Is snark an emotion?

I absolutely love online lunatics like this (and also they have way too much time on their hands 😅). Gaming wouldn’t be the same without 'em.

No touch the feets 😡

The call is coming from inside the building.

I thought I hated excel, but then I tried Google sheets. Somehow it’s even worse.

Well you see, they wrote the articles with AI.

My dad gave me a set of tools when I moved out. The choice was made for me.

I’ve only ever played 3 and I really liked it when I did. Sad that one doesn’t get talked about much cause the art style is my favorite of the whole series I think.

It definitely had its fair share of batshit insane puzzles, but overall it’s a great game.

The only reason you need to know analog clocks nowadays is to solve all the analog clock puzzles in video games.

I use insta a little bit, but I vanced it and that makes it a whole lot better ngl.

No no no, see, your voice is only valuable for a one time sale these days. Stop being greedy! /s

I had the same experience when I recently had to get a new phone. Stock launchers have improved a lot.

I have a pretty wide definition of art, so I hesitate to say it can’t be art flippantly. I do think that for something to be art it must contain the voice of the artist, though, and for many AI generations I don’t think you can see that voice, even if a lot of work went into creating it. Maybe that will change as the tools become more sophisticated and easier to get what you want out of them.

Agreed, the process is very non-artistic. There are too many layers that remove the creator from the process of creating. It’s more of a science than an art, and unsurprisingly an artistic spirit is usually lacking from it.

The results are better when in the hands of artists, but many artists don’t enjoy using the tools because they are so removed from an artistic work flow and are such a black box most of the time. It’s not artistically fulfilling to press a button and see what comes out.

Just my 2 cents as an artist who has experimented with the tools quite a bit and still doesn’t love them.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but I just read that whole article and it sounds like a good implementation? Companies want to know how effective their ads are, and I like their approach of trying to find a way to provide this without wholesale personal data collection. They even say at the end that they don’t get the data either. It sounds like a reasonable thing to try and standardize.

Ah I see. Boiling the frog as it were.

I looked into making one a while back and it’s honestly quite complicated if you’re not a techy person. I gave up on it, though I think you can also buy them pre-built for a bit more money so you might look into that.

Has it actually been confirmed when it’s coming? I feel like this has been threatened for years now.

I think you may be preaching to the choir on this one. 😅

I think most do and it’s a good way to look at it. There are definitely companies out there that people don’t think of as indie that are technically independent, so I just wanted to mention it. It’s still very cool to hear they’ve surpassed triple a!
