Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What did you like about the film *The Breakfast Club* (1985) and with which characters could you identify, and why?English
1·7 hours agoI loved it but I couldn’t resonate with a single character. I guess what takes me out of it is that, I’ve not once ever been with a group of so many distinct personalities that just got along together in some way or fashion. It just wasn’t my kind of school and what I grew up with.
And I do remember the scene that I believe has been cut in many releases since, about when Bender was looking between Claire’s legs. I think it cuts a chunk of it when he was getting closer and closer, made her make a sound and then when the principal left, Bender got up and she started beating on him.

9·1 day agoI…um…this timeline has gotten worse in the worst possible way.
I’m at a loss for words.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What movies out there have horrible taste and poorly thought-out plots but were excellently executed?English
2·2 days agoIt was the only honest one of the whole bunch. The rest were just drenched in Bay’s style.

Games@lemmy.world•DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancementEnglish
10·3 days agoYou know, I don’t particularly care about having the need to see every freaking pore on someone’s model. I hate graphic purists.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think of the expression "basic knowledge"?English
3·3 days agoIt’s yet another subjective thing because it varies from person to person. Basic Knowledge from Person 1 will say “common sense, simple math” and Person 2 will say “manners and developing respect”. I mean, it’s everywhere.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your overall opinion on generative AI?English
3·3 days agoIt has its uses. It’s just ruined by the bad apples of people who’ve long have had malicious intent where if you put anything that was intended for a good purpose in front of them, they’d ruin that for everyone.
For example, when there are things I do not know about like objects, I can take a picture of it, direct and show ChatGPT by asking what it is and it’ll tell me. It’s convenient to talk to an LLM to understand phrases, slang, slurs and their history about them in real time. I also have enjoyed using it to fix and enhance images that my phone’s piss-poor autofocus fucks up on with some images.
I think what really ruins AI is that, select people and companies are way too heavily reliant. It is not a solve-everything tool. It is not something you go to about everything, like mental therapy. It is not something you should be using to cheat on homework, to have it help you with getting by in colleges and school that rely on your own problem solving skills to navigate.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think of Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy?English
351·4 days agoI felt that they were the most definitive Batman movies we’ll get for a while. I don’t think it was fair for people to uphold Dark Knight Rises against the Dark Knight, because the bar was already set high. It was all a nice breath of fresh air to have a series of movies that didn’t play up to a lot of fan service like the MCU did.
To this day though, I really don’t like how growling Batman got when he spoke. What was up with that? Give him a freaking cough drop.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you consider as "unworthy moments" in your life?English
2·4 days agoShitty apps on your car’s dashboard taking forever to load, like Android Auto. Google Maps too. God forbid I wanted to try learning a new route and see where it went to get to a destination, they both took so long and I didn’t want an accident that I caved going the familiar routes.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone else find 'pseudoanimation' annoying?English
11·6 days agoI don’t. When they’re used to progress articulation of what they’re talking about, it’s a need.
What would you prefer? Minutes and minutes of text? Did you expect full fledged movies?

Games@lemmy.world•The studio behind Star Wars Zero Company, which is currently a Steam bestseller, has reportedly furloughed the majority of its staffEnglish
4·6 days agoUnfortunately, you’re not the demographic the industry is looking for. What they want now is obedient, but expendable staff who’ll only be on long enough to see a project done. Then you’re discarded. The other pocket of people they’d want is, you know what type.
You’re better of being your own independent video game worker.

58·6 days agoThis whole industry is job security hell. Man, people decades ago dreamed of being somewhere in the industry. I don’t really know now who’d want to be in it knowing how awful job security even is.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever spent Christmas alone? Why and how was it?English
1·6 days agoIt depresses me that decorating isn’t the same when there isn’t anybody to enjoy it with. Like why bother? The stuff is temporary, most of it will be donated or thrown away.
I think this year I’ll take an entire week off from work and just enjoy the nurture of eggnog while doing what I want.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are you staunch in your convictions? If so, do you wish you weren't?English
2·6 days agoI’m pretty flexible with a lot of my perspectives in views, because it helps me see a lot of angles. The problem starts is when someone wants to ruin that fun by trying to convert me into their way of thinking.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think is a fair length of time for copyright?English

Games@lemmy.world•Despite Steam's concerning domination over the market, one of the things that I love about it is the ability to continually comment on other people's Steam reviews.English
1·8 days agoI hate how steam reviews have turned into yet more soapboxes to get political over than reviewing the games themselves.
Why should I care about how you feel about a publisher when you reviewed one of their older games just to project your opinion?

Games@lemmy.world•Despite Steam's concerning domination over the market, one of the things that I love about it is the ability to continually comment on other people's Steam reviews.English
1·8 days agoSame. Especially after I’ve had shithead trolls from Steam Forums shit all over my reviews to where I went through the process of tediously re-posting 120 reviews. Yeah, real pieces of work the people are in those forums.

Technology@lemmy.world•Debian votes to allow 'responsible use of generative AI'English

Don’t be afraid to take it to ChatGPT and ask it. Because you’re asking for something awfully specific.
