Never read this comment. Thanks a lot, this made my day.

It is getting tiresome. It seems the main lemmy communities are worse hiveminded than reddit.

Is ign heading to bankruptcy? I thought they were the biggest videogames site.

I think he is implying that trump has already lost an election.

That is the whole goal with automation right? I don’t think that is how is going to pan out. With all the extra money guys like zuckerberg are going to feed their cows with nuts and beer.

You are right in saying that all studios who can work for less money will do. That is the scary part for thousands of people working in animation and film.

Tech people doesn’t know about art, well I’m not sure, but that is irrelevant as AI are trained on existing top of the line art made by the best artistis in the world.

On the renderman subject, that is not correct. Renderman is a render engine for 3d softwares. AI doesn’t need a render engine at all as it produces images by itself. And for movies like topgun a number of different engines are used, renderman, vray, Arnold, redshift, unreal, etc.

You joke, but as a cgi animator I’m kind of worried. It is evolving so fast and has gotten many people I know out of their jobs (concept art, photography, illustration) and it seems like is just a matter of time for the techbros to perfect these tools for animation and video.

I’m really really hoping to be wrong.

You warned us and we didn’t listen and we failed to stop the transaction from happening. We are a bunch of fools.

So it stopped working a while ago but sadly it seems to be working?

I’m obviously not the majority but I play Fortnite and halo infinite with my kids. We haven’t bought anything but enjoyed hundreds of hours playing. There is people who like to spend and people who don’t, and at least in these two tittles there are no predatory issues as long as an adult is supervising.

I think it was a joke.

Daily!

And firefight!

Are you trolling? Korea has a 97% literacy rate and is in the top 20 of best educated countries in the world.

Mexican here, standard of living and costs are lower. Our minimum wage has always been a joke but government doesn’t raise it because inflation. I’m too ignorant on those matters and really don’t know if that is true.

Made for the rental market?

It was hard so it would suck for people who rented the game. Developers and publishers didn’t get a cut for each rental.

Not as much as if there was no rental business. It was bad for them, Nintendo even tried to stop blockbuster from renting their games. They weren’t designing games thinking about the rentals.

Game developers didn’t profit from rents.

Oh I’m aware of the true definition of boomer but for many teeanger if you are older than 25 you are a boomer.

Ha! I guess I already qualify as a boomer. I’m 43 and been a gamer since the commodore days. I play everything that comes my way if time permits, from indies like islanders for a relaxing me time, to mega AAA F2P monsters like Fortnite to have a laugh with my sons.
