This is why I no longer watch One Piece. The author defended, welcomed back, and advocated for the Ruroni Kenshin author after he, SOMEHOW, was released and only fined $1500 for stacks and stacks and STACKS of child porn found in his apartment.

Fuck that. People like that should be in jail for decades.

I work with institutions that used to need to purge their database of old crap in order to keep it fresh, but we no longer support that purging process because it creates more problems than it solves. Because storage space is so fucking cheap now there’s no fucking reason to delete anything. I’ve got 7+ TB on my home…

Oh man. That video was tough to watch. All the obvious problems aside, Sagi doesn’t even rhyme with sake, damn it!

Games don’t get competitive scenes because the creators wanted it. They get them because the game was fun and consistent enough for the community to want to have tournaments. If Sakurai didn’t want competitive Smash to exist, he should’ve doubled down after Brawl and made even more random bullcrap players couldn’t…

Because while they both are about AI. They are two completely different things contextually.

I wonder if that’s why the article mentions the competitive scene over and over

Most video game animation uses AI to do inbetweens and other dynamic animations already, which are then fine-tuned after. I think Prince of Persia: Sands of Time was one of the games that really pushed the technology forward. It exists, and depending on the quality of the animation you want, it can be super helpful,…

You think that publishers are going to keep paying people to make the art if they can pay one person to run a few different AI’s to do it all?

Less-labor intensive? The purpose isn’t to make art easier, it’s to steal their work altogether and push them away - which they are already doing. Making their labor obsolete is just another pro-corporate convenience.

Oh, did I say that? I meant “steal from passionate creators who built their own skills and call it your own work”, hence the “War on Artists - because they’re ‘privileged’”.

To prove a real point they should have hired their own artist to draw reference art, and not take it from an existing anime.

Told you that these corporate/tech bro shills are trying to turn creative human labor obsolete through AI. There’s a reason they’re trying to criminalize artists in general - they’re forcing an ‘easy’ and ‘ethical’ narrative that benefits only them. For instance, they call artist “privileged” because they built their…

They did quite often with Smash, and other online titles. The problem is, once they decide to turn off the faucet, that’s it.

Nintendo did already say that Smash is no longer to be patched, so it seems a lot less likely than it would have.

Sakurai and his habit of accidentally breaking DLC fighters continues, and it’s pretty obvious he learned from Smash 4, especially with the DLC fighters and how hard they got nerfed in Ult. He’s probably not liking this news going by past fighter drama and how he reacted.

Final destination, steve, no items.

Not always, and knowledge is power. To this day, the original GC version is the superior version and fan modders are usually the ones that truly fix a broken port, which are pretty common nowadays.

As someone who worked as a professional translator, I agree that this is pretty much a lost cause. Things like this don’t translate well, or at all. It would be like trying to translate a crossword puzzle into another language and still expecting it to work with the original spaces provided, or even for the wordplay…

I pretend they don’t exist because they’re not very good. 

I bounced off of FFTA, and I don’t think it was just because of the kiddy aesthetic. It’s also just mechanically different in a lot of ways that some folks don’t enjoy. Also after going back to it a few weeks ago, I’m not a fan of the interface.
