Arc Raiders meteoric success once again proves nobody actually gives a fuck if you put gen AI in a videogame.

Stop giving this shit money you spineless fucking cowards that fold the second you want something shiny.

A good reminder of where I stand on this: I DGAF how technically good you are at traditional painting. If you use genai in ANY part of your process, you have abandoned the soul of art, abandoned the artist community and forfeit any reason I should give you an ounce of respect.

This too more effort than I expected, who knew the big challenge would be getting the PC to beep at power up? (Pull RAM, trigger an error on post did the trick.) I now have a 20+ minute ambient computer sounds recording that had better not get content ID matched.

Youtube, when I say it's ambient hard drive noises, I'm not kidding. Behold the Jank Ambient Computer Sound Generator. 90's era Cheming case in proper gaming green, Intel Atom micro ATX mobo, PATA HD and a 19" CRT to get that proper hum, all directed by an IBM Model F keyboard.

Bah, Youtube content ID matched the sound of a harddrive spinning up for 11 seconds in my VRRP standby scene to a random electronica song. First appeal got robo rejected. The audio in no way matches, but the next step involves lawyers, and a $1500 retainer so... bah.

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT
Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Sure, day before the big season four kickoff after I've validated my full streaming stack my brain goes: "Hey, wanna try and make a set of custom stinger transitions from scratch?"

Guess I'm trying to remember JS animation techniques tonight to shut my brain up.

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Hey @vrchat.com userbase, got a feature request I'd love some other eyes on: feedback.vrchat.com/feature-requ...

As noted in the description, I noticed lately I'm sounding a LOT louder to others in VRC, in many cases my voice is clipping from excess gain. The current Mic test doesn't expose this.
