Often the joke is supposedly to be “HA HA I HURT YOUR FEELINGS.” Then you tell them nobody fucking cares what they think and their opinions don't matter, and the ensuing meltdown is comedy gold.

Can liberal based humor be bad? Of course because everything can be bad. But right wing comedy is a special kind of bad specifically because it’s not really about being funny. What’s “funny” is not the content of a racist, but rather that it’s going to upset liberals “because” you made that racist joke.   And that’s…

At the core of any good comedy is truth, and the right wing is dependent on avoiding basic known truths. “Isn’t it funny how all planes look like rubber bands” doesn’t work as a joke because it’s fundamentally removed from any sort of core relatable/universal experience that any successful humor depends on.

Could be that there is some tipping point where being capable of more nuanced satire means you have too many cerebral creases to remain a hard right nutcase. 

“At least be intellectually consistent.”

1. Does Alex Jones make any money off of this? If so, pretty much every cent (besides the absolute minimum expenses needed to survive at poverty level) should go to the victims he owes from his defamation case (which he cowardly declared bankruptcy to try and avoid).

I played the Alex Jones game so you don’t have to. AMA.

You don’t know anything about game development or working in general. Incredibly delusional post. Go experience some reality.

the flowers are cool and they are my friends. i will never silence them. 

I lived through Sony 4/11. Never forget.

There’s something mildly disturbing about the Fortnite-ification of the American Military jerkfest that is COD. The game references real life events, conflicts where innocent people lost their lives. Seems to be a cognitive dissonance in my opinion to mix that with hip cartoon characters and pop divas with cute pink…

because it has produced something where otherwise there would be nothing.

This isn’t democratization — it is wholesale destructiin of the the craftsman ecosyatem that develops artists, provides income for artist, and is the very well that these automated machines pull from to use as grist.

The thing is: Art is a skill and is, subsequently, difficult to learn and become proficient at. But all the same, most people CAN LEARN to become artists. It just takes time and effort to do it - the difference is if people *want* to put that time and effort into doing it.

How is “not everyone having enough money” for creating art a problem? Why should we be devaluing art?

It’s because, over time, we have been trained to eschew art and creativity as a fanciful whim.

Most skills are really hard to learn. I’ve been boxing for about five years. It’s a night and day difference between me and a new person showing up to the gym for the first time. Then it’s a night and day difference again between me and someone who trains to fight, pro or amateur.

Getting good at things is hard. This…

To me the most amusing thing is when they complain that some change in the code has made it impossible to figure out how to reproduce the same thing they were “making” before. Almost as though they have no hand in making it at all..

One of my personal pet peeves about the AI “prompt-gineers” (aside from, you know, the theft of art and labour etc etc all that) is that they will “produce” a piece of work with shockingly obvious issues that wouldn’t fly past the eye of even an armature artist....and just say “fuck it, good enough. Post”

Hire human beings/real artists, you sacks of shit.
