It is getting tiresome. It seems the main lemmy communities are worse hiveminded than reddit.

That is the whole goal with automation right? I don’t think that is how is going to pan out. With all the extra money guys like zuckerberg are going to feed their cows with nuts and beer.

You are right in saying that all studios who can work for less money will do. That is the scary part for thousands of people working in animation and film.

Tech people doesn’t know about art, well I’m not sure, but that is irrelevant as AI are trained on existing top of the line art made by the best artistis in the world.

On the renderman subject, that is not correct. Renderman is a render engine for 3d softwares. AI doesn’t need a render engine at all as it produces images by itself. And for movies like topgun a number of different engines are used, renderman, vray, Arnold, redshift, unreal, etc.

You joke, but as a cgi animator I’m kind of worried. It is evolving so fast and has gotten many people I know out of their jobs (concept art, photography, illustration) and it seems like is just a matter of time for the techbros to perfect these tools for animation and video.

I’m really really hoping to be wrong.

So it stopped working a while ago but sadly it seems to be working?

I’m obviously not the majority but I play Fortnite and halo infinite with my kids. We haven’t bought anything but enjoyed hundreds of hours playing. There is people who like to spend and people who don’t, and at least in these two tittles there are no predatory issues as long as an adult is supervising.

And firefight!

Are you trolling? Korea has a 97% literacy rate and is in the top 20 of best educated countries in the world.

Not as much as if there was no rental business. It was bad for them, Nintendo even tried to stop blockbuster from renting their games. They weren’t designing games thinking about the rentals.

Game developers didn’t profit from rents.

Ha! I guess I already qualify as a boomer. I’m 43 and been a gamer since the commodore days. I play everything that comes my way if time permits, from indies like islanders for a relaxing me time, to mega AAA F2P monsters like Fortnite to have a laugh with my sons.

I share my steam linrary with my two kids. Gave them 200+ games. They still play Fortnite and Roblox because that is what their friends play. When I was young the biggest games were single player and you shared stories with your friends. Now you play with them online.

I understand the sentiment but big free games with storefronts aren’t pay to win anymore.

Fortnite, roblox, apex, cod and rocket league are some examples.

Great stuff. Thank you!

Thank you!

I have never gone into RSS I’ll look into it. Thanks!

I’ll look into it. Never have done anything like that.

Is a mastodon bot too much to ask? I don’t use reddit or twitter anymore.

I think it was a joke about nice, the french city.

Deadpool movies are on Disney plus. So I guess that is not the reason anymore.
