A lot of people genuinely don't have the desire or capacity to imagine consequences so AI Art is just a weird fun thing, why are people so mad?

COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING

mutata posted:

There was an opinion piece published in NYT or WP or whatever written by a tech bro who said that AI art is gonna put entitled artists in their place and allow everyone access to their privileged way of life or some bullshit so at least some of it is nerds who couldn't even hack it at drawing so they developed complexes and want to get rich while getting their revenge for when a classmate drew a really good Twilight Sparkle and impressed the girl they liked in 6th grade.

For some reason it didn't line up with me that the same guys who are trying to invent sexbots to put women in their place want to invent other technologies to put their other perceived enemies in their place

Also I forever lol that the same dudes who a decade or so ago were militant athiests are now spending their entire lives trying to create the Omnissiah

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
So Hi Fi Rush is good, and I can see that this is going to be a contender for a lot of poeple's GOTY list. It's got a ton of style and it's very charming.

However I just finished chapter 4 and the cracks of this game starting to become really apparent, at least for my personal tastes. There is just a lot of platforming in this game but the movement is absolutely not designed around platforming even a little bit. So a lot of the platforming feels pretty bad, especially considering how much the game wants you to stay on beat. I just did an escape sequence which I usually LOVE, but the platforming in this game isn't good so it just ended up being frustrating. The combat is fun but it kind of feels like they want to do TOO much. I don't enjoy the partner mechanic very much, but you have to use them for certain enemies. The accessibility options for combat mechanics are barely anything which is also a disappointment. And also this is really just a personal taste thing, but I'm already starting to get tired of the music, despite it being good. I really wish each chapter was a different genre of music, because it's all starting to sound pretty samey to me. I get the whole gimmick is this dude thinks he's a rockstar, but I'd like a change of pace from the rock music. This is probably my biggest problem with the game. I imagine people who are super into this music will obviously love it going the whole way through, but I want a break from it. One chapter being this, one chapter being pop, one chapter being country, etc etc would be something I'd be way more into.

The game is very stylish, I love the PS2 era feel of the game, the voice acting is fantastic (Erika Lindbeck rules), the animation is great, I love the transitions to 2D animations it does from time to time. I like what it's trying to do and it nails the feeling of PS2 game that really wants to try something new. But the more I play the less charmed I'm becoming

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


The partner actions in Hi-Fi Rush rule once you start learning how to use dodge/parry counters since you'll usually get a free action on whatever shield-breaking property they have. All of them have their own unique combo ender that usually results in some launcher for another combo. Just awesome stuff.

Speaking of rhythm games (Hi-Fi Rush is great from what I played on game pass so far), I picked up Rhythm Sprout after trying out the demo a while back and it's pretty great. Glad there's so many good rhythm games on PC now like Muse Dash, the Unbeatable demo, DJ Max, and the a good amount of indie stuff.

rift of the necrodancer is theoretically going to come out at some point, too; kinda feels like a small renaissance for the genre

I still need to play more of Necrodancer, I love it but I'm terrible at it. Can keep rhythm fine it's just learning the enemy patterns, need to try it again. Definitely a lot better than when I felt my best rhythm game option for less than 10 year old games was buying a SDVX controller (that I now use for Miku instead).

If you want a Necrodancer experience that's a little bit more approachable, if you have a Switch try out Cadence of Hyrule

the mustache lacks texture for some strange reason, there's no wisps of hair on the tips or the bottom so it looks like a piece of plastic stuck to his face

they have it on luigi's face and DK's fur sure has texture so maybe someone just forgot to flip an effect back on before rendering

Bowser is the largest character on the poster, they know what the people want.

Also what's with the random Paratroopa. Is there going to be one that's an actual character?

There's been like 9 games that have shut down in the last week or so, but one doesn't count because it's transitioning to a sequel/new client and allowing players to keep their profiles.
