While it was originally an American brand, Sensodyne's parent company got bought by a British company in 2000, then spun off into another British company through corporate restructuring in 2022. It's not Canadian, but it's at least not American-owned.

  • Slay the Spire
  • Stardew Valley
  • Sunless Skies
  • Vampire Survivors
  • Nine Sols
  • Hollow Knight
  • Balatro

It's kinda crazy just how much time got put in for StS and Stardew.

I think this might be my favorite of his, aside from the "spice things up in the bedroom" one.

There's a followup.

Ignoring whether or not AI is able to deliver the same quality as humans, it boils down to that capitalism views human beings as a unit of work. So many of those units of work are necessary to achieve a product. AI is supposed to cost less than humans to produce the same amount of work.

Humans, however, aren't just a simple measurement of what they can put out. Your worth isn't tied to your productivity, or the amount of capital you have. Those factors might affect your total worth, but capitalism would have you believe that these are the only metrics that matter. Creative activity has been a staple of humanity throughout history, and it's now a job where you can produce something that has some semblance of soul attached to it.

So when it comes to replacing artists with AI, there's the offense that companies are trying to stifle what artists can get work by replacing them with versions that are mimicry, at best. I've seen fantastic works of AI art, but every single instance of it used by companies is replacing a creative human job for the sake of saving costs.

But AI doesn't do a good job at most things. It has a terrible record of answering questions accurately, self-driving technology isn't yet to the point where it's been deemed safe, and we don't have robots at the point where they can replace a human doing something as simple as stocking shelves. But what it can do, really well, is imitate art, whether it's drawing, or vocal performances, or to an extent physical performances. People are worried about artists because those are the jobs affected right now. But the minute those other jobs are able to be automated away in a cost-effective manner, you'll see people pissed about that, too.

I'm in this meme and I don't like it.

I volunteer with my party, and we got told last week that our candidate's campaign would kick off tomorrow, the 13th. Maybe they got wind of something like that.

You say that, but given the stuff I've experienced at work, you can have a functional site that's still a garbage fire on the backend (not to say that Pawb is).

Thanks! I kept checking Telegram this morning, but it looks like I stopped just before you guys posted the update.

[–] Kovukono@pawb.social 2 points 4 months ago

Thanks! I haven't had the chance to do a lot of stuff like this before, but I figured I'd do something more for me this time around.

Alright, source (unless it's Twitter)?

 

Commission done for @Sheeple@lemmy.world.

 

Commission done for Griffonki on Reddit.

 

I've been trying to figure out what the culprit is for this, but haven't found anything in the settings. This post, for example, has text that's pretty unreadable because it's forcing a lower resolution on it.

The image that's given is https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/fac38222-c5e7-448c-83e2-218d54e350eb.jpeg?thumbnail=1500&format=webp, but when you clean up the URL to https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/fac38222-c5e7-448c-83e2-218d54e350eb.jpeg, it's perfectly legible. In fact, if you choose to share the post link from the nested 3-dot menu on the share option (from the 3-dot on the post), it'll give you the cleaned URL.

I've set it up to use both auto DPI and 400, the highest manual setting here, but it's done nothing. Likewise, the max zoom setting doesn't affect it, and I can't find any way to get it to stop adding extra parameters to the URL. Is there a setting I'm missing, or is this supposed to be intended behavior?

 

Characters this time are Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash.

 

Done for lunartwilight16 for her D&D character.

 

Done as a request for Miles.

Still trying out more, but I'm actually pretty happy with how this turned out. If there's anything I can improve, or anything you'd like me to draw, just let me know.
