@ES_DE_Frontend Used to do this all the time. It either works really nicely on an asset (like those letters in the title) or horribly (like on Mario). Ultimately, pixel art requires interpretation at some level. This filter is a form of interpretation, just not a consistently good one.

In the early days of emulators especially with snes9x the one thing I didnt look for was accuracy, i wanted to make it look super smooth with those filters like super Sai and scaleFX. Now the thought of using something like that horrifies me. Is this just me?

@DreamMixGames @ES_DE_Frontend Crazy accurate

@ES_DE_Frontend The was DLSS for retro games

@supermariomovie What even is this movie anymore? 😂

Let's rock and roll! Fox McCloud joins The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, only in theaters April 1. Get tickets now.

@mjarbo @chrizmillr *chad

Sorry @philiplord and @chrizmillr I cannot, in good conscious, support #projecthailmary after Andy Weir went on a stream with noted chud Critical Drinker. For years this man has tried to destroy everything that you guys stand for, and to give him a pass like that is a bridge too far.

@Etihw_Retlaw87 @shitpost_2077 This game came out in 2011

@shitpost_2077 This game uses AI btw

@heyshipz The Final Fantasy 1 remake on GBA had tons of these in the bonus dungeons.

What game is this?

@shitpost_2077 The Linux installer on there got me 😂

@Nellies_Nest Nah I liked it

Harfder than it looks to make an upside face palm look correct LOL ANYWAY THE art is a LIL simpler in this one as I felt super tired today, SOZ everyone will be back to peak form tomorrow heh.-

Part 4 - I think once again my favourite yet Teehee

@coookwithchris @VeraSaltCo @Oliva_Dorado_ Close enough, welcome back tzatziki

Making a simple Greek chicken marinade to throw on the grill later The finest ingredients as usual🤌🏼

@TRHLofficial The Greeks get together for Easter services and walk the streets with lit candles, each lighting off one another. Can't say they're harmless, though. I've seen some singed hairs. I guess Baltimore is far from hallowed ground 😂

Have you heard of The Holy Fire miracle? It’s Greek Orthodox. Beautiful symbolism whether or not it’s real.

@MarioBrothBlog Reminds me of GBA game crashes. Those always sounded like a robot crunching on shards of glass and nails.

In Mario Kart Wii, crashing the game and activating the crash handler will eventually start playing back the contents of the Wii's RAM as sound. Since the data was never intended to be interpreted like this, it ends up sounding like experimental harsh noise music.

@ZubyMusic @mysteriouskat Seconded, it's Zuby.

@mysteriouskat Me.

Are there any media personalities or "influencers" with large followings who have actually remained consistent, honest, grounded, nuanced, and not just turned into rage farmers?

@coookwithchris I've made this recipe scaled up x6 for a while with good results. Does melt pretty quickly out of freezer though, so tried a variant with 1 whole egg and 5 egg yolks to see if it binds better. So far seems good, but there were some other variables. Wanna try it again to be sure.

How to make the best (and healthiest) raw milk ice cream: Base: -1/4 cup raw cream -1/4 cup raw milk -1 egg yolk Vanilla: -2 tbsp pure maple syrup -Freshly scraped vanilla bean (or vanilla paste or extract) Chocolate: -2 tbsp pure maple syrup -2 tbsp cacao powder -Cacao nibs on top Honeycomb: -2 tbsp raw honey -Big chunk of honeycomb If you really want to take it up a notch, add a splash of raw colostrum as well. Regular milk/cream is also fine! Blend ingredients well, then add to ice cream maker This makes one moderate serving, but just scale up as needed

@TheRedDragon Strawman. Sucky art existing doesn't mean you don't lose artistic vision when putting this over non-sucky art.

No DLSS 5 for me...I must have 'The Artists Vision' 👇

@MrAwolf Do it, game looks neat

So, we are our first cycle of play testing! I was thinking of maybe doing a live stream of me playing it. would this be of interest? I have not streamed anything for years. Indiedev.

@IndieGameJoe I think the bit at the end labeling it a "genius mechanic" leads people there. It's natural to want to give credit where credit is due when something's been done already, and it's also natural to want to give credit when it's done again well. Especially by a smaller team.

Edit: And just because something “has been done” before… does that mean we shouldn’t try our own take? Of course not. That’s literally how art works. We build on what inspires us.

This indie dev is making a game where you can literally play as Ancient Egyptian wall art. - Switch between a 3D archaeologist and living 2D art - Survive puzzles that fight back - Progress by mastering both worlds It’s called Fresco. This mechanic is genius.

@Grummz I'm not a big anti AI guy but this only looks decent in screenshots. It's jarring in motion.

Nvidia introduces DLSS 5.0 Complete AI makeover for your game, running in real time.

@Scratch_Point_Z Yeah I mean there's definitely discussion to be had as to whether it's funny (I never really hated or loved those moments, just kinda middle of the road for me) but to object to its existence for a moral reason is to pretend the work is preaching that everyone be like Roshi.

How does a character in a fictional story written a particular way not "age well"? This type of criticism doesn't even make sense, it has nothing to do with the passage of time itself. If an element of story is bad or poorly written, it always was. People like this simply cannot think outside of the modern mainstream consciousness & retroactively apply rapidly changing standards to everything from yesteryear, acting as though suddenly nothing from the past that falls outside of that perpetually moving line is acceptable anymore. Nothing can survive the ever-evolving ideological purity test. Good art doesn't magically become bad just because society changed gears. Roshi often gets punished for his antics anyway. It's comic relief, not a moral lesson.

@MisterCask Holy shit the NieR music is perfect here
