The licensing is going to depend largely on what model or service you use. I imagine the website will have an About or License page which will detail your uses.

If the license isn’t permissive, it would be somewhat ironic since it’s an open secret in the industry that those models are trained with stolen images.

Asking this question on lemmy is probably going to give you a spicy time. Many of us despise AI.

Can I use it as inspiration and make my own assets that are similar but not the same?

Legally, I don’t imagine this would give you a problem. You’d be using the prompt as a reference and then creating your own assets. The generated image is likely to be watermarked in some way, so I’d recommend tracing it.

I’d really recommend you drop AI and run though. I suppose many people don’t really care, but in the indie gaming community you could be burning a lot of goodwill by using it

If you’re considering assets, you can get free ones from Kenney or Open Game Art. They might not meet all your needs, but they’re an excellent tool for prototyping or supplementing your other assets

Counterpoint: if people feel like they can’t talk about these things then they’ll never talk about them and the condition often worsens.

I also feel pretty powerless to help in a meaningful way. But I’m not going to shun someone who’s struggling either

There’s lots of schools of thought on how you should write your diary, but imo the most important thing to keep in mind is that diary is for you.

I primarily use my diary as a coping mechanism to deal with stress and to reframe my outlook. This means I don’t think very hard about what I’m writing, I’m just putting my feelings onto a page. Then once those thoughts are on paper they become easier to deconstruct.

My primary diary pulls double duty, and I use it to plan out the following day. When I reflect on how today went, it’s easier to make a plan for tomorrow. And at least in my experience it’s easier to make a plan the day before than to wait and see how I feel the next day.

Some people like a themed diary. I keep a separate gratitude journal where the only rule is to write things in it that made me happy. This is helpful on bad days when I can’t think of anything good going on in my life

If you’re into mental health and self improvement, there’s loads of literature on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) online. CBT is the gold standard of psychiatric care currently, and is primarily self directed through journaling exercises. Searching for these exercises could give you a framework if you’d like to follow something a bit more rigid

People in traffic often seem to be in a big hurry and drive recklessly so that they can end up waiting at the same red light as you

I recently started a new job which I think is going to destroy my health. Standing on concrete all day, ugh.

So to counter the incoming joint pain, I’m doing lots of stretches and yoga. Bringing lunch from home is also helping the diet, that should hopefully pay off.

Ironically, I took this job because I thought it would be better for my mental health. Less stress, gets me out of my basement (I was working from home), and it’s much more physically active.

But gosh, my bones hurt. I might have to leave this job too for my health. Maybe the lesson here is that working for the man is bad for your health

Did that one make you laugh? Because I’m definitely stealing this

I’ve done a couple tours myself, it’s no picnic

I feel it’s one of those jobs that everyone should do at some point in their life. That or customer / food service. Either exposes you to some of the rudest, most entitled people, and if everyone had that exposure I feel there’d be more empathy to go around

I tell you though, hearing people yell at your mom all day is great motivation to stay in school to find a better job

I was the kid, mom was working in a call center

I learned that people suck, and I still hate talking on the phone.

I also learned sudoku because you have to do something between calls.

What tool are we going to use to measure the bias of the bias meter?

This might technically count as physical, but when drawing or writing I really hate the texture of some tools or mediums

Dull pencils, dry markers, cardboard, chalkboards (or maybe just chalk) all make me super uncomfortable.

It’s hard to describe. It’s like getting shivers, I hate the sound and feel of it

Same, fam

It’s never easy, but it does get easier

Unless it doesn’t, but hey, I don’t want to worry you

It’s fortunate where I live that poison control just uses the standard emergency services number.

I can’t imagine how hard it must be to recall the number during an emergency where time is a factor. Particularly if the number is like 0118 999 881 999 119 725… 3

I hope your kids are okay

I forget which king it was (I’m sure someone here will tell me) but his solution was to divide his kingdom among his two heirs.

So the idea was that one heir would do the dividing and the other heir would then pick which kingdom they wanted.

This is a great solution to making sure people share a cookie / snack / etc fairly. The divider has an incentive to keep things as fair as possible.

I think this ended in civil war though, so your mileage may vary

Correctamundo!

That’s an odd way to ask for clarity when you’re looking for help

Squeaker, Fire-belly, Poison Dart, Ghost, Parsley

I think the answer depends on how you define art.

Like, the artist in me wants to have a discussion about the appeal of abstraction versus impressionism, and whether you should compromise your artistic vision for the sake of commercial success.

The pessimist in me says that the most popular physical art is probably Pokemon trading cards and other merch.

“Physical Art” is a pretty broad category because there’s still a million mediums you can choose from. Would making prints of digital art count as physical art? That might be a question for the philosophers.

Anyway, if you’re looking to break into the scene then you should probably visit some craft fairs / galleries / tourist traps and see what they’re selling. Talk to the artists in the medium you want to explore.

Mom’s lasagna is the best. It’s the benchmark against which I compare any other lasagna.

She used to make a really great pizza too, but geez, it’s probably been decades since she made one

We’re not Italian, I guess I’m just nostalgic for the food of my youth

This might count as “unusual” punishment, but imo it’s far less cruel than what’s usually on the table on death row

Segue, what makes you more comfortable for B?

This 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑
Or
That 🌕🌑🌑🌕🌑🌑

My first read I missed that the you were spinning the chamber between shots. I was thinking people pick B assuming its the first one and then get fucked the second way

Anyway, I think I’d go with C. If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen, and I didn’t get to death row by not believing in instant gratification
