Figure out what you want to do, and make a plan to do it. Obviously some stuff is more achievable than others, but there are surely some things that you can do.

Per the article, they just developed a faster algorithm for a specific type of material simulation.

This looks like it has some potential. I’ll probably give this a try.

I’ve been playing this game ever since beta and have enjoyed it. It’s a shame to see it go, but I guess I got my money’s worth, since I paid nothing. Still, I can’t understand why they can’t just let people keep playing online like every other fighting game out there. I would even be willing to pay a one time fee if I knew the basic gameplay would remain available.

It may vary depending on your jurisdiction. Under US copyright law, I believe that generated images are not copyrightable, so you wouldn’t have any protections from anyone copying your cover, but I doubt that’s a big concern. The model or service that you use may also have various terms in their license that restrict what you are allowed to do with the generated images. Finally, you also need to make sure that your image isn’t violating someone else’s copyright. If you generate an image that is too similar to an existing image, that could be problematic.

I never really understood all the rage over the water level. I could get through it when I was a kid and I didn’t even own the game, I would just play it at my friends house. Once you have the layout memorized it’s pretty easy to get through, maybe swapping turtles a couple times to spread out the damage.

The way I see it, it’s not so much an issue of making something that’s better than the other standards. It’s really about getting your standard into actual use and hitting critical mass which makes all the other standards irrelevant.

I would flip the question. If there is a heaven or afterlife, then what is the point of living? Really, what’s the point if you just get another awesome life later on? Is this all meaningless aside from proving to God that you will praise him?

Without an afterlife, then the life right now takes on so much more weight and importance, because it’s all you get.

About a year ago I started trying to check out peertube to see if it was worthwhile for uploading my videos to. My first challenge was just finding instances to sign up on. Most of them didn’t allow registration. Then for the ones I did find, streaming videos was very slow and laggy. In some cases, I couldn’t even view videos. And then, it seemed that I could only search for videos that existed on that particular instance.

Like I said, this was a year ago so maybe it’s improved. But in general, it seemed totally unusable for someone just looking for a way to share videos.

I can buy some ice cream and put it in my freezer, and it’s extremely soft, I can just put a spoon in it with no resistance. I put that exact same ice cream in my parents freezer and it gets so hard that I can’t even scoop it with an ice cream scoop unless I let it thaw out for a few minutes. The temperature it’s stored at absolutely plays a huge difference.

I’m willing to keep an open mind until it releases, but that tells me that the gameplay will be nothing like the original.

Yeah my friend got a Dreamcast and then I pirated all the games for him. It was one of the most awesome consoles ever with amazing games. But the few other people I knew with one at the time also pirated games. It was just so easy because it didn’t even need a modchip or anything. Just download, burn a CD, and play.

I thought it was implying that all of those men had made out with her.

I played it for a few hundred hours before dropping off. The single player content can last you a good while, but it does start feeling a bit repetitive.

The online multiplayer is pretty good, but the net code is not great so it can often feel laggy. This was what I spent most of my time on though.

Well, hopefully this will at least force stability’s hand in some way and get them to at least make an official statement instead of just remaining silent.

Per the software website (which the article links to), I don’t see any mention of generative AI. Their “ai image intelligence” only makes mention of tagging images for SEO. https://www.pixometry.com/en/publishing/ai-image-intelligence/

It would be great if the model could produce this beautifully disfigured stuff when the user asked it to. But if it can’t follow the user’s prompts reasonably, then it’s pretty useless as a tool

So the graphics were photorealistic all along.

It’s been a wait, but glad to see it finally out. Looking forward to playing with it later.

Why would I tell them about “the fediverse”? Tell them that you use Lemmy or Mastodon or whatever. If they are interested then give them a link to a good instance. That’s it.
