Here’s an alternative version so you can really appreciate the majesty of this dude’s belly.
shadowscalei’m desperate to know the context of this photo, and if i’m correct that it’s in florida
CarmakaziIt’s an AI-generated photo and it became a small-time meme some months back.
That is shockingly good for being generated. I can’t spot a single giveaway. If you don’t count the ridiculous scenario, that is.
This image is much older than AI images. Dude is just making up bullshit.
nullNo it isn’t.
There are a few giveaways. I questioned it when I first looked so I zoomed and look at the part of a gator next to/behind the one he’s kicking. The one behind him has a strange arm/appendage connected to their bottom jaw, the strange “porelessness” of the image is almost always a giveaway to me—or at least it’s what prompts me to look closer.
And look at the guy’s weirdly short feet, the oddly small hands, etc.

Unless you bought the game in one of the countries where you can’t sign up for a PlayStation account, then you can just go fuck yourself.
Yeah i mean, if this is true (and I have no reason to doubt it ) it’s not something I’m looking to defend, but this industry stiffs customers on the regular, and in worse ways than this.
*being forced
And this is after they have already bought the game. Sony turns around and wants existing players to sign up for something that wasn’t there when they purchased the game.
How about you go buy a car and then a few months later, the manufacturer says you need to sign up for a free account to continue driving said car? You’d be cool with it? You wouldn’t think it was a dick move? Free or not, people are sick of needing accounts to use everything. It’s just another way for making money off our data and another avenue for our information getting leaked (does no one remember Sony’s track record for breaches and leaks??).
I mean, it’s standard behaviour for the industry. Gamers have been royally fucked in the ass , in public, for 10 years or more. This is nothing.
Homie, you’re pretty deep in that hole already. Stop digging.
I know, it’s almost too easy 😅
It’s Just gamers, living up to every single stereotype ever .
nah, you’re simply in the wrong
About what ?
Your line of reasoning
Which is ?
„This is nothing“, „Gamers with 15 accounts being asked to create one more“, „Gamers living up to every stereotype ever“.
You are right about one thing: making people annoyed is easy
It’s what gamers are famous for, is it not ? Becoming enraged on the internet ?
Standard behaviour isn’t an excuse for shitty practices. If you want the standard to become better, rebel against/boycott entities enforcing that standard.
Once upon a time slavery was standard behaviour. Once upon a time company towns were standard behaviour. Once upon a time, absolute monarchies were standard behaviour. Things got better because people didn’t accept the standard and took a stand against it. Not because they dismissed it as the standard.
Gamer compares been required to login with sony, to slavery.
Keep going mate - I’m loving it .
I’m pointing out that “it’s fine because it’s the norm” isn’t a logical argument by showing how absurd that argument sounds when applied to other things.
Logical arguments are sound even when you use them for other contexts.
When you use quotes, you’re supposed use words that words actually said by someone. Not paraphrase, not your interpretation. So, I suggest mastering the basics, before moving on logical and absurdism.
And when you’ve done that, go and take a long hard stare in the mirror, and ask yourself if you think it’s clever or moral, to invoke slavery as a means to win an argument about a PSN account.
You can grow from this.
The decade of epic face-plants continues. Countries, Fortune 500 companies, Billionaires, you name it, they’re all fucking up big time in the stupidest ways possible.
Good. They are all toxic parasites who offer nothing to society.
Right. None of your life depends on Fortune 500 output 🙄
Honestly, they also enshitified it at launch by shipping alongside a rootkit.
Zuberi 👀I’m out of the loop. What rootkit was it shipped with/as?
The Helldiver 2 game shipped with a kernel level anticheat software, which is proven to be potentially harmful to player’s computers but fairly ineffective against preventing cheating/hacking. The concept behind it is that a program that runs when your computer starts up with the highest level of privileges can see everything that the user is running which could hypothetically help the devs blacklist problematic programs that they’re already aware of.
MelllvarMost people, I think, don’t even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?
The thing is, they are right
“Beloved by all” Don’t be so hasty. I wish I could love games with kernel level anti cheats, but there are far better games with less risky software.
It’s a really fun game though so idk I don’t care (about the privacy concerns, your opinion is valid regardless)
It’s not just privacy. Kernel level anti cheat software opens up a new attack vector for malicious actors, e.g. your computer is less secure. Your system also becomes less stable and is prone to crash more often. This is all dependent on the skill of the software engineers writing the kernel level anti cheat of course.
Unfortunately, most software, if not most of modern IT is a house of cards.
I’m sorry to tell you this but once code has arbitrary code execution on your local device it’s already over, installing an anti cheat that is 100% necessary in today’s gaming landscape doesn’t change that at all. Name a single game with non verbal anti cheat that matters in 2024.
Why do you need anti cheat in a co-op pve game anyway?!? 🤔
To be able to play the game itself and not a different game someone else wants to force it to be?
