No, they aren’t.

We don’t boil lobsters just because we can, but because we cook our food.

Correct. Scientists have done studies on vibrations from plants and they have a reaction to being cut and pulled that could be equated to a “pain” response.

So let me get this straight, rather than almost immediately killing them by dropping them in boiling water, instead we’re supposed to slowly freeze them to death first? That’s supposed to be more humane?

Lobsters have a decentralized nervous system, so stabbing it in the head doesn’t really do anything. It’s pretty much just something chefs started doing to appear to know more than the home cook. There’s no scientific reason for stabbing them first.

My boss used to sell on Amazon, until one time they royally screwed him over using this method. He had a product where he was given exclusive online rights to sell. Somehow it disappeared in the Amazon warehouse, but at least they provided a refund. Less than a week later, the same product showed up back on Amazon under a first time seller.

Working for a small business, Amazon has absolutely allowed for the collapse of local retail. But let’s be real, people put local retail out of business. People chose convenience over community. They’d rather have it delivered to their door, or to their trunk, instead of actually taking the time to walk into a store that’s not a Target or Walmart.

Don’t order from Amazon. Easy fix.

Looks like. Board games are pretty awesome. Heck, you could become a game designer/developer!

It’s not a bubble though. That’s like waiting for the internet bubble to pop back in the 90s. AI will be around from now on, just not as such an in your face way. It will eventually become ubiquitous, just like many other pieces of tech.

There were no artists who would have been paid to create placeholder textures. They would have used textures from open source sources, or from previously used textures.

I agree that AI should never replace the job a person could do, but in this instance the user of AI caused no loss of income.

The reason they didn’t disclose it as being used in the creation of the game is probably because no AI was used in the ultimate development. It’s an artist who uses AI to generate concepts and inspiration using AI in their artwork, even if everything in the end is hand crafted and doesn’t resemble any of the generated images?

One thing we need to take into account going forward too is that AI will inevitably be used for things like texture maps and environmental generation. Things that have been randomly generated with algorithms. In a year it’s going to be nearly impossible to say no game can have any AI used at all, unless you want the pool of potential to be incredibly small.

It’s hilarious that this dude thinks he’s a boxer, yet the first time he legit gets punched in the face his jaw breaks.

I’ve been using Scribus for layout design for years. It works well, but there’s a huge learning curve. Being able to have another option would at least be welcomed.

Don’t worry, we weren’t.

My daughter would not be in trouble for this, regardless of the school’s reaction.

Dude, I hate Trump and MAGA too … but please look at the actual info.

Glad I ended up ruining my 6A attempting to replace the battery and had to upgrade.
