This is so stupid and pointless…

“Thing not made to solve spesific task fails against thing made for it…”

This is like saying that a really old hand pushed lawn mower is better then a SUV at cutting grass…

That one looks way to big though…

I mean, your non-upgraded coins being worthless should be a pretty solid motivator.

Yes sure, fair point. I’m just pointing out that it’s all fiction.

All these “look at the thing the ai wrote” articles are utter garbage, and only appeal to people who do not understand how generative ai works.

There is no way to know if you actually got the ai to break its restrictions and output something “behind the scenes” or it’s just generating the reply that is most likely what you are after with your prompt.

Especially when more and more articles like this comes out gets fed back into the nonsense machines and teaches then what kind of replies is most commonly reported to be acosiated with such prompts…

In this case it’s even more obvious that a lot of the basis of its statements are based on various articles and discussions about it’s statements. (That where also most likely based on news articles about various enteties labeling Musk as a spreader of misinformation…)

I would agree with you if the same companies challenging copyright (protecting the intellectual and creative work of “normies”) are not also aggressively welding copyright against the same people they are stealing from.

With the amount of coprorate power tightly integrated with the governmental bodies in the US (and now with Doge dismantling oversight) I fear that whatever comes out of this is humans own nothing, corporations own everything. Death of free independent thought and creativity.

Everything you do, say and create is instantly marketable, sellable by the major corporations and you get nothing in return.

The world needs something a lot more drastic then a copyright reform at this point.

I was just thinking the other day that the plot of the matrix would make a lot more sense now.

The ai is running a simulation of the 90s to keep growing because everything after that is tainted with internet memes and increasing amount of ai slop.

It’s fascinating. If you have to spend huge amounts money and effort on monitoring and scewing public opinion… Perhaps it is time for some fucking introspection…(I know the biggest bastards in this system are incapable of that… But still…)

America. Trying to emulate every aspect of the game Monopoly.

I guess other chance cards are next since the “get of jail free” card is implemented…

If I own all the streets we don’t need to bother with that tedious trading of properties.

I am chill. :) No need for either of us to read spite into the others comments. Text is bad at communicating tone :)

I guess my comment was meant more in general, not at you specifically (though I understand it being in a reply of course feels that way)

I am sorry my comment came of as hostile or combative

Oh absolutely, I was mainly targeting the notion that the way “legit” companies distribute the profits is somehow more fair.

If anything these markets show what the actual cost of production is, so it shows how much profit could have been distributed to those actually producing the goods. (Including designers, factory workers etc)

A lot more people could have sustainable incomes instead of CEOs getting their third yacht…

Look, it’s a funny and ironic turn of events and my comment mainly tried to expand upon why this evokes this emotional response from some people.

Also, I don’t think most Americans identify with the shady practices of corporations either, so equating a undoubtedly shady history on copyright with the stance of all Chinese people everywhere is a bit… 🤔

As others have mentioned it’s also not accidental that the outrage is at the Nintendo store specifically. There is a lot of bad blood between the Chinese and the Japanese.

Yea, better word indeed :)

Yes, because that is where all the profit goes in Western companies, and not the CEO, upper management and stockholders…

You are not wrong in assuming that exploited labor is being under compensated, but different models of labor exploitation aside, people actually making value are not the people reaping the benefits.

As if random internet outrage ever cared about getting the fundamental details correct, when there is rage to be had.

I think the cultural theme of the game is more reason for the “anger” than the gameplay formula.

Its based on the most famous Chinese mythological story / fairytale about the Monkey King Wukong.

I have not deep dived into it, but I think it’s a treasured and well known story in China, and I assume a lot of Chinese people are proud of their mythology being a successful story outside of China as well.

I was actually prepared for the Forbes article to be the type of article it criticizes. I’d say the title is under selling the article, and I bet the downvotes are making the same assumption I was.

I also think the title of article is intentionally made to target the people that actually needs to read the Forbes being critical of yet a nother idiotic attempt by other media outlets to villify gaming.

I think the main reason is that StarCraft sprites were based on 3d models so either they can be made higher definition by working from the original assets or they simply upscale better.

Wc1 and 2 mainly uses hand drawn pixel art sprites, and it looks like they have gone with the “crude upscale + retouch” approach. Makes them look like the super scale filters lots of people used on emulators back in the day.

Honestly I think original art and a solid crt filter is the way to go with old Pixel classics. But i know this is a divisive position.
