General Thread v3: The Hexagone

-with VA the quality is ass but gives assholes a job
-with AI the quality will be ass but takes away the jobs of almost every asshole
I was already pro AI man, you don't need to sell it to me this hard

Yeah, but now any asshole with the basic ability to type words can spam hundreds of "works" with absolutely no effort. Just look at how useless Pixiv is if you don't filter AI art. Type a prompt and in 30 seconds you can make 100 variations of it to upload as "your" art, and every single one of those people is an entitled asshole that thinks they did something impressive.
AI is basically the equivalent of an asset flip video game for art/va/music/etc but requiring even less work to do.

You think VA is trash now? Just wait until everything that gets released ends up sounding like a Bethesda game where only 10 voices exists because those are all that are included for free as pre generated voices in the services they use.

Lemon woman is singing

Damn Lemon woman streams while I'm at work. Definitely catching the vod when I get home.

Speaking of Lumi music, I hate to admit it because it makes me feel like a shitty fan, but when Lumi released her album earlier this year, I gave it a casual listen while doing other things. None of the songs stuck with me at the time, so I moved on and forgot about it. Never gave it a proper listen.

I'm happy to say that because of Dizzy's radio show and Lumi playing the songs in the background of some of her streams, some of the songs hooked me in, and I gave them another listen. I have to say, I definitely like the album now. A couple songs still haven't really stuck with me, but some of them have been good enough for me to have on repeat for the last few days, especially "Astronauts". Great song. Her singing voice sounds amazing, as always.


And to numberfag a bit, if you combine the YT views and Spotify listens, this song has reached 100k listens. Many of the others are around that too.

Good job Lemon Woman.

Germany still mostly used horses for logistics all throughout WW2 due to them not having much oil, The NVA uses horses as well for logistics and during the War of Afghanistan some rebel groups have mounted units that uses horses and fight like Dragoons like the old days of the 18th-early 20th century.

There is in fact something to be said for using horses in terrain like Afghanistan's. Which is why some specialist US formations did move on horseback in Afghanistan.

And between RPGs, ATGMs and MANPADS, cavalry's not helpless against air or armor, either.

What I'm saying is, vote Tomoe:

Astronauts and Void are the ones that stuck out to me. Lemon Bitch is a novelty song, but memorable for what it is.

Try looking at the Steam new tab with the porn filter off, 90% of the shit you'll see is AI art porn VNs.
The Proompter, bottom-tier techbro has the same mentality of the twitter artist, but none of the skill.

Ina won't be able to stream while she's in Japan for the rest of the year.

 

[Horo7618]

Comma bros, we're safe?

Summary of Ina's trip situation.....

• She's back in Canada temporarily - this was a planned return for a family commitment
• She had the choice of staying in Canada and losing all of the money she paid for the rest of the JP trip (it was on her dime) or heading back to Japan for effectively a vacation because she can't work
• She's taking the vacation option, so she'll be back on hiatus again soon.
• She was very upset when she posted that first tweet, but has accepted the situation (or so she says, I think she's still pretty pissed personally)
• [edit] Mama'nis is going to JP with her when she goes back

Wtf? Is this info from her current stream?

*Kazuma agrees* Nooooo! Poor Ina!
