    EDIT 2: I'm beginning to suspect that tukareta_inu MIGHT be using animal character designs for reasons beyond just that being common for cartoon characters.

    Maybe this says more about me than anything, but I was picking up that vibe from the very first one of these you posted.

    The key is whether there's space for a human to climb in, and whether it has its own power source for locomotion.

     

    If the human needs to use their muscles to move it, it's a suit. If it has its own reactor and servos, it's a mech.

    Pizza Tower good.

    Armored Core 6 good.

    Remnant 2 good. except the final boss god that shit was frustrating

    Mario Wonder good.

    Pikmin 4 good.

    Baldur's Gate 3 pretty damn good.

    Hi-Fi Rush made me happier than any other game has in a long time.

    It's called "We're actually pretty proud of this diving animation, but if you wanna try and simulate rope physics on a goddamn N64, be our guest!"

     

     

    The style never really took off in the game industry, and I would imagine the name had something to do with it.

    Same challenge as last week, hard mode:

    A tragic scene showing the effects of emotional abuse in a relationship. Lil' Fox Dude is going to the cinema with his girlfriend, Other Dog Lady. He's looking forward to seeing the latest installment of his favorite franchise, "Foxes In Space IV: The Space Strikes Back!", but Other Dog Lady starts putting him down for being a weird nerd. She keeps reminding him that she didn't want to see this stupid movie. He tries in vain to defend himself, but he doesn't see much point in arguing with her. He knows how she gets when she's angry.

     

    Then ODL tells LFD to buy them some snacks. They used to split food and drinks 50/50, but somehow over the past couple years, she had gradually convinced him that it was his job to pay for almost everything. Surprisingly, she gives him a coupon she found. At first, LFD is surprised and elated - but then he realizes that she's probably only doing it to gain some leverage over him.

     

    Sure enough, not even a minute later, she's saying he "owes her one" for the coupon, and starts asking if they can watch "The Canine Cardiologist", a quirky romcom that came out last week. LFD tries to reason with her, saying that he's been looking forward to Foxes in Space for months, and with how busy work has been, he might not get another chance to see it on the big screen. This pushes ODL over the edge, and she starts screaming foul-mouthed insults and threats at him. Hoping to avoid making a scene, and scared of what she'll do if she gets really angry, LFD relents, and agrees to go see the other movie. All the while she keeps yelling at him about what a terrible boyfriend he is.

    I'm kind of curious as to how those of you who don't understand any Japanese would interpret this skit:

    Large Dog Lady is impersonating a police officer and intimidating random passerby to steal their groceries. Towards the end, Lil' Fox Dude starts catching on but he's afraid of what she'll do if he calls her out directly. After all, she's about ten times his size, and might have a concealed firearm. So instead he offers to call the police station and turn himself in. LDL panics, knowing that this will blow her cover. She starts screaming about hentai in order to cause a smokescreen of embarassed confusion, and promptly escapes before LFD can get the spaghetti back in his pocket.

    sorry I could probably appreciate the work put into this if I sat down and watched it but all I can think of is that one video about how stupid dramatic tf2 SFMs are

    Don't tell me you didn't cry when Scout's mom turned into the sun and said "Ya done did good, kid."

    i will try but I am slightly worried now because the highest chance to get ghost trick spoiled is NOW (and when the game releases)

    All the more reason to PLAY IT NOW BEFORE ANYONE CAN SPOIL IT FOR YOU QUICK GOGOGOGOGO!!!

    I've got a friend who loves churning out AI art for D&D portraits. If he gives it a really long-winded description with lots of details, it can turn out several dozen images that more or less fit the concept, some of which don't have weird limbs or fucked up faces. But it works fine for a tiny image on Roll20 that just needs to passably resemble a dwarven archer or a light-themed human cleric.

     

    Like Gyo said, the algorithm has to work with the data it's been trained on. And it has no idea how to make something new from two unrelated concepts. It not only lacks the creativity to imagine what Chef Kawasaki's supple, egg-shaped body would look like under that apron, it also lacks the intelligence to understand that it needs to do that.

     

    The dirty secret of machine learning is that it's just letting the program fiddle with its own values, basically at random, until it produces desirable results. It doesn't know how it got the results we like, and adjusting any of the values manually probably won't result in any useful changes. There won't be a "Kawasaki cup size" value, for example.
     

    Basically, I think the human artists don't have anything to worry about. Our brains, as slow and fallible as they are, can still do things that are simply unthinkable for a computer.
