y’know, i don’t get why people lump yooka-laylee in with shit like mighty no. 9 as examples of kickstarter scams
like, the final product wasn’t amazing, sure, but it was pretty much exactly what the kickstarter promised – a 90s-style 3d collectathon made by rare vets – to the point of carrying over most of the flaws of the games that inspired it
but “the final game wasn’t great” isn’t exactly a scam along the lines of MN9′s complete departure from what the kickstarter was promising, constant asking for more money, literal console-bricking bugs, what have you
THANK YOU! That’s what I’ve been saying. Worst thing the Yookla-Laylee guys did is block idiots asking for refunds from a site that doesn’t offer refunds, which is the internet version of banning that one asshole who always makes a scene in order to get free stuff from a store.
“OMG [Insert character here] IS THE NEW ONCELER!! HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING FROM HISTORY!?!? *Insert screencap of that one ‘I’m not strong enough* scene from The Incredibles*”
does it still count as being aromantic if you like having your persona/self insert/etc paired with characters but you’re not actually interested in dating irl
there’s probably a specific term for this but is it still considered as being aro or is this another thing entirely
like i like putting my self inserts in different relationships because it’s fun to imagine, but I can’t imagine myself, in reality, in a romantic relationship; like real me going on a real date with real people just isn’t as exciting.
Then again I kind of think that even though my self inserts are supposed to be me, I don’t actually think of them as myself??? I still kind of think of them as a character I made, even though they look like me and (usually) act like me, I don’t consider them as myself for real?
is that still considered a self insert/persona character?
And on the other hand, is this a legit thing or am I being one of those weird creepers that everyone likes to portray where they go “3d girls aren’t as good as 2d girls” and i don’t want to admit it???
I dunno it’s almost 4AM I should really go to bed but this has been bugging me a bit
So if you’ve ever picked out paint, you know that every infinitesimally different shade of blue, beige, and gray has its own descriptive, attractive name. Tuscan sunrise, blushing pear, Tradewind, etc… There are in fact people who invent these names for a living. But given that the human eye can see millions of distinct colors, sooner or later we’re going to run out of good names. Can AI help?
For this experiment, I gave the neural network a list of about 7,700 Sherwin-Williams paint colors along with their RGB values. (RGB = red, green, and blue color values) Could the neural network learn to invent new paint colors and give them attractive names?
One way I have of checking on the neural network’s progress during training is to ask it to produce some output using the lowest-creativity setting. Then the neural network plays it safe, and we can get an idea of what it has learned for sure.
By the first checkpoint, the neural network has learned to produce valid RGB values – these are colors, all right, and you could technically paint your walls with them. It’s a little farther behind the curve on the names, although it does seem to be attempting a combination of the colors brown, blue, and gray.
By the second checkpoint, the neural network can properly spell green and gray. It doesn’t seem to actually know what color they are, however.
Let’s check in with what the more-creative setting is producing.
…oh, okay.
Later in the training process, the neural network is about as well-trained as it’s going to be (perhaps with different parameters, it could have done a bit better – a lot of neural network training involves choosing the right training parameters). By this point, it’s able to figure out some of the basic colors, like white, red, and grey:
Although not reliably.
In fact, looking at the neural network’s output as a whole, it is evident that:
The neural network really likes brown, beige, and grey.
The neural network has really really bad ideas for paint names.
i hate how people on this gotdamn hellsite dont acknowledge the fact that Cromartie High is the the purest, most perfect anime ever made
its a self-aware parody that makes fun of anime/tv tropes and the comedy is never a miss, its an absurdist comedians fever dream
the animation style is even a parody of stilted 80s gangster animes, and is also a parody of the genre
the characters despite how they look arent problematic, they even correct each other when the other is being an asshole, even in their inner monologues they correct themselves. watching them interact encourages you to actually be a good person??
for some reason the characters even delve into philosophical discussions about the government/ society/ education/ internet culture that, despite the comedic setting, are really meaningful
freddie mercurys in it
please watch cromartie, its such a good time
P.S. theres a live action movie, they exorcise a robot who keeps saying fuck
