I just heard Heart's Crazy on You and was thrown back to guitar hero, and wondered if anyone has tried emulating it?

I found some replicas, thinking about picking up a controller and seeing what I can do https://a.co/d/0ppR6rw

Just went up, if you like Olivia, Vinyl, and Live albums this is for you!

I've found over the last few games that I find crafting more and more frustrating in games. It took me a while but I honestly think it's because Satisfactory did such an amazing job with automation that I find other systems cumbersome and clunky.

For my example today, I've always wanted to like No Man's Sky. Building bases wherever you want to, flying around the galaxy, it seems amazing! But the crafting, dear god the crafting. I have to go over here, get an ore, bring it back, put it in a machine, take the output, put it back in another machine to finally get something out. The entire time (and now I'm at 15 hours so this was not a 20 minutes and I give up scenario) I was thinking "Why can't I just connect the miner to the machine here?

I went on the forums, maybe there's something I need to unlock? Nope, in fact the forums I found literally said "This isn't Satisfactory, stop trying to change our game, the fun is in the crafting."

So, maybe my fun isn't the same anymore. Anyone else feel that way?

Love Triangles are stressful and often heartbreaking. Add five or ten more people to the mix, and instead they become comedy (but not always): Characters A, B, C, and D all love character E, who might love any of them, but can't commit for reasons of honor or basic wishywashiness. There's also character F, who might love E, and whom he might love back, but they get on each other's nerves so it's hard to tell. Meanwhile, G is sweet on C while H and I both love A. Except on alternate Tuesdays, when H's third cousin from Osaka expresses her intent to marry Character F's dog, who has an odd thing for D… You get the idea.

So, what shows have you watched that were notoriously bad with this?

So some know here, I've been unemployed for a couple of months (but unfortunately starting a new job next week). In that time I've done a few projects, and this was one I've wanted to do for a while.

The Mass Effect Character Creator! Simply drop an image of a person and it will use a model I created to generate a character code for your player. I do not store any images uploaded

Now, there's a thousand caveats of course. The ME character creators are limited, there's not a ton of customization that they could do, but it'll do it's best. ME1 for some reason loves to put scars on the faces. 1&2 are similar enough they could be joined in the same model, but 3 was a whole different beast - however try the ME3 code in ME1 and you may be surprised.

Try it out, just boot up one of the games and start a new character, and plop in some codes! If you like, share the comparisons back here, I'd love to see who you're trying and how it turned out!

For now, please keep this to our little lemmy community, I don't have autoscaling turned on, and the CPU is fairly high when generating, so I'm going to just see how heavy the usage gets for now.

Enjoy all! Let me know how it goes!

How I did it:

• Created a random code generator for each of the Slider bars in each game, and then generated 10,000 random codes. For each code then I had a macro that would paste it into the game and take a snapshot of the character. Of those 10,000 then I had a dataset. 10k images took about 14 hours of pasting and clicking and snapshotting for each game.
• Took the dataset and then trained it from the Image -> Code. Took about 6 hours to train each model.
• Source code for the backend is here

Examples I've done:

This is a space to explore and share ideas about how we shape the towns and cities we live in. Here we'll be making a place where we can openly discuss urban planning for not only large cities but also our small towns - including but not limited to transit, green spaces, walkability, traffic, and anything related to living in an urban environment.

Many of you already know me, I'm Scrubbles, passionate about Urbanism and excited to see what we can do with this community.

I welcome all posts about Urbanism - videos about it, articles, open questions, whatever you may like!

Minor housekeeping, rules will come as they are needed, my big two are "Don't be a dick" - meaning discussion is welcome and arguments are fine, but I don't tolerate personal attacks, and keep posts on target. Obviously these will evolve with the community.

Hopefully this will be my only "announcement" style post, but felt like we should kick it off somewhere. Welcome!
