Agreed. I have bounced off this game a few times for similar reasons. For a game that is about a cyberpunk future, it felt so much like a gta clone. Having played the ttrpgs, I think I just have a different version of the world in my head, and the games version just feels off.
The guy only got the job this week! Goddamn you fuckers can’t be pleased for anything!
Is Mandani going to fix everything? Probably not, but let’s give the guy a chance before we inevitably throw him under the bus for not being left enough, and vote some racist boomer in to take his place because he couldn’t undo the mess of a country you have in four years.
5 AI “specialists”, 70,000 prompts, and this is the best they could come up with?
A vague red truck drives past iconic winter animals: a sloth, some seals, a panda, and a horde of bunnies that clip through each other. Some lights appear on trees, but not all the trees, just a few of them. What a sad lacklustre ad, even from AI.
There are different sets of primaries used when we talk about screen, print, light, and paint.
Most people learn RBY through painting, whether as a child, or in art classes at school, and assume it applies to all colour.
“Yeah! The real primary colours are CMY!”
Also bullshit.
Our RGB primaries are a simplification that comes from availability of pigments. While blue was originally a very rare and valuable pigment made from precious stones, it was still more available than magenta or cyan, which are made synthetically.
All of the following is taking paint mixing into mind.
When looking at a continuous colour wheel:
You can see where each colour sits on the spectrum. When you consider a RBY palette, we are limited to essentially the colours in this triangle:
Mixing a vibrant Purple or Green is often difficult with a basic rby colour palette, and a Magenta or Cyan is impossible. We define a primary colour as “foundational colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours”, which means that CMY are real primaries, right? Well, if we look at the CMy palette:
We DO get a wider range of colours, but you’ll notice that a true purple, green, blue, and red are still outside of our range. You can get a pretty close red with Yellow and Magenta, but it will never be as vibrant as a pure Red pigment. So then Red is a primary?
When painting, you should use the colours that you need for the work, and mix from there. The ‘primary colours’ are a tool to teach students the theory of colour mixing. It is not a perfect guide, but teaching complex colour theory to novice painters is just intimidation. Most people get an intro to art, learn RBY, and then leave art, don’t think about it again until a TikTok titled “school LIED to you” introduced CMY.
EDIT: this is from the perspective of an artist. I am not an expert, and certainly got something wrong in here, but the primary argument has always annoyed me
Sure, but removing knowledge kind of goes against what creating a Wikipedia backup is about…
I don’t think this is an image that you could view openly in a regular workplace, even if there is no dick and balls in the image. It’s a raunchy screenshot from a porno.
Can I enquire how 15,000,000 copies sold was down to luck? They released a solid game with fun gameplay, great music, and an eye-catching art style. They priced the game competitively, even considering international pricing. All of this seems like choices that were made with intention, not the roll of a dice.
You could perhaps argue that there was luck in people seeing the games initial campaign on kickstarter, but I don’t think you can excuse the rest as ‘luck’.
Me: being socially anxious and going into panic stations when small talk begins.
Other person: it appears that this is not a decent person.
