Of course! I can help try my hand at it

They turned out pretty nice! My only suggestion isn’t really AI related, but regarding the logo over it

The white border helps the black logo stand out, though maybe having an additional drop shadow could help it pop out a bit more, though that might be unnecessary. Just something I like to do when Photoshopping, but it’s purely personal preference! It certainly looks good, even without it.

But you’re not giving it up, since human-made art and AI generated images can both exist.

Sure, it could be said that AI generated images can oversaturate the internet, but a lot of sites that host art, both SFW and NSFW, have reacted by tagging AI art and allowing the user to filter them out.

There’s so many forms of art in the world and one lifetime isn’t enough to learn it all. Music, visual arts, cooking, writing, etc. I choose to focus on some art forms at the expense of others.

If the technology exists to make it easier to visually represent something on my mind and give me time to focus on my other pursuits, I’m all for it.

If I were to get my hands on one of these, I probably wouldn’t put too many games on there, maybe just one or two that I’m adamant on playing at the time.

I do have some low capacity micro SDs scattered at home as well that should barely be large enough to house a single switch game. So worst case scenario, I could also just pop the cart out, swap the micro SD, and plug it back in to only require a single insertion.

Granted, this might not be feasible for people who just want to use the migswitch as a backup tool to put all their legal games on one cart, but for pirates like myself I’d consider it only a minor setback.

Not to mention the cartridge slot probably being designed to last a lot of insertions before failing

This is just a theory/rumor (and partially a cope) but some people have floated the idea that this might not even be produced in Russia, and the overbearing Russian/Soviet symbolism is to throw off Nintendo and hide where it’s really being produced.

Afaik there’s no evidence to substantiate this, but if it were to be true, that would be hilarious.

Yeah wtf, the OP is just an asshole Thanks for catching that, and kudos for the “power drunk mod” for not bending

Might be because of Threads, and Meta seeking to use ActivityPub themselves.

I don’t disagree with you though; I don’t think the fedi is big enough at the moment to register as more than a blip on their radar, as you said.

I can’t express how much I respect that man’s mental fortitude. It’s so easy to succumb to rage and hatred when your own son passes away. Not only stifle those kneejerk reactions, but to still demonstrate humility to that degree is rare.

Here’s an archive.org link to the article to get past the paywall

As cautious as I like to be, I think this seems like a reasonable response and approach. It benefits Ukraine, even if it’s marginal, and while Russia will argue it’s an attempt to meddle directly in their war (Putin will find a reason to whine anyways), most of the world will see it as Romania attempting to protect their own land.

How could Putin even argue against this? By claiming Romania has no right to shoot down a Russian missile that’s already violated international airspace? The rest of the world will just laugh and ignore yet another meaningless complaint- just one of many.

Thank you for advocating for the murder of volunteers from my country serving Ukraine and acting like a child when confronted about it. I’m sure me and other users’ opinion of your country has improved significantly and are more open to renegotiating embargoes.

On one hand, my interests and values couldn’t diverge from that of Russian nationalists any further

On the other hand, I love me some infighting among the Russians; the less they’re on the same page, the better

It’s a shame that most of the groups/people involved voted in favor of admitting Russian players back in, at least under the Russian flag.

I think the decision made by FIDE (International Chess Federation) for their sport is a fine compromise that this E-Sports federation should have adopted as well. In protest of the Ukraine invasion, FIDE banned any players from playing under the Russian or Belarusian flag, but allowed them to play anyways under a neutral, FIDE flag. And for players from Russia that were outspoken against Ukraine or in favor of Russia’s invasion (i.e. Sergey Karjakin), they were penalized and barred from play on an individual case-by-case basis.

It shows that this invasion won’t be tolerated, but at the same time, you as a player will only be punished if you choose to support it on your own volition, rather than by association.

Immense courage this must have taken, for 31 people to brave minefields knowing what was ahead of them.

Many non-violence figureheads have had counterparts who did engage in more drastic, even violent action. In Gandhi’s case, his counterpart would be Subhas Chandra Bose. In Martin Luther King’s case, it would be Malcolm X. Even Mandela, who agreed with the ideals of non-violence, became frustrated at the limitations it had when facing against an opposing force that could not be appeased.

Non-violence helps to win over the hearts of people, allowing your movement to gain traction when many fence-sitters might be turned off by acts of terrorism or wanton violence. Charisma goes a long way in opening people’s minds to your ideals, helping paint your movement in a positive light.

Ukraine’s plight, however, has already garnered the sympathy that it needs internationally. Perhaps not within Russia itself, but the support from countries around the world has been immense. I think this is the limit of non-violence in this case, and what remains is the need to take this momentum and support and translate it into a fight for said ideals.

Too little, too late Russia
