It’s not the same. Likely this is the very image that was fed into the AI, and the printed result sold online.
Given that these sell online, all over the place already, what would be the point? I doubt there is copyright, so it seems strange.
Then again what would be the point of OCR either. Back in the day we had generational degradation from copying over and over again, but this does look different.
Either way: meh. AI or not. Its throw away clipart.

I don’t think its AI, I think its cheaply reproduced and done over and over again.
If it was AI, I don’t think I would care, for this use case it doesn’t matter.
Here is one of the original, they are available everywhere:
I agree with the other poster, seems like someone took the original, probably changed the language, eventually changed it back and did OCR. Or some nonsense like that. You can find them online in all sorts of various states of degredation.

The title is confusing: this guy left you tube, but is coming back… To nebula?
I dobt know who he is, but I watched an episode on nebula today and thought it was good.
So used to be on YouTube, now on nebula? Is that it?

The US certainly treated the issue horribly. It became a bizarre political misinformation campaign.
At the same time obesity and mortality from covid have a strong correlation. In wealthy countries it is one of the top factors. Helps explain your stats. Still might have been better with getting vaccines and masking of course.

Well yeah. Plastic isn’t really recyclable it’s all been a scam.

I am at the point where you tube is now a rare choice. I am tired of the stupid games and adblock and trying to not log in.
Fuck it, I can do without.

No, the big mac was never the size of a whopper. I don’t think it has changed much at all. Look it up.
What did change was when McDonalds was well worth it: 5 cheeseburgers for a buck. But that was the 50’s.
- Comment on After getting Silent Hill 'back on track,' Konami wants to make it an annual franchise 3 months ago:
Doki Doki Panic
They thought Mario 2 was too hard so they took a completely different game and named it Mario for the Western audience. It was definitely not a Mario game. They just shoved Mario on it and went, here it is!
I guess if the future is any thing is “Silent Hill” as long as it is scary and spooky, well ok then. I still think it is a completely different system of game play, but obviously if it can stand on its own then so be it.
Having a game by Ryukishi07 is a good thing. Maybe they could have done it with their own universe instead. They intentionally pulled the western out in favor of Japanese themes. Which is cool, but Silent Hill was heavily inspired by Twin Peaks, and that Japenese/Lynchian stuff was so awesome, its hard to see it pulled off and still called Silent Hill.
Either way, I do think they could have refined the gameplay a bit more.
- Comment on After getting Silent Hill 'back on track,' Konami wants to make it an annual franchise 3 months ago:
Yes they basically made a game called f. Really nothing to with Silent Hill. Not the game play, not the story, not the presentation. No inner narrative horror, no lynchian underpinnings. It switched from internal to external pressures for the character.
In a way, I suppose that’s fine. Its a story in a different lens, not really a Silent Hill lens, but ok lets go with it.
Then they changed the gameplay. This is not a silent hill style at all. Forced repetition and combat loops. Stamina. Arena style game play. Well there goes the psychological and horror aspect AND they didnt even do it very well.
If you want to compare old video games, it is like Doki Doki Panic. Mario 2 in name only.

What parts of Silent Hill did you reflect on? What parts made you think, this is a really good Silent HIll game?
Or as other people have put it: If it had a different name, would it have mattered?

Back on track? It sucked.

What is with the blocking these days? Everyone is so quick to just “block and move on”.
Have people lost the ability to just skip what they dont want to read, or ignore things?

Oh fuck off. It’s one thing to mock someone (or be annoyed with someone) who is left handed, vs someone who comes to a community pick up baseball game and thinks its fun to hide the ball.
Being left handed, red headed, etc is one thing.
Being a pain in the ass in a public forum is a whole different thing.

- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 5 months ago:
Because their business plan is reduce the price, create cheaper knock-offs and eliminate the original competition.
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 5 months ago:
I wouldn’t know, I think I have been in walmart maybe 3 times in my life (they never have anything worth buying I noticed).
But I have followed their business plan pretty closely, and choosing the cheapest lowest quality everything makes me think food is the last possible thing I would buy from them. I am shocked they even carry food frankly.
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 5 months ago:
I expect them to have customers, but food? Really?
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 5 months ago:
Again? People buy food from Walmart?
- Comment on Banana 5 months ago:
There are a lot of types though. Walmart may not have them, but my little 4 meter by 3 meter patch has several varieties and produces enough bananas for about 4 families.
So someone will still have bananas.

Yeah but they were microsoft. So they sucked. That’s how it works. Maybe in the hands of someone else it wouldn’t have been Microsoft crap.

Windows needed to die a long time ago… so whatever. Same with XBOX and their phone, just a waste of time. Microsoft never made a product worth owning.
But the days of Gates saying to every department “how does this sell more windows” are long gone.
Many years ago a Microsoft team told me that the only thing important was data. The more the better. Windows wasn’t important, products were not important. Harvesting data and creating services was the future and nothing else mattered.

Well from every person I asked who uses discord, the last thing they want is to have to deal with game devs on discord. Making a website and chat is so stupid simple, I question g a dev can make a good game if they can’t do that.
