Yarp.

You have the same attitude that I do. I know what I’m doing and design something in less time than it would take fighting with text prompts. We are encouraged to use AI to “generate ideas,” but that is the part of the job that I most enjoy. If I can’t come up with my own inspiration, what am I even doing? It’s a nightmare.

Your post makes me want to revisit it. I have platinum in From’s other souls games, but Sekiro had me tapping out not long after the giant drunk guy. It is beautiful, but I am terrible at playing with rhythm.

I, for one, celebrate our furry overlords.

Meant to say Gascoigne. Oops.

Bloodborne was my very first soulslike and Gascoigne took me weeks to get through. It was so frustrating and yet, I could see that there was a path to beating him. I really had to gut gud.

After it clicked, I progressed through the game steadily and even got the platinum. I went in to platinum the Dark Souls series, Elden Ring and Nightreign.

Sekiro is a different story. I also struggled with the drunkard for days. I still haven’t finished the game.

Can’t have a lemon party without old Dick!

This is the one for me. Felt like a string of QuickTime sequences and story that is dull and plodding. Just didn’t click for me at all.

+1 The Stand reference.

Scooby Snacks.

Since getting a bidet at home, away games aren’t fun at all.

And that’s why NASA has had their budget slashed.

All AI content is stolen.

Doing those shortcuts is not “making a movie.” It’s like calling masturbation sex.

You cannot shortcut art for your soul. You have to work.

I’m not talking about the end product. I’m talking about the process of creation. That is what art is for.

I’d rather someone make a shitty video by themselves or with their friends than just type some text into a computer and it spits out stolen work that is statistically likely to match the request. It’s soulless.

I’m not talking about economics. I’m talking about creating art for the sake of your own soul.

You are talking about content. That’s the disconnect.

But careful not to go apeshit.

I also prefer your dumb neighbor having diarrhea stained astroturf.

Never said anyone was taking it from me. Just concerning that someone would think that any of those things are the same as reading a book.

Again, none of those things are “enjoying a book.”

And you don’t need AI to do any of those things. You can do them now if you want.

So anything except actually enjoying reading a book.
