Still crazy that no one in here is talking about a US senator calling for segregation and disenfranchisement in 2023. 

Fuck she's so ugly. It fits her personality. She looks like a neanderthal.

Not just in graphics, but UI, sound and even messing with physics.

 I look back on it, it is such weird era. I was moostly a hiphop head at the time. The only band who's album I had was Offspring's Americana. I didn't really get to build my music library until after I graduated high school and got a job.

Reason I ask, because I just came across this video:

 Definitely a huge step up from the first one. It's story and characters weren't as flat as the original, and it makes you care about the characters this time around.  The visuals are fucking amazing, and I wanna see it again in 3D. 

 I didn't really care for Avatar2 over the past decade, and if it wasn't for my siblings convincing me to go, I would've probably passed on it. Glad I didn't.

This is dumb and just a waste of time. 

It depends on how immersive you want your games to be. Just look at sims like DCS. I tried it out, and you literally have to follow a checklist to correctly start up the engine. Like starting the APU, fuel pumps, ignition, etc.

 Or same reason people play  MilSims, or same reason people want sim racers. 

 But is that not the entire point of VR? To place you into a completely different reality? We often see videogames in general, as a way of escapism, but VR has taken that a step further. Ya, reloading a gun manually seems stupid, but the feeling of actually  dropping a mag, sticking a new one in, and pulling back the charging handle is a pretty amazing eperience. Sure, Modern Warfare has amazing reloading animations, credit to the animator. But now, in an intense gunfight, now it's you. You are the animation, you are the one who has to be quick. You could forget to pull the charge handle, or drop your magazine etc. 

Then there's the aiming, you actually have to aim, not just hold R1 and let the animation do it for you. The principle mechanics of aiming are important this time. Now you are physically immersed in the game. You can run and shoot blindly to your right, you can actually peak out into any direction, and even do hand signals to teammates.

 Then there's full body immersion. Many games actually have this mechanic ready, provided you have the hardware. It's more expensive, but imo, all you need is a waist tracker. It's like a belt buckle, but it essentially tracks your body movement. Without it, the VR turns left or right based on either turning the thumbstick, or physically turning your head. With a a waist tracker, you can move your head seperate from the rest of your body. So you can run in one direction, and look in another. When you crouch, you can actually crouch your legs and still move the upper half off your body.

 Ya, it can beg the question as to "Why?. 

Because again, people love that sort of immersion. To feel like you're actually there. That's the entire point of a videogame.

Agreed. Seems like a dumb gimmick, as 99.9% of VR is, but at least they’re trying to innovate. 
 

Another stupid on Rails game tho, smh. VR is a joke. 

Sims are perfect for VR, though there are hardware limitations for games like Microsoft Flight  Sim. It's hard to get that game to run stable and look decent. 

 Or playing games like Pavlov where you need to actually reload the gun instead of pressing a button to initiate an animation.

What are some good breweries over at Cali

Angel City Brewery in Downtown Los Angeles, Golden Road Brewery in Atwater Villiage, Smog City brewery in torrance. Many more I'm trying to rememver.

Angel City is pretty cool, it's like a warehouse in the arts district. And they have Taco Trucks.

Guinness or IPA

Killzone 2 was actually pretty unique. It's a product of the cover shooter era with games like Gears of War. It deserves a remaster/remake.

In 2044, Tom stars in Mission Impossible 14 at the age of 82 where he performs the first space jump from one spacecraft to another. And the first "Tom Cruis Run", on the moon.

Like here's some stuff that I "did". Or the AI did based on what I described to it:

As you can see, there is a description of the scene, or character. Followed by the technical specifications of how the scene is portrayed.

 The computer did the heavy lifting, I just directed it. Is my end of the art based on the direction? Does the AI get credit?

For me personally, these are amazing images. But I'm more amazed withe the technology, than I am with myself when it comes to this type of medium. I feel like I should take this as inspiration, because I prersonally do not feel a sense of accomplishment. It's just something I am messing with. 

 I can utilize it as a tool. For example, I wanna try and generate textures or brushes, this can hellp with that. I can take the images and chop them up and use them to create something totally different and new. But just this alone, without putting my time and effort into it, to me, isn't an accomplishment.

 But counter to that, I understand that perhaps the art is in how well you communicate with the AI. How good of a director you are. In a sense, you are an "AI Whisperer". That is not me though. I like putting my own work in there.

how did you get the shot anyway? You look like you're on the highway, were you moving while you took the pic?

It was on a Metro bus station platform in the center of the freeway.

not a fan of the headlights but other than that, cool pic!

 Thanks man!

 Ya, it's at a metro station in the center of a freeway with a lot of traffic. It's the 110.

 Probably the only angle where downtown L.A. doesn't feel "small" (it's actually big, it's the amount of skyscrapers that is small), most of it is old 1930s-1950s buildings).

Earlier this week I was filling my car up at the gas station, and I finally felt like we were full into fall season and getting in that end of year bustling traffic feeling just by looking out at the street and seeing all the cars drive by. Felt like taking a picture.

 

 

It was also foggy during the middle of the night last week, and I wanted to learn a bit how my phone's manual camera settings work. So I was trying to mess with the exposure setting to see if I could accurately capture how thick the fog was.

 

 

And a few weeks ago, I went with some friends down to Austin to hang out over the night, and we stopped by the state capitol. And those are obviously easy shots to take.

 

 

 

 

Also, one of my friends moves out to a new development area a bit out there in the sticks. So whenever I go visit him to drink and shoot the shit, I come back home and purposely take the back roads to avoid cops. So that has some stretches of road that look very "Lost Highway".

 

 

Earlier this year, I was driving out to New Mexico, and I stopped by a small Texas town on a cold, brisk Sunday morning to eat some breakfast, and the place felt like an abandoned ghosttown. As I was walking back to my car, I noticed the back alley behind the diner and thought it looked like it hadn't been touched in a long time.

 

Nics pics. The first and second pic reminds me of when I lived in the midwest. 

I notice a lot of buildings have that dome-like architecture. Pasadena city hall as a similar building. Downtown Los Angeles has more of an old-school art-deco design. As for the road, that reminds me off one of my favorite subreddits, the subreddit LiminalSpace. A please between here and there, either a place in between places, or a moment in between times, or a state in between mindstates, Interesting concept.

As for the last pic, I'm digging the decay. Always had a thing for old buildings that are falling apart.

Also, if you wanna get a cool vibe driving through your local downtown, I recomment this track:

Been looking for where to get a good spot for this angle. Always see it coming down the freeway.  Found a good perch on Metro station platform.

They're all grifters. I'm in the wrong buisiness. Unfortunately I still maintain some integrity to trick people out of their money.

The right is now doing all they can to try and spin this.

Even attempting to pretend that they're being clever with words, and claim that Hitler was a leftist.

 

 

I love how they still think they can try and be clever with a word. Because, as we all know, classifications only come in the form of one word, and is impossible to come in the form of two words.

Watching right wingers who have been praising him for the past 2 years, now saying what the 'left' had been saying since his MAGA start is funny. Even Shapiro was defending Kanye up to the point he began his overtly antisemitic comments. Which is the only kind of bigotry that Shapiro shows any concern about. 

Dude, Ben Shapiro is such a slimy little bitch.

(idk, rather keep it open for interpretation for AI, maybe too specific can ruin it?) maybe change to console wars, idk

 

Bro I change my mind, do: "Console wars mud wrestling with dildos, xbox loses" 

 

lol I dont think i get what I want   jeez, but I'm curious

It wouldn't render dildos, so I typed 'hot-dogs':
