Did the AI create Mario Junk™️ that had to be blurred out?

Looks like one of those stills from Ren and Stimpy, or Sponge Bob.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah, the "gross-ups" lmao

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I watched Ren and Stimpy daily as a kid. 🥰

"Screenshots taken from various formats"

As a ZX Spectrum owner that phrase is still traumatising.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

True. However back when these games were state of the art, you somehow were able to imagine the graphics to be better than what was actually on screen. At least that's how it felt to me (played my first games in the early 90s).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Of course, although in the 90s there were also some that stood out in terms of graphics and soundtrack 10 years ahead of the rest, like MDK, a real gem. Now you can play it for free, right in your browser

https://playclassic.games/games/action-dos-games-online/play-mdk-online/play ( it loads DOS Box)

or download it from GOG or Steam for Windows (€9.99)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I bought MDK two years after release for 10€ because the screenshots on the box looked pretty but I was super disappointed once I saw it in motion on my PC... Back in these days game graphics got better so quick, that a (originally super pretty) two year old game looked bad on my PC.

Another young actor's life destroyed by drugs and alcohol (I knew something was fishy about these shrooms.)

Edit: I wish that GIF would play without clicking it (Jerboa). 🤔

Edit 2: Plays fine in Sync at least...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm fine since I'm using Liftoff :D

How did it know to put an M on the hat?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because either the person who made this face the AI some extra prompting, which might explained the other oddities, or this isn't the work of AI at all.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The more I look at this, the more I doubt an AI was involved. Too many aspects of the clothing, body, etc are just way too consistent.

"4K" apparently just means "some higher resolution than pixel art" now

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that botheres me, too. Also when a game is labeled to have "psx graphics" and it just means that they use low res textures without filtering but at the same time it has real time shadows, requires 4GB VRAM and uses bunch of other modern techniques.

JFC that’s unsettling shit right there. It makes my scalp itch

Luigi: "Mario, I think the mushrooms are kicking in."

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why is the crotch greyed out?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Mario is suffering from incontinence these days. Dude is well over 70 years old maybe 80. He was a master plumber back in the early to mid 70s, so he would have been 25 bach then, at least.

New Mario X The Last of Us crossover.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Turns out all that jumping about in the sewers was not the best for Mario’s health

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this like when porn performers complained about 4K because you could see their imperfections?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They did that?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see AI still can't render hands well. Apparently pixelated feet give it problems too, judging from Mario's nightmare fuel feet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There's AI that can sometimes do hands okay. It still often fucks up, so a human has to curate the work. And ideally selectively prompt the AI to regenerate parts of the image until the whole thing is perfect. I think Midjourney has the best performance so far. You can take a look for yourself in one of the many AI art communities. They're sadly not as active here as they were on Reddit, but there's imageai and stablediffusion communities (I forget the instance)

Take it back!!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Someone needs to make a ROM hack out of this lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Go back, go back!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I hate it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'd say this pretty accurately shows the current state of video game remakes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ah another corrupted by the blight of Nurgule

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

can we get a nsfw tag, that was very disturbing.
