Certainly not.
The first time I read how to make thermite, smoke bombs, etc… I definitely was too young to fully work out the ramifications of my actions.
With that said: how many people ignore warnings that are clearly posted? That’s a human flaw. It’s not age gated. Needing to see for ourselves that the stove is hot sometimes is the only way we learn. Acknowledging this - does it mean we shouldn’t provide the knowledge because somone may do something stupid? I don’t believe that should be the case.
In short: people are going to do dumb shit - but I don’t think that means we need to over engineer the world to protect them from themselves.

Considering the other content he’s produced I’d say this guy at least understands pressure reasonably well. The crab reference is a nod to the scary shit pressure can do to … Living things. (There’s some really nsfl shit out there on the topic.)
- Comment on Making a 3d-printed Underwater Dive Helmet With A Floating Air Supply 2 days ago:
I’d give him credit for explaining (frequently) how dangerous what he is doing is… and frankly his willingness to quite literally showcase what the result of the badness can be.
Too few channels do either. And there’s some wildly dangerous shit posted daily that is over-edited and rarely even touches on the very real dangers of what they showcase. It gives the illusion of safety to people who likely don’t understand the science / risks.
- Comment on Making a 3d-printed Underwater Dive Helmet With A Floating Air Supply 2 days ago:
Considering how willingly he comments on the badness that can happen… And the fact he actually pressure tests his builds AND does the math … I’d say he’s a far cry from a company that pressure tests their builds with passengers. Live. Breifly.
I appreciate his content. Its interesting and hearkens back to old youtube content before it became a glorified ad stream. Its a dude doing a thing and taking you along for the ride. If you are entertained? Cool. If you learned something? So much the better.

This game is still one of my snes favorites. Banger soundtrack. Easy to pick up and put down - and was a perfect example of “easy to learn, but hard to master.”
I still recommend it to people who play retro games to this day.

Let’s face it. Windows search couldn’t find shit before - what’s a few more hallucinations?

I haven’t needed to insult you yet. Why would I? You, by your actions and responses have been more than sufficient. I just pointed it out.
The hope was to drive home that parroting (ey! callbacks) an opinion that isn’t yours isn’t wanted or useful.
And I know, I know - you don’t read much:
I didnt read your posts.
So let’s use your words to have fun:
I think its funny that you keep talking to yourself. You probably feel like you need the last reply too.
I think it’s funny knowing how many times you’ve set yourself up in this thread. See that quote? That’s me using your words as bait.
I could just copy and paste your own quote repeatedly and you’d either be compelled to respond - making yourself that exact thing… Or being the one that was forced out of the exchange: beaten with your own words.
So… Polly want a cracker? 🦜

That was obvious from the go. That’s exactly why I said you were dull and made the comment that you let somone else read things and tell you what to think. I appreciate the confirmation.
Maybe you can save even more time by not bothering to post next time too.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 2 months ago:
Cheers. Hopefully you learned something. I’ll admit I had a giggle at the situation when I noticed your username.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 2 months ago:
Maybe I do. Who’s to say - unless you want to tell me what I do again?
Its been rare to see somone so utterly dismantled that their only response is to repeat the observation I made at the end of that thrashing. It is almost comical how you just set yourself up for a callback to the parroting and echo chamber comments.
In closing:
Even if I did have a blog, I think it’s apparent, by now, you’d just wait for somone else to read it and tell you what to think.

Oh cool, now I’m an irrational person who reacts quickly. Thats a good start.
The full body of your response disregarded the core meaning of what I was saying. You didn’t understand something but just powered on through with your opinion. Which if we can appreciate the irony:
You, like many, are looking to burn a company at the stake over what I would clearly describe as a very polished product… Over an asset that, they mistakenly left in. Can you comprehend how batshit insane that is?
My response was measured and pretty on the nose I’d say.
Do you even know the point you are trying to make? You make a bunch of preconceptions and then claim you won’t do that, so thats fun too.
Considering the consistency in what I’ve said in this thread … I’d say I do. As far as me making preconceptions: again I’d recommend you take a look at what I wrote and read it again. (We have a trend developing) I gave my reasons: and I provided the logic behind it. But if you’d like to drag this out: go ahead and show me what my “preconceptions” were. I’ll wait.
You can keep writing nonsense arguments all you want, you aren’t an artist and should probably do what you said and shutup instead of making a bunch of assumptions.
I posted facts, I provided commentary on them, and even provided an example as a parallel. You, by your own words: didn’t understand the example (and made no attempt to), you ignored the nuance of the commentary, and preceded to put your ignorance on full display here.
And apparently you want to complete this nonsense by implying you know me or what I do. I dont recall knowing anyone as dull as you that suffered a headwound … But I’ll jog your memory:
Staring with the key topic:
I’ve signed more NDAs and non-competes for multiple, well known, gaming companies … Than years you’ve existed on this planet. So let’s just say I have “some” industry knowledge.
You mentioned I’m not an artist: another bold claim but… Its broad so let’s cover the bases.
I started my career in design. I’ve worked with 5 color printing presses. I’ve been paid for my work, although digital art, which has been seen by “roughly a country of people” around '04. Not enough for you? I maintain a circle of artist friends, who - over time have filled my home and consequently one of my closets with their works. I am honored and grateful that I’d be trusted with someone’s original blood sweat and tears condensed into a single medium. I’d be forgiven, I think, for speaking on their behalf. If not? They know my handle - they have my number - and know where I live…
They can @ me and tell me to shut up. You can’t.
I could go on but I think I’ve made my point sufficiently in this long post. Go crawl back to the echo chamber from whence you came. If you are capable of critical thought - it has yet to be demonstrated.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 2 months ago:
What does NASA have to do with the creation of art? Art and science are not the same thing. What might be good for progress technologically, like flying to the moon, might not be good for a different field.
Reread the comment instead of irrationally reacting before you understand the context. Calculators used to be people. Literally. It was a job. I brought up NASA as an example because, very famously, their “calculators” were part of history… So it should have been well known enough for people to see the parallel. But then I guess ever since moving to digital boards for math we can just downplay all subsequent achievments because the scientists didnt work hard enough.
Art is all about the time and energy spent. If Clair Obscure came out of an AI machine that took 3 minutes to create it, most people wouldn’t play it and it wouldn’t have won any awards.
If I’m not mistaken those artists’ art was well recieved. I find it interesting that so many people seem intent on defining a world they aren’t part of. Wacom tablets are tools, are digital artists not real artists because they don’t use paper?
Know any artists? I know quite a few. I wouldn’t dare inject my preconceptions on their process. Who the fuck am I to tell somone what is or isn’t part of their process. Traditional media, music, …even architects use tools to help iterate on their ideas - and their lives are easier for it.
But please, explain to the class why your ideals supercede their own.
Cutting corners or “saving time and energy” is the opposite of exploring creatively, and these tools are not capable of unique thought or inspiration.
Speaking for everyone? That’s bold. Is that your process or are you just a bobblehead parroting what someone else told you to say?
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 2 months ago:
AI as a monolithic “thing” is bullshit. Fugazi. We relabled a ton of tools like OCR and other pattern recognition engines: “AI” to capitalize on the sheer stupidity of the average investor. Artificial intelligence indeed.
I digress. Tools save time and energy. If a team can prototype a space and become more immersed in their project faster and with less effort - so much the better.
I’m for tools as effort multipliers. My initial statement implied as much. I don’t see us running back to rooms full of women doing math at NASA and discarding the digital equivalent.
Look - everyone is absolutely sick of “AI” being jammed into everything. I get the raw response to it… But the concern isn’t about renamed tools; it’s not about a glorified chatbot being an “ok” facsimile. No company would spend billions on that. No - they are spending billions on a product that they could care less if it could reason. If by some chance they could make an automiton that was good enough… That could work without stopping, with no rights, for free: Its slavery. Literally they are gambling everything on a shot at replacing every single worker they currently employ. That is short sighted, ignorant, bullshit… which deserves all the hate it gets and more. But that - ain’t this.

Look I’ve seen the hours those studios and devs put into design… If they want to prototype using a tool? Nobody’s losing a job over that. Its a couple hours saved from doom scrolling though your existing assets looking for something temporary.
Yeah, it slipped out though the cracks. But then how many games are loaded with “Unintended Easter eggs” because people are human. I don’t get it. The event is no more novel than finding an untextured brick off the beaten trail or a picture of a dev left in following an in joke amongst the team.
