Funny this about this, if they had stuck with the Popeye IP this game would likely be forgotten now. Instead they created two of the most indelible characters in videogame history.

Yea this is some bonkers wishful thinking. This is basically the Jeremey Clarkson “oh no! Anyway…” meme

This is going to upset 10s of people

Yea this is like the “Alan Rickman did his first movie at 45”. Like sure, but he was a mega accomplished stage and British TV actor for 20 years prior.

15 minutes is crazy fast and assumes they just get exactly what they want first go. You need to factor in running your PC using Photoshop or equivalent, which is fairly resource intensive, sustained over what is realistically 40-60 minutes at best, sourcing assets from servers which are using energy to serve the images. Compared with AI which has high usage for sure but it’s extremely short bursts.

You’d have your favorite mix tape with a bunch of radio announcer clips because they kept talking over the song intros

Ok but serious question, I don’t want to personally manage my music library on a server. For movies and TV this is fine, I consume a couple of these a day but if I want a steady stream of new music streaming apps have made all this very easy and very convenient.

When my 4 year old yells out in the car for a specific song, will these cover it?

Incase you missed it or didn’t finish the article they’re looking for support (I suspect they won’t be getting any from the government)

MySpace mail when?

Coolio was a part of a group called WC and the MAAD Circle. Hard to tell but it might be them.

Edit

They were also featured on a track from the same album. I’d say there’s a good chance it’s them.

Blast Corps

Not aware of a Payless comp to this. They did have a campaign where they put their cheap shoes in a luxury pop-up store and had influencers gush about the high quality products which was pretty funny.

You’d come in and slap down your penny and they would go “we can’t charge less than a penny so do you want one or two?”

There’s a famous case study where JC Penny launched a big campaign where they wouldn’t put people thought the rat race of sales and coupons and just offer the best price at all times. Almost bankrupted them. Turns out people want the rat race.

They have reels running on pixelfed.social (in the browser)

I mean it’s not that complicated. Most people struggle, often financially. You have someone promising the world. You have someone who blames the former establishment for your problems and offers simple easy to digest solutions for problems that are much more complicated. All of this is going to sound compelling and frankly he had a number of easy lay ups this electrician race. Honestly the Democrats botched this whole race. It was half Biden who nobody saw as fit and Kamela came in too late, had the weight of any one displeased with Biden’s tenure and let’s face it, was both black and a women, two thighs the US has a historically mixed run with.

Obviously this is a platform of lies but that’s all you need to get in.

Exactly. This is the result of human interference, AI inherently doesn’t have this level of censorship built in, they have to be censored after the fact. Like imagine a Lemmy admin went nuts and started censoring everything on their instance and your response is all fediverse is bad despite having the ability to host it yourself without that admin control (like AI).

AI definitely has issues but don’t make it a scapegoat when we should be calling out there people who are actively working in nefarious ways.
