I love how the DS2 AI crumbles in the presence of the mighty Slight Change In Elevation.

I hope you didn't fix the dudes guarding the bridge to the Chariot, they're my favorites.

Based. Playing DS2 for the first time currently, I was going to jump back and try the DS1 randomizer afterwards but I might do this instead.

I'm currently playing through the original Dark Souls 2 for the first time. Might have to check this out afterwards.

Shocked with how good DS2 is if you take the time to really get into it. Like, this is way more fun than Elden Ring and does everything that game does but better.

Roko's basilisk is funny because you could apply it to literally anything with the potential to store memories.

That being said "What if ants rose up and decided to torture and kill everyone who was mean to ants?" is significantly scarier than an Amazon Alexa.

Kids should be allowed in social media. There's a sad lack of third places for them to exist as is, and it's genuinely fucked up that they're getting kicked off the internet because sad adults (who grew up using the Internet) decided that they want to ruin it for everyone else.

Useful when artists actually bother to tag their content as NSFW, and weird fetish material that doesn't technically include nudity slips through. Early on I had a shocking amount of furry cub diaper fetish art popping up because the artist didn't consider it NSFW apparently.

Not an excuse.

But they could just post it on a website that doesn't allow kids. No one is talking about the fact that BlueSky should raise the age of entry if it's going to be an adult platform.

"I should be allowed to post rape fantasies about real people because uuuhh historically...."

Someone check this guy's hard drive.

I'm not siding with artists who are specifically angry that they can't post rape art based on real people on a platform that allows 13-year olds.

Fucking do better.

Good.

You guys are annoying.

There are tons of sites specifically designed for porn but these artists bank on social media with children present. Notice that none of these artists vote to just ban kids from BlueSky and make it an adult platform, because that's part of their intended audience.

Weird that I haven't seen a single person pushing to not allow kids on BlueSky.

NSFW artists have ruined every single social media platform and it's so fucking uncomfortable how entitled they are.

They still won't even tag their shit properly so the CHILDREN this incompetent platform allows aren't exposed to weird fetish material slapped on the Discover tag.

People just change what words mean to feel better about themselves and it's so weird to me.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with audiobooks, but people deciding that "reading" is now just listening to a story because they don't want to feel bad about not actually reading is obnoxious.

Excerpt from article: A few users told Aftermath that their anti-Kirk posts were deleted sans a suspension or any sort of notification. One such post read: "Charlie Kirk has been pronounced dead from complications resulting from his dick and balls being the wrong way around. His dick was on the bottom and his balls were on top. A bullet was also found in his body."

great article

Literally every single time I've seen a clip of Captain Kirk, my main thought is "Someone is eventually just going to shoot this guy."

Shut up Gavin.

Slave Knight Gael isn't that big, and by the true finale of DS3 hasn't he consumed most of the Dark Souls?

This is what I'm saying, it's really confusing.

Makes sense, I don't know what characters have canonically consumed souls.

Gwyn, Pontiff, and the two princes are a relatively normal size despite their high power, certainly above the Vordt and the Dancer. So maybe it's something they can control unlike the many forced transformations.

The Dark Souls series have a weird relationship with size. Giants are a distinct race but also "humans" seem to be able to grow in size as they accumulate power. But only sometimes?

I don't read the lore, I just noticed that some dudes are huge for no specific reason.

Where? Show me where they said this, because all I'm seeing is them specifically saying they're not using AI.

That's such a Republican copout to lying on the internet, goddamn.

I fear we start accusing AI of being behind a series you're going to limit some artists working in some styles to avoid the accusation which reduces creativity, artists feel discouraged, you have AI companies who ignore the noise as 'they complain but they can't tell'

And no one wins

I'd go a step further and say that those who were speaking about Sekiro: No Defeat using AI without it being confirmed that it was, show a fundemental misunderstanding and lack of interest in the way anime is produced, and that lack of interest is why the medium lacks emotional maturity in the West

For context, just in case.

This is why people shit on Sekiro. All of these "we support genuine art" and "we can definitely tell it's AI" bros failing to support genuine art because "m-m-muh fingers" when there are clearly 5 of them.

You guys are a fucking joke.

You're literally the one who was putting down genuine art and making excuses for it, but you think you have the right to tell me what I care about? Bro your values are fucking plastic.

Like seriously, you guys looked at some awkward fingers in a smear frame and were CERTAIN that it was AI. You shit all over human art to feel important and that's not a good thing.

This is a bad take. Rejecting human-made art because the company supports AI is only going to lead to more and more genuine art being shit on because MOST THINGS THAT EXIST are owned by companies that support AI.

You guys made assumptions, spread misinformation, and are now covering your asses.

I think another lesson is that all of the people who "oh I can definitely tell this is AI" don't know what the fuck they're talking about and will deflect responsibility for spreading blatant misinformation to anyone but themselves.
