  I’m sad people seem to be giving flak for this. Regardless of your opinion on current AI tools, they definitely lower some barriers, which can result in more things getting made because of lower risk.

  A good game will be good regardless of where an art asset came from, and some people really care about not buying AI utilizing games. Labeling only scares people peddling low effort crap.

  If you’re looking for a way to not use ai for portrait art, one thing you can do is leverage combinations in your favor. Draw 10 noses, 10 mouths, 10 shirt collars, 10 hairstyles and so on. When you need a new character, paste together your pre-fab pieces at random , pallet swap the colors randomly and then touch up the details.

  I thought the same thing about the steam deck and it turned out to be entirely fine.
  This is basically cutting the screen out of a steamdeck so I’m pretty excited for a good controller.

  I thought the same thing, but per it’s suggestion I tried using it for fine tuning on the steam deck and I was pleasantly surprised. I’d never use it for for large motions, but on a game designed with mouse motion in mind it can be a little tricky to get those fine motions locked in.
  I tried with portal and it made it a lot easier to get little adjustments lined up that were tricky without it. Since it exclusively kicked in when I wanted it to it wasn’t as wacky as a lot of gyro controls are for games that focus on them, and I think it was as simple as “press your thumb a bit more roundly onto the joystick”.

  It’s not going to supplant the mouse for fast precise motions, but it at least means you can skip the wild overcorrection that sometimes happens with joystick on unoptimized configurations.

  They look like they’re in about the same position or lower than the sticks in the steam deck.
  I’m guessing it’s a little lower since there’s no screen in the middle so your hands are angled together a little more.

  The notion of getting a special edition white one, then swapping the shell to a custom black is funny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC to vote to restore net neutrality rules, reversing Trump⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Democrats were stymied for nearly three years because they did not take majority control of the five-member FCC until October.

  Basically they didn’t because Republicans, and then when they could they immediately started the process, since the initial vote was in October and the upcoming vote is to confirm the finalized rules changes.

  There’s also okular. Basically anything that the kde foundation puts out will invariably be cross platform and pretty good.
