@RubbishFOX エーロンはもうそれをできましたね。。。

Three things:
(1) @[email protected]
(2) @[email protected]
(3) Remember that choosing where you put your attention is a moral choice.

@Bimshwel @Sasta Oh this is awesome! The expression here is _so_ good.

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@MTG_Arena Hey, I've got nothing against golden packs at all, but can the counter go somewhere else where it won't interfere with trying to do searches in decks and such?

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

Pretty much this, honestly. And you can find me (posting about as much as I did on Twitter... :P) at [email protected] or [email protected]

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@ABeeWords Also not my game (though I did back the Kickstarter), I'd definitely point yourselves at Spirit Swap (https://t.co/HG7bJRMav9) if you haven't already!

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@elfsternberg Probably just didn't make it across the water — not that there was a WHOLE lot of it, but there was definitely some! (And of course it's basically all sold out since the series is a couple of years old now...) https://t.co/4oU8GAPk5V

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@ChelivanOtt @Sasta Yeah; there *was* actually a personal muck that turned into FM, but it wasn't that. I think it was some little Disney thing that Gypsy and Drew put up.

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@dajagr I suspect that the instance might be too small to have been caught in the Twitter sweep.

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@elfsternberg Oh, the point of capitalism isn't to work and earn money! It's to _not_ work, and make money by other people's efforts.

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@__nk_bk @maro254 @mtgaaron @NorrYtt I recognize that it's not, but it seems 'cleaner'.

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@maro254 @mtgaaron @NorrYtt Apologies if I missed this somewhere along the way: was there a particular reason why Urabrask got this clunky wording rather than the seemingly natural 'any time an opponent would draw a card'? Too annoying in Commander?

@13thRookie @RED_SIM @FreyaHolmer @ArtStationHQ And even more to the point, you can say "I will get _this_ result because of this, this, and this." Even with random processes involved there's potential control and understanding. That's just not there with a neural net right now.

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@13thRookie @RED_SIM @FreyaHolmer @ArtStationHQ I think we're using the word "prompt" differently here. In all the examples (including your vector art) there's, as you noted,a list of specific instructions to create the art; you could hand them off to someone else and get the same result. That's not the case with an AI prompt.

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@RED_SIM @FreyaHolmer @ArtStationHQ The difference is the level of specification. If I'm making procedurally generated art, I'm specifying every bit of the procedure for making it. For a vocaloid song, you specify not just melody and lyrics but every bit of intonation, rise and fall, etc. Neither one is 'a prompt'.

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@MTG_Arena Been there before (P0 bug that has the service essentially offline). You folks have all my sympathies. Congratulations on getting things back up and running!

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@monokairos @raavalicious @GuildWars2 Hopefully someone here will step in with specifics, but I know there absolutely were at least a few years ago when I was playing (I've sadly fallen off of late!)

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@Sasta I'd probably put it under 'accomplice' — if you're doing literally nothing with the art then that's probably fine (but then why do it?), but if you're actually showing it, using it for profile pic, etc. then you're promulgating the validity of the technique however you got it.

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@Ir77Wolf @DurrnDragon @RainTheDriger @Ciraeon ...Tanks for the mammaries?

[Steven Stadnicki @shaterri]

@elfsternberg I mean, there are a lot of good resources on game design out there; if you want to understand a broader set of what games to to evoke particular feelings you have no shortage of options...
