rocket kits i'm still trying to hunt down:
The Launch Pad Hellfire
Estes Exocet
Estes Mega Der Red Max (I have Der Big Red Max, Mini Max, and Der Red Max, but not the Mega)
Estes Maxi Force (I don't have a 2.5" coupler or I could scratch build it)
@Lucid00@SlayerStarX@bigmoe375@Jiikae the best part was that after that, some prominent indie dudes tried to tell me I sucked at playing games, and one was like "I beat the marauder in 45 seconds, guess journos suck" and I'd beaten that challenge in the game that requires you to beat the marauder in 20
It's really interesting how people think that because ChatGPT puts out things that _sound_ human, it _is_ actually thinking.
They don't understand that it isn't thinking at all. it cannot think, it cannot reason. it is not actually considering what it is saying.
This is done in the hopes that this work will cause a loose facsimile of that numinous, irreducible feeling to manifest in someone else's mind.
Art, in other words, is an act of communication - and there you have the problem with AI art.

@docsquiddy put it best I think when he described art as fundamentally a means of communicating something from author to reader/viewer, and so AI content can never be art because it cannot communicate anything.
The entire premise of this AI stuff, as @docsquiddy said in an article months back, is that these guys don't want ti be artists, they just want the acclaim and respect that artists have. They don't want to make art, they want to be wealthy and acclaimed.
But if you've heard him talk at length and thought, for instance, building a bunch of tunnels with conveyer belts for cars to go on, sounds good you should consider that maybe his depth of understanding transit infrastructure is as deep as his understanding of Path of Exile 2
was talking with phil about canirvalesques earlier and ended up discussing bakhtin, who has an interesting idea here (I do not know nearly enough about bakhtin yet)
