Im an artist working in games, and I absolutely agree. Lots of people think art in games needs to be "good" without knowing what that actually means. It's a lot more important that your art is coherent. Having coherent shapes and colors can do a lot. For example, just by choosing a color palette alone, you can create art that works pretty well.

Setting up any limitation will automatically create the coherence for a project. And you can go pretty minimalistic, too. Don't understand colors and light? Go black and white or sepia. Don't know about shapes? Use only one or two and design anything around it.

One problem with AI is that it doesn't use limitation as a tool and isn't able to contain detail. An indie developer who is inexperienced in art and able to manage their expectations doesn't have this problem. They can create naturally game art because they only know one way to approach it.

    My conspiracy theory take is that Israel has a lot of leverage in cybersecurity that's why a lot of countries don't want to take Action.

    Holy shit. What happened to this game? I remember the first one as an intriguing journey where you come across new worlds to find out what happened to your homeworld and your friends.

    Now it looks like a superhero movie with a way to complex character setup.

    Might be unpopular, but I think it's a fair cut. They provide a Plattform to anyone, and indiegames regularly outperform AAA. You don't need huge publishers to succeed if your game is fun. I don't think that would be possible with epic at the top.

    My mainboard is an msi b450 Mortar Max. Until recently, I used a pretty small gpu, which left enough space for my network adapter to fit in the pcie 3x4.

    I upgraded my gpu this winter, but there was only space in the second pcie 2.0x16, which (probably) doesn't provide enough lanes. That's why wifi stopped working, and bluetooth started to become buggy.

    Now I was playing around with the thought of picking up a 2in1 usb dongle, but I heard they aren't that good.

    What's would be the best thing to do in this case?

    Edit: The network adapter is a Gigabyte GC-WB1733DI

    PC Upgrade Advice (lemmy.world)
     

    Recently, I was thinking about upgrading my gpu, but I'm a little unsure what model makes sense. My system is quite old, but I am also (modt of the times) not a lot of an ultra graphics gamer.

    My system:

    CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 Mainboard: MSI B450 mortar max Gpu: gtx 1070 Case: Fractal design define mini c Power: Be quiet! Pure power 500W Atx

    Actually, I want to switch to linux in the future, so I tend more to the AMD direction.

    I have a budget of around 400. But I was also looking for something that isn't too hard on the power bill...

    I don't need the newest stuff so does instance a rx 6700 make sense or would you say just changing the gpu isn't enough?

     

    I'd like to build a small light that i can use to cast a shadow to a wall.

    It needs a single led that's really small and bright and that can be recharged. Also I want to put it in a special casing.

    However I don't really know how to build one myself. So I had the I bright idea to take apart a flashlight that is rechargeable, but I'm not sure which one can be dismantled.

    Do you have any idea what flashlight I could use or what parts I would need?
