@HighGear79 @fshrzin @VALO2ASIA crg and kawa used to play for VN team in ASIAD 2023 iirc they had different views on strategies and how the games played out. crg was later invited for enc but kawa downplayed him as "unserious" and "not a patriot" which pissed crg and he decided to no longer work with kawa

@fshrzin @VALO2ASIA Gotcha bro

@CapRichard3 @jadel4w Very self-explanatory isn't it

@Roundzeroq @jadel4w So, in general, you're saying that every single videogame maker on the planet that's making more complex videogames than in the past taking longer, it's due to management. Everyone.

I’m going to discuss this from purely Gen AI art, not code or other tooling. I just see this narrative a lot and have been thinking about it since Epics concept video. Speed. Acceleration. Faster. I don’t understand why “it’s faster” has become the default justification for AI. Faster isn’t automatically better. The value of art has never been measured by the speed of its production. Instant ramen is faster than making it from scratch. We know it’s not better than made from scratch. Faster in crafting something rarely means something as good or better. There’s also a broader cultural issue. Every time we replace a professional artist with a tool because it’s quicker, we create fewer paid opportunities for people to develop into exceptional artists. The industry becomes more efficient at producing images, while becoming worse at producing artists. Critical thinking and creativity declines, so all we end up with is mass-produced meaningless art and a small workforce of diminished creatives. Worse yet the overall talent pool diminishes. This obsession with speed also reflects a wider trend in modern work: every technology promises to save us time, yet we’re rarely allowed to spend that saved time creating something better. Instead, we’re expected to produce more. If AI lets an artist make ten illustrations instead of one, the commercial incentive is usually to deliver ten, not to spend ten times longer refining the one that matters. The work loses meaning. Art occupies a strange place because, unlike manufacturing, the process itself has value. With art, the choices, craftsmanship and individual perspective are often what people are paying for. The output is the culmination of that process. Efficiency can increase output while reducing the very thing that makes creative work meaningful. We’re removing consideration whenever we remove a human from any part of the process. Yes there will be some higher quality projects, but I guarantee the most creative projects will always be made by those who reject AI art and master their crafts to create something with meaning. Before everyone comes in and says “yes but games is a business”. It is… and? Do we not laud beautiful games that are the peak of our craft? When the industry keeps laying people off do you really care to defend the business model games currently operates under? Do you only want microtransactions? Some of us don’t. And well crafted, authentic and creator loved media tends to be more marketable than corpo-slop.

@CapRichard3 @jadel4w Art takes time, but when the art's done but still continue to go through rounds of revision it's management.

@jadel4w You said that art takes time. I argue that art at modern AAA scales takes too much time for not much gains compared to couple of gens ago.

@Actar_Raikit @KRW_KRW_KRW If you looked into the recent Heisei Generations Ex Aid figure it was also plastic molded pink instead of pink metallic paint like the original

@KRW_KRW_KRW For some reason... Bandai seems to have an issue with metallic red plastic on their figures. Not sure if it's just the production process or an attempt to cut costs, but none of their recent figures have been able to pull it off, be it SHF Baron or Amazing Gummy.

A kids' building block set costs 70 RMB, while high-end articulated figures go for 1200 RMB. If its paintwork is no better than a children's toy, it deserves all the criticism.

@poellll reminded me of SCRT 1988 laser etched jeans- similar illustration I think

hatra gatekeeping just for the fit and slender (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

@Spicy_Psy_Duck I like the hair volume of Plamatea and Blokees, and in terms of hair color shading blokees really stood out to me, then again 30MP has the best shining latex suit.

Asuka: Plamatea vs 30MP vs SHF vs Blokees

@eugeniafirs It reminds me of Mike Nash works. This is soo awesome

Found this sitting in my gallery - one of the many abandoned personal projects. Feels dated now and that makes me feel good. Always loved to play with shapes on masks, helmets and such.

@ikkedairy @SuzyVLR Understand that cheating is part of Esports culture? Shocker

@SuzyVLR its vct korea, so you need to understand

Isn't this clearly written in the global rules? cdn.sanity.io/files/dsfx7636…

@zao_bu42450 @mangco__ @haven070 @VALO2ASIA If it’s become rampant and obvious enough, yeah obviously everyone is calling them out

@mangco__ @haven070 @VALO2ASIA Yeah, you guys didn't say a word when you beat the Korean team. Now that you've lost three games in a row, you start complaining that the Korean team cheated. Haha, can you please not be so embarrassing? 🤣 Being defeated 3-0 by T1 must be because the Korean team cheated. 😭😭

Head of VCT Pacific & VALORANT Esports APAC Jake Sin addressed the competitive integrity concerns, including reports of players' headsets not fully covering their ears, audible Korean caster audio, and others in Kickoff: "Hey everyone, I know there has been a lot of discussion recently about the competitive integrity concerns raised by members of our league. I wanted to let you all know that the investigations have already been ongoing since these issues first emerged. We take these claims very seriously, as they pertain to the competitive integrity of our league, so we are investigating them as comprehensively as possible. While I understand it can be frustrating not to see immediate action, I ask for your patience as we examine the situation thoroughly. It's incredibly important to us that our members feel comfortable and safe to raise concerns. However, it’s equally important that any assertions of competitive integrity breaches are reported directly to league officials with substantiated evidence so we can collaborate closely to address them effectively and quickly. Let's work together to uphold competitive integrity and facilitate positive change for our sport. Thank you for your understanding, passion, and support."

@awayanxiety @hambabitter @Jemkin1 Adding trash at the end doesn’t help a thing. Unfair competition is unfair no matter how low or large it affects it. That being Tier 1 is inexcusable

@hambabitter @Jemkin1 Its about the quality overall that makes the game become unknowingly unfair. For example, if one can't hear the omen ult or someone going through trips (i.e., dependent on comps) and get fucked by those, one side obviously suffers more compared to the other. but rrq trash

@3sdaud38 @teamrrqofficial @nsr_valorant Damn what did RRQ do to you, kidnap your mum

@teamrrqofficial @nsr_valorant hope you lose in the middle and lower bracket you dissgusting bums honestly why even go to five maps if that is wtf you are going to do in the fifth map buums

Not our day, but the journey continues. We move to the Middle Bracket, reset, and come back stronger. GG @nsr_valorant ! Thank you for standing with us, but we’re not done yet. 💛🔥 #RRQValorant #VIVARRQ

@Evanylaaa This is for game mostly right, if it's 3d model for movies/vfx they would prefer chains in geo which is heeeeavy to process

*Slaps geometry* Look how much detail can be baked onto the lowpoly

@Evanylaaa when it's over 7 minutes you know it's time for a PC upgrade lol
