Just saw Indiana Jones and the Dial Of Destiny

For what it was I thought it was pretty good, It didn't bore or annoy me so it is better than Temple of Doom and Crystal Skull. It was a bit too long and I kinda miss Spielberg's direction. It could have been way worse.

The whole movie was worth it to watch Nazis get gored by a ballista
Very good of you to like the movie.

You might want to watch out for Michael, though. (Not picking on Michael, just saying)
I saw Indy 5 earlier this week. It landed as the third best film of the franchise ahead of Temple of Doom and Crystal Skull. I would also put it above the Uncharted movie (but just barely.) After Crystal Skull's trans dimensional aliens, time travel to Archimedes's time is really tame in comparison.

My brother and his wife told me they'll finally watch the 1993 Mario movie today.

I lent them my DVD a good while ago and I'm eager to know their thoughts.

The only form of media to ever make Karens cool
Gonna try to connect our two worlds. The FusionFall fan revival FusionFall Legacy was going to have Total Drama characters in it and they had actually revealed Chris McLean's design. But then Fresh TV sent them a DMC. Separate from the DMC that eventually shut down the entire project.

He was going to be in the Camp Kidney area holding auditions for the next season of the show, "Total Dram INVASION". Not sure if any other characters were gonna make it in, but it was a cool implementation of him.

AI is an, odd topic for me.



On one hand, I'm entirely against AI art, though, it's frightening how AI 'art' has managed to improve at such a rapid pace. It went from melty faces and ****ed up hands to actually beginning to start looking like, actual legit art that's getting harder and harder to tell apart from the real stuff, which is concerning.


AI voices though.... Is it morally wrong? Yeah, but it's given us some legit amazing things like "Team Fortress 2 Engineer sings Out of Touch", which is a surprising good cover of the song, or AI Sponge, which I honestly find funny at times. So it's really awkward for me to take a stance on this tbh.

I can completely understand why people wouldn't want their voices used in ways like this. But some really funny **** has come from this stuff too. Trump and Biden being salty gamers is hilarious.

I honestly don't know what to make of all of it.

Strange times, we're living in :drshrug:

The TF2 Community has thrived for years without AI.

I think there should be a limit on how AI is used tbh. The current issue is something that should be killed instantly, but for things like the Presidents (+ Ben, Kim Jong, Drake, and Steve Harvey), that’s perfectly fine. If someone asks for their voices to not be used, especially an actor, then their wishes should be granted. It shouldn’t be that hard to use their own voices to do stuff as well if they really want to capture the original source of vocal income.

either that or AI randomly dies and we all move on from issues like these

This is legit cool, and if AI was just limited to stuff like this, I'd have no problem with it, but it's never gonna be just cool stuff like this. People will always exploit it.

Like... I saw a video on YouTube that was someone who used AI to make Squidward sing Frank Sinatra's My Way. Which is really cool, especially because Roger Bumpass can't actually sing very well. But I can understand why the people's voices being copied would feel uncomfortable and find it creepy and unsettling. Especially when they make a living off of their voices. And harassing people is just wrong no matter what and online hate campaigns are no joke. So...

One of my big problems with AI alongside the stealing is that every Ai project is basically this


This 10 year old video
is so much more interesting than cheap crossover bait

How did we go from Dall-E Mini making funny meme images to this in what feels like less than a year?


The speed at which AI is advancing is concerning.
This is one of those "The future is now" moments that really kinda blows your mind.

And not always in a good way.

Feels like just last week we were making funny meme images of Steve Harvey or Jared Leto with melted faces and ****ed up hands eating pizza.


Now we're getting their actual faces eating pizza


But still ****ed up hands

I mean I agree with majority if your post, but on this point, sadly it won't happen given that Corporations don't wanna pay workers so they try to use AI.

That's a huge reason why the Writers Strike is happening. Though, fun fact, thanks to this photo, AI works can not be legally copyrighted, it's automatically public domain.

Hey there, everyone, not to pick on anyone who is popular here, BUT...

Has anyone ever felt that popularity is not really worth that all? I mean, it might feel good to be popular, but the feeling good is, well, kind of like a drug, and can make you lose your sense of things. Plus, it makes way for other people getting ignored in favor of the popular person, and, well, to me, many don't understand that being popular is not all where it is at. That said, people can be admired, and they do want to be like those they admire...

But as the saying goes, be yourself or nobody. That means everyone has their own problems in life that others do not want to have. I just don't think people realize the faults of being popular or admiring someone.

This is the main reason why I don't like AI content at this point. When you start affecting people's livelihoods then it stops being something worth supporting, and we're at the point where artists, VAs, and the like have to be on guard so that they don't have their work replicated and used without their knowledge and consent and get pushed out. I follow a few artists and I really do feel for their frustrations since it would be terrible to lose their work and passion, and it's scarily closer than it looks.

A lot of people innocently believe it'd just be done to make a silly harmless joke until your parents ask you why you called them asking for their social security number or your boss confronts you about a video of you doing some vile **** they saw. It's genuinely scary

In other news I managed to find and clear the last shrine in TotK, all without a guide.

No I'm not doing the korok seeds.

Rare FreshTV L, this would've been really cool. I love the art of him.

I may be late to the party but I finished Unicorn: Warriors Eternal today and it was mostly pretty fun with amazing animation. Though, I have a problem with how the season-ending concluded pretty much nothing and ended with a cliffhanger.
