now they be trying to make my Compile shooters hallucinate bullet hitboxes.

y'all need to stop.

Sonic and Tails, you are not outrunning anyone here.

You are in planes, and you know that is cheating, thus not proving any feats other than you two knowing how to pilot a small plane.

I only like to be social like once every two weeks, but I gotta stand next to a road with a sign and get honked at.

I had this book as a kid. You got the one of Mario in a hammock?

I still won't go into a crowded grocery store/Costco without a mask, much less a con.

Still a NOVID.

When I first played Lair at a GameStop kiosk years ago, it was quite clear that it wasn't going to be a Panzer Dragoon Saga. Or a Panzer Dragoon. Not even on the same tier as Panzer Dragoon Mini.

After coming home from a dev meetup just now, I asked my wife to stop me from going next time I'm having stomach troubles... but only if the topics aren't super interesting, or nobody I know is speaking.

not that I'm contagious but, ugh... this wasn't worth it.

at a Tech Square meetup, there was one guy who predicted coding would only be for hobbyists in a decade.

also that every dev needs like three different AI agents.

Oh that whole thread is nothing but dogpiling on both sides.

Once it became known that the art wasn't AI, there were people responding to *every* post lording over it. Like, wow, that is insane depths to defend someone's art of a generic cartoon squirrel not being AI. That isn't a good look either.

I took this the other day and got 0.0246. Even with that, the reds were the toughest.

this small on my phone, he looks like a dinosaur wearing shades. But still a dinosaur

But... can you really blame them in this case?

YES, AND IT'S ANNOYING!

Holy shit, I didn't even comment on the art until my hand was forced.

I'm not apoligizing for not liking something bland, and confusing it for AI slop.

And I'm logging off for the day.

thanks for making LinkedIn look less unhinged by comparison today, BlueSky.

I didn't have an opinion about the Conker fanbase before today, but y'all are down there with the Persona 5 fandom.

Bless your hearts, I'm done.

Being an absolutely insufferable twat over it says a hell of a lot more.

1. its some guy nobody has ever heard of declaring this

2. I declare myself the new leader of the Target boycott

3. Boycott is still on the menu, with a side of "Stop simping for billionaires, Axios, you're embarassing yourselves"

Can you really be mad at folks for thinking a particular take of a generic cartoon squirrel might be AI generated?

This is Conker. His first two appearances were so bland cringe that his breakthrough game was a self-degrading M-rated reboot of the character entirely.

I'm very confused!

Also, the artist might have had some form of style guide that he had to work with. And I don't trust a M$ sanctioned style guide in the age of AI, simply because those guys are so spitefully AI, that they will tell an artist "add these elements" to make it look like AI without saying "AI".

People are getting mad in the comments that this art is/isn't AI.

It's NOT, btw...

But with all due respect to the original artist, because all he had to work with are two cartoon squirrel faces, Conker's OG Game Boy Color design looked like slop in it's time. That's WHY we got BFD the way we did

The use of gloss and certain colors ring to AI's style. But the reason I didn't point fingers at any artist? How do I know that they're not given a weird style guide set by M$?

Do you really expect folks to say "I'm sorry I think that this one piece of a cartoon squirrel is a little derivative?"

Okay, maybe that a little snarky, but can you really blame anyone for thinking _any_ close-up of a Rare/M$-sanctioned by-the-style guide Conker DOESN'T look like GenAI slop?

Conker looked like slop as far back as the Game Boy Color days. Especially when it's just his face.

It's CONKER.

Seeing as to how I never made any comments about the art itself, I don't think that's necessary.

bye.

At least I'm least likely to get yelled at or shamed for replacing the "S" with a dollar sign than I was 20 years ago.

Shaming people for making fun of a multibillion dollar corporation had to have been a psyop.

Okay. Cool.

Micro$lop still did a number on poor Rare after the glory days of the N64.

I'm like Rockwell. I always feel like somebody's watching me.

I also vanish from any and all public life for like 30 years.

Aww, you gotta take a screenshot next time!

It's more pink in person, this lighting isn't great.

I got three pounds of kiwis last week so I made Snapple-booch.

youtube asking me if was not was walk the dinosaur "feels emotionally manipulative"

LMAO, what?!? this is not a joke, youtube legitimately just asked me if the music video for Was (not was)-walk the dinosaur feels "emotionally manipulative"
