It would be so nice if someone had the money and the balls to actually fight against these bogus uses of the DMCA when no copyright violations are even being made. It is used and abused solely as a scare tactic, and everyone just falls over when push comes to shove because they don’t have the money to take legal action themselves and fight it.

“The” asset browser could be any number of sources, some of which are not coupled to any specific engine. AAA games do also use already made shit, especially when it’s an inconsequential background item like a TV. They just don’t use them for the entire game.

In a similar vein, No Stupid Questions should have a name that clarifies that you’re not supposed to try and craft the stupidest questions ever, but to treat all the questions as not being stupid in the first place and just answering them without judgment.

Ok.

I take a real screenshot of a fake screenshot/edited website. How do you tell it’s a fake when the screenshot shows it’s an unedited, genuine screenshot?

This is already an issue with certain things. The Fresno Nightcrawlers come to mind. The OG video was analyzed to death and found that it wasn’t edited or manipulated. However, that doesn’t discount the use of practical effects to create the cryptid. Same with the famous Patterson footage of Bigfoot. The video is real; the subject isn’t.

Honestly, that way for obtaining flair and shit would be preferable to spending actual money. Especially if I could turn them in for a physical Lemmy shirt to wear IRL.

According to Abe, one of the most time-consuming and labor-intensive parts of game development is coming up with the “hundreds of thousands of unique ideas” needed to create the in-game environment. For example, if you want to put a TV inside of your game, you can’t just use an existing product as is – you need to think of a fictional TV design from scratch, including the manufacturer’s logo and everything else about the object.

I can just go into the asset browser and find a whole slew of TVs I can just add to my game and either use them as-is, or tweak the look a bit to fit my aesthetic choice and not need to reinvent the wheel every damn time. It’s such a small thing that’s just filling out the background, that adding details like a fictional logo aren’t necessary at all, unless it’s actually relevant to the plot somehow. What the fuck is Abe smoking with that example?

It does make sense if you replace the word time with money. Paying all those artists to make all those little details for every little thing is costly. But AI will do it for free.

Can I just take the $5000 and then fuck off to a better platform?

Do finger guns count as a thumbs up? My thumbs are up when I do them.

Deluge on desktop, Flud on mobile. 😃

“How much crack is in the craccoon?”

It’s only bizarre to those from the other universe. To all the bizarro citizens, it’s the other universe that is bizarre.

I do really want to try it cooked that way after watching so many Guga Foods/Sous Vide Everything videos. Seems like a lotta work, though, if you don’t have a machine and have to manually boil water and keep an eye on the temp the entire time.

I want my steak still mooing.

Capitalism only comes from nature in so far as humans came from nature and humans created capitalism. It is no more natural, nor any less harmful to nature than plastic.

It also wasn’t something we made up day 1. Capitalism isn’t even that old.

Bruh be having scientific eureka shower thoughts and wasting hella water.

Aw man! 😮‍💨

I don’t care; I ain’t eating it. 😬

I’m surprised it was even still able to be used. Last time I went to check out what I even had on my EA library and launched Origin, it wouldn’t let me do anything but get the new EA Play app.

Titties.

But you’re still gonna be rock hard. 😏
