Ah! Thank you. That is good to know.

To me it also feels like the ratio of low effort content posts or reposts VS original content has changed considerably. At least when browsing /r/all.

I got some of my OC removed on reddit. When that happened, I got a message from the sub’s moderators about the reason. Sometimes the reasoning did not make sense to me but in most cases it was in some way understandable. (I am also sure I must’ve pissed of a mod of the German sub because at some point they deleted whatever I posted…)

Anyway, what I want to say is: I got one OC post removed here on lemmy and was given no notification nor explanation. I only noticed it by accident. I hate it here.

I love bashing AI art but in AI art it’s usually the details that you spot at second glance that makes it fall apart. The Mega Man cover is just fundamentally messed up to a degree where even AI art is miles ahead.

The memest meme post and we were not only alive at the same time as OP but we even saw it and witnessed its greatness first. Lemmy is truly amazing.

How many fingers do humans have?

Image Generation AI: yes.

Barf… Puke… Whatever!

Well, if it isn’t Lone Star. And his sidekick, Puke.

Mario if he was a camel.

Good examples. In general the earlier 3D games aged particularly poorly. Not only graphically but also when it comes to controls. I think around 2000 things get better, though.

I bought MDK two years after release for 10€ because the screenshots on the box looked pretty but I was super disappointed once I saw it in motion on my PC… Back in these days game graphics got better so quick, that a (originally super pretty) two year old game looked bad on my PC.

Edit: I wish that GIF would play without clicking it (Jerboa). 🤔

Edit 2: Plays fine in Sync at least…

True. However back when these games were state of the art, you somehow were able to imagine the graphics to be better than what was actually on screen. At least that’s how it felt to me (played my first games in the early 90s).

Yeah, that botheres me, too. Also when a game is labeled to have “psx graphics” and it just means that they use low res textures without filtering but at the same time it has real time shadows, requires 4GB VRAM and uses bunch of other modern techniques.
