Sparse gameplay, tied together with lots and lots of implied worldbuilding in a lore book that contains most of the story. The gameplay was okay when you got to it, but there was far too much written story locked up, instead of "show, don't tell".
Also, the game wants you to finish six tournaments before you get any sort of decent ending.
This is why large corps often still use decades old software that may be terrible by that point, but impossible to move away from.
And sometimes those large corps slowly die off because of those decisions. Technology moves so fast that you can't afford to be a dinosaur using 20 year old software.
Didn't stop me from switching to Linux for my entire workflow. Industry standard is just a phrase. It doesn't truly mean anything when viable and real alternatives exist.
With GIMP 3 and DaVinci Resolve 20 out there, this seems like a very bad idea.
Something something slips through your fingers.
Not yet, but I plan on trying it out soon.
I never really understood the hate for GIMP 2. What didn't you like about it?
Proud user of GIMP and DaVinci Resolve. These tools work great, and I really don't see a reason why I would want to switch to anything else.
Fuck Adobe.
What has ACTUALLY decimated my industry is the overvaluation and inflation of everything in the economy
The real answer, like every creative industry over the past 200+ years, is oversaturation.
Artists starve because of oversaturation. There is too much art and not enough buyers.
Musicians starve because of oversaturation. And music is now easier than ever to create. Supply is everywhere, and demand pales in comparison. I have hundreds of CC BY-SA 4.0 artists in a file that I can choose for use in my videos, because the supply is everywhere.
Video games are incredibly oversaturated. Throw a stick at Steam, and it'll land on a thousand games. There's plenty of random low-effort slop out there, but there's also a lot of passionate indie creators trying to make their mark, and failing, because the marketing is not there.
Millions of people shouting in the wind, trying to make their voices heard, and somehow become more noticed than the rest of the noise. It's a near-impossible task, and it's about 98% luck. Yet the 2% of people who actually "make it" practice survivorship bias on a daily basis, preaching that hard work and good ideas will allow you to be just like them.
It's all bullshit, of course. We don't live in a meritocracy.
Stable Diffusion does a lot already, for static pictures. I get good use out of Eleven for voice work, when I want something that isn't my own narration.
I'm really looking forward to all of these new AI features in DaVinci Resolve 20. These are actual useful features that would improve my workflow. I already made good use of the "Create Subtitles From Audio" feature to streamline subtitling.
Good AI tools are out there. They are just invisibility doing the work for people that pay attention while all of the billionaires make noise about LLMs that do almost nothing.
I compare it to CGI. The very best CGI are the effects you don't even notice. The worst CGI is when you try to employ it in every place that it's not designed for.
Highlighting the influencers who are pushing this garbage is important as part of the thumbnail, and the best way to do that is to show their faces.
So, what thumbnail do you suggest? Can you post a thumbnail with your ideal design in mind?
The point of a thumbnail is to attract viewers to your video, among the sea of millions of other videos that get posted every day. How do you propose they do that?
Getting the settings right for video is critically important, too. Scaling needs to be done with the nearest neighbor pixel method, not more modern blend methods.
Does any of this include improving the front page to actually serve content that people want? Because PeerTube has a serious problem with advertising what people want to watch on the Home and Discovery pages. PeerTube isn't going to work as a replacement for YouTube until people will be able to find new channels that they like.
Is there even an algorithm behind any of this mess, or does it just push random channels?
