The problem is that genAI isn't good at creating new, distinct faces. It's good at making approximations of faces based on heaps of visual information. It only makes sense that if you use the slop generator, you're going to get a consistent, samey, lifeless pile of slop.

In essence, stop pulling the slop lever expecting a fine crafted turkey dinner. You're not pulling the turkey dinner lever, you're pulling the pink slime lever.

Oh hey, EA is taking an upcoming sequel, dumping a shit ton of money into it in short time, and trying to get it pushed out the doors with unrealistic sales goals?

I'm certain this has happened many other times but the first and only other example I know off the top of my head is Dead Space 3. "The last game barely sold like we wanted it to sell, so this time you're going to almost double the previous sales target in less time."

Fell asleep, woke up, suddenly there's only 30k left on the EU initiative.

The Mojave. The desert is gorgeous, I long for getting away from the humidity, and I NEED a burger at Goodsprings.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is a new concentration camp built in the swamps of Florida. They're selling Alligator Alcatraz merchandise to fund some cartoonishly evil dickwad's political campaign.

Right, and that is commendable. Just please keep comments like "You guys seem like a fun bunch to hang out with" to yourself, it's not really adding to the discussion and we don't need snide remarks about the fear and uncertainty we feel in regards to the collapse of the global environment. Keep that chin up, don't let people harsh your vibe, but please don't push down when people are rightfully worried about the future. Things are going to be getting very hard for a lot of people a lot sooner than we were hoping for, it's only natural that people are going to feel negatively about it.

The EU petition is at 836k signatures! That's really fucking rad.

Shot in the dark, maybe a first aid item/prop had its red cross changed/removed?

 

As in, channels where the presenter is laid back, calming, and the content is slower paced and chill. My go two examples are LGR for retro computer stuff, and Hainbach for experimental tape music.

 

Inspired by the very similar thread about school incidents.

 

Apologies if this post ain't right for this community! I'm admittedly not interested in self-hosting myself, but I've a close buddy who's wanting to get back to streaming, but rightfully hates Amazon. He's wanting to self-host with Owncast to do video streaming with his pals, but lives in a very small flat with very little free space - hence the request for a laptop.

Ideally he's needing something great for video encoding, and Linux friendly to boot. No Windows. Mate's got a budget of ~£1,000.

If there's a better community for this lemme know!

 

After a best mate of mine introduced me to Fela Kuti's works I've been real interested in hearing music from other cultures you don't hear much stuff from. Doesn't have to be traditional music styles (love it when genres and cultures fuse together, like Masayoshi Takanaka taking influence from Brazilian music), but I'd love to hear that as well!

 

(I know Linux is better than Windows, there's a better time and place for that talk)

SPECS: OS: Windows 10 Pro N Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X GPU: NVidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti RAM: 4x HyperX Fury DDR4 8GB sticks (two rated for one clock speed, the other two rated for another. As I understand it the faster sticks will just run at the speed of the lower two, and it deffo ain't causing issues cause I've tested games with just one pair or the other. Both gave me crashes)

Minidump file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/g34xykxagp29246/050524-8937-01.dmp/file

Simply put, built a custom Windows machine and it gives me BSODs on many more recent games. Deep Rock Galactic, crashes within seconds to minutes of actual gameplay (not including the hub). Remnant: From the Ashes, crashes within minutes on the overworld. Starfield, crashes within minutes to two hours. Blood West, crashes within five minutes of gameplay. Helldivers 2 works fine ingame, but once I quit the game it blue screens within seconds of returning to the desktop.

I've reinstalled drivers. I've disabled sound drivers. I've popped the computer open and reseated everything at least two or three times so far. RAM was tested using MemTest86, no issues at all. CPU temps tend not to exceed anything higher than the 70-75 range ingame (hot, but my processor is rated for up to 90 Celsius). I've reapplied thermal paste four times. I'm on my third install of Windows so far, with this being the Pro N version rather than the Pro version I tried the first two installs. I've had a bit of a go at googling the highlighted files in the Minidump file, but at this point I'm all but giving up. If the Internet can't fix this shit, I'll just sell the components or machine at a loss and stick with an older gaming laptop.

 

One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What're some of your favorites?
