Truly the end of an era

CG animation 🤢

Vimm’s just got a ton of games taken down too. They’re still up, but at a significantly reduced capacity.

I tried Linux as a daily driver for a couple months last year. I distro hopped quite a bit in that time and ended up settling on Manjaro. It was a pretty good experience over all, the only reason I switched back is because I couldn’t get mods to work with Guild Wars 2 without crashes, but every other game I played worked fine and I don’t really play GW2 anymore. So when support for 10 drops next year, I’ll probably go back to Manjaro.

The humanoids we evolved from were at one point, not the only humanoids around. We coexisted with other, different species (neanderthals being an example). Homosapien is just the one that survived.

I’m not a Linux guru by any stretch of the imagination, but I’m a pretty big gamer and I daily drove Linux as a sort of experiment for a few months a last year. I went with Manjaro and had a pretty enjoyable experience.

AI has no place in the world of art. It’s soulless and depressing.

Old as it is, a lot of his points still hold water. AI interpolation still shits all over artistic intent. Shit looks awful.

And the after all that work, the finished product still looks worse than the original. Make it more obvious that you didn’t watch my link.

Ai upscaled animation is trash

I just put together an FPGBC. It’s pretty great and way cheaper than an Analogue Pocket. This video does a pretty good job of the build process and and an overview of the features.

Tough to choose just one, but as a die hard sci-fi nerd, gun to my head, I’m going with 2001.

I’m just gonna leave this here

You’re welcome.

It at it’s worst in my opinion with streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. They’re all starting to get so fragmented that they’re not much better than just paying for cable anymore, and that was their whole appeal to begin with. Now you have to sub to like 3 or 4 different services to get all the content you want (sometimes more) and they all seem to be phasing out their ad free tiers. It’s like they forgot what made them so popular to begin with.

“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”

100% Rocksteady’s smoking crack with what they did to Batman in that game. That’s the very fucking character that put you on the map, how you gonna do him dirty like that?

Thank God, what a pathetic send off that would have been otherwise for the man that DEFINED Batman for so many.

I would like to nominate this comment for hot take of the year.

Gender bent, big tiddie goth Bugs Bunny 'bout to make me act up 🥵

It’s a leftover from reddit. A comment would be marked as “edited” if you changed anything after posting it, and since some people are shitheads and change their comments to say completely different things after people have already replied to them it’s just a way to inform people that the edit you made to your comment was just to fix typos and not anything significant
