I'm an artist. I don't like AI art, I don't use Ai in any capacity. Could the tech.be used by the right hands to create a legitimate work of art?
Sure . an incredibly select few(Not in a "generate this image" type of way, but I can see how one could make an argument for something conceptual and interesting done with the tech)
But the wider picture is that it will steal work from most of the skilled artist workforce, we are not able to compete whith the scale of ai output; and not everyone is suited for the independent artist life, because it's fucking hard. Also the visual literacy of the average person will go further down the drain, and It's already very poor, AI will kill a lot of future potential artists.. this is not even touching the effects this technology has in other areas of our lives.
Ai exists to make the average person more stupid, more reliant in the corpos, more isolated in their own bubble. It makes me despair, but also fuels me to keep doing art, even if it is only for myself. I will not let them take the only thing I'm good at away from me.
I'm interested and invested in the fish ranking now as well, please do.
I cant' do zombie games anymore, so I was happy with only watching the tv adaptation. But your screenshots show the amout of attention to detail and care that went into buiding this world, the atmosphere looks phenomenal, I might watch someone else do a playthrough.
I have been loving it so far <3 the world design and exploration is so so satisfying. I get why it's such a revered title. I just wish I didn't fall off to my death so often, but, alas, that's a skill issue. XD
Dark souls. (Post Ornstein and Smough.) I want to figure out how to interact with the anor londo painting, and I'm also debating whether to go new londo ruins, or the post Queelag area next, (or maybe the catacombs.) lots of options now that I've unlocked teleportation. I still feel like I have tons of exploring to do, in the beginning I felt really underleveled for a bunch of areas but It might be time to give them another go.
How privileged are we that we can access this knowledge in the blink of an eye. I love peering into our insides, and I don't have to rob graves to do it!
Oh nooo it's bad.But it also kinda lets you "roleplay"the character so there's that ... I was considering a Karlach origin run but maybe not. :/ pointless .
Maybe playing as an origin character would require a whole buch of "internal dialoge" that added too much extra work, so they scrapped it. Its indeed a shame 'cause you are right, I'd like to experience more of said character. So in the end it's counter intuitive. ( I can't imagine a mute Astarion during the Cazador scene! Wtf)
Tim Downey is Gales' voice actor (the mage), he was also the only one to use his real voice for the role. Astarion's voice acting (the vampire) is very memorable as well (by Neil Newbon), but if you play as any of the characters you barely hear them, or so I've heard.(haven't done it myself)
I have a few favorite ones in english (which is not my first language) of the top of my head:
-Document/documented (I particularly like the Q sound of the second syllable and the cadence of the pronunciation)
-Cocoon. (Just great. Satisfying to say. Makes me feel cosy. 10's across the board)
-Gazebo. (Very removed from the usual sounds of my native language, unusual but fun)
Edited to add:
In spanish: Panóptico (panopticon) also satisfying to sat and with good cadence
