Are you using Voyager? I’ve noticed a similar thing and didn’t know if it was a Lemmy issue or Voyager issue.

Damn. That’s dedication.

Generally speaking, this might be fact. (Am American)

That’s absolutely what’s going on.

A fun way to combat this would be to get every artist to add giant, throbbing dicks to everything they create in Photoshop with the hope that it creates the thirstiest, nastiest AI model out there.

Wow, it’s been so long that I had forgotten about Randy’s stroke. Its a real shame that he can’t really speak or sing anymore. His voice was amazing.

On one hand, this use of AI is really cool. There are a few moments of the audio equivalent of “uncanny valley,” but overall it’s extremely convincing. And if Randy was really as involved in the process as they make it seem, then it’s a great way to give him a “voice” again.

But then again, all this makes me so nervous about the future of the music industry. I really don’t want to live in a world where the music charts are full of posthumous singles.

The Beastles song was a cool use because AI helped clean up an existing performance. Randy Travis releasing a new single using AI to sing for him is a cool opportunity (and maybe some type of closure…?) for him and his family. But I can see the flood gates starting to open…

I can’t imagine Theoden as anybody other than Bernard Hill. He was perfect. RIP.

Fuck this.

Sync?

I don’t hate everything, but I am sick and tired of shitty adaptations of books/games/whatever that I love. I have been burned so many times by seeing something and being cautiously optimistic because of good trailers… and then the final product has none of the magic or characteristics of what I loved about the originals. Watching a favorite IP get gutted by crappy writers over and over again is really frustrating. I’ve been burned so many times, it’s hard not to be cynical, angry, and jaded.

I’ve heard HBO’s “The Last of Us” is awesome, and it’s definitely on my watch list. I never watched the “One Piece” anime or read the manga, but I heard that was surprisingly good, too. I know there are some jewels out there, but they seem to be the exception.

That’s always where these show are just absolute shit. It’s so easy (relatively speaking) to nail the visuals. But writing an interesting, compelling, relatable, semi-relstable story? Fuck no! Write a stupid story with moronic characters and throw in a bunch of references to the video games for the nerds!

The Witcher. Wheel Of Time. The Rings Of Power. Cowboy Bebop. Avatar: The Last Airbender. Death Note. Fucking HALO.

All. Shit.

What?!?! Just embrace it, dude!

The Final Sacrifice is one of my all-time favorites!! It is the perfect mix of a bad movie that is just the right kind of entertaining and hilarious jokes at the awkward kid, hopeless drunk, and other ridiculous side characters. I think I could watch it literally every day.

Was it also a geographical oddity?

That’s lame! I really like my local Ace.

My favorite is still Matt Smith’s parody. I remember when he posted this on the Portnoy forum. People lost their minds, haha!

Didn’t Captain Disillusion already debunk this…?

I use Plex on my PS4. It runs great!

Most likely it was plantar fasciitis, which means that he just needed arch support. Same thing happened to me. I thought I was just cursed with sore feet forever until someone explained what it was and how simple it was to fix. It’s amazing what good arch support can do!

No.

Wish I could read the article, but I can’t seem to close the stupid pop-up (I’m using Lemmy)…

But I’m guessing it’s the real story dramatized here in “Fat Man and Little Bit.”

EDIT: Finally was able to read the article. I’m not sure why John Cusack’s character is made up in the movie, but he’s essentially a combination of the two scientists killed by the demon core.
