What are the steps to reproduce an art style using computer programs and without artificial intelligence?
Emphasis mine.

which might be further context. So they might just be looking for inspiration.
Generally, I feel like it depends on how viable it seems to fix. Is this the same issue that people marched about 50+ years ago?
Specific elephant in the room, what possible fix within 2-4 decades is there when the right has most of the keys including a stacked supreme court?
Personally, I can’t really fight or leave. I am nowhere close to anything politically relevant… I have no transportation, income, or ID/passport etc. I am a shut-in with untreated health issues. I’m just letting the days go by.
I wrote an elaborate alt-text for this when I uploaded it in a comment:
But there is no alt-text there now unless I:
Yes, but It doesn’t look like the alt-text is ever actually saved to the image, I would guess instead just passed onto the comment editor after that initial upload. At least I don’t see it in the uploads tab (neither the preview nor in the viewed link itself, except on the original comment on page 9 of my comments).
That could be fine if there were a dedicated copy-markup-link button. It would also be nice for the alt-text to remain editable from there.
Also an annoyance with the standard Lemmy software (clients may fix it) is that alt-text is handled only in markup (not saved with the saved media) so if you want to post it in a comment later you need to copy the markup (from the post/comment where you first posted it) each time rather than from your uploads. Probably an issue for most files hosts (not offering alt-text) too.
Unless there is some file host that handles this?
EDIT: Posting in a community like this helps with this, though still will suffer when organization becomes an issue and also niche/comment-reply memes that don’t really make sense as a singular post.
I’ve been doing that with juice too (also adding iced tea powder, other stuff like almond extract (cherry taste) for more/different flavor) but I can’t imagine watering down soda unless using something that’s also carbonated. Which I never really tried the other carbonation options due to cost (not really drinking soda often though, tapwater is free).
Well, I did try watering something down with club soda once but that was gross particularly because the carbonation was already gone.
It’s called being cultured, like cheese. Though art is a bit different as whatever shapes you does so long-term, even if you could zap away issues instantly the memory and thus influence will still be there.
Also health/brain issues for me are likely a bigger detriment than anything, resulting in me doing nothing most of the time (small chores on a good day). So anything created is a rare win in spite of that.

No, you are thinking of serious concerns." I say to Agent Smith before doing the throat flick.

I like polygons.
No you don’t understand, JUST the polygons and in a countable amount too.
I don’t need the textures. It’s my aesthetic.
well yeah most people don’t have the hardware to play the pre-HD versions at their best
Maybe you mean an actual PS2, but IME using emu w/higher internal res on a non-stellar computer was a pretty good experience.
Meanwhile the HD version is data bloated (likely because everything is uncompressed for no reason, or multiple resolutions of FMVs including 4K) so the download would be painful for me. And really with Okami’s aesthetic especially, I don’t think HD is necessary (again, beyond just higher internal res and whatever other enhancements based on preference).
I think it would’ve been better to change the FMVs into in-engine if viable, I assume the ones that were pre-rendered was just a hardware limitation if not just some production thing.
I don’t see patient as “letting it slide [off]”.
These days I don’t really buy things ever, I mostly play free games if even that. Less hopeful of the industry, feel like I wasted money. Later purchases were more patient, but disappointment there only slowed it even further.
This is a me problem (and a lack of income), but I sort of see it as being patient to a fault.
something gets done and completed
I am talking within the context of mental/physical health issues and never having made anything close to a game. Personal despair, isolation, lacking viable options, collapse.
So it’s more of an existential crisis. I am guessing there are probably some idioms about learning/practicing survival skills when the ship you’re on is already sinking.
My guess would be it’s the “safe” option especially if avoidance calculation isn’t actually being done (also may not even work well with diff printer configs, multiple models). And yeah, slow Z travel.
Though I haven’t done 3D printing in a while (I should have kept it simple) so I don’t know. I would probably try to use some other print as a purge if possible, either via infill or just something that doesn’t matter (utility or will be painted anyway).
The topic and community have an unfortunate overlap for me, “patient” probably means I’m not doing it beyond some scattered attempts.
I have lurked with the ideas on different low-resource solo-dev specializations. I feel like the pieces are mostly there for me (Godot 4.4 will be closer to that), though I still need to put a lot of work in for no clear end-goal (I don’t really want to really sell something, even if I could).
And thinking about the future (gestures broadly) just makes me feel like
Personal issues sure don’t help.
This isn’t about paranoia. I’m a carless shut-in of Almost Nowhere, USA and there’s a pile of snow on the ground.
But mostly it was a joke, because it should be funny that it is an unlikely request.
I’m all for not trusting A.I., but please be realistic.
A family member has headsets they aren’t really using. They were having account issues (migration related?) and were worried by the wording when it comes to enabling dev mode. It even wants phone number or CC verification too.
So unless there’s some way to bypass that, it’s still a pain.
Funny thing I actually would like to develop for it too, though I haven’t made anything close to a game.
I am only interested in a niche compiled-to-<C/C++/JS> language due to the capability/speed while keeping readability. With that in mind, I wonder if Python’s JIT and no-GIL update will slow or reverse the stated trend (assuming it’s true at all).
Though it’s still an issue with bindings for something I can already use with my preferred lang, so is one reason why I haven’t tried it.
Lacking trustworthy connections to acquire and trip-sit, as well as the right state-of-mind for it in the first place. In other words, the same exact issue.
On top of that… any chance at that working likely depends on needing a mental re-alignment, as-in not living with on-going despair-inducing issues.
Vector/polygonal, truly implemented for the technical benefits* and likely untextured**. Which will make it more niche than the early 3D stuff that did use vertex colors ( EDIT: such as Spyro (specifically skyboxes, LoD) and Crash Bandicoot (Crash’s animations are cool too)).
3D polygonal+vertex color actually isn’t that difficult to do. I’ve done some, the real issue (aside from making it good) is actually the animation/game around it. I haven’t done much and continue not doing much because personal stuff.
2 examples (of my own stuff) I've used many times before
* less data while also rendering at native res without needing extra work (8K or even on a 50ft Billboard? Sure). MIDI (you can use higher-quality soundfonts) or other procedural stuff (sounds/sfxr, textures) are nice too.
** I’m not against not-too-many general-use textures, but I tried this (including a watercolor splatter texture I made) without mapping and wasn’t really happy with the results… plus normal maps won’t work with per-vertex¯ materials. So this probably takes a lot of effort/skill to work as-intended.
¯ not strictly necessary, but I don’t mind the idea aesthetically and a free optimization sounds nice even though low poly+vertex-color is already a low bar (unless per-vertex could help with webGL, mobile, VR, or really old devices etc?)
