@ballistic972 @mrisekc_ I remember Forza 4 had Jeremy Clarkson give his own thoughts on a good number of the games higher profile cars in Autovista.

@Rahll "everybody uses AI"
and how many of those people wouldn't even notice it's gone / wouldn't care and move on if it were to all disappear tomorrow? big difference between using it WILLINGLY vs using it because its shoehorned into every crevice of the internet

[foxorian @foxorian]

@shanedk @Rahll and where did the data come from that it was all trained on lmfao you are not a serious person

[foxorian @foxorian]

@Piiunivers @egginalong @JodTheCod although on discord you're not trying to game/fight an algorithm or get followers or farm engagement etc. Higher potential to make meaningful connections, find real answers to a path you're trying to follow etc. Not falling into the trap of wanting to become an influencer.

[foxorian @foxorian]

Slight counterpoint: you’d be surprised how many professional working artists have next to no social media presence at all. (It’s a lot.)

@SteP__Arts and after a certain point, if you're a pro with decades of prior experience, you just don't even update your portfolio anymore because you'll have enough people simply knowing you as the guy to hire from so many past projects

[foxorian @foxorian]

@PSDeeart for sure, and the quality of your contacts/mutuals in that is far more important than the quantity of followers. Meet the right person and they can give you work for YEARS

[foxorian @foxorian]

@ReddishPeach have a GOOD portfolio and meet people outside of social media
- discord groups
- IRL meetups
- industry events (for what you're interested in working in)
- portfolio submissions and getting your work on file through contacting studios etc

@Cicadas1999 @highfeye Having a www.portfoliowebsite/.com is not the same as social media. You're not going to stumble on their portfolios by chance, especially if passworded. They get sent through traditional applications, portfolio submissions, and word-of-mouth sharing internally.

[foxorian @foxorian]

@Jullfus Speaking more from the perspective of industry arts/entertainment jobs, social media CAN help, but the size your following / being an influencer is not what's important. Making connections with specific people matters more. Quality not quantity type thing.

[foxorian @foxorian]

@highfeye They’ll still have portfolio websites to show their work, often behind a password. Depends highly on what industry you work in, by portfolios get shared around by internally by recruiters, art directors, producers, supervisors etc etc

[foxorian @foxorian]

@axl99 the more I've gotten into my animation career the more I've also peeled back from feeling like I need to post online etc

[foxorian @foxorian]

having a social media following can help in some ways but make no mistake, having a high follower count does not necessarily translate to having a successful career and you shouldn’t chase one thinking it will lead to the other.

[foxorian @foxorian]

when you have one guy on your bg team who REALLY insists on only using blender/sketchup

[No Context Disney XD, Jetix & Fox Kids. @NocontextJetix]

Goof Troop flexing it's animation out of nowhere.

[foxorian @foxorian]

@KirbyHammer7 @SleepyWeebles this is the correct mentality

[foxorian @foxorian]

like, you're gonna spend between $1000-$2000 on a new console and for what? so that the shader engine can render 10% differently? (not even better -- just **differently.**) So it can use DLSS5? whhooo caAAARREESS

[foxorian @foxorian]

I have two PCs running older GPUs (RTX 3080 and Radeon 7900XT) and they still feel like more than enough power for modern gaming. Even without AI causing price hikes, I still think recent hardware is more than capable enough especially if games are optimized better.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Xbox is reportedly planning for their next console to release in late 2028.

Microsoft is internally projecting that the console could cost consumers between $1,200 and $1,800, unless they decide to subsidize the cost.

I mean the looong AAAA game development cycle is already so unsustainable offering dubious meaningful improvements to players, I don't think the answer is to give studios even more powerful hardware they have to develop for (and continue not to utilize properly at your expense.)

[foxorian @foxorian]

@cocoadisanjh like a part of the appeal of pod racing is as if some surveyors for the league just went around like "yes. this terribly treacherous area looks like it'd TECHNICALLY work for racing. let's see what happens."

[foxorian @foxorian]

@cocoadisanjh something this just made me realize it that I really love how so many of the game's tracks are placed around natural formations like some kind of high speed scrappy rally racing rather than using bespoke purpose-built racing tracks like you'd see in Wipeout.
