That’s just the model getting paid- which is good - but the pay rate isn’t the same as the one for the shoot. It’s the rate they get paid for the images to be used, something similar to royalties so to speak. It will greatly benefit a minority of popular models, and drastically reduce the job pool for new models.

The photographers are getting totally screwed though, as well as the make up artist and anyone else involved in a shoot.

I agree with you in sentiment, but unlike you, I DO believe AI can easily get your child slave work shirt to fit better on the non existent model made out of an amalgamation of all your previous photoshoots plus stolen data.

It keeps getting more and more accurate every day.

Even if it doesn’t fit great straight out of the generator, you already have a Photoshop touch up artist who will fix that and any extra fingers. It works out. H&M may have to pay some extra 20% to the Photoshop designer in India, but will spare themselves paying a photographer and a model by 100%. Plus any other people in charge of recruiting models and organizing shoots now can get their hours reduced too.

I really really hope things end up like you say they will. Nothing would make me happier than seeing these idiots hitting a wall.

Ahh, great news, fellow artists and photographers. We don’t need to waste time watermarking our work anymore

I’ve been playing for less than a year and so far all DMs I’ve interacted with do keep notes - I never imagined people would just wing a campaign! The more you know.

As a player all the “questionable calls” I’ve come across are related to game mechanics - especially when and why you need saving throws/checks. I know the DM has the final word on these, but sometimes they step into stupid territory. I’m 100% with you in that homebrewing to adapt the rules makes sense though.

As a DM, would you have any recommendations in general for players?

What are your “questionable calls” or things you see many DMs doing/not doing that can easily improve gameplay once changed?

I know OP has a point that they weren’t asking your opinion on games, but I really like your stance of demanding performance from the game devs especially on older hardware. There is a culture of "must have newest hardware to run everything maxed " that’s just dumb consumerism.

When I play it’s usually solo games, and I never had an issue with 20fps+ . If performance drops below that, I’m visually ok with 16fps, but usually at that range my system is struggling with game mechanics and that’s the deal breaker for me

I’m extremely OOTL here. Bit.ly rings a bell but I can’t tell if I interact with it or how. Guess I’ll find out when I see the ads

What a time to be alive

Thanks!

Then I’m confused - sorry for being this slow- how is this supposed to affect him or his followers?

All this is very intriguing to say the least but I’m not sure I’m following the information correctly- have these users been doxxed or is this just a temporary blow to Tate’s pockets?

Well it’s listing only one game per year and BG seems to be the winner for 2023.

I didn’t know BAFTA awarded videogames too. TIL

I’m not sure. Maybe, for a small minority of people, that’s the case. But for most… The reason they flocked there first, while there were plenty of fediverse options already, wasn’t lack of ads. It was the opposite, ads from a platform with ads that led most people to threads in the first place.

Add Periodical to the list. Data stored locally, and you can export it and transfer it to your new device in a .json file.

Ohhh didn’t know about libredirect

Never welcome news to hear studios closing down :(

Wait the IA is still going on? I’ve been getting an error whenever i tried to access it for days now

I’ve had Proton for a while, I’m satisfied, would recommend.

Previously I used to use Nord, but ever since… Uh I forgot what they did. They changed headquarters? Disclosed something they shouldn’t? Somebody here will correct me and point out what happened.

Anyway, Proton 👍
