If this was all gleefully explained in a TWAB, I’m going to be so embarrassed…

OMG I JUST LISTENED TO A CLIP OF THE ‘TIE FIGHTER’, AND ITS SO CLOSE, WERE THEY ALLOWED TO USE ACTUAL STAR WARS LIBRARY SOUNDS???????

I *think* they may be using what they’re calling the fly by sound in this video (around 0:49-ish?). It’s only in outer orbit, and while using our black holes, or whatever our fast jump between planets is. 😆 It seems to switch to the regular ship sound on approach.

Yes, that’s the X-wing! I only use it on a baby hunter on my alt acc, and haven’t played her in ages, so when I heard it last night I was like, Whaaaaaaaaaa?

I have to go check tonight if they’re using actual Skywalker Sound sounds (I WILL LOSE ANY OUNCE OF COOL IF SO).

…My first thoughts on reading that were a very giggly ‘if left in, the Vex could have simply been trying to New Age Feel Good pyramid (ha!) scheme their way into the hearts and minds of the City’s citizens.’

But then again I’m seriously coffee deprived right now, so don’t mind me. 😅

…I just need to accept? Are all schools for the creative industries pushing pro-Ai now, so there’s nothing unusual in this school’s approach to the tech?

…is actually validating the theft and plagerism, which in turn is actively leading to the loss of income/opportunities for other creatives.

I’m waiting for a response, but am I out of line? Are schools trying to prep their students for the currently shifting employment realities something…

…But I had to ask how the school teaches students to reconcile the fact that GenAi is created from the scraped work of creatives who didn’t give permission, and will likely never be fairly compensated bcs that wld kill the GenAi model’s profitability. And how inflating the ‘need’ for these programs…

…replace them, but to redefine what they can do. They went onto explain that while Ai can generate thousands of designs, it can’t feel the joy/pride/emotions behind them - that’s something only humans can do.

Now, I genuinely appreciate the time taken on a Saturday to respond. And I said so. …

The school has recently started offering pro Ai courses, so I asked if I’d misheard the recording, bcs shouldn’t they be collaborating w/humans?

They responded in a really positive, encouraging way, saying I’d heard right, and they teach their students to look at Ai as a tool, that’s not there to…

You’ll get there eventually, but grab whatever freebies the event gives you at the beginning, and the set of armor from the chest by Zavala, and go explore the world. Tear through those expansions. Find something to love IN THE CORE GAME. Do not let Call To Arms define your experience of the game.

HAVE FUN PLAYING THE CORE GAME. Call To Arms is NOT designed for new players. You will have any little ember of hope that you’ll enjoy Destiny smooshed into the ground by this event.

The event is a love note to community grinders, and folks who adore build-crafting. Not new players.

And that’s ok.

I have a rule that if I pick up a hobby, but can’t give 100% to it, the things connected to it must at least make me feel happy/encouraged when I look at them. That’s currently my drum pad & sticks, and the Morse code app on my phone. I do a little when I can, but when I can’t, they still inspire me

Seriously though, I want to be able to play both the drum and guitar portions of Enter Sandman. (Not simultaneously, obviously.)
