There was a fully AI movie in China recently that had 10 000 screenings on opening day. It made $180 000 at the theater.

At the same time, another movie, made by 2 people (one guy and his mother), with shoe string VFX for I believe somewhere around $500 or less, grossed $10M

Now I believe the latter example became a meme over there and that drove a lot of people to go out and see it but still, shows what people would rather watch. There's always something charming to see someone actually trying to make something, even if that thing is really questionable when it comes to quality.

This is also probably why people have a tendency to be drawn towards movies that are so bad they're good. It's that feeling that someone actually put effort into something that they were truly passionate about that draws a lot of people.

You really don't see that at all with movies that are bad on purpose. I think most people can sense when it was a genuine effort.

Anyway, that applies to bad VFX vs AI as well.

Yeah it is...by proxy for sure but it's still theft. If someone stole a car, and gave it to you...you know the car is stolen but you still take it.

Is that theft? Spoiler: yes, it is.

Wow...you have no idea how AI is trained, do you?

Maybe? Doesn't matter, I'd rather watch some content that is rough but made with passion rather than some slop that someone generated with a prompt.

Any day.

I didn't watch but really? 34 minutes to explain how to set a couple variables?

What is OP rambling about in this video?

Edit = also good to remember that if you enable proton Wayland, you lose the ability to use Steam Input and the Steam Overlay.

Something that is rarely mentioned but pretty important to know depending on your setup (if you use a Steam Controller for example).

Huh? Why would you need to learn Python to troubleshoot problems in Linux?

Looks like you went for the same solution I did. I also made a script that listens to a specific controller input (LR+LB+select+A in my case). When that shortcut is pressed, it runs the scripts that disables the monitor, enable the TV and launch Steam Big Picture.

And I have another script that automatically re-enable the monitor and disable the TV once Steam exits.

That way, I don't have to get my fat ass off the couch when I want to play a game on the TV.

Bonus if your controller can handle waking up your computer from sleep, you could also set the computer to go to sleep when exiting Steam (only when running for the TV)...that way you also save a bit on the bills.

Sadly for me only the dock supports that for some reason so if I set that up, the computer goes to sleep and then immediately wakes up as soon as I put the controller back on the dock T_T

Nah, use a stable distro like Debian, Ubuntu or Mint. No point using a rolling distro for those use case.

Holy crap, different movie but I went to see Fresh Meat recently. One night screening only. The one chance to see it in the theater and the dude next to me commented every scene to himself for the entire movie.

Like not loud, pretty quiet...but once you hear it it's just impossible to not get distracted by it.

Well I think there's a valid concern about AI and art honestly. I personally understand why people are angry, especially at a professional level.

I do game dev as a hobby but work in VFX in my day job, and more and more, the reality is setting in that I might not be needed anymore at some point as companies are looking deeper and deeper into AI "tools" that would cut off as many job as possible.

As a hobbyist, I don't really care. As a professional, I'm not delusional enough to think that companies aren't looking into using that tech as more than a simple tool.

And I know people are going to say that they'd know if something uses AI to create art, but the reality is that most companies already do replace artists, and almost none of them disclose it.

Looking at the nexus page, it seems to be just a matter of dropping the files in the game directory.

Your game directory should be in ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common

And then you'll have to change the target in the Steam properties of the game to point to the ds3sc_launcher.exe file in that same directory.

I don't know if this mod works on Linux but if it does, this should be how to install it. Pretty much the same as Windows but the directory is in a different location.

Edit = if you don't want to change the original launcher in Steam, you can add a new non steam game in Steam and point it to the .exe file of the mod. That way you still have access to both solo and coop version of the game. Just don't forget to set the Proton version in the properties otherwise it won't launch, obviously.

Oh you're on SteamOS. Have you tried launching the game from desktop mode?

When running in gaming mode, the whole session runs inside gamescope so you can't disable it.

What steps did you take to disable gamescope? Since you said you think you disabled it, we should probably make sure you actually disabled it.

I don't use gamescope anymore but I remember that if I didn't set the proper refresh rate (with the -r flag in the gamescope arguments) corresponding to the refresh rate of my monitor, I would end up with similar stuttering.

I mean looking at that frametime graph, that can't be a good experience T_T

Preference? Back then I switched from Hyprland to Niri because the config syntax changed one too many times and that started to annoy me to open my computer with a message telling me there was an error with my config every time Hyprland received an update.

And now I'm just comfortable with the work flow so I don't want to change back.

Also for laptop with smaller screen, I don't see the value in a tiling wm, so Niri is just better for me.

I only used AI for stuff that are really out there that I only need to do once. Like a script to automate the Switch between my monitor and my TV when it comes to gaming for example. I used AI for that.

When comes to troubleshooting, I like to actually learn the steps that direct me to finding the actual problem myself.

I know that if I use AI for that, I will never learn and will always have to rely on AI every single time a little problem pops up, and it's more a waste of time than anything else.

This is generally what I don't like about AI honestly, the massive over reliance on it that leads to people with 3~4 years of experience on Linux still not being able to do the simplest things by themselves. Well that and obviously all the usual controversial AI usages and consequences.

They're pretty much the same length

Half an hour T_T I've been hitting my head against a wall for like 4 hours now =')

We all went there, it will get better and you will find someone really awesome don't worry.

Yup, it's highly contagious.
I did hear that if you suck another one, it will be transmitted to that person and you will be straight again.

I'm kinda confused honestly...what does being a rolling distro have to do with security updates?
It's not like you'll stop receiving security updates if you're on a stable distro.

The speed at which you receive them obviously depends on the distro, but just because one receive it a bit later than another doesn't the former is not a rolling distro.

What was the problem exactly? Didn't have any issue with this one but since updating to 7.3.0-4 this morning, I had 2 hard crashes while playing games (full computer reboot).

And that's a problem so not a reason to contribute to it.

I'd rather a game that has not so good handmade art rather than a game using AI generated assets.
If I see AI in the description of a game, I will never even try it, let alone buy it.

Stop pretending, it's legit pathetic at this point and I'd feel bad if I were you.
