XYZinferno,

Oh damn, it must’ve looked even cooler in person I’d imagine

Rotating banners on /r/piracy (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hey mates, recently I’ve developed a tool to use the GenerativeAI on the AI Horde to created random avatars and banners on lemmy. To keep things spicy, I wanted to deploy to rotate the /c/piracy banner daily, as I’ve done in a bunch of other communities like !stable_diffusion_art and the lemmy.dbzer0.com....

XYZinferno,

But you’re not giving it up, since human-made art and AI generated images can both exist.

Sure, it could be said that AI generated images can oversaturate the internet, but a lot of sites that host art, both SFW and NSFW, have reacted by tagging AI art and allowing the user to filter them out.

There’s so many forms of art in the world and one lifetime isn’t enough to learn it all. Music, visual arts, cooking, writing, etc. I choose to focus on some art forms at the expense of others.

If the technology exists to make it easier to visually represent something on my mind and give me time to focus on my other pursuits, I’m all for it.

XYZinferno,

They turned out pretty nice! My only suggestion isn’t really AI related, but regarding the logo over it

The white border helps the black logo stand out, though maybe having an additional drop shadow could help it pop out a bit more, though that might be unnecessary. Just something I like to do when Photoshopping, but it’s purely personal preference! It certainly looks good, even without it.

XYZinferno,

Of course! I can help try my hand at it

XYZinferno,

Wow, nice job preserving it!

XYZinferno,

The first week or two of ditching the habit of opening reddit is the hardest, but speaking from experience, it gets easier with time.

XYZinferno,

Absolutely loving it so far!

XYZinferno,

Diplomatic relations with Atlantis have never been better!

XYZinferno,

I remember seeing a similar meme in an Ace attorney format

Hilarious, but I don’t think my brain cells have recovered

XYZinferno,

Switched from the Corsair Dark Core to Log G502, no regrets!

Logitech’s G-hub software is miles better than Corsair’s iCue software

XYZinferno,

This is just a theory/rumor (and partially a cope) but some people have floated the idea that this might not even be produced in Russia, and the overbearing Russian/Soviet symbolism is to throw off Nintendo and hide where it’s really being produced.

Afaik there’s no evidence to substantiate this, but if it were to be true, that would be hilarious.

XYZinferno,

If I were to get my hands on one of these, I probably wouldn’t put too many games on there, maybe just one or two that I’m adamant on playing at the time.

I do have some low capacity micro SDs scattered at home as well that should barely be large enough to house a single switch game. So worst case scenario, I could also just pop the cart out, swap the micro SD, and plug it back in to only require a single insertion.

Granted, this might not be feasible for people who just want to use the migswitch as a backup tool to put all their legal games on one cart, but for pirates like myself I’d consider it only a minor setback.

Not to mention the cartridge slot probably being designed to last a lot of insertions before failing

XYZinferno,

Cookie clicker is a famous example, I think. Passively a number goes up, and you’re able to increase the rate at which it goes up by buying upgrades and whatnot.

It never really appealed to me either, though maybe some people just enjoy seeing a really high score

XYZinferno,

Yeah wtf, the OP is just an asshole Thanks for catching that, and kudos for the “power drunk mod” for not bending

XYZinferno,

To be fair, there was a lot of pushback from religious communities against violence in video games as well (i.e. “video games cause school shootings”), so I wouldn’t say Christian influence would favor one but not the other. Mainstream games like GTA V also show that sexual themes can be present in video games and still be immensely popular.

I think it’s more so a matter of mainstream high-budget video games portraying (and relying upon) graphic violence more often than sex. There’s countless video games with graphic violence, ranging from Doom to CoD, and the similarity I see is that the graphic violence is integral to the gameplay itself. Removing the violence from these games would be tantamount to removing the game entirely.

With sex in video games, Witcher 3, Baldur’s Gate 3, and the aforementioned GTA come to mind- all of which took off and became very successful, with the former two afaik being praised by many for the sexual content available. A lot of games that “rely” on sexual themes though, from what I’ve seen, tend to be porn games (not intended to be an insult), which at least from what I’ve seen, tend to not have as enthralling gameplay as other popular games. There’s good ones, no doubt, but far fewer in number than the Dooms and CoDs as mentioned before.

At least that’s my take on it, as lengthy as that might be lmao

XYZinferno,

That last sentence almost made me spit out my coffee, kudos to that

Astronomers observe three iron rings in a planet-forming disk (phys.org)

The origin of Earth and the solar system inspires scientists and the public alike. By studying the present state of our home planet and other objects in the solar system, researchers have developed a detailed picture of the conditions when they evolved from a disk made of dust and gas surrounding the infant sun some 4.5 billion...

XYZinferno,

It’s strange to think that when modeling the conditions under which our solar system was created, it in part models everything humanity ever has been and (perhaps) everything humanity ever will be.

XYZinferno,

Lemmy got more than just “marginally” popular. It saw the biggest boom within its entire lifetime and became a viable alternative for anyone seekong an alternative to Reddit. We both still use it.

The article proves that enough noise was made to catch the attention of the biggest news publications, which remember the protest to this day. In other words, people still remember what Reddit did.

As far as online protests go, that was more successful than any other coordinated online protest in recent memory. Gotta start somewhere.

XYZinferno,

What is there to take seriously? It’s a community vote on what games people liked across various categories. If the outcome of the vote isn’t to your liking, accept that your opinion differs from them and move on. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that.

XYZinferno,

My thoughts exactly. If it’s making finding solutions to problems worse for the end user, that’s obviously bad for the end user, but it also means it’s affecting the reputation of the site in some meaningful way- even if it’s as simple as inconveniencing a guy looking for an answer

XYZinferno,

Very much agreed there. I still play Civ V to this day largely because I couldn’t stand the art style of VI. Here’s hoping VII tries something different.

XYZinferno,

If modern social media trends have shown us anything, it’s that content quality could be shit and it doesn’t matter if there will be thousands - if not millions- of people swarming to view it.

Nothing against you btw, it’s just a general frustration I have with trying to move focus away from these sites

XYZinferno,

I found a cosmetically defective Elite Series 2 controller on the cheap on eBay, so I’ve been rocking with that with zero issues.

Definitely beats buying one new that’s for sure

XYZinferno,

Yeah, the article itself makes me a lot less sympathetic towards the author than the headline would suggest, given he instigated this whole legal dispute on frankly idiotic premises.

XYZinferno,

As an older Zoomer myself, your description of Gen Z fits me to a T
