OPERATION MAX REVIVE Rebuild the board's userbase and activity through simple, but effective methods 1. Post across the entire board Activity creates activity. Use threads you like, make new ones if topics don't exist. Easy examples are Drawthreads and Friday Night threads, go request or draw something right now. 2. Recruit and recover lost or potential anons Use this site's OC and features to entice anons if necessary when recruiting, just inform that we are alive. Here's some sites and links with at least some confirmed anons that can be recruited again: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/8chotwheels https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SSAVCH https://steamcommunity.com/groups/video_games https://steamcommunity.com/groups/8chmohun https://steamcommunity.com/groups/8chan_monster https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GoodLuckEbolaChan https://steamcommunity.com/search/groups/#text=8ch.net https://steamcommunity.com/search/groups/#text=8chan Other sites that might yield fruitful results and have anons (art sites use an account so you can see 18+ content): https://www.deviantart.com/search?q=Vivian+James https://www.newgrounds.com/search/summary?suitabilities=etm&terms=Vivian%20James https://twitter.com/search?q=Vivian%20James&src=typed_query&f=image https://rpgcodex.net/ https://old.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/ Somewhere on Telegram Just searching up GG or 8chan-related terms on certain places/sites can get you possible results. 3. Make your own OC/Memes/Content Doesn't matter what it is even if its just simple edits or full-on drawings or webms, just make it and have fun. Ask in thread for software recs if necessary. 4. Encourage or create fun events, activities, projects, etc.
[Expand Post]Think things like 8chanmania, weekly streams, re-translation projects, demo days, or zzz's gaming magazine for example. If you want to do something, try making or reviving it, it can't hurt and these things are great for the board. 5. Use other boards All it takes for a board to grow is at least 2 dedicated anons using it. Don't be afraid to make a post, check places periodically, shill, or what have you. Don't force discussions to boards, just encourage the usage of them. 2.

Class-Action Lawsuit Claims Epic Games Knowingly Made Fortnite "Very, Very Addictive" >Epic Games is facing a class-action lawsuit from parents who claim that the team knowingly developed Fortnite to be highly addictive. >Concern over the game's level of addiction have been a hot topic of conversation for a good few years now. The lawsuit was first opened up back in 2019, with lawyers claiming that Epic Games hired psychologists to assist in making the title as addictive as possible and provided players with no warnings of these effects. >The case has been under review ever since and has now been deemed worthy of approval. Claims of the game's "very, very addictive" design come from two parents who have become increasingly concerned about the online shooter's effect on their children - one of whom has reportedly racked up 7,700 hours in the game over the past two years. >This being the case, an Epic Games spokesperson, Natalie Munoz, has stated that the company "plans to fight this in court," citing its efforts that have made to offer "industry-leading" parental controls and screen time reports in the past. While the claims made against the studio blame the game's design for the players' lack of sleep and nutrition amongst other things, Munoz has stated that the "the case is meritless" and Epic apparently has the information to prove it. >The official starting date for the case is yet to be set, but we imagine that the studio will want to get the matter solved sooner rather than later. https://archive.vn/1Yiv0 The Canadian anti-Fornite class action lawsuit moving forward.

Diablo IV Lilith burger turns Burger King into Burger Queen in Japan for a limited time <Do you dare to take a bite out of the queen of hell? >It’s not long to go now before fans of the Diablo video game series get to play the long-awaited fourth instalment when it’s due to be released on 6 June 2023. >For some, that date still seems painfully far off, but Burger King Japan is here to help us with the wait by serving up an exciting appetiser called the Lilith Spicy Tomato Double Whopper with Cheese. >This new burger is being produced in collaboration with Activision Blizzard Japan, the makers of the video game series, and it marks the third collaborative release, with Lilith joining a couple of other hellish burgers currently on the menu. >The Lilith burger is said to be “inspired by the ‘anger’ of Lilith, who descended to Sanctuary after a long exile following a blood ritual“. The scene is set with two beef patties grilled directly over an open flame, two slices of rich cheddar cheese, two slices of gouda and a newly developed “tomato hot sauce” made with chilli peppers and garlic. >Countering the more decadent side of the burger is fresh lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles, sandwiched inside a toasted sesame seed bun. >You can get a taste of Lilith’s anger for 1,420 yen (US$10.37), or as part of a set, with fries and a drink, for 1,720 yen. >Also on the menu is the Butcher Double Meat BBQ Cheese Burger, which debuted in November to mark the June 2022 release of the Diablo Immortal video game. This is an equally spicy beast, featuring a huge chicken breast and spicy smoked garlic flakes. >On the menu at 1,390 yen, or as part of a set for 1,690 yen The Diablo Garlic Double Cheeseburger previously debuted in September to celebrate Diablo Immortal before making a return to Burger King in November. >This one contains smoked spicy garlic flakes, a special spicy sauce, and four slices of rich cheddar cheese. >Also priced at 1,390 yen, or as part of a set for 1,690 yen Customers who purchase any of these burgers will receive an original Lilith sticker, to commemorate their taste buds’ journey into the fiery depths of hell. >The Butcher Double Meat BBQ Cheeseburger and the Diablo Garlic Double Cheeseburger have been on the menu since 18 November, but the Lilith Spicy Tomato Double Whopper Cheese will be making its grand debut at Burger King stores around the country (excluding the Tokyo Racecourse and Tsugaike Yukino Hiroba branches) in limited quantities from 16 December. https://archive.vn/b4p5u

IMDb Allows Industry Professionals To Remove Birthdates & Birth Names From Its Site In Major Win For SAG-AFTRA & GLAAD >UPDATED with IMDb statememt: In a major victory for SAG-AFTRA and GLAAD, IMDb has initiated a new policy that will allow industry professionals to remove their dates of birth, birth names and other demographic information from its IMDb and IMDbPro sites. >SAG-AFTRA long had maintained that publishing actors’ ages without their permission fuels ageism, while GLAAD has argued that publishing transgender persons’ birth names without permission is an invasion of privacy that can put them at risk of discrimination. >IMDb said is a statement today: “As part of the active and ongoing consultation IMDbPro established with organizations specializing in anti-bias, bullying prevention, and diversity, equity, and inclusion, IMDbPro collaborated with these thought leaders to develop a series of significant product and policy updates to meet the unique needs of their communities and entertainment fans.” >Under IMDb’s the new policy in an agreement worked out with SAG-AFTRA and GLAAD entertainment industry professionals now can self-submit and/or verify their age/birth year, birth name, alternate names and other demographic information. >They also can choose whether to display that data on the site.“I’m so pleased that IMDb worked closely with us to understand and support the needs of SAG-AFTRA members and all entertainment industry professionals,” said SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher. >It is the dawn of a new, more collaborative relationship with IMDb and SAG-AFTRA members. Now, a performer can claim their page and manage their demographic data on their IMDbPro and IMDb pages for free. >This means professionals can choose how they want to represent themselves to fans and industry decision-makers. And it will make it easier for casting directors, producers, and others to discover and hire talent from all backgrounds for their project. >Bravo IMDb, for your inclusive and honorable approach. May every company follow your lead.” SAG-AFTRA had sponsored a bill in the California Legislature that in 2017 required entertainment sites such as IMDb to remove or not post an actor’s age or birthday upon request. Signed into law by Gov. >Jerry Brown, the law was struck down as “clearly unconstitutional” by a federal judge in a decision that was later upheld on appeal. >IMDb, however, has now agreed to give the union what it had been asking for all along – the ability of performers to remove their ages from IMDb and IMDbPro at no cost. >In a message to her members, Drescher noted: “Scores of people helped bring this to fruition and I want to recognize the many SAG-AFTRA committee members and staff who worked on this over many years. >Their efforts helped bring us to where we are today. I think you’ll agree that this is a major step forward in championing diversity and providing many more opportunities for talent from all backgrounds to be discovered and hired by entertainment industry decision-makers. >I am so grateful to all of the leaders at IMDb for their inclusive and honorable approach and their willingness to collaborate with SAG-AFTRA and so many others in the industry. >I know that these enhancements will prove beneficial to our membership and support the IMDb mission to be the most accurate and complete source of entertainment information.” >Nick Adams, VP of the GLAAD Media Institute, said: GLAAD knows that it’s crucial for LGBTQ professionals working in entertainment to authentically represent themselves, and the product and policy advancements IMDb is announcing today illustrate their commitment to supporting the entertainment industry’s evolution towards greater inclusion. >We are proud to have worked closely with IMDb on these important updates. In a statement, Col Needham, founder and CEO of IMDb, said: “The significant updates we are announcing today reflect our continuing commitment to being the most accurate and comprehensive source of information about movies, TV shows, talent, and entertainment industry professionals. >As trusted sources for entertainment fans and industry decision-makers to discover talent from all backgrounds, IMDb and IMDbPro are uniquely positioned to help support and accelerate progress towards a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive entertainment industry. >We are profoundly grateful to GLAAD, SAG-AFTRA, and other leading organizations for collaborating with us to support their communities and champion more inclusive discovery and hiring throughout the entertainment industry. >By working closely with these groups, listening to our customers, and advancing our products and policies to empower entertainment industry professionals to self-identify and verify information about themselves and their careers – with the aim of helping industry decision-makers discover and hire them – we believe we are best supporting all IMDb customers and the entertainment industry overall.” https://archive.ph/0Nvfx
China has been blocking Hollywood films for years, but ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ could be a huge boost to the Communist Party >How James Cameron’s latest blockbuster film fares in one of the world’s most restricted movie markets could determine whether Hollywood’s roller-coaster 2022 closes with a bang or a whimper. >But it could also help mend fences between China’s government and its citizens who recently protested the country’s zero-COVID lockdown policies. >Avatar: The Way of Water will hit theaters on Dec. 16, 13 years after the release of the original that went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time. >To say the latest movie faces high expectations would be an understatement. The film’s huge budget means it will likely have to be one of the highest-grossing movies ever to recoup its costs, director James Cameron said in a recent interview with GQ. >The likelihood of Avatar: The Way of Water, from Disney, becoming a box office smash was boosted last month after the film received a coveted release in China, the world’s second-largest film market behind the U.S. It was a huge victory for the film’s studio, Disney, that could help its chances of becoming a financial success. >The overseas release of the original Avatar in 2009 and rereleased versions accounted for $2.13 billion of its $2.9 billion in total gross. Around $265 million of that came from China, where the film industry has grown quickly in the more than a decade since. >On Wednesday, Cameron got more good news when China’s government said it would ease up COVID restrictions. Though many of the details are still unknown, such as the timing, it’s likely welcome news to fans of the original and, possibly, to protesters, too. >Amid waves of COVID-induced lockdowns in China, film fans have increasingly clamored for greater “cinema freedom.” Protesters have shared the rallying cry, “I wanna see a movie!,” across Chinese social media, as part of their effort to return to normal life. >The sequel has a lot riding on its shoulders, and a lot of it comes down to its cost to make. Avatar: The Way of Water’s production budget alone reportedly stands at $250 million. >But with marketing and other expenses, the film’s price tag may be more than $350 million, according to the Hollywood Reporter, which would place it among the most expensive films ever. >Even Cameron, who has ample experience helming expensive big-budget flicks from Terminator 2 to Titanic, is nervous about how much the film must make to avoid a loss, calling the film the “worst business case in movie history” during his recent GQ interview. >For Avatar: The Way of Water to turn a profit, it would have to be “the third or fourth highest-grossing film in history,” he said. “That’s your threshold. That’s your breakeven.” >Cameron refused to discuss reports of how much the movie had cost, saying only that it had been expensive. But to become the third or fourth highest-grossing film of all time, the Avatar sequel would need to make more than 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which raked in $2.07 billion worldwide. >If it doesn’t, two of the film’s three planned sequels will likely be canned, and the movie industry’s uneven rebound from the pandemic in 2022 will end on a low note. >Theater owners have been waiting for their lobbies to be packed with people and bustling with activity, and that’s what a movie like Avatar: The Way of Water can do,” Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore, told Fortune. “The stakes are really high.” >He described cinema’s 2022 as a “breakneck roller-coaster ride” that was atypical for the industry. After high-profile films including The Batman and Top Gun: Maverick dominated the box office with big sales earlier in the year, interest in more recent films has been relatively subdued, according to Dergarabedian. >So the release of the latest Avatar, which took over three years to shoot and has been subject to repeated delays since Cameron originally envisioned a 2014 release, comes with very high hopes attached to it as 2022 closes out. >Since [August], other than Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, we’ve really had a hard time getting a footing with a big blockbuster to build a huge box office,” Dergarabedian said, adding that the weekend of Dec. 3 brought in only $53 million in North American box office receipts for all films. >It looks like Avatar: The Way of Water will bring in hopefully more than that in a single day, which is good news for theaters both domestically and internationally,” he said. >China’s film market raced ahead of most other countries for large parts of the pandemic, as its theaters stayed open while other countries went into lockdown. >China even briefly overtook the U.S. as the world’s biggest box office in 2020. As its domestic film industry has grown, China has limited the number of U.S.-made films or U.S. >coproductions allowed in the country. Only 29 received a Chinese release this calendar year compared with 73 in 2018, according to Comscore. >In recent years, China’s government has become bolder in justifying why it bans foreign-made films. For example, China has blocked the last seven movies in the superhero Marvel series for reasons ranging from portraying LGBTQ relationships onscreen to depicting an international newspaper known for opposing the Chinese Communist Party. >Many foreign-made blockbusters have even been denied a release for political reasons. Top Gun: Maverick, Tom Cruise’s high-flying 2022 blockbuster that smashed Memorial Day records in May, has yet to get a China release and lost a Chinese investor ostensibly because of the film’s pro–U.S. >military messaging and for showing a Taiwanese flag (it had been removed from the film’s earlier trailers). Lately, Western filmmakers have largely given up on China and are less willing to bow to China’s content censorship rules. >But for Avatar: The Way of Water, ignoring China is not an option considering how much is riding on the film’s success. View this interactive chart on Fortune.com >If Avatar: The Way of Water had not gotten a release in China, that would really not be a good thing for the movie,” Dergarabedian said, adding that the country’s huge number of IMAX theaters and 3D cinemas is another important reason the Avatar sequel could succeed in China. >For Avatar, China is a key, key market, and it’s really because of the profile of the film,” he said.

It was either last year or the year before that, where a lot of shit went down because the EU and the US wanted to start drilling in the middle of the Aegean for oil and the turks started doing their gay "but muh waters" schtick and that fucking zombie nigger in the white house had to stand up and tell them to fuck off with their ships lest they get a missile in the face. Roaches have also encroched on the african coastal territories of the Mediterranean and it won't be the last time something like that happens. Shit happens over at Italy as well, where the fags poach away from local italian fishery zones very often, similar to how the slinky japanese and the faggot australians did back in the 60s in the middle of the Pacific. Roaches fuck with everyone, no exceptions. Even with their allies. And once Greece falls due to retardation, they'll move to us next. And I have enough dealing with poverty as it is. >>752033 Calm down there Tomino. >>259194 Much more common in Japan than you think. They have entire cafes and restaurants that exist purely for game promotions. No joke. Some are opened by the company, like the Tales cafe or the Kirby cafe but others change the theme according to who's paying for the promotion. >>259203 It's only appropriate after China stole Skynet.
>>259205 I guess enough people noticed. Oh well. >>259206 >Much more common in Japan than you think. Oh I know, but it's usually Japan specific content.
>>259207 True, though I've noticed that once something hits a bit of a critical mass in the US, they like to import it, just like those super old Spongebob commercials for McD that even RWJ used to highlight. I don't remember if old /jp/ highlighted western themed promotions back in the day, sadly. Does Burger King have any stake in Diablo 4, as a sponsor or anything? Because then it would make sense for the JP branch to promote that due to the food promo crossovers they like to do over there.

>>259212 >just hit it a bunch of times and it opens up Oh yeah. Maybe I did do that. I forget.
>>259213 Probably, since Legion's japanese name is that Granfalloon and that's how it was in the SotN localization? I think only one GBA game had two Legion bosses and the only played the usual while the other opened and closed up instead of crumbling until the core was revealed.

At the same time, unlike 8moe, Twatter moderation doesn't have a skeleton crew and for all his peacocking about "exposing" the algorithm censorship, Musk doesn't seem intent on cleaning it up to only do things like detect pedos.
But of course musk didn't ban the "loli" "female child" chinese tags,that would be bad for him

Race doesn't matter as much as "are you like us?" Unfortunately eventually every tribe becomes too large and forms a city or becomes multiple loose tribes, which is easy to wipe out these days. >>259189 Working a coddled service industry job is also addicting, so is the statistic of 75% of 8-17 year olds wanting to be a jewtuber as a primary job, so is the convenience of half-cooked meals full of sodium and other preservatives, so is impulse buying anything online thanks to e-commerce and credit cards. >>259206 I remember the kirby cafe bgm mix being recommended to me on jewtube.

>>259240 Didn't Bolsonaro restore private gun ownership, too?

>>259237 I don't think fortnite used loot boxes for a long time, they just have a battle pass to make you invested in playing it as your sole game, and a rotating direct purchase shop. It's mostly mobileshit (and mostly asian) games and valve games that still have gacha and loot boxes of any relevance, the rest of the industry dropped it over gambling relationships that could lead to lawsuits or laws being passed in burgerland (which don't apply to foreign games :^) ). Oh, and what's more atrocious is that fortnite also has time limited events that are gone forever, which is where the fear of missing out acts in concert with the battle pass incentive, which also now expires if you don't finish it. Many battle passes just add it to a f2p drop pool eventually or remove a time limit from it, like deep rock galactic or halo infinite. It may be shit taste, but some people don't want a videogame, they just want an online game to spend time with their friends, and releasing new content 4free with the option to pay is how kids get suckered in.

They also have released almost every single politician that was caught in the car wash corruption scandal, the same on the Lula was arrested for. And finally, they've lined up only communists as ministers, including a professor that said he was a fan of soviet russia's economy as the minister of economy.

>>259245 If he'd won, the economy would continue recovering naturally as it is right now, and we wouldn't have to worry as much with inflation since government was reducing costs. Violence would keep lowering thanks to the policies that were enacted under Bolsonaro, but now things will reverse completely, especially since many criminal organizations support Lula. We'd have more of the same, except slowly getting better. If nothing happens and Lula and his scourge get what they want, we're going to have 6 months or a year of the same, then crippling inflation sets in. Lula is also planning to financially help every single communist shithole in south america with Brazil's money. The worst that can happen is the army intervenes, USA and Europe fuck themselves into oblivion by sanctioning Brazil and losing our food exports, meanwhile Russia and China support us. This is getting more probable with time since there are a lot of videos of army generals handing secret notes do Bolsonaro or outright saying in his face with video cameras on them "I'm on your side, just give me the orders" and a weird Russian state plane that landed without any notice on Brasilia recently. Or nothing will fucking happen, feijoada forever. VIDEO GAMES

I don't believe in that, corporativism have infused to deep, even if he stayed the pressure would easily become too big for him to support. if corporations were on our side then things would be different even with Lula as a president,even with him as president globoho infiltrated extremely deep,he didn't do and couldn't do anything to stop it.

>>752147 Anon, majority of today's so-called "relationship advice" are lies and myths megaphoned by angry jealous women who are afraid that someone more appealing than them is going to come along and steal their spouse (Which is exactly what happens majority of the time). ACTUAL age-old relationship advice, from people who had successful relationships, boils down to the following: >Don't attempt to makeover or change the other person >Make a honest effort to engage and participate in the other's interests/hobbies >Have a healthy sexual relationship That's it. All this hogwash of having "similarities" that today's media pushes is just a pack of lies. It doesn't matter one iota that the girl I'm dating has as much interest in anime and 1920's scifi as myself if I can't stand her personality. She may make a great friend, that I can spend no more than an hour a week seeing, but that doesn't make her the kind of girl that I want to spend the rest of my life with. If fact, that's the entire point of dating, to see if two people are capable of meshing together. If it doesn't work, it's not necessarily the fault of either individual, it's just that they're not compatible with each other for a long term relationship. And, in addition to that, it's going to be extremely rare for couples to find that they're 100% compatible with each other. However, the goal is to find the kind of person that, despite all the faults that I find with them, they're the kind of person that I want to be with, and gives me a reason to better myself so that I can remain with them. In addition, if someone is indeed unique and has abilities/assets that other people don't have, don't try to hide them. In fact, use them to advantage to get ahead as that's your bait for catching a spouse. Now, a lot of people try to construe that to have a sexual meaning, however I'll refer to back to the previous point about the purpose of dating (How interested are you in remaining with a nymphomaniac, your mileage may vary), but I'll also mention that it may be that your advertising yourself incorrectly. The way you look, talk, and act are all advertising snippets of who your are. If you are a clean person who cares about other people, I would never be able to tell that if you dressed like you just rolled out of bed and swear like a sailor. To put it another way, would you date you if given the chance?
>>259240 thank you anon, sounds like a lot of shit speaking of, we need a portuguese/BR board
>>259256 >To put it another way, would you date you if given the chance? No, but I reject people based on that premise all the time. If someone is retarded enough to want to date me I'm disgusted by them. Especially women. You make them laugh and suddenly you're like god to them. At least with men they just want to be with you because faggots are almost universally detestable people, but even then they only want to be with you because gay men are uniquely vile and filled with disease.

Microsoft Exec Says Xbox's Activision Deal Is Fair Because PlayStation Has Way More Exclusives >Microsoft president and vice chairman Brad Smith has said Xbox's acquisition of Activision Blizzard is fair because PlayStation has significantly more exclusive games. >As reported by Bloomberg, Smith said during an annual shareholders meeting that Microsoft would present Sony's dominant position in the market as one reason for why its $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard should go through. >The company will defend its colossal deal in court after The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced earlier in December that it would seek to block it. >The FTC’s case is really based on a market that they’ve identified that they say has two companies and two products, Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox," Smith said. If you look at the global market, Sony has 70% of that market, and we have 30%. >So the first thing a judge is going to have to decide is whether the FTC lawsuit is a case that will promote competition or is it really instead of case that will protect the largest competitor from competition." >Smith added that PlayStation has 286 exclusive games while Xbox only has 59. "So the administrative law judge is going to have to decide whether going from 59 to 60 is such a danger to competition that he should stop this from moving forward." >The FTC, which announced its intentions to block the acquisition on December 8, said at the time that Xbox would "gain control of top video game franchises" and therefore "harm competition in high-performance gaming consoles and subscriptions services by denying or degrading rivals’ access to its popular content." >The FTC isn't the only government body raising concern of the deal either, as both the European Commission and the UK's Competitions and Market Authority have launched investigations. https://archive.vn/6zagQ

>>259218 >And what's to stop them from abusing other hashtags? The fact that masses of normalfags already use those tags for mundane things unrelated to pedophilia makes them poor tools for pedos to use to find pedoniggery. The loli and lolicon tags were already sparsely used at all by lolicons themselves, an already niche group, because loli was always banned on Twitter. Let me ask you this. This site has global wordfilters for certain common pedo terms that set off fedbot crawlers to flag the site, and I'd assume pedobot crawlers to flag the site for pedos trying to find pedo sites. What's to stop the pedos from continuously changing to fresher terminology, resulting in an ever increasing wordfilter list that becomes increasingly inconvenient to anons. Regular anons already get regularly tripped up by such filters at Democrat Activism, and LoIita.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a screencap explaining why pedos hate loli because sane people can differentiate 2D from 3D and thus don't hate lolicons as much as pedos, and how pedos try to spread "loli = pedo" to drag lolicons down to their level. Anyone have it? There's this really annoying kiddy diddler on another site that's doing exactly this and I want to shut him up.

Unless it's going to be some niche anime I can stream for free over some shady pop-up filled site, and even then, I rarely watch those. Made in Abyss and Interspecies Reviewers are the only new anime I've seen in years. I may check out Urusei Yatsura unless they completely fucked it up. Not that I've seen the older anime adaptations or read the manga to compare it to.

>>259256 >To put it another way, would you date you if given the chance? Yes. That's all I want. But your premise is false because it assumes men and women want the same thing. They do not. For example, men care much more about their partner sleeping around. Women say they care about that, but they care about it in the opposite way that they admit. Women want dudes who fuck a lot of chicks, and don't want dudes who don't. Men obviously do not want women that sleep around. Women also lie about being less shallow than men, when stats repeatedly show that they rate 80% of men as hideous, undatable goblins, while men rate women on a shallow bell curve, with 5/10 being the average, and very few being either 1s or 10s. These factors and others result in women all wanting to fuck the same few chad thundercocks, while men just want any woman that doesn't cheat on him. And in reality, he'll probably have to settle, if he even can, because women sleep around so much and justify it by saying that men do too, because the only men they want are the ones that sleep around, and they ignore all the men that can't get even one woman, let alone more than one. I would definitely date a female version of myself. A female version of myself would not date me, because she'd be female and thus a shallow, social-climbing, hypergamous bitch. Then after getting bored of Chad Thundercock, she'd start complaining about how he is still fucking all the women he was fucking before she came along. Stop pretending men and women want the same things or operate on an even playing field.

Details have been sparse around the live-action adaptation; Legendary Entertainment bought the film rights for the series back in 2018 and is reportedly cooperating with Toho on the movie. >Netflix to produce live-action City Hunter film https://nicchiban.nichegamer.com/netflix-live-action-city-hunter-film/ https://archive.vn/JpB7Q <Netflix is set to produce a live-action film adaptation of the series City Hunter according to Famitsu. The news comes as the franchise has experienced a resurgence in popularity with a newfound appreciation by Japanese and international fans for retro anime and a new animated film in the works. <Now before you breakout the torches and pitchforks, the film appears to be done in Japanese, with Japanese actors and crew. This isn’t a hastily made western adaptation but possibly a more authentic experience we’ve otherwise rarely seen on the platform. >forgetting the awful live action FMA trilogy that was also done with Japanese actors and crew >Netflix also has the rights to the live action Gundam movie For the love of god, make it stop.

>>259338 The problem with anime to live action is you can't condense even just dozens of episodes into a 2 hour coherent movie perfectly. So even when Japan tries, it still doesn't work out great. It doesn't help they don't have the budget hollywood does. Something like FMA is also a huge problem to adapt because it's not in Japan with Japanese characters. It's a not germany with chinese & middle eastern characters playing HUGE roles in the plot. That's already gonna be completely impossible for Japan to coordinate.
>>259340 It's likely there are chinese and middle eastern actors in japan, but they'd probably be samefacey like american voice actor dubs since the selection thins out.

The point of this chart is to inform the Japanese on what the good games that the West has actually produced over the past few decades are rather than let companies tell them that Westerners "like" Ass Creed, Life is Tumblr, and CoD, and to make their games "like that". If you don't know who to send it to, post it on Japanese vidya discussion boards you know of, tag it to Nip e-celebs your enjoy, and/or inform Japanese creators who you think listen to their fans.

Just a nice skin-tight latex suit that highlights all the curvature of the body, while also not showing the features directly. There's also the fact that it makes the body/skin have a very cartoonish sleek coloration via mono color shading. Again, probably picked up from being attracted to cartoon girls. Now... if there's an active component to the fetish, it would definitely be vacuum sealing. Still not something I'm super into, but it gets my attention.

>>259390 >muh poll from ANN or whatever that definitely doesn't filter trannies is totally legitimate and women are so cool I bet you believe Pornhub data about female preferences too. There are no women on the Internet.
>>259392 Women love a lot of dark and fucked up shit. There's a reason why they like True Crime dramas and 50 Shades of Abuse and shit like that. This isn't exactly esoteric knowledge here.

>>259390 >Female anime fans also really like Redo of Healer Female author as well. Hell, a lot of revengance stories have female authors as well, like with Shield Hero as the biggest example.
>>259238 >convicted commie. I had no idea who the current president of Huezil was so I look it up and it's literally called the ///Workers Party\\\ so this Lula fella being a commie wouldn't surprise me in the slightest especially since former president Dilma Rousseff (The woman so corrupt they actually threw her ass in jail which is saying a lot for Huezillian standards) was also a member of that party. Bolsonaro wasn't perfect sure, not by a long shot but he was an improvement to the former PM or any anti 2A commie for that matter. How the fuck have Huezillians not learned their lesson? Unless they did and the CCP helped Lula get a foothold. >>259387 Typically I just assume green eye's = Italian or some Mesopotamian Arab or Kurdish ethnicity but she's mostly green all over and has red in her eye's too so the best way to make an educated guess on her ethnicity would be to make a list of various races and nationalities where her hairline is common and compare. >>259336 I believe it, 4Jannies B&'d me for posting Clownpiece a few times meaning not only do they hate Loli but they hate America and Greece too >>259206 >Funny then how they quadruple down on doing shit that causes them to have more fefugees and create internal pressure to the point of sending them back to the rest of Europe via Greece then. Please name an actually example, up until these past few decades Turkey's national policy was damn near isolationist as you can get for technically being the cross road between Europe and Asia anyway. Last I checked the Turk Roaches pleaded with then President W Bush to not go stir shit up in Iraq (again) which we obviously didn't listen. >Yes, even those. It was either last year or the year before that, where a lot of shit went down because the EU and the US wanted to start drilling in the middle of the Aegean for oil and the turks started doing their gay "but muh waters" schtick Well my mindset is if it's out in international waters and you don't build a drill over it first or at the very least have a fleet of boats sitting over those pockets of oil like hens then you don't deserve said oil or natural gas. >Roaches have also encroched on the african coastal territories of the Mediterranean and it won't be the last time something like that happens Now that's something I have a lot of mixed feelings about, if the Turks don't recolonize Libya than France and Saudi Arabia most certainly will take it for themselves, in everything but name of course but France is technically still an empire though it's one that's faltering. And if it's neither the Fagguettes or the Saudi's then the Chinks would be setting up shop there and whipping the locals for all their oil and lithium to then ship back to the mainland. So in other words Libya is fucked regardless of who steps in. In an ideal world our Sweet Prince Gaddafi would still be alive and achieve his goal of sticking it to (((Central Banking))) with his gold backed Libyan Dinars. But yeah Turkistan is definitely a wild card in the N.A.T.O. and a very self serving country to say the least for better or worse but at least they're honest while everyone else is full of shit with their whole "muh global community" nonsense that only soy chuggers buy into. Hell I say this as someone who does believe a Kurdistan should exist to some extent but that's a whole different conversation and Turds especially the commie ones do plenty of shit that frustrates me too sometimes.
>>259395 Wait the author of Shield Hero is female? That surprised me, I understand the basic premise of it more or less even though I haven't watched it yet.

EA Will Be Shutting Online Services For Three More Games In 2023 >Not every game is going to have lengthy online support. We see games all the time lose their services online. Companies can’t keep the servers going forever, and they need to make room for newer video game releases. >Still, seeing these titles get killed off is never fun for the games you enjoy playing the most. Today, we’re finding out about three more video game titles that will be killed off in terms of their online service support early next year. >The three video game titles with online support days numbered are three Medal of Honor games. That title franchise might not ring much of a bell for some of you. >It’s a franchise that hasn’t been well received lately and has been dormant for the past several years. Regardless, your time is coming to an end for those who enjoyed the past few Medal of Honor games and stuck online to play matches. >Medal of Honor, Medal of Honor: Airborne, and Medal of Honor: Warfighter are all coming to a close in February of this coming year. >Those three games are definitely older now. They were released back on the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 platforms. But EA has taken to their website and alerted fans that those three titles will suddenly shut down on February 16, 2023. >That’s early next year, and the IP has been looking grim. EA has to make some big changes if they want to compete against the likes of Call of Duty. While Call of Duty has thrived, we can’t say the same for EA’s Medal of Honor and Battlefield franchises. >Recently, the developers from Battlefield’s latest installment, Battlefield 2042, have found that the game reached a level where the developers are more satisfied with the gameplay experience. >In fact, they also unveiled a season five is coming in 2023, which would spark the second year of Battlefield 2042. The developer hopes players will give this game another chance after its rocky launch. >Meanwhile, the Medal of Honor franchise hasn’t seen a new mainline release since 2012’s Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Although it’s worth pointing out that we did receive a VR title in 2020 called Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. >It should be interesting to see as we move into 2023 and the possibility of Call of Duty becoming a Microsoft exclusive down the road if Medal of Honor gets a reboot, but only time will tell for now. If you want a rundown of what games EA will be shutting down in the future, then you can monitor their website https://archive.ph/zDG1B

Microsoft Turned Down Opportunity To Develop Marvel Games For Xbox >There’s no doubt that the 2018 Spider-Man video game for the PlayStation 4 was one of SONY’s most popular licensed exclusive games for the platform. >Often considered one of if not the best Spider-Man video game ever made (next to the 2004 Spider-Man 2 video game), selling around 20 Million units worldwide. >But what if I were to tell you that this game may not have happened had things played out differently. >Had Marvel not partnered with SONY to produce Marvel themed video games, but instead partnered with Microsoft to make games for the Xbox platform. Well apparently this actually almost happened. >According to an excerpt from the book The Ultimate History of Video Games Vol. 2 by Seven L. Kent, Marvel Games President, Jay Ong, went into detail about how this came about. >In 2014 Activision, the then holder of the Spider-Man video game license, released a tie-in game to The Amazing Spider-Man 2. >Marvel was apparently unhappy with the quality of the product and decided to pull the plug on the licensing deal. After saying he wanted to find the IP a “better home” Activision replied “good luck finding your unicorn“. >One then decided to have meetings with both Microsoft and SONY about a potential licensing deal. It is somewhat odd that he went to the console manufacturers as opposed to a big 3rd party studio. >approached Microsoft first, saying “We don’t have any big console deals with anyone right now, what would you like to do?“. >But Microsoft said that they wanted to focus on their own IPs for the time. During this time Microsoft was trying to turn their business around after the poor launch of the Xbox One in 2013. Phil Spencer had just taken over as head of Xbox and wanted to have the company focus on new and original games. >Ong then approached SONY and they agreed, insisting that then 3rd party studio Insomniac Games develop it. And the rest is history. >So imagine if Microsoft had agreed. You’d be swinging across New York City and fighting bad guys on the same console as Halo, Gears of War, Forza and Killer Instinct. https://archive.ph/wlsIN

>>259407 >Boys in the movie club aren’t drawn to be jokes >Tomoko talking to a boy and even subtly flirting with him If the manga ditch the lesbian shit and give Tomoko a boyfriend this late into the manga it gives credence to the theory the creator trying to salvage the manga by appealing to original fans or the publisher wants Watamote to appeal more to Nagatoro fans. I’m hoping if Tomoko gets a boyfriend or plays out like Nagatoro in reverse. A boy that bullies the lesbian outta Tomoko.
>>259407 Watamote is the only manga that I've completely dropped. I hate how invested I was in that stupid goblin's story. >>259412 Watamote only became popular in the East after they gave Tomoko a harem, if you look Pixiv shit for the series 9 out of 10 pictures has the other autistic girls in it. I guess they tried to pander too much to the yurifags and the yurifags got tired of it at some point since there's honestly very little redeeming qualities for the series compared to other yuri mangas so they've gotta do a 180 before it's too late. I'm fully convinced that Nagatoro broke manga artists who draw romances that go nowhere.
>>259404 We still have more faggots that comes here. Remember Aaron and >119?

>>259413 >Watamote only became popular in the East after they gave Tomoko a harem This might be true but I don’t think Yuri readers were buying the Watamote merchandise and DVDs. That was still the original audience that had Tomoko as a waifu. >if you look at Pixiv shit for the series 9 out of 10 pictures have the other autistic girls in it. I guess they tried to pander too much to the yurifags and the yurifags got tired of it at some point More proof of yurifags original taste. At least shit tends to happen in Yaoi mangas >I'm fully convinced that Nagatoro broke manga artists who draw romances that go nowhere. If Nagatoro becomes the standard. It will make Inuyasha and Fushigi Yuugi's pacing look dated and boring if they came out today. Maybe that’s why the Inuyasha sequel appears to be avoiding romance altogether?
>>259387 Something euro. That's how how Japs style most of their big forehead straight hair lolis. If that's an official picture and not some cropped fanart, I'd say she could most easily pass for a blonde euro-loli if the colors were swapped around.

SEGA video game classic 'Toejam & Earl' is becoming a movie thanks to NBA star Steph Curry >A pair of funky-fresh E.T. rappers are dropping their video game controllers in favor of the TV remote. >Yep, old-school SEGA Genesis icons ToeJam & Earl are reportedly getting their very own feature film at Amazon, with a stats-boosting assist from Stephan Curry’s Unanimous Media production company. >Now that sounds like a slam dunk (sorry) idea. Via The Hollywood Reporter, the dynamic alien duo will spin the story of their interplanetary search for a cure to their beat-killing blues in the upcoming small-screen film. >Amos Vernon and Nunzio Randazzo, who (alongside Genndy Tartakovsky) penned the screenplay for this year’s Hotel Transylvania: Transformania sequel, are reportedly on board to write the movie, with no word yet on casting or a director. >For the unacquainted, ToeJam & Earl debuted in 1991 as a SEGA original video game featuring the titular pair of groove-loving alien rappers, who end up on Earth in search of the answer to the music-squelching malady that’s begun plaguing their native planet. >Created by designer Greg Johnson and programmer Mark Voorsanger, that first Genesis game got booties bumpin’ with a surprisingly solid soundtrack infused with hip-hop and funk vibes, inspiring a pair of sequels and spinning the duo toward cult-classic status as the kind of quirky, offbeat mascots that felt perfectly at home on SEGA’s Nintendo-alternative console. >The synopsis for the upcoming movie, according to the THR, sets ToeJam & Earl on a journey across space that tweaks their native planet’s slightly twisted notion of what Earth — fabled to be “the Paradise where the music that created their culture originated,” as it teases, is really all about. >Unfortunately for our heroes, not only do they wreck their ship, but they find that Earth is… >well, not the haven they expected. But the music — that part was true. So begins their quest to find as much of that music as they can in the hope of saving their planet, and maybe ours as well.” >In other words, it’s a chance for SEGA’s rhyme-minded aliens to star in a feature film story that narrates what fans have long loved about the video games. >ToeJam & Earl will reportedly touch down as a joint production of Unanimous Media (Curry’s multimedia company) in conjunction with the recently-hatched Story Kitchen studio. >Launched in October as a joint venture between John Wick creator Derek Kolstad, Sonic the Hedgehog film producer Dmitri M. Johnson, and entertainment agency veteran Mike Goldberg, Story Kitchen aims to be “hyperfocused on the creation and amplification of ‘world-building action’ and ‘non-traditional intellectual property,’” according to Deadline. >As retro gaming fans can attest, a movie based on ToeJam & Earl definitely fits that description. Amazon hasn’t dropped the needle yet on a release date, so now’s the time to dive back into your SEGA deep-cuts catalog and relive the retro adventure before the funky pair’s big date with movie destiny. https://archive.ph/qe6ji How did the Toejam and earl being niggers meme got started?

Video Game Violence: The Military and Game Developers Can't Both Be Right >The debate over violence and video games is in its petulant teens. In a sense, the conversation is just a re-skinned hash of the Black Sabbath and Dungeons & Dragons debates of the late 1980s and 1990s. >The key difference is that metal and dice games aren’t used by the government to train soldiers. Video games are — now more than ever. Does this imply a link between anti-social impulses and joystick excellence? >Absolutely, and trying to square that with the developers’ tautological argument that violence is violence and games are games is only getting harder. >Thanks largely to unmanned drones, the line between video games and warfare has gotten a lot blurrier. Battle is conducted on screens by men and women who are both divorced — and extremely not — from the reality of conflict. >This is what fascinates Prof. Robert Sparrow of Australia’s Monash University, an ethicist who set out to reconcile the video game industry’s claims of innocence with the history of battle simulators and gamified war. >His research was far reaching and profound, but he couldn’t manage the trick. Professor Sparrow spoke to Inverse about why dismissing the connection between video games and violence is intellectually lazy and why that’s bad news for both warriors and gamers. >I’d love to start today by discussing an earlier paper of yours called War Without Virtue where you look at the idea of military ethics in the age of war as a desk job. Tell me about the “Good Warrior”. >The conception called the Warrior Virtues or Martial Virtues that gets into “role morality”: the idea that certain people— doctors, lawyers, soldiers— have both special moral privileges (soldiers are allowed to shoot people) but also special responsibilities moral obligations. >An American woman named Shannon French has sort of pioneered this as an approach to military ethics— how important it is that members of the armed services need to understand what they’re doing is moral and worthwhile because that’s crucial to their ability to reintegrate to reality. >When you come home you need to be able to be able to think of yourself as a good person. Soldiers have an easier time going back to being citizens if they’ve acted in accordance with their own moral code as reinforced by those around them. >There’s a lot of questions around this now because of the operators of remote drone aircraft and a bigger debate about whether they should receive medals and awards for service that are equivalent to combat medals. >Some say “well, you’re not really going to war” but we see these operators burdened by guilt and an inability to reconcile actions against a moral code and it isn’t reflected consistently by those around them. >How do we understand the ethics or what these people are doing? Is it brave? Do they act with honor? What does it mean to demonstrate mercy through a video screen? >You’re saying that the military has a hard time understanding whether drone fighters are technically fighters? Moral courage can haunt you but there’s also a perceived disconnect with the idea of unmanned drone pilots and “physical courage,” which is a central concept in the role of being a warrior. >So I’m fascinated by the role of those media screens in the transmission of the moral reality of warfare. >Here’s the issue: We don’t treat drone pilots on the same way because what they’re doing is easy to criticize. It’s the gamification of warfare; “video game warfare” as critics call it. >But we do reward and honor the pilots of manned aircraft like B-52 bombers. Drone pilots make the case that the pilots of manned aircraft fly very high over their targets, and drop payloads on a set of GPS coordinates. >That’s warfare that everyone understands and these pilots understand their place within the warrior code. But drone operators use their technology to spy on targets and observe them for long periods of time. >They learn who these people are and follow them through their daily life, and when the time comes to execute them they watch these people bleed out, and then take note of who comes to mourn the body and bury them. >That’s obviously a much more personal, emotionally invested experience than dropping bombs on a set of map coordinates. Now you have these drone operators experiencing PTSD and guilt and being met with accusations that what they do isn’t “real heroism” and I think you can see the problems. >So you came to video games via an interest in military application and the disconnect that screens provide to warfare? I >wasn’t much of a gamer— I actually developed repetitive stress injuries from typing so that was problem. I got around that by starting to play more games on my phone. >Also, by including my colleague Brendan Keogh on the paper, because he’s more at home in the world of games. I wasn’t playing Call of Duty for fun when I got into this. >My interest was originally the role of video imagery and then the literature on video simulation. I wanted to get past the media effects of representation, which you’re well aware of. >There’s a debate about whether books lead people to kill each other, so I’m not trying to prove that videogames have the same effect. It’s about the causal power of any particular medium. >It’s particularly clear with video games, where there’s some panic and there’s literature on the panic and games study literature that says it doesn’t really affect people. So when you tried to write in that area you can get trapped there. >What I wanted to say is, let’s put that aside. There is a lot of money being poured into video games being used by the military to train people, and to recruit people. >On the most basic level, if something is being used as both a genuine training tool for military purposes and as entertainment, does that seem problematic? >Some of these games for the military are even designed to increase your respect for human life, but if it can be successful in changing you in that way, doesn’t that imply you can be changed in negative ways too? >Wait, so you’re saying that either the military is well aware that games have the power to change people or that they’re lying to themselves at great cost? >No, I’m trying to make readers make a choice. I am opposed to the claims of the inertness of games. I tried to under commit as to who is right here, because I think there are cases to be made on both sides about the effectiveness of what is going on here, but on the most basic level you cannot claim that video games, or any medium, exists without impacting a person. >In simplest terms, if you keep playing a video game you will get better at that video game. That proves that video games do change you. So what do we want to do with that information? >Me, personally, I think advertising works. If that works then games can shape behavior. It seems likely. >There are gun manufacturers who are paying to have their guns placed in video games because they think it is marketing for people to buy their gun in the real world. >If they didn’t think this was an effective marketing tool, with real world implications, why would they waste their time or money on it? >So if games are being used to train people, and games affect gamers, we have to re-examine what we’re being taught? I wanted to raise the possibility that the military is just engaged in PR. >And if it is just a recruitment tool and if you can recruit using it then you can reshape the behavior. You don’t want to conclude that everyone who plays games is going to turn into a monster, but you aren’t the same person after playing three months of Call of Duty as you would be having never played it that’s equally implausible. I do not want to be arguing that games shape behavior. https://archive.ph/gNTnJ
>>259433 They can secretly want it though. Most of the women I’ve talked to on a deeper than superficial level told me they fantasize about rape.

>>259456 I saw one leave a building with a mask on, and they took it off when they got outside. There wasn't any sign that required one to wear them.
>>259460 Many people still believe the mask prevents YOU from getting sick when its purpose is to keep OTHER PEOPLE from getting YOUR sickness. The shriveled mind of the Vauci Ouchie normalfags is a strange one
>>259439 >soldiers are allowed to shoot people No they aren't, the sovereign nation and/or autonomous self-determined separatist nation they're invading says it's illegal. Their only justification is some every-nail-needs-a-hammering trolley problem diplomacy because they need israel to stay relevant, and for that they need people to care about petrol. :^)

>>259459 Superior version of the scene
>>259459 Looking at this scene now, over 30 years later from when it supposedly happened, it comes across that Steve was the one who was right at the end. Looking at the Windows OS, from 3.1 all the way to W7, they were all innovating upon the original idea that they took from Apple. And, then with W8 forward, they "big idea" was to makes Windows more like iOS, another idea from Apple. However, they face the issue that, despite almost forcing everyone to upgrade, no one practically uses W10, and people reject W11 even when they're being paid to use it. And, M$ doesn't know what to do except hold video games hostage, again (Because that tactic worked so well for Vista). Not saying that Apple is in a much better position as, after Steve died, there went all of their creativity. So, Apple has transitioned into being more of a media business where most of their money comes from iTunes.
Since we're talking about our good ol friend Gates I'm gonna re-post this.
>>259466 I basically completely agree with this. And now we have a nightmare industry-wide where no one wants to go to work at all (some companies are still refusing to be in person again), and so the last two years have been a dead halt in development of both hardware and software. The hardware boom has long died out--there'll only be asymptotically smaller improvements, if any, from now until the collapse of civilization--but software was still improving until chinkflu gave an excuse for not actually doing any work.
>>259456 I still see people wearing masks while driving around in their cars. At this point, I'm not even sure if they're just stupid and still believe in it's efficacy - but it's a lie they knowingly cling to because it makes them feel safe and morally superior. It's a safety blanket. I almost feel bad for them, because this is trauma induced behavior. For context, it's still fairly rare out here. Maybe every one in 200 people I'll see wearing a mask, and wearing a mask in their car is even rarer. Mostly older folks, but a few 20-somethings here and there. This isn't a blue state, or even some shade of purple... and I don't live near a major city. So it's not like this can be explained by following the rules or social pressure. Even the talking shitheads on TV aren't requiring or even pretending to care about masks in many cases. Political tribalism doesn't fully explain it. I want to think that these people are wearing their masks Japanese style - as a social courtesy from the sick to everyone else - but why the fuck would that ever be the case in America? We haven't collectively learned some profound societal lessons from all this, and the masking phenomena was never framed in the media as anything other than SELF protection. This is just fear induced trauma on full display. They were told to lock up for two years, told that every stray breath from a stranger could kill them or their loved ones, and happily took a customer loyalty punch-card at their preferred vaccine dispensary. For all those shitheads who claimed PTSD on Twitter over mean words on the internet - I legit think that the last few years have given a lot of people a mild form PTSD. It's honestly kind of sad.

>>259472 It's even funnier when you see people have this cognitive dissonance for all to see. For example, in the case of The Last Airbender, with the sole exception of Noah Ringer (Aang) and Nicola Peltz (Katara), every remaining actor in the film was either born in or a descendant of SEA/ME (Which makes them Asian). Yet, as far as the media and SJWeebs were concerned, the "entire" cast was "white": https://archive.vn/STKTQ https://archive.vn/aCZ5D And, when I brought this up to the person talking about the "travesty" of the casting choice, the person rebounded that it doesn't count someone was born there as their "parents" are not native to the region.

Twitter is doing a purge of journos who violated the new doxxxxxxxing rule. If a user posts someone's real time location it's assumed that they are maliciously targeting them which means they get banned by default. Journos have existed in a bubble in which such rules against doxing were never applied to them, so many journo account continued their business as usual of putting out info to get dissidents and their families targeted, harassed, assaulted, killed, etc. however the new rule DID apply to journalists so there has been a ban wave, a purge of those journo accounts. After losing reach on social media I guess they'll have to go back to buying bot traffic from China, a country in which their websites are banned so the bot traffic is blatantly obvious. Remember that?

Why do you lot like "loud, angry, rowdy" anime girls, while simultaneously decrying the same attitude in western women and praising "elegant, submissive, feminine" Japanese women? Shit don't make sense. You literally hate women acting one way IRL, but love when girls act that way in anime.

>>259641 That's what I've been saying. This like the invention of the camera, but even bigger.
>>259626 I really hate the "meh jobs!!!" argument these people spout. Don't get me wrong, it's obvious that what they're saying about clients and companies taking the easy way out will destroy jobs, but that's been the norm from time immemorial. Here's a few pro AI arguments: 1) Photography didn't destroy paintings,digital art didn't destroy traditional art and 3D renders didn't destroy manual animations. There is no way that a neural network will destroy art, and these people should rather use the AIs to their advantage to make tedious tasks (i.e. coloring and background characters) faster or more efficient. 2) Most people standing up against AIs are DIGITAL artists, and most digital artists have pirated tools or do not pay the developers of such tools continuous fees for every piece of art they make. I could understand an argument made by traditional artists, but digital artists really have no right to complain on the affordability aspect. 3) They're attacking "techbros" and the like, which is understandable, tons of grifters always rise up when new tech or fads come around, look at the mobile phone games and NFTs for an example. But people will wise up to a 0 effort scam very quickly and will be likely able to differentiate great art from okay art indistinguishable from an AI generated one and completely AI generated art. 4) If they're so angry at AI art, they should bitch to the moderation teams on websites created solely to share art to either force AI generated art into their own categories and instantly ban anyone who steps out of line, or to shut AI generated art period. Similarly, they could bitch to include fingerprinting on AI art that signals its nature. It's rather stupid though because unless you purposefully delete EXIF data you can always tell which piece of art was generated by which program, because 99% of AI "artists" just repost whatever prompt they threw in Stable Diffusion. 5) Where were these people when shit like google translate and deepl were taking translators' jobs away? Or when pajeets were copying code from open source and stackoverflow answers and reselling it as proprietary? Or what about artificial voice acting like with 15.ai? I bet most of these artists didn't really care that much cause "their job was secure" or some silly notion like that. Additionally, as I've been reading Berserk as of late, I can attest to this: an artist will always have a better eye for detail than a machine, no matter how sophisticated it is. If the artist can't do that, then it's a testament on the quality of the art and not really the tool used. >>259632 Precisely, but the true losers are the niche fetish artists, fully expecting galleries of WonderBread pictures by next week.
>>259649 I think its like a person can give art direction better than a mimicker, theres a guy on youtube who tries to reverse engineer art styles and he really struggled on just one of the works one of the best digital artists in our time made, because their art uses many different styles with its' own nuances and accents. An AI would probably vomit garbage if told to copy her style, not only because of the variance but because it probably doesn't know what semitones are, or do a closeup of a person's face in an escher-esque style.
>>259570 How much do you want to bet like pretty much most of those women who get jobs at the Washington Post had to sleep with somebody.
>>259650 >theres a guy on youtube who tries to reverse engineer art styles and he really struggled on just one of the works one of the best digital artists in our time made Link to it? I find these people fascinating. >An AI would probably vomit garbage if told to copy her style, not only because of the variance but because it probably doesn't know what semitones are, or do a closeup of a person's face in an escher-esque style. Exactly. Again, the fact that some pieces are indistinguishable from generic animu art tells me more about the artist than the program being used. Even those abstract compositions made by AIs are just visual tricks, take a bit longer to scan the picture with your eye and you can clearly tell that it's garbled up concepts thrown together at random.
>>259645 >sadly it has already gone wrong with the AI owner companies It really does bother me that miracles like CharacterAI and AiDungeon can exist, but are strangled by pearl-clutching niggers like OpenAI who are either too afraid of going down in history as "enabling text-CP" that they lobotomize their own programs or are so laser-focused on their" le wholesome usage only" that they throw a bitchfit when the internet turns out to be horny in private and not only lobotomize, but spy on their users' sessions and logs just to be extra certain they aren't trying to circumvent. It's not even the fact they do this, I'm already resigned to the fact trannies and other cattle overtook mainstream coding and programming. It's the fact that it's too expensive for anyone other than these freaks to make AI that shits in my cereal. You don't even get the illusion of "alternatives" like Twatter and its failed clones.

The C programming language worked in this way near its inception, the people at Bell Labs would use the language on paper to write what the compiler should be, and then translated it to the instruction set and then machine code on paper before using it on the desired computer architecture to write more programs in C. From there you could get the rest of what you want out of that architecture before repeating it on a different design. >>259655 Pic related, they stopped because they don't want to touch bugmen.

>>259649 >1) Photography didn't destroy paintings Kinda did. Especially realism. Disciplined classical painters are few and far between. >3D renders didn't destroy manual animations. That's an ongoing process. It's been nearly a decade since Disney, once the king of 2D animated films, has made an actual 2D animated film instead of a much more profitable and easier to churn out 3DCG movie. Similarly, it's becoming more common and acceptable every year to lazily use 3DCG to speed up and cheapen the creation process of anime even to the detriment of the quality of the work. If this trend continues, the anime industry will be following Disney in due time, albeit at a slower pace. >There is no way that a neural network will destroy art It will destroy the generic. The easier something is to find examples of, the less demand there will be for traditional drawings of it, even if there was lots of demand for it before.

We already know that companies do this kind of shit even without such wondrous tools. >Kinda did. Especially realism. Disciplined classical painters are few and far between. It's costlier, true, but that doesn't mean they don't exist anymore. Art styles are also heavily dependent on the times, in the 1910s and 20s you had a lot of artists moving to surrealism and futurism, then as the '50s came a lot of them went back to realism and it only ever started fading away in the '90s. >Disney Honestly, although it's true that 3DCG is cheaper, they keep making 3Dshit more because chinks and pajeets keep watching it than because of its costs. But I agree on the topic of speed. People just don't know how to appreciate something that comes out at the right time nowadays. >The easier something is to find examples of, the less demand there will be for traditional drawings of it, even if there was lots of demand for it before. I disagree, a lot of companies still want/are contractually obliged to get artists and illustrators to create their shit. It will cull the "middle ground" of artists that are just good enough to make something alright but not cheap enough to do it for peanuts, but the low and high end artists will easily thrive. >It's irrelevant if the people making an argument are hypocrites if the argument is ultimately right. That's a huge copout and you know it. >Just matter of the AI being made by the small pool of artists embracing it that will then touch up the art in ways the AI is for now lacking. Transfer learning is harder than it sounds, my dude. I know it, I trained audio tracks for a scientific paper on copyright and fair use. You can get something that is approximately what you want, but you need so much patience to touch it up to be perfect that you might as well have learnt to do it yourself. The AI thread has plenty of examples of shit that looks incredible, but took a lot of inpainting and trial and error to get it right. If you put artists and machines against each other to get a satisfactory results, I'll wager that the AI will win most of the time but overall they'd get a comparable time when you get to anything more detailed.

But crux of the issue is, even the things that took much trial and error to get right are done much faster and with much less skill than it would take to make traditionally. It will start out with experienced artists using it as a tool and using their knowledge of art to touch things up. In time however, it will become like photoshop, where people will skip the fundamentals of how to create the base image entirely, and will instead learn and teach skills specifically about the process of editing an existing image with new tools. And these skill, while having merit, will still be less stringent too learn and far more efficient than previous methods of creating a drawing from scratch.

>>259683 I think what the >>259679 Anon is basing the argument around is the purely commercial one. Which, if it was done by artists themselves, would be a completely valid argument. However, artists are being completely disingenuous against AI with "muh soul" and arguments of that similar vibe because they really cannot fathom being displaced or adapting to the new standard. >In time however, it will become like photoshop, where people will skip the fundamentals of how to create the base image entirely, and will instead learn and teach skills specifically about the process of editing an existing image with new tools. You're overestimating the amount of people who can do GOOD photoshop edits. With AI too, we're now seeing complete amateurs trying to monkey around with the tool, give it a few months and only the most dedicated or the ones who understood the tool the most will remain. >And these skill, while having merit, will still be less stringent too learn and far more efficient than previous methods of creating a drawing from scratch. I think the issue here has more to do with the fact that the "generic" item that one artist may get employed for is now completely computer iteratable. I dunno, I still feel that we're on the hype train phase and slowly over time people will realize the actual limitations of the tech and will work around them or abandon it entirely. Kind of like what happened to 3D printing or again text to speech for real actors.

>>259701 >>259702 To play plebbitors advocate, the starter mons always seem to go for a split of 75% male and 25% female ever since the genders got introduced so it shouldn't be that much surprising. On the other hand, the designs have stopped being gendered or gender neutral for a long time, like the fox mon being a slutty witch for both genders instead of having some minor differences. >>259705 The fuck am I looking at?

>>259725 >like the fox mon being a slutty witch for both genders instead of having some minor differences. A lot of Pokemon have different forms based on gender, so I don't understand why they don't just do that. I think they just want trap Pokemon.

>>259726 The sex... WOW, he posted it right as I was going to talk about that. The sex differences only started happening in later generations, but I don't get why they didn't just go back in and retcon ALL the logical differences instead of just retarded, meaningless, arbitrary ones. For example, the Machamp male/female differences need to be FAR more distinct, but I guess that just doesn't fucking matter to these lazy retards. Hell, they should make Primarina female-only and actually bring in Ballio to be the male evolution. Make it a full branch rather than just a visual difference. Most people have zero fucking idea that there are even sex differences in Pokemon because they're so tiny and unnoticeable. People think the female hippopotamus is a shiny because it's so different, on the other hand.
>>259729 >Make it a full branch rather than just a visual difference. I want a male branch for Kanghaskhan and a baby evo. It's such an obvious thing to do, why the fuck haven't they done it yet?

>>259730 I know, right? There's a lot that can be done with new pokemon with regard to sexual dimorphism, but they prefer the Torchic method to the Jellicent method. >>259731 Well, yeah; that's when they started. But JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER FEATURE THEY ADD, they didn't even keep up with them. They threw a bunch in for the early gens to "show it off" in 4, and then only a handful later.
>>259732 They wouldn't even need to do much more than a pallet swap, like with the Hippowdon line. Game Freak are a bunch of lazy ass niggers. Look at the difference between male and female Octillery. The male has an almost imperceptibly larger bump on it's head. It really is retarded.
>>259728 >>259729 >>259730 >>259731 But you see THEY FUCKED THAT UP TOO WITH THE GARDEVOIR LINE They created Gallade to be MALE Gardevoir...and then Gardevoir keeps both genders yet Gallade is only male. FUCK Shit like this drives me insane because it's plain incompetence. Creating more branches at this point guarantees giant fuck ups. At least the very obvious humanoid pokemon should go back to the drawing board and get massive redesigns in terms of gender. Some others still need redeisgns, like the Butterfrees not being pink when female, like...come on. The anime did it, it's not hard to recolour something. >>259733 Yes, exactly.

>>259702 Many pokemon have these gender ratios to make breeding more difficult. It has been like that since the mechanic was introduced. >>259703 The fujos are in charge of designing humans. Just take a look at pics related: the co-protagonist of the current anime (Goh), the protagonist of the new games (who can crossdress), two male opponents (Ortega and Grusha), and the professor (Turo) with his son (Arven, one of the MC's rivals).
>>259734 YES. THANK YOU. I didn't want to be the guy to keep bringing that up (Gardevoir remains my favorite pokemon because playing Gen 3 for the first time, my first Pokemon caught in that route was a shiny female Ralts with Trace, and I've tended to keep one around ever since). It's totally fine, to me, that they add branches or differences to existing Pokemon lines, but they need to man the fuck up and actually retcon their shit CLEANLY. They even did that, eventually, with Glaceon and Leafeon. Instead of the retarded moss rock, it's a Leaf Stone like it should have been from the beginning. But they don't apply this logic evenly. >plain incompetence You're speaking my language, man. Gamefreak doesn't seem to give a shit about anything anymore. Not back-end mechanics, not depth of gameplay, not even cosmetic shit (with the new games looking so terrible and the inconsistencies in fun features or flavor like dimorphism), but particularly not continuity.

They also chose a very bland art style and colors.
>>259734 >>259739 Let me explain it. Originally Ralts' evo line didn't include Gallade. In 3rd gen games Gardevoir was the only outcome for Ralts male and female alike. It was in the 4th gen when Gallade was introduced as an optional evolution that is achieved by exposing a male Kirlia to an specific item. In the 6th gen both Gardevoir and Gallade got mega evolutions, and in the 9th gen (the current one) a new "Paradox Pokemon" from a distant future named Iron Valiant that resembles both Gardevoir and Gallade was introduced. Unlike normal Pokemon, Paradox Pokemon don't have genders or evolutions, and are themed after the distant past or the distant future.

That is a niche format that has its value rooted in sentimentality. Art that doesn't have sentimentality towards it will be almost entirely replaced, at least commercially, by AI. There is no reason it wouldn't be.

>>259804 >>259808 There's three main reasons why it's difficult to spawn a redhead: - The gene is recessive - The gene always 'skips' one generation - Both parents must be carrying the gene (per the second reason) If I have at least one parent who's a natural redhead, and one (or both) of my partner's parents is ginger, then and only then do we have a greater-than-0% chance of producing an IRL Vivian together.
>>259822 >dmc and street fighter Simple: she has a boy's brain; can't wait for her to transition. A REAL woman playing video games would be into Kingdom Hearts and FF8/10.
>>259814 >Now explain where the natural redhead chinks/gooks This one has an actual explanation. Ghengis Khan. I think it's something like 20% of the population over there has genetic ties to him and he was apparently red headed. Steppe peoples are weird and didn't really look like they're portrayed in media.
>>259829 Anon, reread my post. I'm not seeing any redhead chinks. Azns are pretty much all black or brown haired.
>>259824 And the techniques are irrelevant because an AI can produce them. Are there specific kinds of art that will retain value by nature of being produced by a human? Of course. Is that kind of work the bulk of the market value for artists labor? Not even remotely. Therefore the overwhelming majority of that labor will cease to have any value.
>>259830 If it's recessive then it would be harder and harder to find one in the wild, the 50% chance becomes 25% becomes 12% becomes 6% and so on, until a new ginger is produced or some freak dna sequence happens to produce one in an infinitesimally small chance. >>259831 Selling creativity was always a questionable venture.

>>259832 >Selling creativity was always a questionable venture. Sort of. But in recent decades it's had a lot more value in the age of video games and media. Creating assets people actually use in large scale productions is a pretty legitimate line of work. Which is why so many artists are probably sperging the fuck out, because that's the exact line of work that AI will be used first in. Because no one in the industry is sentimental about the assets they use in production. >>259833 >Human hands will always remain relevant. What an utterly meaningless sentence. Thanks for sharing it with us.
>>259832 >the 50% chance becomes 25% becomes 12% becomes 6% and so on That's not recessive, that's reductive. >>259835 Wouldn't an albino have red eyes?
>>259837 >What an utterly meaningless sentence. Thanks for sharing it with us. Sure are butthurt over a true statement but I'm gonna keep making money being an art fag and while AI might be a pain in the asshole a bit, human artist will keep being relevant and earn shekels. >>259835 > Looks totally albino Her eyes would be reddish if she was.
>>259839 >Sure are butthurt over a true statement The validity of the statement isn't the issue, how vacuous it was is. <Human eyes will always remain relevant Profound. >but I'm gonna keep making money being an art fag and while AI might be a pain in the asshole a bit, human artist will keep being relevant and earn shekels. Okay, I hope you do. But that isn't an argument. I don't like or want AI to impact the market value for artists labor. But it's basic economics, and it will.
>>259840 You really don't understand that you have to feed AI to make the art and AI can't come up with concepts for a work or have imagination. >But it's basic economics, and it will. Not in the black pill manner you think it will.

No I don't. I have gone out of my way to state that I explicitly don't want that to be true.

>>259850 It's your fault for getting into an argument over speculation. For all either of you know, maybe there will be energy rationing or taiwan terrorism to kill computing and the internet, and clay pottery art will become the hip new trend as we rebuild locally from the early industrial age.

Things only really got bad around the 80s as the poz didn't set in fully till then, as there was an absolute golden age of illustration in North America and Europe from to 1900s-1970s. Many of the art schools are to blame for purposely sabotaging basic foundations or doing insane gatekeeping like the prices of tuition or expecting a total beginner to have 80% skills of what they are teaching at the school ( which at that point why bother going to school anyway?) we are insanely lucky that independent practices in the past 20 years subverted the cancer that nearly destroyed art education. >>259850 Seems I struck something huh?

>>259867 What I was saying is that irl, what you think of as a tomboy and also a lesbian really is a dyke, the kind who wants to be a man. An actual tomboy isnt a homosexual, they're still straight. This is feminine penis levels of retardation you're spewing. Also it's IRL so it isn't as relevent, but I have heard accounts of real lesbian social dynamics in japan. The dominant ones really do want to be a non-tranny masculine person, sometimes even dabbling in testosterone. Likewise there are feminine ones which are more rare, and a good half of them or more don't like masculine lesbians at all as a partner. At least in japan, being a lesbian means hunting for a bottom that likes you, and for tops it's a stacked game, since bottoms are also looking for bottoms for a long term relationship while shunning tops. Dyke on dyke is kind of a thing for platonic/asexual relationships too though, but most would rather not settle down that way.
>>259874 *settle down that way, since to them its like a man (them) marrying another man.
