@xianc78 would you pay for and run an AI service to do that for people that wanted to use it? or have it run locally and require a decent amount of horsepower to be used any time you loaded a website with images? i feel like it would bog down your system quite a bit if it were run locally, and obviously the cost would be a pretty penny if you were running it for other people to use.

nothing new is original, including memes. they are thoughts that enter into the world already built upon previous thoughts from others, which were already built on previous thoughts. if you find them annoying then that's fine i guess, but if you want all the non-original shit filtered out then where exactly do you draw the line? how far does something have to deviate from the original to become original again?

@dookie they're all from baraag.net, mostly loli artists. Pawoo.net too, but it's Japanese so it doesn't make it easy to find stuff. It also kinda glows. Mastodon.art has more "normal" art but don't expect them to be able to reply to you.

The other place I go for art though is Newgrounds, which doesn't allow loli at all, and there are a pretty good chunk of artists there.

Unfortunately there are way too many that are still stuck on Twitter.

@alke yeah I can't see it at all lol

@Youngblood @LukeAlmighty @c it was started by some guy getting triggered by a Pokémon game showing the male and female signs under the classification of "gender" instead of "sex"

Not even what the original post was about

Nevermind it started raining before I could even leave the house.

Weather is shit again but I'm gonna go play anyway, hopefully I don't get rained out.

@Mr_NutterButter I don't even classify myself as anything anymore. A constitutionalist, maybe...? I have a pretty varied set of views regarding a lot of different things, I don't want to be reduced to a caricature or something.

@xianc78 I just see that being too taxing for not a widespread enough use case

@Youngblood @LukeAlmighty @c the way the word is USED in public conscience is new.

@Youngblood @LukeAlmighty @c yeah new as in 15th century lmao

@Mr_NutterButter they always were, just not as bad as the left has become. The right is combating the left with more authority.

@xianc78 Hyrule is more like "hylia's rule" than "hylians rule." there is a lot we still don't know about the Zonai, but legends and such refer to them as gods, so perhaps hylia was a Zonai as well.

Eiji Aonuma has stated it does take place at the very end of one of the timelines, but never revealed which one. He's the guy who came up with the timeline to begin with so I'm assuming he isn't just talking out of his ass.

My interpretation of botw/TotK in the timeline is that it is perhaps a more unified timeline in 2 ways.

1) many zelda games are, in botw's lore, simply legends. Perhaps glimpses by sages into different realities and perpetuated as legends.

2) many zelda games are inevitable, regardless of timeline. They all will happen at some point and it will all happen over and over again.

Perhaps Zora lived elsewhere, beyond Hyrule. This is alluded to in TotK with the idea of more domains than just Zora's Domain that exist out of Hyrule. It's possible that some may have evolved differently or not at all depending on their geographic location and timeline.

That is to say nothing of the koroks, but that one is more easily explained. Deku Tree turns them into sprites to protect them from Ganondorf before Wind Waker, so it stands to reason that he would do the same before breath of the wild at some point.

I definitely agree though that the story was only made more confusing and it doesn't really respect itself. It tries a little too hard to be the "smash ultimate" of zelda games, so to speak. The only game that surely exists as more than mere legend is Skyward Sword, given the existence of Fi inside the master sword. Perhaps Ocarina of Time as well, but we can't be too sure that those aren't just legends either.

@xianc78 how would that even function? I can't imagine it would perform very well.

@Mr_NutterButter hell no, I keep my cringe around
