You can be your fursona alright with just skin paint and some fabric, fake hairs but you can’t afford calling oneself a cheapo on one of your biggest dreams.
- Comment on AI banners: what owner sees vs what I see 6 days ago:
I’d need a time to make my own versions, like a couple of days, but I won’t go with a straight regeneration of AI image, and my two-three initial design ideas are:
- Go with the harlequin theme, but make the hat on top of the A a rich two-color geometrical pattern like it’s usually depicted, with the main dome and side domes.
- Drop the A, and make it just a harlequin face, although it doesn’t make it anarchism-related, and picking red-black or any other flag color is limiting.
- Drop the A once again to make a red or white circled… B? Since it’s a B-tier or even /b/-tier anarchism-related humor, and most people are in the know to descipher it, why not, lol?
- Or make it F+, for both flip and the unpleasant mark we get for not reading theory.

If that’d become a popular opinion, it can be turned into a vote, and maybe a fun contest for replacements 🤔 Imagine having a vote that is not about drama, harassment, atomization of fediverse but a low-stake negative commentary causing a good change with a side of community-building? I’m not against machine learning, but I am for nice events ;3
- Comment on Always with the hidden fees. 6 days ago:
The main downside is my legal fees are rapidly approaching the cost of the tank so I hoping we can have them pay these.
If having hallucinations and diarrhea was on norovirus, then what’s that? Shitting themselves and delusions seems like their bread and butter.
I will shit in the tank, and make them pay for it!

Also, poor people are likely to already encounter a massive polluter or nuisance being dropped around there for no benefit to them.

The only people consciously against it are either pedos themselves or politically inclined to want masses of young dudes enter their adult life already empoverished and kneecapped.
- Comment on Why Games Now Take 6+ Years To Make 2 weeks ago:
If we assume the faith of most games gets decided by a board of directors based on a short 10-slides pitch, it’s easy to see that videos and screenshots, made up numbers and popular hashtags (openworld, moba, ai) are what lets them be greenlit. Pertnering up with AMD/NVIDIA so they patch drivers for your project alone, so your game at least launches, is pro and not a con.
EA doesn’t have fly wrinkles and we do, with the help of AI, in Betamax 9k MetaHD.
The only way to get under surface for a tripple A game publishers is test groups, but I don’t think this can touch the question of gfx/performance/effort because everything is presented on capable hardware, scenes handcrafted to impress, and it’s hard to point out anything about visuals unless they are hella ugly.

I thought they did it already, or not them but some other band… Weird. I remember reading about the same LLM-like projection with portraits of people from their crowd + random comments.

I pretty much enjoyed that vid from Asianometry: youtu.be/kgT6pTW8w44 It’s about mobile industry and past trends in China. Maybe that’d lead you to another topic in your posts.

What are you about? Did I misunderstood your original reply?
- Comment on From Yellow Cartridges to Steam: A Post-90s Gamer’s Chronicle of China 5 weeks ago:
That was interesting to hear, thank you. I don’t have anything to reply as of now but a suggestion to make your posts a chain of replies. One comment - reply to it - reply to that: in that manner it would keep them in order next time you’d be open to write something.

You should go to ML ;) they will care.
It’s genuinely interesting to know. Your reply sounds bigoted and dumb. Is quokk.au the right instance for you?

- Comment on “I genuinely feel GameNative could replace handheld PCs like the Steam Deck” — Inside Android’s Fastest-Moving Gaming Project, GameNative (my article!) 1 month ago:
Reliable Android emulation of Windows’-compatible work programs is, too, a rather interesting niche. Laptop-alikes of tablets with a keyboard are popular in lower budget segment, and if they become viable replacements for desk job workflows, that may cause corpos to consider that.
Russia has a couple of Linux distros and companies providing custom compatibility settings and wine prefixes to set a client with all the ancient accounting software they are used to work in, so there is a market, but the one completely unprepared for Android devices being capable of doing it as well as desktops.
I’d suggest the dev to look into it because, I suspect, when the turtles of corpo world would take a taste of that, they may form a competetitive market of providing GameNative’s tooling to their clients in exchange for extremely beefy contracts, while outsourcing resulting errors back to them to fix.
- Comment on How do department stores decide the designs they want to put on T-shirts 1 month ago:
Sometimes I wonder about this too, since many of their pics look as random as your second hand store inventory. Many of them either look like random parts of past collections or designer’s portfolio, or a copyrightable copy of something they see as trendy today. E.g. the Michigan one doesn’t convey any message whatsoever but replicates the aestetics of said paraphernalia being popular on Insta, just like the slop engine would.
- Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game? 2 months ago:
Yeah, it’d be cool to have a non-purely-fighting MK. Beat em ups and action-rpgs of Platinum come to mind. This could be neat releasing today.
After rather simple but fun cabaret minigames in Yakuza series I started to wonder if Fallout:NV could’ve had a casino management sim sewn in it’s storyline. Opening Tops to the public and operating it from the given appartments, finding staff, exploring the needs of Vegas’ visitors could have been nice to further explore the difference of life on the Strip vs the wastelands, even as it’s own game akin to Shelter.

- Comment on its actually worse bc ports are counted twice for 2.0 & 3.0 2 months ago:
Video. If there is something mindlessly excessive, it’s always video. And if you have tree leaves for budget, instead of slightly more expensive hardware controllers or PCIe cards that can combine multiple inputs and outputs, and do it right, you default to cheap usb dongles per device used, and compose them on software level. If you collect inputs from several devices and output these to something like displays on a scene, while also collecting audio from mics, DJ deck, and outputting these too, numbers add up quickly. This clownshow is further expanded by unreliable software, usb power, Microslop Windows in most cases - because pros use it or Mac, no penguins. I have no pride in greatly exceeding what some random PCs could predictably do, for fixing random errors here and there when USB and USB hubs hit their practical ceiling is just another level of Dante’s hell, for all us time- and harware-restricted tinkerers.

So having to redo that three times was… annoying…
You are in for a little trolling. Notice the moment when you see the opening title screen for the first time. You haven’t seen it yet (:
Game won’t let you miss anything or lock you from content for any reason. I can only suggest you to look out for materials you see in the wild, as you’d need a lot of them. Have a nice time with it!
- Comment on Xbox just revealed Gaming Copilot is coming to "current-generation consoles" later this year 3 months ago:
Idk. I’m criticizing it and am not a person to use it. If anything, I’d like to read human-made guides myself. But, yeah, if Cortana/CoPilot would do anything, it would be just a neuro summary of first links on Google that you can get by voice inputting prompts. MS has no technology to insert itself into every new game in any way but with this crude and slightly context-aware voice assistant.
- Comment on Xbox just revealed Gaming Copilot is coming to "current-generation consoles" later this year 3 months ago:
In a Hello Google kind of way, I guess. Creating a summary of existing web pages, hoping it would be somehow correct.
- Comment on Xbox just revealed Gaming Copilot is coming to "current-generation consoles" later this year 3 months ago:
I think that there is a niche for platform-provided guides like on Steam. They’d probably not be user-created on consoles tho because of a potential liability for what 69_gamer_420 wrote, but either game studios themselves or existing 3rd parties could’ve created a web app to serve their guides in the overlay or integrate these into the game itself (prerecorded ghost-players?). If it could have been put as a standard accessibility feature by Microsoft, I could see it happening. And I find it more probable than a genuinely helpful chatbot because of too many dependencies on context in each and every game. I’ve already got unasked advices on a few games that boiled down to using mechanics not present in exact games I was googling about.
