This process is akin to how humans learn by reading widely and absorbing styles and techniques, rather than memorizing and reproducing exact passages.

Machine learning algorithms are not people and are not ingesting these works the same way a person does. This argument is brought up all the time and just doesn't ring true. You're defending the unethical use of copyrighted works by a giant corporation with a metaphor that doesn't have any bearing on reality; in an age where artists are already shamefully undervalued. Creating art is a human process with the express intent of it being enjoyed by other humans. Having an algorithm do it is removing the most important part of art; the humanity.

My Durge run has been pretty fun. Cut off Gail's hand when he was reaching out of that rock and never had to deal with him again. So that was cool.

Yeah I don't really get all the hate. Is it the greatest game ever? No not even a little. Is it good though? Yeah I think so. The combat isn't all that deep but I'm mostly enjoying it for the writing and world building. It also helps that it's a gorgeous game.

That being said I can't see paying full price for it. I subscribed to ubisoft + for it and plan on canceling once I'm done with it. Playing it that way makes it cheaper than a ticket to the movies but for way more hours of pretty star wars locales.

So? That's literally how game design works.

Why is she the one having to press charges in the first place? They assaulted a government employee on government property because she was doing her job. Kinda feels like something the US government should be prosecuting for. Like one of those "no, you fucked up. Direct to federal prison for you." Kinda things.

When I was in high school from 08-2012 basically no one stood up for the pledge. I went to an art school though so nationalism wasn't really at all prevalent. Ironically though our mascot was a patriot.

Looks like they backed into it from the paint rubbed off on the bumper. Probably going too fast in reverse and rode up on the pole, getting on top of it. Once on top the weight of the car forced the pole through the floor of the car.

Nintendo really only has a history of taking down fan remakes of existing Nintendo games or games that are charging money. They've never to my knowledge had a free fan game or romhack taken down nor do I think they'd have any sort of legal grounds to do so even if they wanted to. And this essentially boils down to a ROM hack. Which is almost certainly completely safe from Nintendo's lawyers since it doesn't contain any Nintendo made assets.

Headlines in one year: ”Amercan waterways flooded with reusable cups as Americans still throw away what should be reused."

Fuck that. It should include the gallows.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I personally think this is fine. Especially for console. As long as the frame pacing is consistent I don't think the game is going to be harmed by being at 30 fps. If this were PC or a competitive game it might be a different story but aiming on an Xbox controller is already suboptimal and once you play for a while your brain stops thinking about the framerate.

Then again I still go back and play Cod zombies in split screen with my gf on the 360 from time to time which doesn't even have a consistent frame rate. So I may be someone less worried about that sort of thing.
