I would much prefer an honest approach to generative AI over more culture industry corpo slop made by humans for profit, and the reduction of artists to mere service providers (which is where artists come from, I get that).
Just smile, you'll feel better immediately, trust
Do it like this guy

Yes. All I'm saying is please don't simply dismiss this, it shows how adaptable right-wing ideology is.
I agree with everything else you said.
Anyone here remember Negative XP? Yeah like, we had this discussion 6 years ago or smt. Although I would never agree with this fascist piece of shit, what I take of this thumbnail is indicative of a very real phenomenon. Western countries becoming more progressive and integrating values of former counter-cultures over the last decades actually is doing new-right/alt-right movements a favor โ at the moment, at least. If we're lucky it will backfire in a few years.
There was a similar mission in GTA San Andreas btw, I think they took inspiration from that. It wasn't nearly as cool as the FC3 one though
I've noticed that animations seem a bit smoother, but that's hella anecdotal.
Yeah I noticed this too. Plus some recent update fixed my lawnchair, the app launch animations were kinda broken for a few months.
I immediately recognized that scene, it's the mushroom trip! I loved all the trippy scenes in this game. Far Cry 3 OST was the first game soundtrack I put on my phone to listen to outside of the game, too (leaving the PlayStation on to blast Crash Bandicoot 2 Sewer or Later level music on the TV on max volume doesn't count lol).
Back then the Ubisoft formula was still fresh and games made with it were actually a ton of fun.
My paternal grandparents were so not like this. Even though they grew up in a post WW II Germany. I think they realized, either consciously or subconsciously "hey, this kid grows up in a world where there's enough food, they do not need to worry. If they want to play with it or waste some of it, it's a privilege and we are happy for them"
I had a dirt-poor phase in my early adulthood, there was a time where I only ate whatever could be scavenged on my dumpster diving tours + cheap pasta. I try to handle it like my grandparents and be empathetic and understanding towards friends who leave leftovers on their plate or have a, ehm, laid-back approach of handling food that tends to spoil easily. Deep down it hurts me so much to see it though.
Drugs. In general + some individual substances. I know literally no one who thinks of them in the same way I do.
