Were You Playing With The Linux Version ? And Did You Try Using Proton ?

Imagine trying to make a game that mixes ULTRAKILL's movement and retro style, TF2's medieval mode weapon constraints and FISH in under two weeks.

lol who would even try that

btw this was a test map

I needed a reddit username, i didn't really like my old username (totodile1s1n), saw in the randomly generated usernames cap, said huh, i could make that but with carp because yes and i needed an adjective because also yes and it's deadly. why ? idk

USERNAME LORE GIVE IT TO ME NOW YOU ALL

I will kill you from the confines of the lake, I will bury you into your grave with my bare fins and mysteriously make your entire lineage vanish into thin air.

If nintendo released a new console like this, i do not care i'll buy it.

I've been on pc for 2 years but this aesthetic is just amazing.

Bring it back

BRING IT BACK!

I miss a good ol' fashioned crystal version of my favourite consoles.

What do you think?

so, according to a year old reddit post, the issue is the opengl drivers so, either update those or use vulkan

i couldn't find the solution online do i figured one of you trannies can help me

why does celeste look like all artifacty in some levels (fedora linux 42, nvidia drivers, wayland, plasma)

installed with steam

Everest did not help

CelesteLinuxifier did not help (supposed to convert windows version to linux)

I did not try the archive.org version because i assume celeste linuxifier gives me the same end result

I would unironically use this phone, imagine the swag of burning a cd in the middle of nowhere with one of those

ok this looks ultra mega based, are you kidding me? can you imagine the bullshit i could get up to with this bad boy? fuck yes i want ten

I've finally figured out an argument that convinces coding tech-bros that AI art is bad.

Got into a discussion today (actually a discussion, we were both very reasonable and calm even through I felt like committing violence) with a tech-bro-coded lady who claimed that people use AI in coding all the time so she didn't see why it mattered if people used AI in art.

Obviously I repressed the surge of violence because that would accomplish nothing. Plus, this lady is very articulate, the type who makes claims and you sit there thinking no that's wrong it must be but she said it so well you're kind of just waffling going but, no, wait-- so I knew I had to get this right if I was gonna come out of this unscathed.

The usual arguments about it being about the soul of it and creation fell flat, in fact she was adamant that anyone who believed that was in fact looking down at coding as an art form as she insisted it is. Which, sure, you can totally express yourself through coding. There's a lot more nuance as to the differences but clearly I was not going to win this one.

The other people I was with (literally 8 people anti-ai against her, but you can't change the mind of someone who doesn't want to listen and she just kept accusing us of devaluing coding as an art) took over for I kid you not 15 minutes while I tried desperately to come up with a clear and articulate way to explain the difference to her. They tried so many reasonable arguments, coding being for a function ("what, art doesn't serve a function?") coding being many discrete building blocks that you put together differently, and the AI simply provides the blocks and you put it together yourself ("isn't that what prompt building is") that it's bad for the environment ("but not if it's used for capitalism, hm?" "Yeah literally that's how capitalism works it doesn't care about the environment" she didn't like that response)

But I finally got it.

And the answer is: It's not about what you do, it's about what you claim to be.

Imagine that someone asks an AI to write a code and, by some miracle, it works perfectly without them having to tweak it---which is great because they couldn't tell you what a single solitary thing in that code means.

Now imagine this person, with their code that they don't know how it works, goes and applies to be a coder somewhere, presenting this AI code as proof that they're qualified.

Should they be hired?

She was horrified, of course. Of course they shouldn't be. They're not qualified. They can't actually code, and even if by some miracle they did have an AI successfully write a flawless code for every issue they came across that wouldn't be their code, you could hire any shmuck on the street to do that, no reason to pay someone like they're creating something.

When actual engineers use AI what they do is get some kind of base, which they then go though and check for problems and then if they find any they fix them, and add on to the base code with their own knowledge instead of just trying different prompt after prompt until they randomly come across one that works.

People who generate code like this don't usually call themselves engineers. They're people who needed a bit of code and didn't have the knowledge to generate it, and so used a resource.

And there you go. There are people who have none of the skills of artists, they don't practice, they don't create for themselves. When they feed the prompt to the AI they then don't just use the resulting image as a reference point for their own personal masterpiece, and if they don't like it they don't have the skills to change it---they simply try another prompt, and do that until they get something they like.

These people are calling themselves artists.

Not only that, these people are bringing the AI generated thing to interviews, and they are getting hired, leaving people who slave over their craft out of the job.

And that is the difference, for the tech bros who think AI art isn't a big deal.

I'm going to 36.760692704015696, -90.91475641281271

Good luck.

A little something i made

It makes more sense with some context

This is peak technology right here
