That part of the rules don't really cover game trailers.

Maybe they should touch up on that.

I got a problem that another video got passed judgment and seems like this video looks like it’s not an animation and seems like a slideshow slop. It’s just nothing but two image. Is this flaggable?

It's gone. Thanks for posting.

(currently racking my brain trying to understand how it got a score of 2.25)

Description/title of this gives me the suspicion its stolen - requesting confirmation:

Yup. It is, definitely. Here you have the URL source: (https://youtu.be/xjuR5niIIGg?si=sBmskL5h0hdgEOBZ)

Thanks. I had an inkling it was stolen, but I didn't know it got a copyright takedown until now.

Or you just want to question obvious things so you can post.

its back again

Seems like it's just an advertisement for people to go like and subscribe to his youtube page.

V0te what you like.

(I've lost track of how many times AnakSarjana has reuploaded both of these, but at this point I think its banworthy)

I feel like I've seen this same one in the portal like 3 or 4 times in the last week..

Stolen video. I'm going to guess this guy isn't MrBeast from YouTube, i also highly doubt MrBeast would open an account here just to upload 12 year old videos..

Origional video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XVcLrB7B3Y

This one looks to be stolen - the submitter's only other upload is a crappy Hangman game, and the author's using a default PFP. Requesting confirmation.

Not to mention it's game footage, which I don't think is allowed.

Yep, stolen, I took a screenshot and did a reverse image search, it came to this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO0k92iVMjE

Incase you are wondering, I used Google Lens, which is probably only going to work with well known videos.

Still, that'll prove useful if I need to confirm any stolen shit myself. Thanks, Rena.

No Animation - IRL Video (TW: Gore for the love of god plz don’t watch this)

Agreed. Go watch this one one, or maybe this one instead. Better than an eye wash.

I see some assets that look AI-generated. What do you guys think?

The first and third one are fine. The character portraits are AI-generated, and so is the voice acting, but the pixel art and dialogue appear to be human-made. The music is probably fine too, but I'm less certain of that. On the whole, using AI assets for your game is permitted for as long as it doesn't make up the bulk of the project.

... Which is the case for the second game, which is a VN, and all the illustrations are AI-generated.

Non animated and the first three minutes is a guy breaking into cars and stealing stuff. Rest of the video has random crack addicts flashing the camera for beads and a bunch of drug addicts being videoed...

I got another concern since I’m still new to the forums, I found another video that got passed judgment and it looks like it used a 3rd party assistant using plotagon. Is kinda looks like a 3d version of goanimate. Is it flaggable?

The rule was created to give us an avenue to remove crappy vyond/goanimate/plotagon content that didn't break any otherwise existing rule. Not ALL submissions that use that software need to be flagged. Crappy ones can be, the rare but decent ones can be left alone. I'll watch this particular submission in a bit; busy doin some things now.

Barracks Roster as of December 1st, 2024:

Greetings, all - and welcome to the last roster of 2024! It's amazing to think that this year is almost over. It's been a hell of a ride, and from the looks of it, 2025 may not be any easier. It seems that so many negative things are swirling around us now, from vicious politics to economic worries to wars in Europe. Throw in some nasty weather patterns and fear-mongering media so no matter where we look, it's trouble.

But I'm not going to let all that control me. Am I concerned? Yes. Do I feel overwhelmed? You bet. Does it impact my life - yes, but only to the degree I allow it to.

I have a hanging rug in my living room, and on it is the Serenity Prayer:

"God grant me the Courage to change the things I can change, the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, and the Wisdom to know the difference".

And even if you are not religious, it still carries an important message: You can't change everything; do what you can, but don't beat yourself up over the things out of your control.

I can't solve all the worlds problems, nor can I change how the politicians, world leaders and the media act. But I can change myself - and in doing that, hopefully spread some good to others to be passed on still.

Remember when you were younger, and didn't know or care about the world's problems. Your world was your family, your friends in the neighborhood, going to school, enjoying days off, and living a relatively uncomplicated life. The people around you weren't perfect, and unless they were truly abusive or dangerous, you got along with them. You valued your friends and their opinions, but you didn't need their approval to be yourself. And if you were like me, anything outside of your sight range and neighborhood didn't really affect you.

Life is not as simple as that today, but we can make it simpler. Spend more time with family and friends in person, and less online, where countless opinions and fictional stories masquerading as facts constantly overwhelm us. Stop and think about what you really have - not the material things, but the people around you, or your pets or teachers or friends. Think about how they fill your life - and how you fit in theirs. Remember the times spent together, and think about making plans in the near future to make more memories.

I say this because as an old lady, my circle of friends and family grow smaller each year. Death is the great equalizer - you may cheat it for a few years, but eventually, it will take you. When I think about those friends and family that have passed, I don't remember the politics or religious arguments, - I remember their conversations, their friendships and caring, and how their life helped me feel a little bit more complete. I remember the jokes and the trips and the stupid pranks; the laughing and the crying, the joys of holding their new babies and the tears when we had to bury parents.

So, my Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus/Holiday wish for all of you is this: May you find it in your hearts to push back against social pressure and anxiety, and see your family and friends as they truly are: the light in your life that makes life worth living. Sure, they're not going to agree with you on many things, but as I said, unless they are truly dangerous or abusive, they are worth holding onto.

Along those lines, this old hippie is reminded of a song by the late, great John Lennon - and part of it goes like this:

Imagine there's no countries - It isn't hard to do;

Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion, too

Imagine all the people, living life in peace.

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one...

This message is over 50 years old (it's an anti-war song), and it still rings true today: it's world leaders and politics and religion that cause us to take sides and create conflict; but we, as people, can find peace outside of all of that. We can live our lives in peace when we shut out all the noise from those that seek to control us.

May you all find that peace, and may happiness, love and friendship abound in your life. I am blessed to be part of this wonderful community here, and I am grateful to be able to share part of my life with you all. Thank you, all of you, for that!

Happiness and peace to all, my friends!

-Anne-

I find it hard to have friends, let down, left out, and gaslit too many times. So opening up is hard, so I keep people at arms length, and hide behind a smile.

But I'm still going, and atleast this year, I am breathing properly, and not coughing up blood, that is a bonus! Last year was an awful chest infection through December, and my chest was still in pain into March, long after it cleared!

No animaton, still image.

"Your submission must not simply be an advertisement. This includes short "low substance" videos intended to direct people to your [Kickstarter]. It's ok to promote a [Kickstarter] but your upload shouldn't feel like a gimmick to simply siphon viewers."

You're being too strict and picky. And, you have to hit play to get things to move. Seriously, ease up a little. Live life a little and enjoy the world. Effort went into this. It's not a spam submission. No need to post this. I banned nony-froggy due to this post. Just cuz.

The effort:

One background pan: the characters lifting their hands, text

And? It's not a still image then, is it?
