe. Once cancer’s gone, why not?

Thank you for finally providing the context for this image. I’ve seen it all over the place but I don’t game on PC so I wasn’t going to take the time to look it up.
- Comment on An old excuse 4 weeks ago:
If we’re only looking at the bad things a country has done, committing actual genocide is worse than destabilizing governments and overthrowing dictators.
But you’re also ignoring the good things. The US has historically provided around one third of all humanitarian aid in the world. And while it may be the perfect example of democracy, it has used its power to keep much worse regimes in check.
Saying that America is “objectively THE main world villain” is just silly. Like, you think North Korea is morally superior? Seriously? Or Russia?
