To convince people that something happened…

This isn’t a theoretical, people have been manipulating photos from the start

Well then, looks like I was wrong twice lol

So the only point is to just hide skin, thus the mesh is defeating the purpose?

You don’t think someone would take a picture of a doctored picture?

Sir, We Have an Orc Problem

[Edit] looks like the devs kind of gave up on it. This new game might be better

The negative is hard evidence that a photograph was taken of something. But that thing could be a still image and that image could have been tampered with or generated

I wouldn’t call it weird, I work in an industry that has to deal with it almost daily lol

Its nice that it’s one plug size but it’s frustrating that they had the opportunity to truly standardize with it and we wound up with this. Same thing happened with HDMI but this has even jankier results.

I’ll also give it credit that laptop docks are 1 cable but my new work laptop requires the power cord for maximum power so it’s less exciting now

I think billboards and social media ads? I’m not sure, I just saw it mentioned in an article a few months ago

Long article blowing something minor out of proportion and then they throw in “if I were to be cynical”

Buddy, everything you wrote reeks of cynicism. You’re demonizing them for using an LLM to track down a bug that even the Unity developers couldn’t figure out. They didn’t say “build a game and make it fun”

Why are you weirdly defensive of the USB spec?

They’re deliberately pushing hard in India, apparently.

Not necessarily! There’s multiple types of USBC ports unfortunately. It’s a damn mess.

“USBC will replace everything!” but then they made a dozen different unnamed USBC specs that not every cable supports

Wouldn’t the mesh panels allow that part of your body to dissipate heat better? Or is the material of the rest such a bad insulator that it doesn’t really matter?

Forgive me if it’s obvious. Society doesn’t expect ME to dress a certain way at the gym so I am completely ignorant on the subject on leggings

We leverage the latest AI models to deliver seamless gameplay workflows. We are disrupting traditional video game paradigms with cross-platform, competitive prompts

Pretty lame to include a picture in your text post.

Yeah the title doesn’t seem to match what they made. Sounds like it tastes like a potato that was cooked as part of a dish and absorbed the flavors. So, a very flavorful potato

be creative, make it look great

Yeah, it was “reddit has bacon and narwhals, we need our own thing!!”

Meaning it was completely inorganic and painfully lame. As a whole, Lemmy should all hold up a spork and call itself tEh PeNgUiN oF dOoM for being so quirky and random

Ooh gotcha - hold on, let me ask Claude.

Just kidding. My overall criticism is that there’s way too much going on. Here are some more-specific suggestions:

Navigation:

On PC, the nav bar is two lines tall and on mobile, all 9 buttons are vertically stacked.

You can probably merge at least half of these pages into each other to save space. Honestly you could just drop the entire nav bar entirely and put the About and Join sections as part of the header

Projects:

Right now, it kinda looks like a long essay with headers. I think you should put a background color on the divs for individual projects to separate them from each other.

The tags take up HUGE amount of space. You have to scroll over a full page length to get to the projects. I think it would work much better as a text list on the left side. An example

-followup on that, wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a “grid view” like in that link. It’s currently hard to quickly browse unless you’re in a category with limited projects

-I just noticed that the same crazy long list of tags is at the bottom of the page, too.

Aesthetic opinions:

The 3 images in the header are 3 different art styles that aren’t meshing well. Drop the rainbow URL and 🚫 images and use the brain guy, centered, as the logo.

The green Total Projects bubble should be smaller (horizontally) and the text should be centered.

Rounded corners are not in fashion. While I don’t particularly have a problem with it, the style makes the page look dated
