mate i think you’re remembering a different reality because BK sucks hard and has since the 80’s

NGL adidas, being one of two companies that were started by essentially heirs to the dude who got rich designing and manufacturing the nazi boots, then later saying “ol antisemitic yeezy isn’t that bad right?” for hopes of more money… is admittedly a really bad look.

i would say i don’t get it for the low hanging fruit troll, but fuck that. they really are just that stupid

oh wow yet another fucking problem involving the f-35

thanks margot!

i really appreciate you taking the time out of your normally-busy schedule to just be in the river of shit with the rest of us. really makes us feel like our trudge work is worth some respect.

loved you in barbie, btw.

jesus fuck i cannot wait for these old bags to fucking croak and take their outdated logic with them.

aaaaahahahahahahaha that bitch can get fucked for all hundred k of it.

nice.

glad to see he made it out safely.

unfortunately that works up until a point. past a certain point of engrained expectations and ubiquitous adoption by a majority of society, it no longer works.

google has gotten to that point.

google needs to be broken up, regardless, for the people not smart enough to adapt to using another search engine.

and guess what: if google gets broken up, a lot more people also won’t use google anymore, and then you get your wish!

found the bmw driver at heart

i legitimately laughed at this comment rofl

nail on the head

that is a special kind of stupid.

they should have had him sign a waiver saying the coast guard didn’t need to watch out for him, and then send him on his way, godspeed.

trust me, the human gene pool could desperately use it.

as you can see this man is wearing a mask and all those tattoos prove that he is a uh… *checks notes* …government plant. a “fed” as they say.

bethesda announces game concept.

people freak.

bethesda announces game. 

people hype.

bethesda starts hyping the game.

people go fucking nuts hyping the game as a result. their social media team plants those seeds to make it look organic.

a year or more of speculation occurs.

todd howard being his little schmuck self comes out and boasts about their new game.

people lose their god damn minds.

whispers of shitty gameplay start occurring closer to launch.

the masses tell those people to fuck off how could they know, dishonest review etc etc.

the big names in game reviews all review it and give it out of the park amazing reviews.

people go batshit crazy. people are out in the streets killing their parents for a chance at the new bethesda god game.

the game is released and is somewhat playable but jesus fuck is it lacking, it’s buggy, and every character looks like they’ve been updated from skyrim graphics of yore. the story sucks. the game play is empty but goddamn is there a lot to explore.

everyone rushes in like a madman.

everyone realizes the gameplay sucks.

people start bitching.

others say “oh don’t worry, DLC and user created mods will fill the game out nicely.”

years pass.

the unpaid modding community pours their heart and soul into making the game not fucking suck.

after all the DLC has come out (all with mostly positive or mixed reviews on steam) the game will go dark for a year or so.

todd howard wakes from his capitalist vampire coma needing fresh life force. the blood money of his unsuspecting idiot fans.

todd howard makes it into the office and says we could make a new game or we can milk this game for the next decade and a half. quick come up with names to rerelease the game under. game of the year edition. complete edition. master edition. elite edition. remastered. remastered complete. anything works!

over the course of the next three decades, todd howard is fed the blood of bethesda’s fan base.

he is swollen, like a fat tick upon his harkonen throne, waiting to burst.

“the people. they call for a NEW game”, he says, a devilish sneer contorts his face.

and the cycle continues.

and these fucking idiots. every goddamn time.

fine i’ll get one of those crazy mormons to jump hump me into butt fuckin a twink. stick to the LDS rules.

well it’s not quite rome, but… when in the place where romans eventually went to and then we’re like “yo let’s bury a golden book”, then it’s time to reign in the bodacious butt fuckin?

idk it’s all greek to me.

depends. if they do that, no lie, they invite the streisand effect by doing so.

the only way for that to occur is for the person to scrub the internet of all references to their art work and make sure any public or private viewings happen in person with no capture devices of any kind allowed. then you have a chance at accomplishing not having your art be absorbed.

the reality is, if it exists on the net, it will be absorbed by others out there. sometimes just out of sheer spite. if it weren’t so easy to shit out a home brew ai stable diffusion model or lora in hours, then sure, there might be a way of legally pursuing. fortunately art is now going to become so democratized that there will be a myriad of new artists to copy from.

but at this point that’s like trying to shut down pepe the frog as a meme. just ain’t gonna happen. pepe’s been let out of the box.

i think the artists are scared that with ai in the mix, they’re going to be replaced. but that’s not true the same as painters weren’t replaced by photoshop and digital painters. they could actually embrace the change and lean into it, but unfortunately people tend to be like lemmings in their own echo chambers and the artist echo chamber said “THIS IS BAD! THIS IS STEALING!” never once thinking about all the methods they’ve stolen from others along the way. oh sorry, we will call it “influenced”. my bad.

but yeah, if they lean into it, great things can occur. a friend of mine has literally trained a private home brew model of her own artwork and then added in shit tons of fantasy concepts into the mix. as a result, a shit ton of her heavy lifting for illustration in graphic novels is already done. artists could be using it for inspiration or for reference.

honestly i can’t wait for the artist echo chamber to just calm tf down

let’s see them argue this for copying and further altering other people’s styles manually.

you know, what we call “art”.

you telling me all those people that thought “oh wow that artist’s method of using long curving lines is awesome, im going to try that too.” are somehow different than the act of visually scraping everything and then telling ai to create X in the styles of Y and Z?

sorry, but no.

if it is someone copying someone’s exact style and the acting as though the artist made it, that’s where it’s crossing a line. personally i think doing a carbon copy of a persons work is grounds for legal complaint.

but this shit? no.

i’m not even gay and id buttfuck a twink just to stick it to the man. then i would claim it’s not romantic because i’m not gay so how could i feel romance toward another male.
