Knuckledragger Posted April 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 There's a bit to unpack there. First off, the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody include "mama, oooh-OOOH, didn't mean to make you cry." The way Freddie sings the "oooh oooh" part is phonetically similar to "UWU" which was originally text base smiley but grew into something far more because Internet and because Anime. There's also "OWO" and "OVO" which are animal and bird emotes, respectively. From there things turn into "UWU voice" which is, well... both absolutely awful and with great rarity highly amusing. Essentially it means speaking in a stereotypical anime female character voice. There's a semi-regular on my TF2 server who does the most spot on uwu voice I've ever heard and it truly both horrible and amazing. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted April 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 Okay, things one could not make up for $500, Alex. The beat from that AI MC Trump track I posted yesterday is lifted from this song: "The Great TK" is a female rapper from New York ...who is a double amputee. She has a YouTube channel. I take it back. AI will never be able to replicate the human experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckledragger Posted April 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 FYI/FWIW: Imgur, the site to which I have uploaded images since 2009, is changing their ToS. All NSFW content as well as images uploaded not uploaded by a user with an account (that is to say, done anonymously) will be deleted after May 15. I've had an Imgur account since September 9, 2010 and in that time I've uploaded over 42,000 images (an alarmingly high percentage of which were posted in this very thread.) I didn't have an Imgur account for the first year or so that I used the site. I suspect any content I uploaded in that time period is on the chopping block. Also, while I don't upload anything I'd consider to be porn, I'm sure there's a bunch of photos I've posted that will not fit in with the site's new ToS. I have no idea how Imgur is going to go about pruning all the content they don't find acceptable. I remember what happened to Tumblr a few years ago and I'm a bit worried about the future of Imgur. With that said... Memes you can hear. This should make you feel old. "Knight to Bork 5."

mikeymad Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 RIP a lot of images in this (and other) threads. My big loss of images is that I made the mistake of using photobucket back in the day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted April 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 This is amusing, but it's to ...spazzy. If they work out smoother transitions between the AI generated iterations, they'll really be on to something. As it stands now the idea is neat but the execution is seriously lacking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 I find it kind of repetitive and focusing around the idea of other PF releases. Kind of made by a goofy graphic designer who doesn't really know where is leading to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted April 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Quote DIRECTOR (in Japanese to the interpreter): The translation is very important, O.K.? The translation. INTERPRETER: Yes, of course. I understand. DIRECTOR: Mr. Bob-san. You are sitting quietly in your study. And then there is a bottle of Suntory whiskey on top of the table. You understand, right? With wholehearted feeling, slowly, look at the camera, tenderly, and as if you are meeting old friends, say the words. As if you are Bogie in “Casablanca,” saying, “Cheers to you guys,” Suntory time! INTERPRETER: He wants you to turn, look in camera. O.K.? BOB: That’s all he said? INTERPRETER: Yes, turn to camera. BOB: Does he want me to, to turn from the right or turn from the left? INTERPRETER (in very formal Japanese to the director): He has prepared and is ready. And he wants to know, when the camera rolls, would you prefer that he turn to the left, or would you prefer that he turn to the right? And that is the kind of thing he would like to know, if you don’t mind. DIRECTOR (very brusquely, and in much more colloquial Japanese): Either way is fine. That kind of thing doesn’t matter. We don’t have time, Bob-san, O.K.? You need to hurry. Raise the tension. Look at the camera. Slowly, with passion. It’s passion that we want. Do you understand? INTERPRETER (In English, to Bob): Right side. And, uh, with intensity. BOB: Is that everything? It seemed like he said quite a bit more than that. DIRECTOR: What you are talking about is not just whiskey, you know. Do you understand? It’s like you are meeting old friends. Softly, tenderly. Gently. Let your feelings boil up. Tension is important! Don’t forget. INTERPRETER (in English, to Bob): Like an old friend, and into the camera. BOB: O.K. DIRECTOR: You understand? You love whiskey. It’s Suntory time! O.K.? O.K.? BOB: O.K. DIRECTOR: O.K.? O.K., let’s roll. Start. BOB: For relaxing times, make it Suntory time. DIRECTOR: Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut! (Then in a very male form of Japanese, like a father speaking to a wayward child) Don’t try to fool me. Don’t pretend you don’t understand. Do you even understand what we are trying to do? Suntory is very exclusive. The sound of the words is important. It’s an expensive drink. This is No. 1. Now do it again, and you have to feel that this is exclusive. O.K.? This is not an everyday whiskey you know INTERPRETER: Could you do it slower and — DIRECTOR: With more ecstatic emotion. INTERPRETER: More intensity. DIRECTOR (in English): Suntory time! Roll. BOB: For relaxing times, make it Suntory time. DIRECTOR: Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut! God, I’m begging you.
