Yet here we are, and evil we are. Case closed

You can go ahead and waste time beleaguering the point if you want. It’s not gonna change the fact that humanity is inherently evil whether you like it or not.

If it makes you feel better, it means I am evil too. Then again, so are you. We all are. It’s just the natural state of being human.

See, here’s my problem with that: humanity is inherently evil so everyone would be killed by such a thing.

Well, you can sit and hate all you want, the rest of us will have fun with or without you.

The only one who’s going to suffer from being so miserable is you.

If you’ve seriously never heard of it before, look it up, it’s fun

I have no idea.

1. Typing a sentence into a search bar is not a computer skill.

2. No, AI is not free. They charge minimum $10 for a few credits to run an algorithm you have to run multiple times, burning through all of your credits, for a final result that looks shitty and can’t be customizable.

3. Human artists actually are cheaper. You’re wasting more money on the AI that you could have saved just having a human paint it for you.

4. Your actual motivation for using AI is to avoid other human beings. For all of your misanthropy, you certainly have no problem letting the most evil humans of all, people who run tech companies, exploit your dislike of others for their benefit, feeding the very beast you hate.

weLL I cAn’T mAkE iT mYSeLF isn’t an excuse for you to support a clearly exploitative and abusive industry, especially one that is harmful to yourself. Touch. Grass.

I don’t understand why anybody would need an AI for something like that when artists literally do the same thing on Deviantart for kicks.

And people pay money to use those AIs. Like tons of money. Hiring some asshole to draw it out would literally be cheaper than the big AI platforms.

Fund a grassroots media campaign advocating to make corporations pay to fix the environment and for price control laws to stop them passing on costs to the consumer.

At some point, people are going to have to accept their legal systems have been completely broken by regulatory capture and that they’re going to have to go to war to implement new governments that actually will do what the people want them to do. That’s the real talk that needs to happen

Ooh. Do you drink them because you work out or for health reasons or?

What’s a huel-like foodshake?

Which country?

How could they enforce such a thing? Just incorporate in another country and put the money there. Accept payment for micro transactions in Bitcoin. It’s not like they could take a foreign company to court; you just have to pick the right country that doesn’t honor such things.

And then we just go back around to the “too bad, we don’t have a choice” argument. We don’t have a choice. The fact that it’s hard or inconvenient to make one doesn’t change the fact that we have to. Stop being lazy and focus on making or improving a free open-source engine so you can make games. Priorities first. You can’t make a game without a suitable engine so you don’t have a choice regardless of any other consideration or circumstance.

Life is not always easy or convenient. Often, it’s the opposite. And you have to deal with that.

Then it’s time for us to put our heads together and make it so. Godot’s open source.

It’s not that it’s hard (although it definitely is), it’s literally just infeasible financially and time wise.

And yet somehow Godot exists.

Somehow, they managed to build a viable 2D and 3D open source engine without a massive AAA studio so clearly your assumptions are just wrong.

You just don’t like being told you have to take responsibility for a problem someone else caused, and to that, I don’t blame you. It’s not right that we have to go through any of this. But honestly, it’s time for us millennials to realize that putting in the elbow grease to build alternatives to what others have done to us isn’t doing that, it’s us building the infrastructure to allow us to move on from the powers that be, and if you want to break away from them, you have to. Your abusers will not liberate you for you.

It’s time to nut up and do it now.

🤔 So what’s stopping people from simply making games under the free license and selling them anyway without paying Unity ridiculous taxes and fees?

Also now would be a great time to just use Godot and be done with it.

Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s hard, the companies that did it are using it to control you and so now you don’t have a choice.

So get cracking or don’t complain.

Also Godot is a thing.

No, there are many brain changes involved with PTSD including the prefrontal cortex and the study clearly didn’t take it into account.

I didn’t even say anything about the amygdala. I said PTSD. Don’t put words in my mouth.

That’s a really reductive oversimplification of the situation.

How does it account for PTSD sufferers at all?

The motivation problem isn’t the school’s fault, it’s yours. You choose to not want to learn.
