Markiplier :D

thanks now I’m crying >:'(

You’re welcome! Have fun!

I would say that your best bet would be to learn React Native. It’s an excellent option for mobile apps and you can reuse what you learn for a lot of other things as well. It’s super popular so you should find no shortage of resources if you get stuck.

Another option is Flutter. I personally don’t like it too much unless I also intend to target desktop (and even then I’d probably use something else) but it’s fairly popular as well so you should be able to find plenty of learning resources.

Ahh Kongregate. Haven’t heard that name in a long time. I’m surprised they’re still around.

Agreed. Even if technically it’s probably maybe fair use, it’s not in spirit. Taking Copilot as an example, it doesn’t matter if the training data was open source (and some of it most likely wasn’t), the AGPL is copyleft and people choose it to propogate free software. Even if the AI may or may not be in violation of the licence legally, it’s 100% not in the spirit of foss since the model is proprietary.

I wholeheartedly believe this too. There’s something so amazing about the feeling of creating things with your own hands and seeing what the rest of the world says about it. But the moment you rely on this to literally not starve, any unfairly advantaged competition becomes that much more dangerous.

I think the slew of flops at the box office is a sign that people are rejecting this. Putting aside what AI could do, right now everything that’s generated feels vapid in a sense, and I don’t think that’s entirely because it came from a machine. The creators were just that uninspired.

I’m personally happy that the film industry is struggling while works like Spiderverse and Helluva Boss and going against the status quo.

I mean, there’s a reason that Marvel/DC comics are nowhere near as popular as they used to be while manga gets several aisles at the bookstore.

It still hurts to see people around me lose motivation because of AI though.

Considering the amount of processing power needed to make a decent AI model, I’m pretty sure it’s already solely controlled by large companies. Plus, if it becomes legally required then people can’t exactly reject it.

In my personal opinion, I don’t think AI art is inherently bad and I’d put it on the same level as that particular style of soulless corporate art. I’m confident that people who actually care about the quality of whatever it is they’re making will commission real artists. And the existence of AI art wouldn’t take away the enjoyment of creating something with your own hands. But I’m not a professional artist so I think my opinion is irrelevant anyway. If actual artists have a problem with it, then it needs to be addressed.

While I mostly agree with you in that there’s no way most people would be on board with C2PA, it’s an entirely different matter if it becomes legally required. I don’t know how likely it is but it doesn’t seem impossible.

(Also the impersonation argument feels contrived to me. Just get your info from the source 4Head)

Well, it just bothers me that I know many people who still think art and other creative pursuits should be relegated to hobby status and I should get a “real” job. And the fact that AI is doing things that humans are supposedly meant to do for fun just doesn’t sit right with me.

I figured out why Gnome on Xorg was crashing. It was because of libinput-config. I noticed because it wouldn’t actually crash until the moment I moved the mouse. The game seems to work perfectly on Xorg.

I already tried gamescope. The results of that attempt are in my original post above.

Still, while I can finally play the game now, it’s a bit annoying having to remove a package and reboot everytime. I don’t even know if this is a Wayland issue or a Gnome issue but I don’t have the disk space to install KDE or anything.

Ideally I would like to figure out why this is happening in the first place and maybe report it upstream, but I have no clue how to even get debug logs out of this.

Anyway, thanks for the help. I appreciate it!

Okay this is extremely weird. No matter which version of wine/proton I pick in Lutris, I get the exact same issue where the window doesn’t show up but the game is running. The only difference with Steam here is that I can hear the game audio.

I am almost certain this is an issue because of Wayland but I can’t seem to figure out why Gnome on Xorg keeps crashing for me.

Alright, I’ll try that. I wanted to use Steam because then I can use my controller with Steam input but I guess it’s fine.

Yes

I tried it a few hours after I made this post but for some reason, Gnome on Xorg kept crashing and going back to GDM as soon as I moved the cursor. By that point it was getting late and I stopped debugging. I have no idea how to debug that anyway.

Yes. I tried Proton GE, Proton Experimental and Proton 8.0-2

The window doesn’t even show up on an older version of Proton.
