No, painted dogs are something else.

Jomega ,

Good riddance.

Jomega ,

Don’t forget Animal Planet, which hosts shows about tree houses and mermaids now.

Jomega ,

What type of dog is this?

Jomega ,

I mean, Hitler had an underling named Himmler. Sometimes coincidences happen.

Jomega , (edited )

Are you referring to The Legend of Rah and the Muggles? That was found to be bullshit the second people read the book. It’s an extremely weird story about nuclear fallout, talking animals, and a shit ton of meandering filler. The only similarity was use of the word “muggle”, which doesn’t even mean the same thing in both stories. JK may be a TERF now, but she is not a plagiarist.

Jomega ,

That cat is tripping balls.

Jomega ,

Supervillains consider themselves to be superior to the common masses. Superheroes don’t see it that way. They see their power as a tool to help those who weren’t as lucky as them. The superpower lottery is a vehicle to tell the story. The moral is about how those powers are used.

Jomega ,

In history, sure, the idea deserves criticism. But in fiction this archetype is called a protagonist and its very different to tell a story without at least one. Is Sherlock Holmes an example of Great Man theory? Most people are not as gifted as he is. What about Robin Hood? I’d argue that these characters share a lot of traits with Batman and Green Arrow respectively, so why is one ok but not the other?

As for the status quo thing, I honestly don’t know what to do about that from a storytelling perspective. “Guy who shoots lasers decides to enact social reform” is an odd pitch.

Jomega ,

What the fuck did Mexico do?

Jomega ,

I have no idea what you just said.

Jomega ,

Wins argument

“Quit being a sore loser”

Jomega ,

This used to be me in the eighth grade. I grew out of it.

Jomega ,

No one here is talking about how the woman in the picture looks the same in both photos? Am I missing something?

Jomega ,

Aliens just didn’t like white people.

Jomega ,

Funny. Tech bros insisted that this wouldn’t happen.

Jomega ,

Why a shooter? Superheroes aren’t known for using guns, and tend to be bulletproof themselves. Did they just copy the current trend and apply a Marvel coat of paint? That’s stupid.

Jomega ,

If you had watched Evangelion you would understand why the image was relevant.

Jomega ,

Thus proving her point.

Jomega ,

WHAT THE FUCK

Jomega ,

Because it kills everything you put it in? I don’t know how to tell you that you’re supposed to care about other people.

Jomega ,

You haven’t been keeping up with the news have you? The chip malfunctioned, and Elon knew it was going to.

Jomega ,

Secondly, you’re literally asking for a final version of something without any sort of human testing involved. Can you name a single medical device, ever, which has had exactly 1 version, no updates, and went through 0 human trials before completion?

That’s what the animal trials were supposed to be for. You know what happened to them? They died. They didn’t even wait for the chip to be successful in apes before putting it in a human. If you don’t understand why that’s fucked up, I can’t help you.

Jomega ,

This is gonna get worse before it gets better.

Jomega ,

I could have sworn Atari was bankrupt. Where’d they get the money to acquire anything?

Jomega ,

Team Magma is at it again.

Jomega ,

God forbid people have concerns about ethics.

Jomega ,

Are we talking about the same thing? I replied to someone taking about OpenAI, not porn in general. The creation of porn without the consent of the people fed into the program is nothing short of an ethical nightmare, even in cases where said people are pornstars. You’re painting me as a repressive for shit I didn’t even say.

Including a woman pope

A woman Thanks Persona 5 for teaching me that.

  • In popular culture. Joanna’s status as a real person is sketchy and possibly made up.
Jomega , (edited )

My phrasing is not good, but my point is supposed to be that the idea of a female Pope isn’t so far fetched that “wokeness” is the only explanation for depicting one. The idea of Joanna is popular enough to be depicted in the works of art generative AI shamelessly plagiarized trains on, therefore it shouldn’t be a surprise.

I will edit my original comment to make this more clear.

Jomega ,

See my other comment. I’ve also edited my original one for clarity.

Jomega ,

Never go full Mel Gibson.

Jomega ,

Mr Enter? He doesn’t use scores.

Jomega ,

Well you see the problem is there aren’t any Romans left to scapegoat.

An AI startup made a hyperrealistic deepfake of me that’s so good it’s scary (www.technologyreview.com)

Thanks to rapid advancements in generative AI and a glut of training data created by human actors that has been fed into its AI model, Synthesia has been able to produce avatars that are indeed more humanlike and more expressive than their predecessors. The digital clones are better able to match their reactions and intonation...

Jomega ,

Stonetoss is a Nazi. Please don’t give him exposure.

Jomega ,

Let me draw your attention to a sentence towards the middle of this block of text:

Things I have known as sinful are bold and brave.

He’s talking about gay people. This isn’t an argument about taxes or government spending, it’s whether or not people should be considered criminals for being born different. I can’t speak for everyone, but that’s not something I would personally tolerate, especially if I was trying to be a good influence on my hypothetical children. (I probably won’t have children because just taking care of myself is hard enough and I don’t think I’d be good at it, so take that with a grain of salt.)

Jomega ,

Not a big name outlet, but the Jimquisition awards bar any game with any form of post purchase monetization from entry, and will revoke the award of anything that adds them after the award is given. (This happened with Rocket League in the past.)

Jomega ,

They should change nothing and say that they got rid of it. It’s not like these people are smart enough to tell the difference.

Jomega ,

Great art was never created for its own sake /s.

Jomega ,

Things are often better when the people making them give a shit.

Jomega ,

More like it’s still canon, but heavily retconned. FRLG removed some of the early weirdness and made it more consistent with the others, and Let’s Go removed what little they missed with the first set of Kanto remakes. Both versions of Johto are direct sequels to Kanto, everyone important in the region shows up to the world tournament in B2W2, and Red and Green/Blue appear as adults in Sun/Moon’s post game. It’s just the references to real world countries and animals and stuff that they sweep under the rug and say “You didn’t see that. That didn’t happen.”

Jomega ,

We’ve existed since the 80’s. The only thing recent about us is the population boom the internet gave us.

Jomega ,

Yes, but I’m autistic so whatever.

Jomega ,

Something being normalized doesn’t automatically make it morally okay.

Jomega ,

Doesn’t it, though?

It used to normal to beat your kids. It was wrong then and it’s wrong now.

This is what the players wanted, and the industry listened.

The reason we are having this conversation in the first place is because people didn’t want it.

This isn’t forced upon anybody.

They added it the game post-launch, after reviews had already come out. Anyone morally opposed to micro transactions (which as I’ll get to in next point, have a very good reason to be opposed to on principle) who had bought the game has been tricked into supporting a business practice they despise. This is incredibly scummy and should rightfully be seen as a dick move.

It only becomes a moral problem if somebody’s choices are circumvented, but that’s not really what’s happening here.

Micro transactions as a concept are strategically designed to exploit people with addictive personalities. This is not a theory on my part, this is legitimately what the intent behind them is. But don’t take my word for it, here’s a video discussing that very thing.

Jomega ,

What the fuck did I just watch?

Jomega ,

These are peoples lives we’re talking about.
