Just for context, she’s actually from a video game the UK government funded about political idealogy - https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/amelia-pathways

It seems like it’s just become a bit of a meme/rallying point for some people in the UK.

She’s actually from a video game the UK government made (pretty sure it was made by the government). In it your not supposed to agree with Amelias political views, but obviously that’s not really a good way to convince people.

Flying 200 drones at the same time is easy, having them do anything useful/effective is hard. Seems more like bluster than anything effective at this point in time, given AI systems aren’t really there yet for precise targeting.

I think the jump rope and volleyball moons in Mario Odyssey were pretty bad. They didn’t really connect to the gameplay and just felt tedious to get.

I mean, trying to start WWIII is probably a bigger deal than anything we could find in the Epstein files. I’m not sure commiting even worse acts counts as a distraction.

The person above you is wrong, while a generalist model will struggle to make valid pixel art, either a specially trained model or one with elements to force a specific structure could make generative pixel art.

This seems like a valid example - https://pixel-art.ai/

Hmm, I think it’s usually at least two fewer parts - monitor, compute, and speakers.

Also, some all-in-ones have touchscreens, so technically usable without a mouse/keyboard.

I can’t really picture her as Lara, but maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Feels a bit like casting Tom Holland as Nathan Drake.

What were your thoughts on Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft?

She was a brunette in it, so if you really only know her from GOT it can really throw you.

Haha, I hadn’t heard of that, but I guess that kinda makes my point about them really wanting to tell that story arc.

I honestly think that is the second best Disney star wars movie, and if it hadn’t released after the “Last Jedi” it would have been received better by everyone.

I think it’s a shame we won’t see where that plot line was going with Darth maul as it seems like they had a real plan for that story arc (so much so that it keeps popping up in other shows/games).

That was an interesting read, thanks for sharing.

It was the best selling console in the US this holiday season, but not sure how it’s sales compared to previous years. It also was on a big discount which definitely helped.

That’s an issue you can run into with many classics. Either they did something so well it’s become a trope, or the artistry in it has been refined so much that the original feels like a poor imitation.

A great example in film is Citizen Cane. It used a lot of ground breaking approaches for cinematography and sound design, but those things aren’t ground breaking anymore, so watching it now doesn’t have the same “excitement”. A more modern example might be Toy Story; the animation doesn’t look too impressive by modern standards, but was ground breaking at the time.

Yeah, I figured that hadn’t changed, but was too lazy to actually look up the source, thanks for adding it.

However, with box64 you can emulate x86_64 on arm, however I think macs don’t have the gpu integration. Crazy thing is on some phones with snapdragon chips you can emulate games up to cyberpunk 2077 decently well.

I don’t think bazzite runs on ARM macs.

To be honest I think BOTW has had a negative effect on Nintendos approach to game design. While BOTW had its highlights, TOTK doubling down on a very large empty world without real dungeons got boring fast.

Yeah, if I’m making something “masked/obscured” I should export it so that it’s in a raw format. That way there is no Metadata or information that could be leaked by accident.

Think of the Trump Epstein files, in those they kept them as pdfs so you could just unhighlight the redacted sections. If they had export it as a jpeg/png you wouldn’t be able to extract any information.

There are ways to remove the content from a pdf, but as we’ve seen, that leaves rooms for errors.

If the image/video just has black pixels on the content, then there would be no information to extract and any attempt would just be filling things in.

When you talk about layers, you’re assuming that the creator left information behind in the Metadata, which wouldn’t require AI to extract.
