K-On! fudges a little, but it is at least plausible why Yui is good so quickly: avoiding studying at all costs.

SUMIMASEN, HIGHBALL は DOKO DESU KA?

I'm wondering who the Bart Harley Jarvis is in the Sendai Baby Racing Circuit.

Does it still have the constant yelling/encouragement that leaves you both exhausted and wondering how it came to this?

The jacket for "Okome no oishii takikata, soshite okome wo taberu koto ni yoru sono kouka", a song that is about making and eating delicious rice.

finally a new genre for these guys

IF YOUR GAME IS STRONG, GIVE ME A CALL BOO

Takadanobaba Mikado Game Center is great, as is the sister location in Ikebukuro. Lots of rare stuff I haven't played anywhere else.

Loved the Cup Noodles Museum, it's just funny to make your own ramen.

Also always recommend Nara, deer that assault you for snacks are fun.

I like what I have read/played so far, but this game physically hurts my wrists after only five minutes. It lives up to the advertising.

Thumper really gave me an appreciation for Existential Dread in my twisting track music games.

An image showing the original render for the song "EMEA" on the left labeled "DLSS 5 Off", and a manipulated image showing a hypothetical "DLSS 5 On" version on the right. Anubis is now female, with added human lips and eyes. A realistic picture and sky is added to the background, and the lighting is now very high contrast.

I've already implemented it into my workflows and I'm getting amazing results. It's like it anticipated what I wanted the final art direction to be without me ever thinking of it.

Should be Blender 5.0.1

I never did a good job with the waist jacket so it's excluded, but here's the model I made for Forever Now's StepManiaX video: drive.google.com/file/d/1Frlg...

I'll never say "john madden" as well as DECTalk

I ran into the same thing, and it turns out the rim lighting is shockingly simple: It's just an offset of the alpha of the original texture with a threshold to exclude the darkest parts, and then that gets added back with a blending strength of your choice.

I'd steal a little from synthtet, where you focus on one minor part of production and show what something sounds like with and without a change. A good example would be taking a known song of yours and showing why glides and bends matter. Would be both educational and a look behind the scenes.

I'm in a weird place that while I don't consider the raw sound itself to be art or human created, because a human provided the context to present the piece, that gives it the barest definition of art. Basically, if you consider a banana taped to a wall to be art, this begrudgingly is as well.

How I make my music! (Sonic Riders intro) YouTube video by Severed Soul

One guy who was/is notorious for AI sonic music did actually explain his process, and it’s kind of sad because you know he could be good if he put in a little more time and believed in himself youtu.be/GCsoGqlWu-0?...

This is typically the biggest giveaway that my naive hope isn’t very common. If people thought they were making something great and personal with AI tools, they wouldn’t be hiding it, they would be celebrating it as a part of who they are.

I feel this way because I felt I was cheating with nothing but loops when I started writing things in middle school, but by letting the "cheats" open me up to the idea that maybe I could do what I was dreaming, it eventually got me to the point where I could. I naively hope AI could do the same.

At this point I have stopped trying to have an objective line and have settled on the very subjective "I don't like AI production because it's not fun." Some will find it fun. I'm mildly optimistic from early adopters hitting a wall that some will find the manual process for themselves eventually.

So to bring this back to any music production: how much of the final product has to be made by the artist to actually count as production? I remember similar debates about sampling from decades ago since you aren't writing everything. Now it's celebrated as homage, but that wasn't always accepted.

I can't really answer for people using it to generate the entire product, but I do think the line is blurry for what counts as artistic process. Case in point from Corridor's newest video on green screen: I don't think anyone feels like an artist separating out video subjects, it's just tedious.

I don’t think she’s figured out a new, innovative form for fraud to get herself there.

From our awards show three months ago. Congrats to Xbox!

Good for me considering I color match between multiple screens by just eyeballing and hoping for the best at the end.

also everyone with an iPhone has had a fantastic starting point included for the last 13 years. The best song I wrote for my first visual novel was written on iOS Garageband.
