lamo you think a disney princess experience is $100?

that's just to get in the door to the princess shop and a tshirt



You want the princess dress? That's another $100. Shoes? Not included. Gotta pay for those too.

They're also going to show your darling little princess all the accessories that "go with" her chosen princess which are, you guessed it:



Less than half the price of the Star Wars experience, what a bargain!

legit curious how they'll actively deal with that and how they will filter, considering a lot of properly done AI art won't be easily distinguishable. I'm thinking this is added as a way to be able to shut down either a game that obviously ctrl+c/ctrl+v straight off Midjourney/etc, or a game that receives too many complaints from customers about using AI art.

e: reading the article it seems this is solely about a dev that outed themselves as using AI art for WIP assets, and that even after removing them valve continued to deny their game. Feels very arbitrary, is what I'll say.

if anything you should take your kids to the cheapo lovely amusement parks when they're young and it's all magical and they don't know any better and then when they're old enough just explain that disney is a scam

steam is fine. whining about porn games is the biggest self tattling because you have to opt in to them in your settings. also yes there is a lot of garbage but they give you plenty of tools to find the good games.

Yep. We took the grandkid to the mount Olympus water park at the wisconsin Dells and she had a blast swimming in the pee water, riding the 4 kids rides until she was sick, and racing on the 5 go kart tracks with papa. The wait lines were non-existent if you go during the week between open and 4.

Is there something else that's bothering you Mr. President?

Steam just clearly needs to develop their own AI that is trained to recognise the common tells in AI generated images, set it to moderate the steam store and let them battle it out.

Lol, I’m sure that will go as well as Pete handling the United Crisis.

quote:

Now Mr Oil exec, we have to talk about your oil trains. I highly encourage to only run them from 4AM to 11:59PM. If you don’t, I’m going to be very cross.

Oh, your schedule is going to be 24 hours because of weather and a falsified failure of whatever team of my department regulates trains? Well that’s ok then. as long as you have a good reason.

Headline: Sec Pete has tough talks with train industry about keeping Colorado clean

Opinion: The Colorado River was never that clean anyway

Journal Article (written by DOT department head): The long history of mining pollution in the Colorado River

Edit: In my personal stuck at the airport crisis, I’m flying out in Delta this morning because gently caress United. But uh… I’m going to Charlotte and I have no desire to skateboard across the runway and then deplane via slide.

Oh and my bags got out on another plane yesterday by United. they are supposed to end up in Charlotte today. Guess we’ll see!
