  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owlcat is using generative AI for The Expanse Osiris Reborn, but the final game will be "100% human made"⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  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?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owlcat is using generative AI for The Expanse Osiris Reborn, but the final game will be "100% human made"⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon listens to British music⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hmm⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what, sure. I’m on board.

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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?'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Like what?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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?'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never seen it used figuratively, and all the examples in the dictionary are literal, but maybe it’ll catch on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Corpulent means fat. Is the technology fat?

  Second time this week I’ve had an occasion to use this gif. Shame I couldn’t find one with more pixels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨billy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we cured all forms of cancer with the ease of taking a pill, what would be the next thing medicine would put the biggest focus on?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we cured all forms of cancer with the ease of taking a pill, what would be the next thing medicine would put the biggest focus on?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An old excuse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  • Complains there’s no nuance anymore.

  • Provides the second least nuanced take ever.

  Week? My daughter rode bikes to her school in 30° and ride home in 73°. Choosing her outfits is very difficult this week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but what if I become famous for writing children’s books one day? Then I’ll feel like a dummy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s mostly visual for me. Like when a woman lifts her arms, it makes other things more appealing, so there’s an association there.

  On the lucky occasion I’m with a woman who doesn’t shave, I just want to pet it, like if I could pet a squirrel. Like, what even is this? It’s so rare and adorable.

  Anyway it’s times like this I think I should have an alt account on Lemmy.
