  • i ripped all my dvds specifically to get rid of the menus because they were slow, hard to use, and full of frustrating animations. they usually just felt like an afterthought.

    i've never been one to be swayed by extras, it usually just feels akin to jingling keys to get me to buy shit. maybe i'm weird.

  • it's called "distrohopping", and yes. nowadays it's easier to do it in a vm, but less fun

  • thankfully there is a -bin package

  • i've never heard of anyone that keeps dvd menus around. like, i get it for archival purposes but i would never want to actually navigate a menu when i want to watch something. in my mind it's like sitting through the commercials on a rented vhs. i would probably store a converted copy as well, in a format that would let me specify from the application what track and subtitle i want so i can set a default.

  • you think they may be wrinkly because they're cured?

  • i think so, actual black olives aren't very popular so they're harder to get

  • not necessarily. image generation models work on a more fine-grained scale than that. they can seamlessly combine related concepts, like "photograph"+"person"+"small"+"pose" and generate plausible material due to the fact that all of those concepts have features in common.

    you can also use small add-on models trained on very little data (tens to hundreds of images, as compared to millions to billions for a full model) to "steer" the output of a model towards a particular style.

    you can make even a fully legal model output illegal data.

    all that being said, the base dataset that most of the stable diffusion family of models started out with in 2021 is medical in nature so there could very well be bad shit in there. it's like 12 billion images so it's hard to check, and even back with stable diffusion 1.0 there was less than a single bit of data in the final model per image in the data.

  • bro the difficulty is yet another reason why i don't want to get into it. you really think i'm in a mental state to be beaten to a bloody pulp after a rant like that? i gave up on tunic because the combat was too hard.

    it is my firm belief that soulslikes have ruined metroidvanias because they now apparently all need to beat you to death for attempting to enjoy them.

  • black olives from pizza places are usually not actually black; they're green olives that have been chemically treated to oxidise quicker.

    ...which is presumably why they usually taste like o-rings.

  • You clearly lack the context of the world and story of the main souls games beyond only what is on the cover.

    ...yes? i don't know how much more clearly i can spell out that what's on the cover is preventing me from playing the games.

    You are very much in the wrong and deeply at that, over what the meaning of the worlds of from soft games.

    until this sentence i was completely certain that you were agreeing with me

  • it's such a fucking good joke too

    "good thru: FOREVER"

  • mr freeze and poison ivy are definitely the most sympathetic of the main cast of batman villains. as in, their motivations make more sense than like... calendar man.

  • sitting down on a leather seat in a hot car is like voluntarily immersing yourself in napalm

  • i mean, the films perfectly captures the camp of the batman characters, which i'd say makes the films good.

    i hold that the best modern version of batman is The Brave and The Bold.

  • idk i can barely look at the games without feeling awful, im just going off of the opinion of others
