Compared to aviation, road vehicles have virtually no structured regulations.

Even road rules are considered optional by many drivers. Lots of people drive without a licence.

I tended to go do some Golden Saucer stuff because I just wasn’t that interested in the crafting levels. I never really need anything crafted; playing solo the gear you get in msq is more than enough.

FFXIV

I’m a huge FF fan, and 14 has a lot of praise so I had a go. I enjoyed FFXI somewhat so I thought maybe 14 would be enjoyable, but no matter how long I stuck around I just couldn’t figure out if it was fun. I spent a lot of time making number go up, but when I stepped away from the computer I felt like I hadn’t achieved anything.

I played through the base game. The first expansion. Began the second expansion. I reflected on my experience and I couldn’t even tell you what the game was about. It’s just walk here, click an NPC, walk there click an NPC, fight battle, repeat. And the battles are so boring; the expectation is that you learn the ideal rotation of attacks and abilities and you just apply that to 99% of battles and make sure to do them efficiently - if you can’t do that you are labelled a noob.

Maybe the difference between 11 and 14 was that I did 11 with a friend, so it felt like I was spending time with him, whereas I did 14 by myself.

Nah, I’m on board.

While we are at it, we can retire the letter “C” too. K and S can cover everything that isn’t a “ch” sound, so we will replace c with whatever the “ch” letter is.

I’m sure we can do something similar with “J” as well.

I don’t like that the uppercase is smaller than the lowercase

Is this a real picture?! Wild!

I think it’s proven fact that things often sell off of the art and IP, sometimes for those alone. If that wasn’t the case they wouldn’t fight so hard to protect it.

People are just discussing the pros and cons of technology in the Technology comm. Chill out.

It’s a reference to the popular TV show How I Met Your Mother

When I’m sad I just stop being sad and be awesome instead.

“I can’t possibly think of where this image, of a famous movie actor in a period costume, could have come from, therefore it’s AI”

LLMs can’t forget things because they are not capable of memory.

This is the most level headed approach to IP I’ve seen. If you’re not willing to use the property you forfeit it. It’s a common contact for licensing rights for movies that forces a studio to make a movie or lose rights. That way people can’t squat on a licence to prevent others using it.

Because it’s a stepping stone in the learning. Using something like tailscale that just works allows you to develop skills with other software and workflows. Eventually you progress to harder things like hosting your own private VPN.

To be fair, I totally understand why people think it’s AI. Between the phone camera processes and the extreme postprocessing, this looks more deep fried than some memes I’ve seen. It almost looks like it’s got a cartoon filter applied.

Add on the fact that OP is trying hard to down play how much editing has been done, it starts to feel like it doesn’t add up. If OP posted the unedited photo to show the bad phone sharpening and admitted how much editing was done on top of that, people would understand what they are looking at.

Don’t get me wrong, it looks cool, but when someone says “oh, no I just took this with my phone”, I look at that and think that’s not the whole truth.
