I don't think you are disagreeing with me. I also mean by "expressing yourself" that the artist is trying to communicate with the community and be of value to them. I'm saying AI does not allow anyone to easily make ga

Seems pointless to learn to make singular highly detailed visual art pieces? Maybe. Maybe it always was pointless. But most visual art is not just single pictures in a vacuum. Say you want to make a game with 2d still-art, or say a comic. Y

Parent's late response to good sibling comments that no one will read: Many people here seem to think that because one is good at programming they are necessarily bad at everything else like visual art, music, and story-telling. Howeve

I have never been able to fathom how people put so much effort into remakes of old games instead of, say, creating new games. It doesn't mean you have to do commercial "indie" games. Old games are cool, but what would be cool

I never downvote and almost never upvote. Having spent time on 4chan and other imageboards, I have seen discussions work just fine without any ranking mechanism, and as such I have become skeptical of the usual upvote schemes. When there ar

I find modern games are often superior to the old ones, so I would disagree with the "anymore" part of "no good games anymore". But I disagree with the sibling comments in that I'm quite sure it's a fact for a

If I had been posed this question I could imagine it having gone two different ways. First, I could approach it as remembering, maybe not a car I saw yesterday, but a generic idea of some type of car. For example if I thought about a Japane

I've been journaling since 2015, one text file per day and have not missed a single day. However, quite often the daily consists of the single word "Working.", so the bar is not exactly high. I usually write about what I spen

Maybe not very practical, but to combat targeted writing analysis on the internet you could try running such analysis software on your own writing to find out what makes it stand out. Work to make the writing as "bland" as possibl

This. The author is obsessed, but that makes it fun to read. I've been using i3 exclusively for close to a decade and never used a window placement other than 1-3 windows in a horizontal row; switching to tabbed layout when I want some

For this to actually work you probably need to put the original text away, try to recreate a piece of it from memory, and repeat until you get it close to right. AKA the Benjamin Franklin method. Just like anyone can trace or copy a picture

Thanks for the detailed answer. I'll look into terms you pointed out. I had indeed noted experimentally that picking hues using regular spacing from the common color wheels doesn't work so well, at least not without varying the ot

All the articles I've seen about the topic talk about how to select a palette of 2-4 colors. How would one go about picking something like 8 hues, with different levels of emphasis for some of them? I'm trying to do something akin

As more powerful AI computation capabilities become available to hobbyists, I hope someone takes up researching new board games similar to Go, Chess and the other giants of abstract strategy games (ASG). Basically, train really strong AI pl
