That’s funny because the majority of Lemmy.World are people who left Reddit during the 3rd party app-ocolypse. Though I suppose many of them also saw Reddit becoming more and more pro-Nazi as time went on. The loss of the apps was just the kick in the pants needed to actually leave.

“The” asset browser could be any number of sources, some of which are not coupled to any specific engine. AAA games do also use already made shit, especially when it’s an inconsequential background item like a TV. They just don’t use them for the entire game.

In a similar vein, No Stupid Questions should have a name that clarifies that you’re not supposed to try and craft the stupidest questions ever, but to treat all the questions as not being stupid in the first place and just answering them without judgment.

Ok.

I take a real screenshot of a fake screenshot/edited website. How do you tell it’s a fake when the screenshot shows it’s an unedited, genuine screenshot?

This is already an issue with certain things. The Fresno Nightcrawlers come to mind. The OG video was analyzed to death and found that it wasn’t edited or manipulated. However, that doesn’t discount the use of practical effects to create the cryptid. Same with the famous Patterson footage of Bigfoot. The video is real; the subject isn’t.

Honestly, that way for obtaining flair and shit would be preferable to spending actual money. Especially if I could turn them in for a physical Lemmy shirt to wear IRL.

According to Abe, one of the most time-consuming and labor-intensive parts of game development is coming up with the “hundreds of thousands of unique ideas” needed to create the in-game environment. For example, if you want to put a TV inside of your game, you can’t just use an existing product as is – you need to think of a fictional TV design from scratch, including the manufacturer’s logo and everything else about the object.

I can just go into the asset browser and find a whole slew of TVs I can just add to my game and either use them as-is, or tweak the look a bit to fit my aesthetic choice and not need to reinvent the wheel every damn time. It’s such a small thing that’s just filling out the background, that adding details like a fictional logo aren’t necessary at all, unless it’s actually relevant to the plot somehow. What the fuck is Abe smoking with that example?

It does make sense if you replace the word time with money. Paying all those artists to make all those little details for every little thing is costly. But AI will do it for free.

The only advice I ever took seriously from Joe Rogan was when he was still just doing comedy on stage and literally said “I am an idiot. Nobody should listen to me.”

Makes me wonder how many Lemmy instances are running off AWS servers.

Someone should tell him who actually pays the fucking tariffs. I kinda get the feeling that nobody around the motherfucker even tells this dipshit things he clearly has wrong because they’re afraid of losing their status if they call him out for being a dumbass.

It’s own tools in the input box don’t even work on the web version? lol

4 explanations are needed now.

I mean, he is a dark-eyed junco. Prolly stabbed another bird in a dark alley for some smack.

The reason I don’t really like these games with randoms is because even if you’re really good at the game itself, the other players won’t necessarily play the game and just fuck around a vast majority of the time, making it unfun. And if they actually are playing the game to win, it’s too easy to be on the crew and impossible to win as the imposter because the majority of games like Among Us I’ve played favor the “good guys,” which is also unfun. 😮‍💨

“Cha-llama-dia? Isn’t that a Mexican dish?”

“No, that’s a roly-poly. Not a vulgar armadillo or whatever the fuck you just said.”

This is so obviously an alt.

Can I just take the $5000 and then fuck off to a better platform?

Protip: The superscript tags on Lemmy are like an encapsulation, not like Reddit where you have to prefix every word. Just put 1 caret at the beginning and 1 at the end:

^like so^

How do you defund something that runs on charity from the people who watch it (and also a large contribution from the Koch brothers)? Do these dumbfucks think PBS is paid for by tax money? Every single program I’ve ever seen on PBS explicitly states it’s paid for by viewers (and again, the Koch brothers).

Its superior economic, human, social, and civil rights come at the cost of strictly regulating businesses, which kills off innovation and profit making by big businsses

I agree that it stifles profit; but it in no way stifles actual innovation. Just look at all the innovative ways they come up circumventing regulation to continue harming people.
