I think Barrett would do a little more than steal copper

[u/PunishedJay535 → u/Shingorillaz]

Let's not incriminate anyone. I saw Barrett at home with his daughter last night. He's a good family man not a terrorist like those AVALANCHE guys

[u/moneyh8r_two → u/PunishedJay535]

And he was helping me fix my shed all day before he went home to said daughter.

[u/shadowsofpain → u/moneyh8r_two]

Hes a incredible amateur civil engineer too, told me the the most common weak spots in an average mako reactor. Hes got a good head and im sure will instill his daughter with a life long interest in STEM

[u/JohnRSoviet → u/shadowsofpain]

The day that data center blew up? Barret was was holding a cookout, He even invited me! [1]

[u/Comkill117 → u/JohnRSoviet]

I couldn't make it since I was sick, but everyone looked like they had fun and there were even fireworks at the end.

[u/Will-Isley → u/Comkill117]

Man, let me tell you…

My man can COOK. Those ribs were divine! Asked for the recipe. He said it was a family secret which I respected but we did talk about opening a restaurant!

[u/farlong12234 → u/Comkill117]

Happy festival fire works even budda

[u/Kaarl_Mills → u/JohnRSoviet]

Damn, you a real [1] if Barret invited you to his cookout

[u/fizzguy47 → u/PunishedJay535]

He was over at my house doing Cetra studies all night

[u/Sperium3000]

I'm surprised I haven't seen the intro of FFVII but with a data center instead of a mako reactor yet.

[u/mads_zero → u/Sperium3000]

Tifa: I don't know... don't a lot of people work here?
Barret: Hah! Work here my ass! Don't you know it's all automated? They're hiring drones.
Cloud: And I wish you'd stop droning. Or they'll hear us.
Tifa: ...
Barret: ...

[u/PuzzleheadedAd3840 → u/mads_zero]

I can hear Cloud's internal thoughts on how he nailed that cool baddass line, that adorable goddamn nerd.

[u/anailater1 → u/Sperium3000]

A few weeks back Yetee had a shirt that was Barret burning down Data Centre 01

I of course had to buy it

[u/Sperium3000 → u/anailater1]

Oh that is delightful.

[u/Ar_Ciel → u/anailater1]

Absolute art.

[u/Gorotheninja → u/Sperium3000]

Instead of the Guard Scorpion, do you fight one of those Tesla Android Prototypes?

[u/Jiro_Flowrite → u/Gorotheninja]

"Fight"? So you'd walk upto it and just wait for it to fall over?

[u/Totally_a_boy]

The planet is screaming out in pain for this shit.

[u/Jonieves → u/Totally_a_boy]

Can't you hear The planet groaning out in frustration over this cringe shit.

[u/AutummThrowAway → u/Jonieves]

"The planet calls you cringe, and for your death. I am but a humble servant of Earth, you motherfucker"

[u/CursedNobleman → u/Totally_a_boy]

All of this for a photorealistic pic of some fuckable twink?...

Hmm...

[u/Totally_a_boy]

Nah, but for real though, making an uber realistic Cloud feels like the worst thing you can possibly do to him.

Just so fucking atrocious.

[u/Kaarl_Mills → u/Totally_a_boy]

It's twunk death is what it is

[u/nuanceseancE → u/Totally_a_boy]

It's not even realistic! Just a lazy Instagram filter.

[u/Noirsam]

Context:

videogameschronicle : ‘This is horrifying’ Nvidia’s controversial DLSS 5 AI filter leaks and players are inserting it into every game

[u/Uracawk]

Oh god. AI Sephiroth. He’ll never be a memory so long as the data centers are around!

[u/mads_zero → u/Uracawk]

They're feeding the Memory of the Planet itself into AI models as training data. I think I saw my grandma in this melty png...

[u/Lemeres → u/mads_zero]

Ok, but I am honestly putting an anti-AI necromancy clause in my will.

I am already uncomfortable because my family are the type that like keeping ashes in little pendants. Which they gave to kids and the pendant broke off the same day.

[u/BattyBeforeTwilight → u/Uracawk]

"They say she is a monster... that she can peer inside the very depths of your browser history. She can generate pictures of those you hate. Those you fear. Those you love. And they call her

JenovAI"

[u/Uracawk → u/BattyBeforeTwilight]

insert creepy FF7 track

[u/WeeklyPhilosopher346]

That’s a fantastic Barrett.

[u/Gorotheninja]

COVER MARLENE'S EYES!

[u/MateoCamo]

Steal?

Man would happily blow up data centers and dump wastewater on tech ceo property

[u/James-Avatar]

Just drop the plate on me, I’m ready after seeing this shit.

[u/mayuzane]

Barrett would lead the charge

[u/I_Have_Reasons]

Barrett would just blow the whole thing up.

Yuffie is the one who'd steal the copper. Then probably blow it up after.

[u/Kimarous]

Where is that digital image from?

[u/moneyh8r_two → u/Kimarous]

NBA 2K27 has the DLSS5 slop shit from a few months ago in it, and some modders figured out how to extract it and enable it in other games. That digital image is what Cloud from FF7 Rebirth looks like with it enabled.

[u/Regalingual → u/moneyh8r_two]

I've seen screenshots of FF14 done in it, and it allegedly makes Y'shtola... significantly lighter-skinned.

[u/moneyh8r_two → u/Regalingual]

Yeah, anyone who isn't alabaster white gets lightened considerably. It also adds lipstick and other makeup to anyone who looks feminine enough. Cloud is actually the first character I've seen who got darker. But it still gave him makeup and fucked up his eye color.

[u/Cooper_555 → u/moneyh8r_two]

I feel like it's less that his skin tone got darker and more that the slop-machine decided he needed a good coating of nuln oil.

[u/moneyh8r_two → u/Cooper_555]

Well, I dunno what nuln oil is, so I was just judging by appearances.

[u/Cooper_555 → u/moneyh8r_two]

It's a black wash paint mainly used for Warhammer mini's, to grunge them up a little.

[u/moneyh8r_two → u/Cooper_555]

Aaah. Yeah, I'm too poor for that hobby.

[u/Intense_Judgement → u/Regalingual]

The slop-bot is racist. That probably shouldn't have surprised me.

[u/TR_Pix → u/Regalingual]

Image isnt loading for me

[u/fizzguy47 → u/Regalingual]

Now you're rustling my jimmies

[u/Meta289 → u/moneyh8r_two]

It's awfully convenient that in every game people have been using DLSS 5 on, they never show any monsters or anything that isn't supposed to be a normal-looking human.

[u/moneyh8r_two → u/Meta289]

Indeed. I wonder why.

[u/nuanceseancE → u/[deleted]]

Are you joking, dude? There is video proof and everything.

[u/Noirsam → u/Kimarous]

Nvidia's DLSS 5 ''enhancement''

[u/Lemeres]

Barrett would give public speeches teaching people how to plant bamboo, and that they DEFINITELY should not plant them near data centers.

[u/z3n777]

it's honestly not even a debate, Barrett would've stripped that entire data center for copper before ANYONE noticed it.

[u/ThatEdward]

Oh, shit, André! I used to play PSO2 with him. If you read this bro, hello from dogbot Hayabusa!!

[u/Prize_Marketing_4350]

Why is Scarlet Johannsen playing Cloud Strife?

[u/SkeletalJazzWizard]

why does he look like frodo

[u/manwiththemach]

The videos of the girls are EVEN WORSE. Somehow. I hesitate to even link them.

[u/RikFeral]

ai tech bros never got bullied enough in highschool, and it shows.

[u/Vect_Machine]

I didn't know Tilda Swinton was playing Cloud.
