I knew you were italian as soon as I read that lol. Basically my uni life too

Oddly specific... What are you doing OP? Should we be worried? Honestly "faster than light" travel is already too generic: do you mean going actually FTL or breaking the space barrier with wormholes or space displacement shenanigans that "look like" FTL? That said, Earth destroyed in a few decades because of the research or the PRODUCTION of such method? A little bit of context would made answering this question way more interesting...

Isn't that his own hand putting that "jacket" aside to let her feel his abs?

I love reading about people not knowing the EU military industry writing about how it's somehow weak. Newsflash: it's not. We don't talk or write about it 'cause it's sensitive data. We protect sensitive data. Our armies may not be strong, but our military industry is.

That's kinda fallacious as an argument. AI cannot create good code, it CAN be used to create code, but requires.expert to fix the tons of mistakes and simply bad coding solutions it comes up with. If you don't have the skills it's better to use a tool made to help you with that with its limitations (rpg maker in your example) rather than use a tool made to aid already expert users (that even they say it actually creates more work for them lol). I write code myself and LLMs simply suck at coding. They can create "art" but it's all the same and you can spot it on their steam page when they do. Honestly, I'm not even angry at them for thinking the same way as you do: it's just that those coding solutions are advertised as such, and people are simply ignoring the expert in the field that tell them they can't actually do that. If you try that road you will either create something that doesn't work or something that will put its users at risk (by creating trojan backdoors in theor system or sharing sensitive information) and that's something I can't simply condone.

Yep, it was a PR stunt to show how tough they are to "criminals".

I doubt we will get there. It's not the same situation. You don't only get more money and stability, you also get services and better quality of life overall. Imagine you live in italy: pay a lot of taxes and have broken roads, trash everywhere, public transportation with high record absenteism so basically working half the time but for some reasons record high number of politicians and their salary is also record high. Meanwhile if you want to do research/teach you get the lowest wages in the EU, you look for jobs and everyone wants to hire you off the books, government keeps cutting healtcare/pensions... Especially if you learned another language you yend to run as far away from here, you may get up to 5 times your salary in italy and do what you actually wanna work on, and live better too. You may have to pay more taxes, but you'll be able to afford it and get something in return too. Funny enough you could even have vacations in your own country since you'll now be able to afford it lol

You are not slow. It's that people don't know what mozzarella looks like so they think it's the dried shredded one they put on the pizza. Like thinking that coffe comes directly as a drink or calamari are ring shaped...

Perfectly reasonable, but at the same time a little naive. Let's shift the focus on your future customers. What you say is true: artists are expensive and having proper art for your work can be costly. I mean, it's not entirely true cause young artists are not that expensive but you want very good art for your game and I can understand that.

Now, you may use gen AI to get all your art and voices. Are you sure your customers wanted that? Are you sure they wanna see all those "something's off" portraits and that will be the deciding factor for your game? If your game is good and fun even crappy art will sell it (look at touhou). Isn't it better to work on the actual game with placeholder art and look for a young artist when you have the finished product instead of wasting your time fiddling with settings and prompts on a genAI?

I mean, you do you. I'm not against AI as a tool, but don't assume people will like your game more if you plaster it with AI art. It's like coloring your sketch with stickers. The stickers may be good quality, but it will still look like a messy puzzle...

I mean, that would kick out more than just Italy.

As a european working in the weapon industry, I love reading american people thinking we make no weapons or the weapons we make are worse. We even sold some ships to the US lol. American military is the best, but not necesarily for quality, but for the sheer amount (aka quantity) coming from how much money you put in there. And a lot of money is spent buying other systems...

All while the anime industry was booming in the west. It's funny how entertainment for young people is planned by old people. Then they get surprised when ghey flop

Lol, only a crazy country would allow that

That was so high level it went past most of them. Take my upvote

I mean, the recent discoveries actually do not dispute most of the previous theories. Most of the time the old theories are fringe cases where some parameters are simplified so you get the new theory that is actually a general case of the classical one. It's not like our old formulas stop working when we discover new cases...

Getting pissed at tourist because you lie and say something is not mandatory when it actually is such a fun hyperbole to read. Especially since they are not there to visit the country. They couldn't care less about culture of the US. They are there to watch football (yah, not soccer) and it just so happens the world cup is there lmao. I hate football and I'm so glad I don't feel the need to go to such a worker exploiting country...

I mean, George could't even edit his first film right and got way too much help from who was around him. When he got famous and nobody could talk down to him his movies got meh at best... and jar jar at worst

I love that this is exactly what he said, but you say that you are with his parents on this.

Either that or a space marine

Me, a male reading mostly manhwa of the romance fantasy genre where 99% of it have female protagonists: yeah, this is not talking about me. This kind of discussions are more about creating conflict rather than understanding. If people have time to start fights about the sex of the characters they have no interest in the story itself. Statistics on who is drawn more are kinda useless...
