No one is saying that this is some advanced form of sex positivity rather than just another example of sex sells, because it is. But sorry, trying to argue this album cover is anti-feminist (which is essentially what you're doing, even if not said in those words) is silly to me. Sex positivity is sex positivity, not "sex positivity but only when it's lesbian or if it's straight the woman is the dominant one." The same people criticizing it would be eating it up if she had a man on a leash for it.

Reddit is the king of making problems out of stuff that isn't problems, so I'm not surprised. Meanwhile all the other comments on social media are excited people or support. But you're right, this would be a weird thing to be super defensive for, which is why I've only made a couple of comments and am going to stop here. I truly don't care if you or anyone else personally dislike the cover, feel free. I don't even have a strong opinion on it, just the 'this cover is anti-feminist'-esque arguments. Men say terrible shit to women, especially online, and politicians are trying to rollback women's rights. These are both disgusting things that any normal and well-adjusted individual would have an issue with, the discussion was never about that. This album cover has no impact on either of those, that's all.

i want to start off by apologizing. i came into this thread hot and angry, and i didnt mean to lash out at anyone specifically

ive been seeing a lot of takes all day that have really gotten under my skin, and seeing some of those same takes pop up here set me off a bit

to let you know where i am coming from, i know about how Sabrina treats both sex and her relationship with men, and i can relate a lot as someone who is a ‘submissive’ and very outspoken on my own relationship with sex

ive been seeing a lot of people saying how that being depicted is ‘setting woman back, or ‘not needed now’, and i dont even blame folks for having that take, and it made me very sad that my own sexual experience or expression could be seen in a similar way, that me displaying my sexuality might be seen as a ‘stain’ of some kind

again, do apologize at lashing out, i didnt mean to come into this so aggro, and im sorry that i did

That Gavin Newsom thread reminds me of a reddit screenshot I saw recently on twitter (oh my god HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth, that sounds fascinating, tell me more!) of a trans lady complaining that their older brothers new girlfriend was over for dinner for the first time and spoke about how she's a lawyer and has worked on some gender critical cases and that led straight to "I don't feel safe because she hates me and wants me dead!".

Saying "I don't feel safe" when there isn't actually any threat to your safety isn't a winning argument. Rowling has stated over and over that she doesn't hate trans people nor does she want them dead, but they just continue to repeat the lines they read on the internet like a child throwing a tantrum. A parent might eventually give in to their whiny child, but you can't annoy your way to societal change. A whole-ass society will eventually get sick of your bullshit.

This is a patronizing-ass way to talk to someone who doesn't want to vote for someone who thinks they should be wiped off the map.

 From the most patronizing-ass on Resetera, who fantasizes about billions of people being wiped off the map for the sake of her post-capitalist utopia.

He is a transphobe and hates me and my people.

"My people". That's a creepy ass way to refer to anybody that happens to be trans. Exactly the kind of thinking that leads to believing it's fine for males who rape women to be imprisoned with new potential victims. Us versus them. "Us is always good". "Them is always bad". Very cult-like.

See also: "Queers for Palestine" supporting a group of people that largely includes those that actually hate them and want them dead (we know they feel this way because they literally tell us). It's actually very patronizing and patriarchal to ignore what people say and insist they really mean something else. See: That BBC documentary that translated Palestinians talking about their hatred of Jews as a hatred of Israelis. Or supporters labelling the footage of barbarism that Hamas filmed of themselves committing as nothing more than Israeli propaganda. 

people who "tolerate genocide" are absolute trash and are useless allies

"Ally" isn't a label you apply like to those who believe exactly as you do, and never say or do anything you might take issue with. "Give me everything I want and I'll award you this meaningless badge of honour". That's not what an alliance is.

Maybe protecting the rights of people like me is a small deal for you, but it's not 'random bullshit' and it's not a sign that Newsom 'isn't perfect in every way'. Not when our rights under constant threat right now.

You have the same rights as everyone else. None of which as under any sort of threat. The "rights" you want are ones that infringe on other people.

Trans genocide in the specific case of talking Newsom here.

In response to someone who assumed Clicky was referring to Palestine.

Newsom would further the genocide actively.

What does it mean for something that isn't happening at all to "get worse"?

What even is this "genocide"? Even the most militant terfs don't insist that "trans" as a concept be wiped out. They'll happily refer to trans women as trans-identified males, for instance. Even those who use the threat of suicide in an attempt to get what they want aren't actually killing themselves (because threatening suicide and feeling suicidal aren't the same thing).

Damn. Trans rights, Israel/Palestine, genocide, Nep being a big arsehole... This post has it all!

There is nothing wrong with, consensually, being sexually submissive to men. If that kink is something Sabrina Carpenter wants to play up I'm not one to judge.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/resident-evil-requiem-hands-on-impressions-previews-first-person-third-person-switchable-camera-confirmed.1215612/page-9

I hope they didn't design it for third and just zoom the camera in for first without properly considering the perspective. I'm going to assume it was the other way around though and third person will just be a bit janky.

One of them is likely going to be a bit jank. It depends which the game was designed in primarily.

That's promising then, thanks! I think jankier third person is more acceptable than janky first person personally.

To design for both perspectives would mean designing the game twice, so I very much doubt they've done that. It's far more likely that they've done what most first person games do and add the optional switch which will always be a bit janky.

This is why it happens, if it were an easy problem to solve then first person games with optional third person cameras wouldn't be janky, and they all are.

Other games that have perspecitve switches were in development for comparible times. Again, it would add /so/ much extra work it's almost certian they've not done that. If third perosn was added after, it will be a least slightly janky.


If it wasn't much work then every single first person game that offers third person wouldn't have a janky third person mode, and they all do. It would take a lot of work to design the game both ways. There's no chance they did that imo.

Which would still require the same amount of design work. It being in the option menu doesn't mean much here.

Make peace with it guys haha, it's going to be slightly jank in third person. There's absolutely no way they designed the game from the ground up for both perspectives.

Which is fine, but there's absolutely no way they did. :p

They're going to look at others games that allow the shift and see thery sell just fine, putting all the extra work to design the game around both perspectives from the ground up would seem pointless to them.

Oh sure haha, and if I'm wrong I'll be happier than if I'm right.

Based on nothing but vibes.

Which would be great, but that also wouldn't be difficult. I'm expecting far better than Village too because that game was one of the worst third perosn modes I've ever seen modern times.


No it's not, that's the reason why third person added to first person games is always so janky.

It's not an assumption... if a game isn't designed for a perspective, it will always be slighly janky. That's why third person modes in first person games (Skyrim) and first person modes in third person games (GTA) are always janky.

You would essentially need to design the gameplay twice, once for each mode.

Yep this is also how they could have done it.

Slightly janky third person for Grace because first person is default, and slightly janky first person for Leon because third is default for him.

I'm not a "bro", pay attention to people's prounouns.

And I didn't ever say it wasn't designed for third person, I said it almost certainly wasn't designed for both meaning the other will be janky.

Thanks.

It's a /much/ safer assumption, though.

No in general, it's much safer to assume they'd add it like every other dev does rather then design the gameplay twice.

Oh come on, lol. Every game that offers both is janky in one because of how much work it would be to design the gameplay from the ground up for both modes.

Of course they /could/ have done that, but it's not likely especially when people are generally more than happy with games that offer both as they are. It's a much safer assumption to make.

If I'm proven wrong though great! I'll be very happy they put all that extra effort in.

What are you missing here? You need to design the gameplay from the ground up for the perspective you're using or it will be janky, that's the entire reason why games that offer both have one that is janky.

Exactly...


I mean, they could have put lal that extra work in yes. It would be a lot of work though, and I just think it's very unlikely.


What whining?

No they haven't.


Really would not be hard, and better than doesn't mean not slightly janky.

And not one time did I say both wouldn't be viable lol. You're acting like I'm shitting on the game or something, I'm not at all.

Yes I am, because we've been over the rest and the parts I quoted there were not true.

The things you pointed out would be some big reasons yeh, people are really underestimating how much effort it would take to design a game that felt like Village in first person and RE4R in third.

It's baseless to state the fact that for a perspective to play free of jank the gameplay needs to be designed for it from the ground up.

Is it an assumption to say they didn't do that for both perspectives? Yeh, certainly.

The DLC was obviously designed from the ground up as a pure third person experience. It being set in the same levels isn't much of a factor here, the gameplay was clearly designed around third person.


Exactly.

I don't mind a bit of jank in added modes. I play GTAV in first person for example.

SoR does play way better than the optional third person for Village's main game, though, which is because they designed Rose's gameplay for the perspective.

RE8 was designed in first person though, they basically slapped on a third person view later for DLC. That mode is incredibly janky.

I fully trust them that the game will be fantastic, the fact that I'm positive third person will be a bit janky if the game was designed in first person first is in no way an indication I think the game will be anything less than incredible.

Based on Capcom's track record in recent times, I think it is also a safe assumption that the game will be very good.

I beg them to get a fucking thesaurus and learn another word for "jank"

But I was told by AI evangelicals that there was no theft involved at all with this technology.

Another episode of anti-capitalists who love state-created false scarcity.

THAT is insane.

Fire this tech into the sun.

In which Nepenthe argues that giant international capitalist corporations should be able to sue you for recreating images of their art too well. (This is the part where I post all her Lucio art.)

On one hand, "let them fight"

On the other hand, I can't help but feel so cynical that I believe this is because Disney etc. want to bankrupt AI image generating companies because they want to control the market with their own AI efforts.

That is very likely considering they are probably already using it in-house anyways.

Little do people know that they immediately swooped in to copyright the peg system that was used to hold a stack of drawings for traditional animation, making the shit more prohibitively expensive for studios than it would've been otherwise.

 How can you copyright that?

You can't copyright AI schlock. And producing AI schlock requires copyright infringement.
...
This is the case that's going to force these companies to crack these stupid things open and show the world that they're just big databases of stolen material. The stolen material may be stored in such a way that is hard to decipher, but it's there.

So it's copyright infringement to store copyrighted material without permission? These are our anti-capitalist anti-corporate freedom fighters.  

So, yes, generative AI models are databases. I know that people say they aren't, but they can't be anything else. Being able to type "Shrek" into Midjourney and have it produce pictures of Shrek means that there are pictures of Shrek already inside it. The "model" is just a way to obfuscate the data in the database. The proof of the presence of the data is in the output.

I think this dude wants knowledge to be outright illegal. Longing for the days of this like many in that thread: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AACS_encryption_key_controversy

People explained to him that it's math and he's still insistent it's not but instead a database of everything that's ever existed:

LLMs are storing data that can later be retrieved. If the specific jargon means they aren't "databases", then fine, but that distinction here is irrelevant.

You can type "Shrek" into Midjourney and it will generate pictures of Shrek. Ipso facto, it is storing pictures of Shrek. The specifics of how some LLMs store information is irrelevant here.

Even though this would defeat the purpose of the models.

They would lose with this argument. Selling images of IP is illegal. Even making fanart for free leaves you open for DMCA.

I'd like to know this as well as why other industries aren't also suing the fuck out of every AI company. Meta admitted to using millions of copyrighted books in their model, right?

has anyone sued meta for the book theft?

Holy shit at how many people in this thread want knowledge to be illegal.

yeah Midjourney need to be obliterated. To the point of: closure, public humiliation, and the destruction of their data. an example must be set and gen ai must die along side it. anything short of this will be a failure.

Make them pay for environmental damage and reparations to affected communities while maintaining eye contact with all the assholes currently building or running their own useless poison factories.

These dudes.

And this is supposed to be her actual wheelhouse of knowledge that she went to college for:

It was John Randolph Bray who established and patented the peg system of registration in 1915. For almost a century, folks working in animation production have used paper, pencils, various designs of lightboxes, and pegged drawing discs to do their craft, and within this world of registration there were several standards. In New York there were pegs by Acme (a small round hole with two thin slots on either side), Oxberry (a small center hole with wider slots on either side), Signal Corps (close to Oxberry but closer to three round holes) and Fleischer/Famous/Terrytoons (three round holes). California/Hollywood seemed to hover in the world of Acme, but Disney (which switched over to Acme 20 years ago) had paper that was also punched with two sets of holes—one for the animator and one for the Ink and Paint Department.

By the way, funny that Jason Schreier wrote the article about Veilguards downfall

[benji]

Do not put in the newspaper that Dervius is upset:

I would play this but ugh those character designs, I can't do it...

My feelings exactly. A game can be solid mechanically and still be trash because of the way it presents its female characters.

Given this game is heralded by the chuds as the patron saint of anti-wokeness, those really celebrating this success as a "screw the doubters" come across pretty skeevy.

Like this:

It's all cope brother, you know it.

Bruh.

Not to say you can't like it without being a chud, mind.

Definitely a bit of people talking past eachother.

The game is performing well on PC, and by most accounts is an accomplished action game that runs well on both console and PC. This will be a major component of its success and its disingenuous to suggest otherwise.

That said...

Those that are fans of the game completely dismissing the gross objectification of female characters in the game, or how core a part of its appeal to certain demographics that is, is equally disingenuous and feels a little like people talking about how good the plot in some creepy anime is "if you look past the T&A". It might well be true, but it doesn't make it any less gross.

There are other factors that people have mentioned. It's been marketed much better that other Sony PC ports, seems to run especially well, and isn;t suffering from any region lock or account shenanigans the likes of Helldivers II did.

TL;DR - A game can be successful both because it's a technically accomplished action title and because it's overt gooner bait. Both will have contributed to its current popularity to different degrees, and anyone who suggests it's solely one or the other is being wilfully ignorant.

[Polident]

Dropping a controversial opinion here: I do not believe guys are jacking off while playing Stellar Blade. These “gooner” accusations is the self reporting thing where these guys can’t control their perversions.

Frankly, we’re on the internet. There are more efficient ways than buying a $60 action video game and, I don’t know, letting it idle for 20…maybe 40 seconds. Tops.

These are the same people who went postal over people suggesting that maybe drag queens reading stories to preschoolers was a little crass and not appropriate.
