So powerful they couldn’t even handle fucking IRAN…
All they managed to do was prove that, much like Russia, they are completely unprepared for the type of asymmetric warfare taking place in the modern world. Numbers don’t mean shit anymore. They only lost 12 soldiers and STILL lost. it’s a new world. Has been for a long time. America still thinks troop numbers and money spent actually matter.
Health tip for everyone:
Drink more water.
No. Not because it’s good for you. But because in the next few years, there’s going to be an awful lot of graves coming up to be pissing on.
Sadly, MacGuyver’s retired.
Great. Can we purge him from reality next?
Using AI to generate it is a legit practice because you aren’t wasting an artist’s time on shit that won’t make it into the game.
I’m sure those artist’s would like to earn a paycheque regardless of whether their work is in the final game or not. That’s my main beef with A.I.
Edited: The amount of slack I’m prepared to give in the case of placeholder assets depends entirely on the size and financial backing of the development team creating the game. Am I going to flip out about a small developer with very little money creating their small passion project for using AI because he can’t afford a bigger dev team. No. I’ll wish him/her all the success in the world so that they reach a point where they no longer HAVE to use A.I. to generate placeholder assets. But will I give a billion dollar company slack for using A.I. instead of paying artists? Hell no.
Long story short. If you’re a big company with the money in your couch cushions to pay artists, than PAY ARTISTS. If your a small indy dev just starting out, A.I. placeholders can help you a bit until you can afford proper artists.
Who’s head would get carried away on a pike? Miller’s? Theil’s? Musk’s?
Why stop at one?
The Ministry of Truthiness
In a decade of truly insane rants, this was probably his most insane.
“I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate ‘Artists’.”
What in the absolute fuck is there left to say at this point?
Choosing the easier path when it really mattered
Totally not the point of the article, but “Analilia” is a beautiful name. I hadn’t heard it before and it immediately went into my “if I ever accidentally have kids” name list.
Because Iran came up with the idea of having ships pay a toll to cross. Trump said “Hey…I want some of that” and Iran told him to pound sand. So now Iran is blockading anyone who doesn’t pay their toll and is civil to them, and Trump is (threatening to) blockade anyone who does, purely out of spite.
Yes…our reality really is that stupid.
This photo brings up a question I have.
I don’t know if there are any active service members here on Lemmy. And if there are, if they’re even free to express an answer to this question.
But I was wondering what it must feel like for a serving soldier to be compelled to stand at attention and salute this man; this National Guard wash-out that has never actually served any day in his life but suddenly found himself in a position where men and women FAR better than him, have to salute him.
8 has always been my favourite. As long as I resist the urge to draw spam. It can get repetively easy if you just draw and cast magic from your enemy, never having to use your own resources.
For most games, it depends on who you’re asking. I, for example, hate multiplayer looter-shooters, so the most overrated game to ME would be Fortnite. It literally hold no attraction for me and the thought of even playing it makes me shudder.
However, the universal answer is really any EA sports title.
It’s literally the same game every…damn…year…
Nobody seduced these chucklefucks into anything.
On behalf of Israel, Epstein and Maxwell honey-potted Trump and a bunch of other republicans, filmed them all kiddie-fucking so that Israel could say “Hey…you do what we say now, or else”.
It wasn’t a seduction. It was an order.
April 1, 1946. Push a very pregnant Mary Anne Trump down a very steep set of stairs.
In any other country on earth, Trump would have been dragged into the street a lynched by now.
I think the best American’s can hope for is that his own security detail order 66’s him.
If by movement you mean bullets…you’re almost there.
Is it a base within reach of Iranian drones? Pretty please…
Arrest a bunch of random people with great fanfare in order to preserve the optics of his claim. Then quietly release them with no media attention because there’s obviously no evidence because it’s all clearly covering up for incompetence.
Here’s where that’s troubling…
It’s a very small step between releasing them and making them disappear so that they don’t talk to the media afterwards
